At dinner the previous evening, we asked our server Renato at Ristorante Paris (read my review on…read morethat restaurant) to recommend a place that he would go to for dinner, not touristy and not fine dining. He recommended this place and offered to make reservation for us. We arrived with our table ready and started with the wine list. Here, I did not know which bottle of wine to order, so we asked our server, Daniele for a recommendation. I was looking for something like a cabernet, but on the dry side, not too fruity. He made an excellent choice as all four of us liked it very much and ended ordering 4 bottles for the rest of the night. We started the meal with sautéed mussels, and grilled octopus. The mussels were big and cooked perfectly, the sauce, we had to order more bread to mop it up, delicious. The grilled octopus on the menu said - carpaccio di polpo, so I thought it was like a traditional carpaccio (raw and sliced thin) but it was grilled, which was okay because it was delicious, with an excellent texture, not rubbery at all. Pastas: Spaghetti alle vongole, spaghetti with clams in a white wine sauce, which was amazing. I asked Daniele if he could add cherry tomatoes to the dish, he did. It actually reminded me of the same dish I had years ago in Positano, Italy. It was light and fresh and just amazing. You'd think - how hard could it be to make this dish amazing? you'd be surprised. Tagliolini spigola e pachino - tagliolini with striped bass and tomatoes. Nothing bad to say about this dish either, pasta was a perfect al dente and the sauce amazing. The fish was cut into small pieces but did not detract from the overall look or flavor at all. Two in my party had this dish. Spaghetti alla pescatora - spaghetti with seafood sauce. Again, everything about this dish was great. For dessert, which we could have ordered earlier, when we found out the kitchen was closing, we weren't thinking that dessert would be finished too. But, we saw another table's dessert. One of the waiters whisked fresh whipped cream at their table and poured it over fresh berries. Just the show alone of him whipping the cream would have been reason enough to order it. This restaurant was the best meal we had in Rome, if we had another night there (we only had 2), we would have certainly gone back for another meal. The service was incredible, very attentive and Daniele, our server made it better by treating us like we were regulars. We paid $170 euro for the meal and gave him $40 euro as a tip for the excellent service. Daniele if you read this review, thank you so much again for everything! - from the group that needed a wine bucket to chill the red wine. We hope to see you again in the future.

It's called Spaghetti after all! We were immediately greeted by their waitstaff. They were so friendly and patient. There weren't many people dining at this place at the time we went, but I imagine this place can get crowded during peak hours. We got their cacio e pepe and carbonara. Now we have heard that the food in Italy is amazing but had NO IDEA it would be THIS AMAZING. Both creations were delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente and integrated well with the sauces. Each bite was heaven man. My wife and I both agreed the pasta here was the best we have ever had in our entire lives. We even ordered a bunch of stuff togo so we could enjoy it in the morning (not as good given it wasn't fresh anymore). Next time we visit Rome again, we will definitely be coming here!!!!

We dined inside the cozy cucina, where the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the spaghetti so much that my husband wanted to return the very next day to celebrate his birthday! On our second visit, we returned for lunch and chose to dine outside, enjoying another fantastic meal. My husband celebrated his birthday with a delicious pizza, while I savored the gnocchi. But the food was only part of what made the experience so special! A huge thank-you to Alex, who truly is the host with the most! His incredible energy, genuine warmth, and welcoming personality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. He went above and beyond to make our experience special, even treating us to limoncello in honor of my husband's birthday. And here's an extra bonus: two other diners were celebrating their birthdays that very same day! You can imagine the singing, laughter, and festive celebration as all three birthdays were celebrated together. It was such a fun, spontaneous moment that made the occasion even more memorable! Spaghetti became so much more than just a place to eat during our time in Rome; it became part of a wonderful birthday memory. Between the delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality, this restaurant is a must-visit. If you're in Rome, do yourself a favor and stop by Spaghetti. And if you're lucky enough to meet Alex and his team, you're in for an extra-special experience! We came for a meal and left with full hearts, happy memories, and a story we'll be telling for years to come. Highly recommended!

They take credit cards, so just tap and go. Then continue walking along the ridge, enjoy your gelato, and take in the amazing views of Rome. Great gelato + great views = a perfect Rome stop! Ciao!

It's a touch more expensive and can get lively, but it excels at delivering quality in a scenic spot.

The servers are attentive, kind and welcoming. They answer any and all questions you have and even make recommendations. The atmosphere at the restaurant is a family vibe, which I love. The owner is as friendly and hard working as his staff and makes you feel like you're at his home. If I could order everything on the menu at once, I certainly would. Instead, I recently had salmon tartare as a starter and had the grilled octopus as my main. The octopus was a very large portion and grilled to perfection. The chef knows what he's doing. I did not have dessert this time, however, looking at others enjoying their desserts, I know it did not disappoint. I will be returning to Taverna Agape in the future and definitely recommending it to more friends and family. I have heard from friends that they have recommended to their friends. Looking forward to my next meal at Taverna Agape.

The restaurant is cozy and refreshing with lot of white marble and light colored decor. Mamà Ristobistrot is a great place for tourists and locals alike, but it's not overflowing with tourists which is nice. The food was absolutely excellent! We started with apps: warm focaccia and olive oil, eggplant and zucchini patties with tomatoes, and prawns and mint. All the starters were super flavorful. The prawns were some of the best we've ever had! For our main meal, we had the paccheri pasta with chunks of sea bass, tomatoes, and capers as well as the prawns entrée. I highly recommend Mamà Ristobistrot for anyone wanting lunch after visiting Vatican City!

One reason the food is a bit atypical when compared to other restaurants in the tourist areas of Rome - the food is prepared in the classic Neapolitan style.

I guess the take home is this - great place with great food, impeccably professional service, a clean/hospitable environment, and fantastic pricing. What more are you looking for?!
