Very nice meal in Rome. The service was very good. We started with a house wine and beer. We shared a fettuccine for the primi and had the meatballs and ribs. Both were very good. A bit salty. The dessert was a tiramisu with chocalate and caramel and nuts. That was delicious. read more

A gem in the outskirts of the city. On this visit to Rome we wanted quality food - and as a result, we looked at YELP for some help - go figure!! Good reviews pointed us here, but did not do it justice... The location has difficulty finding parking, so be ready to walk. The pace is very small at about 15 x 25 foot area - hence not many tables. We called and got there late - they had 1 table for us in the corner. The ladies that run the place were amazingly sweet and so welcoming. The menu was small, but we order the specials. And they are highly recommended. The chefs can get creative and it works out very well. We had the pork shank and the pesto gnocchi with dry tomatoes. The pork fell off the bone and was like butter. The gnocchi was very well made with the pesto just lightly seasoned and the tomatoes balancing the flavors extremely well. For desert we had the Amereto Moose - well balanced in flavor with the right amount of liquor. Lastly, the house wine is best you will have. We did the white wine as it paired well. It will feel like water and before you know it, you will be tipsy. This is a Mom and Pop place. And not frequented by too many tourists. Highly recommended!! read more

Not sure where to begin with this hidden treasure. We walked across the street from our vacation rental to this lovely neighborhood gem. Wasn't sure what to expect and we were blown away by the delicious seafood, pork and pasta dishes ! Will dream of this place for years! read more

What a fantastic meal and service. We wanted to get out of Rome proper, venture into the neighborhoods and local flavor. We were not dissapointed, the steak was phenomenal, the sides were excellent, the very best Risotto I have ever had bar nun. Desert was amazing . Best dinner by leaps while in Rome. Highly recommended read more

Osteria del Cavaliere remains my top dining spot in Rome, even after seven visits. The warm atmosphere and professional staff make every meal special. The food is consistently exceptional, with dishes that are both beautifully presented and full of flavor. Every visit feels as remarkable as the first I can't wait to return on my next trip to Rome. Osteria del Cavaliere is always at the top of my list. read more

My wife seemed like she might kill me as we stood out front waiting for the osteria to open. The street was dark, the graffiti was prevalent, and I could tell she was quietly questioning my choice at a deep level. Once we were finally inside and the relaxing music and romantic atmosphere started to sink in, I could tell that I would not die by her hand tonight. By the end of our fabulous dinner, my wife beckoned Serena for a selfie. It was our best meal in Rome and at a very reasonable price read more

This was our final decision to end the day after searching for a few hours for best place to eat and get pasta. We hopped on the train and went over not knowing what to expect. After reading reviews we were sure it would be good. Once we arrived we were sat immediately which was nice not waiting. Shortly after we got some water and bread and placed our orders. When given our food I was in awe of it. It exceeded our expectations. The pasta was phenomenal and we also got a pork slab which blew us away with how tender it was. We also ordered the tiramisu after the main course. By far the best dessert we have had all trip. The waitress were great and helped us out with any questions. The light in the red and atmosphere was great. You are able to sit inside or outside. I would highly recommend this place to others. read more

Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. The restaurant is a neighborhood gem. Every course was absolutely delicious - especially the tiramisu for dessert. The service was wonderful. It's amazing that the restaurant is run by an incredible mother daughter duo. Will come back if we are ever in Rome once again. read more

Fantastic! Had many meals while in Rome, this was by far the best! Great service, comfortable ambiance, delicious food. The pasta was amazing, the beef was fantastic, wine selection- perfect. I can not describe how delicious everything was, you must try for yourself. Highly recommend this restaurant. I will travel back to Italy again just to come to this restaurant!! read more

The food at this place is to die for. Everything from the ribs to the pasta with pork to the beef was amazing. The homemade Tiramisu is heavenly. The service is exquisite and super friendly. This mother and daughter team proves that "Girls Rock". If you come to Rome forget all the touristy food and get over to this place and eat EVERYTHING! Can't wait to come back. read more

Great dinner here last night with a large group including two small kids. I'm not gonna lie, we're a handful with screaming kids and some with dietary restrictions but everyone enjoyed this place. We started out with the meat and cheese plate and some bruschetta. Both were very good but the tomatos on the bruschetta made it the stand out. Their signature dish, which is rectangular pasta with a sausage ragu was absolutely amazing! My daughter had the spinach and cheese ravioli which she inhaled. Other favorites were the steak and mushrooms (that portion is HUGE) so beware and the tonnarelli with pecorino and black pepper. Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely! read more

Lovely romantic restaurant tucked away on a side street offers delicious menu items that are from family recipes passed down to the Mother / Daughter team. We loved the lemon balls which are ground chicken, service and wine list are also superb. Brava ladies! read more

This is a small very cute family run restaurant. It was one of the best meals we had in Rome and by far the best tiramisu I had in Italy (and I tried many!) We had the smoked cheese with truffle and speck for antipasto, the gnocchi with cream, cheese, and saffron, and the mixed grill. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The servers were very kind. Be sure to call for a reservation. I highly recommend stopping here on your visit, it was clearly the kind of place locals love as well as tourists. read more

This was a recommendation from a friend and this place did not disappoint! It is super cozy and cute! The waitress was sweet and helpful! The food is amazing!! The pasta is to die for! I would recommend this place to anyone who comes! The price is was great for 2 people, 1 appetizer, 2 pasta dishes, 2 meat dishes, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine - about $105 US! read more

Omg. In my European trip alone, I have gone to Florence, Millan, Venice & Rome and I have to say this is the BEST food I have ate in ALL of Italy. The food is delicious. My family and I ate there and decided to order 3 different types of pasta (When in Rome, am I right?) & all 3 had so much flavor, came out piping hot, were homemade and most importantly, all the pasta was made from SCRATCH. And you could taste exactly that. I'm unsure of the names of dishes we had but I'll try my best to describe them. The pasta I ordered (which was the BEST in my opinion, but the other 2 were AMAZING as well) was the Potato Gnocchi with smoked salmon. I recommend this dish to anyone that goes. The presentation was also A+ as well. I'll post a picture of one of the other pastas we ate and the other one, well I have no clue what it was named but according to the waitress, it is their most popular pasta dish and it also is the first one on the menu. At the end, we were stuffed but decided on getting a dessert. HOLY SMOKES. This thing was HEAVENLY. I'm unsure what it was called again, but the waitress described at as their spin on cheesecake with biscotti and warm caramel. It's not in the form of the American cheesecake we eat back home. It's served in a cup, parfait style. UGHHHHHHH AMAZING. You HAVE to try this if they have it, TRUST ME on this. Next time I come to Italy, I plan to come back and have dinner here once again! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! I had 2 of the best meals I've ever had in my life while dining at Osteria del Cavaliere. I found this place because the friend I was visiting happens to live in the apartment building attached to the restaurant (lucky her!). It doesn't look like much from the outside, and is closed up until 7:30 each night. But once inside, it's very cute and not very large. They fill up every night, so you will have to make a reservation to ensure you are able to dine. They turn away walk ins! Everything we had was amazing! The owner floats around the room, while his daughters are the servers and his wife is the chef. Most everything is handmade and cooked to perfection. The sliced filets we shared (one night with mushrooms, the next night with green peppercorns) were the perfect temperature, tender and juicy. Both pastas we enjoyed were delicious as well, and the plate of vegetables we had with our steak was huge! This place is not in the city center, so it's more of a locals restaurant. More reason to find it! Trust me, you will not regret it! read more

We tried coming here on a Saturday night. All of the tables were occupied and it smelled heavenly. The hostess approached us and asked if we had a reservation. We didn't and she turned us away. We went somewhere else but before doing so, I made a reservation for Monday at 8:30. Best decision I could've ever made! We returned on Monday. The same hostess asked if we had reservations and our answer was YES! We were promptly seated and that's when the magic began. I don't speak much Italian but we were able to place our order with ease. Everything that came out to the different tables looked and smelled amazing. We ordered several things to try and they were DELICIOUS. If you're ever in Rome, make a reservation and come here. Thank me later. read more

Oh my God! Soooo good! I went on Yelp while in Rome to find a good restaurant for my family. This one had 62 reviews and was still 5 stars! That, in and of itself, is incredible. We had to try it. We got there at 6:45 to ensure we were the first in line to get a seat since we didn't have reservations. Italians eat dinner around 9 so we were able to get a table at 7 when the restaurant opened, but we had to be finished by 9. Two hours? No problem. We ordered a number of appetizers, all delicious. From the bread with different sauces to the melted cheese with mushrooms (my favorite), the food was so good. My son, who's a VERY picky eater, ate liver pate and didn't complain, which for him is the equivalent of shedding a single tear from the level of deliciousness. It must be good. My favorite entree was the spaghetti with truffle oil and bacon (I think I did shed a single tear), but my wife's potato gnocchi was very, very good. The children had steak, steak with mushrooms, and I also had steak in red wine sauce. The steaks were perfect. The flavor on point. We were too full for dessert, but I suspect they're delicious as well. I can't say enough or recommend this restaurant enough to be captured in words. We ate at a number of restaurants in both Rome and Paris this trip, and by far this was the best meal we had. read more

This place was amazing. We had no reservation but they accommodated us anyway. From start to finish the food was mind blowing. Authentic and delicious. We will be returning here as often as possible. read more

So I will start by recommending a reservation. We went there without one and had to wait outside for 30 minutes since it was full. It is pretty small so there is no place to wait inside. When we were seated we ordered the sampler appetizer with salamis and cheeses with a bottle of chardonnay. The sampler is more for like 3 to 4 people. They even brought a chilled bucket for the bottle of wine which was great. We ordered then the grigglia mista (a plate full of different grilled meats) and a pasta dish. It was amazing. Definetly one of the best if not the best dinner we had in Italy. The servers were amazingly nice and very attentive. We had a little struggle with the wifi password and she sat down with us until we got it. Then she sold us on the baileys tiramisu which you MUST try. 5 stars all around. read more

One of the most enjoyable dinners I had while In Roma. Dinner was dimly lit (I love me an intimate, rustic setting), food was delicious, and staff was very attentive and friendly. A memorable experience for sure. read more

This place was highly recommended by my AirBnB host so I walked 10 mins around 650pm. The waitress was kind enough to let me in before the restaurant opens. I ordered steak with green pepper, house red wine and cheesecake. All of them amazing! Last but not least, priced are super reasonable here. 17 euro for steak, 3 euro for a glass of red wine and 5 euro for dessert. Cannot complain! read more

So delicious. We got there when it opened so we were able to be seated but many tables were already reserved. It is a very small place. The waitress was so nice and made it very easy for us even though we did not speak Italian. The gnocchi was so light. The meatball appetizer (which was a special) needs to be on the menu every day! Very good and also inexpensive. read more

We were only in Rome for 6 nights and we decided to eat here twice. The food is amazing. We had the homemade pasta with sausage both times and died and went to heaven both times (Matricianella with sausage). It was by far the best meal in Rome and that's even taking into consideration the food tour we went on. The daughter was our waitress both times. She was very kind and generous. The mother is the chef and has an amazing vision for executing the food. They have a selection of grilled steaks and the one with red wine sauce is to die for. You must try the food here. It's definitely worth the visit!!!! read more

Excellent intimate restaurant. Reservations are a must but you can chance a walk in at opening time (7pm) before the locals eat. We had an amazing meal for 50 euros for 2 which included 2 appetizers, 2 entrees,bottle of house white and desert for my wife. Very friendly and hospitable staff. read more

Wow!! When I saw that 92 people gave this place 5 stars, we had to try it for our last meal in Rome. Three of us ordered the braised pork ribs. AMAZING! Large portion. Meat fell off the bone. A wonderful culinary experience. Paired with a wonderful and inexpensive wine from Montepulciano, this was the perfect meal. You must try this place when in Rome. read more

The best food I've had anywhere in Italy, and I've eaten a lot over the past five years! I got the pasta with sausage and on first taste I was in love. You could taste it was freshly homemade and so flavorful. House white wine was great and inexpensive and the ricotta dessert, get it! Family owned and reasonable prices! Reservations recommended as it's small inside but they will try to work with you if you're a walk in. Wish I'd discovered this family owned gem way sooner. So amazing!! read more

This is the type of place you just know is authentic upon walking in. Sleek, modern atmosphere and run by a very nice family. The way it works is you basically tell the waitress what you like and what you dont like and then she brings out dishes based on your preferences. For an app we got a meat/mozz/crustini/various spreads platter. Wow, just wow. The spreads were full of bold, unique flavors like tuna and onion, mushroom, and grilled vegetable. They were all unexpected and delicious. The meat and cheese were extremely fresh and the bread was crispy, warm and soft all at the same time. The waitress was a doll and looks exactly like marisa tomei lol. For our second course we were brought out a pasta duo of pasta with a red sauce and one with some type of primavera sauce and black pepper. Both were out of this world. As our third course we got grilled lamb with vegetables. Very juicy and delicious. However, the best, most unforgettable part of the meal was the dessert! I got dark chocolate cake with pears. There are just no words to describe this dessert. It melted in your mouth between the sweetness of the chocolate really offset the tartness of the pears. It was amazing. read more

You don't need my review to know this place is amazing, but seriously, EAT HERE. This place is as down-home, authentic, good value, delicious, quality as you can imagine. Absolutely unreal. Fantastic. Especially the misto super appetizer which was one of the most unbelievable dishes I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is homely but very classy, and the food is just the same. Everything we ate was flavorful, rich, and authentic. Our waitress mentioned as we were leaving that all the food was cooked by her mom, so you can be sure that this is as authentic and fresh italian cuisine as you can get. If you're in the area, and even if you're not, it's worth every minute to travel off the beaten path to this hidden gem of a restaurant. read more

I woke up the next morning thinking about the pasta. I don't know what else to say about that. Had a nice bottle of wine for $16 and a little of the house wine, could hardly tell the difference. The cheese plate was very fresh and tasty. We did call for reservations and that made it more comfortable because they are very busy and I think only 10 tables. read more

My wife and I dined here on our first night in Rome as it was near enough to our hotel (Holiday Inn Express San Giovanni) to walk to in just a few minutes, and we were too tired to try the "usual" restaurant scene. The favorable reviews on Yelp led us to try this place and it was wonderful! Its location is certainly tucked away, but the atmosphere, food, and service were absolutely top flight. The servers were extraordinarily kind and helpful, as we don't speak Italian. They carefully explained the menu to us. We ordered the gnocchi with spinach, grilled vegetables, and perhaps the best Tiramisu ever. The ambiance was as good as the food. If you are ever in this area (or even if you have to drive or cab it), don't miss this unique restaurant. read more

This restaurant is a hidden treasure in the city. In a very small street a cosy place to go out and have a good night and great food. We have been there with the family and even though they do not have pizza or other kids meal they were very helpful to find food for them as well even ones that are not on the menu. Their deserts were home made and delicious. The service was very kind and we enjoyed their housewine. read more
