If you want to see how quickly a pleasant evening in Rome can turn into a ridiculous public scene…read more-- come here. On International Women's Day we stopped here with my parents and our 4-year-old daughter after walking around Trastevere. We ordered espresso for everyone and sat outside. Our daughter had a small tiramisu we bought at another shop a few minutes earlier. Within seconds the owner stormed out and started shouting at us aggressively about the tiramisu. Not explaining. Not asking politely. Just yelling. We tried to explain that we had ordered drinks and were paying customers, but instead of behaving like someone who runs a hospitality business, he escalated the situation into a loud public confrontation. Then his younger partner came out and joined the shouting. Two grown men screaming at a family with a small child in the middle of a tourist street. At that point our 4-year-old daughter started crying because she was scared by the way they were yelling at us. What was the reaction of the owner when he saw a child crying? Did he calm down? Did he apologize? Did he show even basic human decency? No. He kept yelling and demanding we leave. Rome is one of the most welcoming cities in the world and during our entire trip we met wonderful, kind people everywhere. This place was the only exception. If you are a tourist or a family with children, do yourself a favor and choose literally any other café in Trastevere. There are hundreds of them. Hospitality clearly isn't practiced here.

But to our surprise after climbing roughly five flights of stairs to the top of the building where this place is situated, it turned out to be just short of an oasis! They had pasta dishes, as well as pastries and nice sandwiches on display behind the glass counters. Everything looked cool, fresh and inviting in the sunny and hot afternoon glare of day when my girlfriend and I were there. They also served juices, wine, beer and liquor for those who cater to such. Fairly friendly service which was above all efficient and streamlined. This seems to be a well frequented cafeteria, so fast service is appreciated. Plenty of shade to find under the numourus parasols pitched above the tables of the dining area. It all made for a welcomed break from the hot outdoor afternoon July sun.

Amazing food- but watch out of you're a tourist!…read more Would give three stars but not fair to the owner that the server caused the downgrade. Food- amazing- all of it. Pasta, bread, cheese... Server- told him it's our first Italian meal- (with someone that live here) . Almost upsold us on the wine (two most expensive bottles at $130 per bottle - it's not that type of place. Thankfully person we were with caught that. Then at end of meal- said we owed cash tip on top of bill. We paid the cash tip- knowing it was definitely not part of what was expected. Tipping was already included on the bill. So we paid it on the credit card. He had some BS reason he said he needed cash for the extra $10. I paid it bc - not in the mood to fight it and not the end of the world- but definitely doesn't look good. Person I was with goes here often. Not sure he'll be good back as he knows we got scammed and was pretty irritated by it.

There was a small crowd formed outside when we got there, but the key is to go in and ask for seating. Since it wasn't super crowded, we were seated right away - however after about 10 minutes, I had to ask whether or not I order at the bar or if someone would be coming to take our order. We were assured someone would be over, but then we wound up waiting an additional 30 or so minutes before we were finally able to flag someone down to take our order. I will say that within a few minutes of our order being taken, we had our glasses in hand, but only stayed for 1 due to what time permitted. Having lived in Italy before, I know that servers are less likely to check on you as often as servers from other places, but I feel that a 40 minute wait justifies the feedback, and, based on the other good reviews I fear we may have just gotten unlucky. I liked the spot and would go back, but would keep this in mind especially if other plans follow.

Their breakfast selection is incredible -- a wide variety of fresh, beautifully crafted pastries that taste just as good as they look. The cappuccinos are perfectly made, rich and balanced, exactly what you'd expect in Italy. What makes this place even more special is that it's not just for mornings. In the afternoon, it transforms into the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed aperitivo in a lovely, cozy setting. The service truly stands out -- the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit if you're in Rome -- whether it's for breakfast, a coffee break, or a laid-back afternoon drink.

I was disappointed with the bread and cookies we purchased. It's difficult to do everything well. Perhaps narrowing on one specialty is best, but I'm old school.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Piazza, Osteria del Pegno offers a quaint, romantic, authentic Italian experience. Their pastas are absolutely delicious - particularly the pesto and truffle pastas. I remembered their pastas being the best I've ever had and have talked about it often throughout the years. Our visit back yesterday didn't disappoint. Additionally, we also enjoyed their cheeseboard with 3 different delicious cheeses and a wonderful tiramisu dessert. We are returning again before we depart Italy because we love it so much. We brought our kids here this time and it was a highlight for them as well. We highly recommend you come to Osteria del Pegno if you enjoy authentic Italian pasta and want a quiet, charming dining experience.
