The service was great, the staff was super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the focaccia to start then carbonara and amatriciana. Of course we had to order dessert and we got the tiramisu. It was absolutely one of the best tiramisus we had on this trip.

My wife and I stayed at and Airbnb down the street and we ate here every night we were in Rome. This isn't what we usually do, but the food here is so good we had to try everything. The veal with potatoes was the standout for me. This is hands down the best dish I have ever had. Anywhere. If you're not from Rome, you'll probably be the only non locals here. The waiter and the owner seem to know everyone that walks through the door. If you like wine (which I don't as a general rule), there house red is fantastic. At only €10 per liter, it's a great deal. The meal always started with free bruschetta and ended with free cookies and limoncello. For two of us to eat a pasta dish and main dish each as well as amazing tiaramisu and a liter of wine for around €60, we were very happy. I highly recommend this trattoria to anyone that wants to venture a little outside of Rome, or if you're on the Appia Antica to see the catacombs just down the street

Her Roman boyfriend has been coming to this place since he was a kid. This is where all the locals are. This was our last Italian meal, and it was a great way to end the trip. The porchetta was unreal, which you'd expect because Ariccia is the birthplace of porchetta. So flavorful. We got so many other dishes as well: bruschetta with tomatoes that definitely were super fresh, mozzarella, arrosticini (sheep skewers), (coppiette) some sort of spicy jerky, horse meat (yes -- first time; not a fan, but worth trying), and amazing cacio e pepe. We ordered a couple bottles of this fizzy red wine that they have. Didn't seem super alcoholic, but it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Everyone else was drinking it, so why not? If you're able to get out to Ariccia, it's worth the trip. Parking might be tough depending on the time of day. We had to park about a 5-minute walk away. I recommend reservations, and they do accept credit card.

We came in and ordered the Pasta Pesto and Pasta Cabonara and were delighted with some of the best pasta we've had in Rome. Alongside we ordered the Roast Beef and Meatballs with Zucchini and finished out plates even as we were stuffed! The food was delicious alongside a bottle of white wine (15 euros) and sparkling water. The restaurant owner served us personally and was very respectful. The waitstaff understood English and made the experience easy. As Americans, we need to be respectful and polite and they showed us with the exact same treatment. This was out favorite dinner of the entire trip and we ate at some of the more recommended spots in Italy and found that they treated Americans less respectfully than Trattoria Guerra. Bravo! The food was out fast and they respected the time we took to eat. Would definitely recommend this to others and would say try anything on the menu. We had a full 3 course meal for $67 euros including a bottle of wine, bread, and sparkling water. The plating was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting outside under the night sky.
