Focaccia, caprese
Jordin S.

We found this little spot nestled off on a side street where it was much quieter. The tables outside were close but comfortable. We enjoyed a basket of focaccia and caprese to pair with a bottle of wine. The focaccia was thicker than we'd had in the area and we really enjoyed the seasoning. The caprese was simple but tasty. We had a mix up on our pizza order where we received a mushroom pizza versus potato pizza. They quickly offered to remake it but we decided we were okay without it and they removed it from the bill. Would recommend for a quiet and delicious evening in Trastevere.

White wine blessed by Pope

Peppo was one of our food spots on our Tour with Eating Europe. Our guide Valentina was so knowledgeable about the pasta, sauces, etc. We got to sample their margaritas pizza, their local white wine (blessed by the Pope) & red wine as well as 2 different types of pastas. One was pasta with cracked pepper and cheese, the other pasta with red sauce and seasonings. Honestly, all the food and wines were amazing, but I preferred the pasta with cheese and cracked pepper. The staff was on par and accommodated our large group in a swift and professional manner. I'd highly recommend Peppo!

When we got there we were kind of nervous because everything was mostly seafood, but Ahmad said they would make anything we want any way we want it. And that they did! We had the fried risotto dish, the fried cod (my friend), 2 orders of pasta and the BEST pizza I've ever had in Rome. Let us not forget the tiramisu for dessert. I normally don't love tiramisu, but this was IMPOSSIBLE not to love. I'm not sure if Ahmad own the restaurant or not, but he is certainly the face and the jewel of it! Thank you for a great first night in Rome!

Tasty pizza

The ricotta filled crust was awesome, but the undercarriage of the pizza was a little floppy. Nonetheless, I love a thin crust! The pizza was tasty, but I think I prefer more toppings, but that's a personal preference. The aperol spritz was delicious and huge! The man who served us was polite and they provided adequate service.

Food was delicious. Service is super friendly. Alessio take care of our party of 4 so well. Cozy place for visitors to get a full experience in Italy.

Fantastic local Italian place with a seafood twist in a trendy neighborhood. I visited on a tuesday evening at seven pm, which is the beginning of their dinner time. The two of us shared four dishes. Octopus salad, pizza with anchovies, pasta with muscles and pepperoni cheese, and suppli. All of them were delicious. We especially enjoyed the octopus salad, which was very tender and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was also unique, something I have not seen offered at other restaurants. The pizza was fantastic, but the anchovies were a bit salty as expected. Sitting inside is abundant despite its exterior. Vibe is family oriented and romantic, and staff are very kind and friendly. I enjoyed dining there as the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy working together. I will definitely be back here on my next visit to Rome.

Pizza in the wood burning oven

We were almost not going out that night...but finally decided to go across the street to PePPO and that was the exactly right decision. The manager greeted us on the street and had a table waiting for us in minutes. The food was delicious, the atmosphere fun, and we were invited to go back into the kitchen to help make pizza! I could not recommend PePPO more enthusiastically. Go! Eat well! Have fun!!!

Naples pizza, fried cod
Maxine M.

AMAZING pizza and Wine! Reasonable prices! We had the Naples pizza and the Suppli! The bruschetta appetizer with anchovies is awesome

Pizza Marinara
Stephen M.

Love At First Bite Food 5 of 5 - Pizza Marinara is simple and rich in taste. The chefs here love good quality food. Price 5 of 5 - Simple pizza was 6€ compared to double that for a pizza with mushrooms and sausage Service 5 of 5 - Kyle was a gracious and patient waiter Atmosphere- packed with locals and fun.

Mackerel on bruschetta?  Even my 11 year old loved it.
Donnie Mac M.

Walked by this place on our way back to our apartment, and we picked up on the friendly and collegial neighborhood vibe. I picked up a business card, and we made a reservation for dinner the next night. When we arrived, they had our table outside reserved. We ordered wine, and since it was so hot, they brought out an ice "bucket" which as actually a plastic gift style bag--cute idea! The wine list has great variety and a range of prices. We ordered a more expensive bottle of Avellino, the best we have had so far! We had two bruschetta for antipasti: one mackerel and another with anchovies. Both were incredible!! We also had the octopus potato croquette which was everyone's favorite at the table. For dinner, we shared two pastas: one was green fettuccini with raw shrimp, and the other was spaghetti with octopus. The pastas were perfectly cooked with flavorful sauces. We also shared a Margherita pizza, which had an excellent crust and very flavorful cheese and basil. Our waiter, Simone, brought us some digestivo out for after dinner on the house! Very authentic experience, as the menu is in Italiano, but they have an English version you can download on your phone. We would go back!!

Peppo and his entire staff welcomed me with exceptional warmth and care, the service was impeccable, the space is inviting, and the food was, oh, so good! I had the traditional Roman chicory and the pizza special with eggplant, red and yellow grape tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil. A very special "Thank you!" goes to Alam, the master at the oven, who made my pizza. No doubt, I will be back again before I leave, and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Rome.

Pizza special of the day tomato sauce two types of cheese mozzarella pecorino eggplant mushrooms and tomatoes!

Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

We shared the fried calamari and anchovy appetizer, which tasted fresh. I had the lasagna and it was excellent. My wife got the ravioli and really liked it she said it was a unique and tasty dish. For dessert we shared the Crème Catalana. The server brought it out and torched the sugar right at the table, which was fun to watch and tasted perfect. Great food and genuinely exceptional service. Would definitely return.

This shop is more of a countertop order from their limited menu but the menu is executed so well you'll be tempted to order multiple bowls. There are a few stools and table out front to enjoy your food hot. Both times I've been on separate visits within two years, has only shown me how consistent their food and quality is. You can pair your dishes with an aperol spritz or mini bottle of wine for less than five euros. The pasta was about nine to eleven euros and the portions were more than plenty. The chef and owner are super nice and very informative about their dishes. If you are a fan of spice you have to try their chef-recommended dish. They had one dish topped with pancetta and I just about wanted to lick my bowl clean. Everyone in the group was raving how delicious it was. Egg will forever be on my must-have when visiting Rome.

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.
