Cuisine worthy of a Michelin star or two, including one of the best grilled Iberico pork entree I have ever tasted, perfectly cooked turbot, delicious pasta and steak tartare, and even yummy home cured almonds and olives. Perfect service and a beautiful romantic ambience too. Expensive, but worth every penny. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Impeccably designed interiors, patio garden, and menu! I always recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Rome. Can't wait to visit their new Trastevere location! read more

We were speaking to some fellow travelers at breakfast and they shared the name of this new Roman food experience. We saw the pictures and immediately made a reservation for lunch. The menu is very diverse and creative. The open kitchen provides a dinner and show experience. Each dish was beautifully composed however a few areas need improvement. Our pastas courses looked beautiful yet the salt level was extreme which made it not enjoyable. The Mediterranean Sushi dish was very good however the rice was lacking the perfection one would expect. Veal Fillet was perfect !! The focaccia with Burrata and Anchovies was amazing !! Overall this was a great meal !! We will defintely return !! read more

This place is so cute and we're so glad we went! We were going to get seated where all the tables were, but we opted to sit at the counter. We're so happy we did because it was so fun watching the chefs cook! It was also nice because we got to see all the excitement in the kitchen. They all work so well together and it's amazing the details that go into plating each dish - makes me want to be a chef! Since the mister and I don't have big tummies to eat as much as we want, we didn't get to try too much, but all the things we picked were delish! We started with a simple mixed green salad with pink lady apples, honey and pistachios - so refreshing and lovely. Obviously we had to get pasta, so we got the smoked spaghetti and have never tasted anything like it, and loved it! I was a bit apprehensive when it came to ordering the veal and tuna, but I'm so glad we did because that was my favorite! To end on a beautiful note, we had the best tiramisu! From the food to the decor, we loved everything! read more

This is the me of the best meals I have ever eaten. The food is immaculate, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere gorgeous. It was the only place I went two twice on my 5 day trip to Rome. The tiramisu is a must get (best I've ever had) and you have to have the zibibo dessert wine with it (or anything the sommelier recommends - he's awesome!) Best of all, if you stick to cheeped items you can easily eat for €50 per person, including a glass or two of wine each, which is a steal for this experience! read more

I've died and gone to heaven! We shared both the meat and cheese platters, which was honestly kind of a lot- probably should have just stuck to one, but they were AMAZING! The pasta was absolutely phenomenal, so packed with flavor! I ordered the spaghettini, which was definitely a great option. Highly recommend- this is the mind blowing pasta I wanted from my visit to Italy!! read more

My experience at Pianostrada was the best of our Roman trip. From the décor to the service and the food, everything felt authentic, all dishes we tried were tasty and seating at the bar to watch a all women team make pastas all night was the cherry on top. I spent my last two night watching those women cook 4 different plates of pasta. My favorite was the ravioli, simply amazing but everything else was almost just has perfect! The focaccia Bianca as an appetizer was devine. Their Sauvignon blanc is fresh and fruity, I recommend. Extra points for a great Espresso Martini and inventive desserts! Best food in Rome for me! Classic with a twist and strong taste which was rare to find really as Rome food is quite subtle and light in flavors. Love Clém read more

I had read about this place on yelp, but they have since moved from Trastevere to over the bridge where now it's a sit-down restaurant with service. We liked this place so much when we visited for lunch that we decided to have dinner here on our last night in Rome. The place is great they have a set menu which includes delicious focaccia- highly recommend (and all of their bread is homemade), and a street food section with paninis. Then they have a main dish menu which tends to change every few days. We ordered the focaccia with prosciutto and fig compote - incredible! And as a main dish I had the spaghetti vongole - also really great. We sat outside in the garden which was nice and romantic. They also have an area inside where you can sit at the bar and see them prepping food which looked really fun. The atmosphere and food in this place is just fantastic recommend to anyone who wants a local sense of Rome! Also try their cocktails and beers really great! read more

LOVED the food and just one thing; it's definitely more expensive than almost all other places in this area. That been said, would I recommend this? YASSSS! This is perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch, as it's a tiny tiny bar and seating is limited. You can drop yourself at the bar, probably squeezing in between two others, but no worries - it's designed that way. Therefore, great place to go to by yourself. They have a few high tables and seating for 2- / 4-people, but prepare yourself to eat elbow-to-elbow. Food is fan-tas-tic. They have SUCH an extensive menu! And it doesn't matter what you get; all focacce is amazing (they make it themselves), pasta is great, for dessert: go for the panna cotta. Yes, it's definitely not cheap, but it's absolutely NOT unreasonable. Food. Is. Homemade. And. Awesome. read more

Wow, so happy to discover this fun wine bar. We are staying in the Pantheon neighborhood and have had bad luck with food. The Trastevere area is so fun and the restaurants are better. We had two focaccia treats last night, the prosciutto and fig was my favorite. The nice ladies working there recommended the good wines we had. Really nice spot, hopefully will get back there this week. read more

Landed here by accident but one of our better Roman meals over the years. Il tortino di piano strada was a grilled eggplant dish that was very tasty. I had agnello and colto letto polpottine or lamb and beef meatballs which presented in an inviting way with an excellent sauce. Highly recommend. read more

The best place to eat in Trastevere hands down. This small and packed panini shop is the freshest, most delicious food around. Not to mention run by some of the toughest girls in the business. The small shop is decked out in feminist quotes and the women behind the counter demand your respect. You must try their focaccia on top of getting a panini. After trying many of the panini, the pane mare is my favorite by far. The fish is perfectly light, and the bread is the most amazing consistency. A must! read more

We stopped in for lunch after a long morning of wandering the streets of Rome. Pianostrada has outdoor seating in a lovely heated interior garden, so we were able to enjoy our meal outside in February. Our table also allowed us to see into the kitchen to watch the chefs at work. This lunch was one of the more memorable meals we enjoyed in Rome. Pianostrada has delicious, creative sandwiches with incredible fresh ingredients. I had "The Sandwich" with mortadella, pecorino and a delicious pistachio cream which added a unique flavor. They also had great service and an extensive wine list. read more

Everything about this place is perfection. The food is beyond (aubergine pie was the greatest), the staff was so wonderful (I've read some negative reviews but that was not my experience. I can see how someone might be a little insecure and perceive the staff as being snotty, but IMO they are not.), the LOCATION is really cool. It is down a little alley, almost tucked away. The neighborhood is the Jewish Quarter, and just over the Tiber is a super young, bohemian neighborhood. If I ever moved to Rome, I'd live here! read more

WONDERFUL experience!! The "Sandwich" with mortadella, pecorino, pistachio cream, and arugula is out of this world. It comes on bread baked fresh in the restaurant; it is unique and so incredible. The decor is so quaint and eclectic, with fresh flowers on each table. The pizzele are small but the sauce is so good. As a starter we got a variety of breads, we didn't like two of them but they were very fresh. We just got water but the wine list was extensive. We did not need a reservation at 1PM on a Tuesday but it did fill up in there pretty quickly. Absolutely recommend! read more

So, I came here on a Saturday night after attending (and pigging out at) a food fest by the soccer stadium. Don't look at me that way! I was still working off the trauma of being terrorized in Florence. I'm an emotional eater. Lucky for me, I have chef friends in Rome who know where to go and when. So even though we were full, the night was young and we wanted to go to where the people were. So, we came to PL -- and we saw all the people. Much like many places in Rome, PL is small (or, maybe Americans are just large. It could be a combo). You get in where you fit in. Again, lucky for me I was with a regular who was in the industry. After my buddy sweet talked one of the ladies, magically, two chairs appeared alongside the wall. I don't recall seeing many tables. People posted up on the periphery of the restaurant and ordered wonderful things to eat -- either from a menu or from looking up to see what was written on the wall. I believe a mother-daughter combo of some sort is in charge of the goodness. If not a mother-daughter combo, it's definitely an all female affair. If that sort of thing gets your motor running, there you go. The placed was packed - ass to elbows from the door to the back of the build out. PL is popular and there's a reason for that. Despite being full, it's rude to go to a restaurant (especially one run by a friend) and not pig out. That meant that fourth meal was in full effect. Don't worry; I'm an American. I'm well-versed in the fourth meal. Starting off with white wine (watching our figures, natch) we settled in to a ragu (atop spaghetti), foccacia, prosciutto, and one of the biggest (and most decadent) burgers I've ever had. I was in physical pain by the time I huffed and puffed to get to the end of my meal. I was also falling asleep (remember I'd just escaped from Florence and had only enjoyed a quick nap in 36+ hours). But the food was so good, the company was great and I didn't want to miss a second of the scene I found myself in. Plus, you know, bottleS of wine.* By the time we were done, had talked shop and kiss kissed two of the proprietors, we were back on the streets of Trastevere to see what other foolishness the cool kids were up to. Have I mentioned that I really like Rome? *How many times must I tell you: when in Rome... read more

My husband and I could literally see the entrance to this place from our apartment and totally ignored it the whole week until our next-to-last day when we finally realized there was always a line outside when it opened at lunchtime. OMG, I am SO glad that we fixed that mistake and decided to go! This place is an amazing gem tucked away on a quiet corner in the heart of Trastevere. We liked it so much that we went back again the next day to make it our final meal in Rome. First of all, you have to get a foccacia - No. Matter. What. It's worth it. Just do it. We stuck to sandwiches while there, but they do have other items on the menu. All of the ingredients are incredibly fresh, down to the bread that they make daily. The two standouts of the 4 we tried were the Pane Mare and the Pane Alici del Cantabria. The Pane Prosciutto Mangalitza was also super yummy as well. We tried their E Poi salad and their special tiramisu - both good, but the sandwiches and bread are really the stars at this place. Great wine and beer selection as well to bring the whole meal together. read more

Newly opened May 2014. A dynamic young all female staff of bakers, chefs, and cooks striving to provide excellent fresh breads and deserts. Focus is on sandwiches (many less conventional by Roman standards) but also features one of two main courses. Mostly a quick service and take away restaurant. Great locals hangout with a contemporary vibe... A refreshing feel in Roman restaurants which are often conservative and predictable (even while remaining frequently excellent). Brava! read more

Stopped in here the other day while exploring the other side of the river and what a delight! Very charming place. Owned by two sisters and they even had their dogs at the restaurant walking in and out. Really felt like we went over to their house for lunch. The two sisters were wonderful in fixing my wife and I a fabulous meal based on our tastes. They made me a sandwich that was delicious and my wife a pasta dish with nuts that she absolutely loved. A cute charming small place well worth a stop when you are across the river. read more

One of the best in Rome... A hidden gem! Sit at the counter for a culinary experience.

The best meal and one of my best memory in Italy. In this small and cosy place, you can watch cooks prepare your food with great ingredients. The owner was kind enough to traduce and explain the giant menu and what our different options were. We let her surprise us and were delighted by the result : delicious wine, succulent sandwiches and appetizers, amazing dessert... I wish I could give 6 stars! My advice: come a little bit early if you don't want to wait as it's really small and seat at the bar to watch what is a great live cooking show. read more

The food is wonderful. Since being in Rome, I've dined here twice in 3 days. This time, I ordered a dessert I wasn't fond of. I asked the server if I could switch it out for another dessert at no charge. He said yes, that it was not a problem. Another waiter comes by and takes my new dessert order. At the end of the meal they bring me my check with both desserts on it. I bring it to the third waiters attention (since we had 3 waiters it seemed). She said she'd check. She came back and rudely told me she wouldn't remove it since we ate it. I explained I had one bite of the first dessert and then I explained my conversation with the other waiter regarding switching the desserts at no charge. She said she'd go talk to him. One of the other waiters then came over and said he never said that. I told him I understood , it was the other waiter. He went to talk to the female waitress. She came over and told me they wouldn't remove the charge, I was lying about the whole thing and "that was that" and walked away. All of this after my card had been charged. Management wouldn't come and speak to me either. Terrible service. So basically I was told by a staff member I could switch desserts since I didn't eat the first one at no charge, but then was charged for both and called a liar. The WORST customer service. As a business owner, I'd never treat patrons like this. Horrible experience. . They should be ashamed to treat patrons this way. Especially since the first meal I spent $86 by myself and on the second meal, over $100 with my significant other and I. I'll never be back. read more

The ravioli here will make you weep with ecstasy. Foccacia is a highlight - light & airy bread with crispy bottom and delicious toppings like gorgonzola, pear, pine nuts and cinnamon or buffalo mozzarella, zucchini blossoms, anchovies and arugula. Superb! The kitchen appears to be larger than the sitting area for very eager diners. You can get order meat dishes, vegetarian, fish - this place is amazing! Be warned, opens for dinner at 7:30, and no seats available by 7:31!!! read more

This was one of the cutest, most romantic outdoor garden spaces I've had the pleasure of dining in. We didn't have reservations but at 7PM on a Sun, they let us have a table for 2 hours and we savored every moment of it. The specials menu was not in English but our server was nice enough to patiently translate for us. The special carpaccio of the day was one of the best things I've ever tasted: bright, refreshing, and delicate. The Peace salad was also delicious & refreshing (although we would have preferred more greens and less turkey, but we may be in the minority on that). The homemade pasta was fresh and cooked to near perfection, although the sauce was a little too rich. My friend found her pasta dish (I think it was a lemon linguine) overwhelming and heavy halfway through (so I helped finish her dish) but she really enjoyed it at first. I loved my dish (octopus linguine) and felt the same way but still still enjoyed every last bite. We joked about how we are American and wouldn't use the full 2 hours allotted, but we shared a bottle of wine and appreciated the entire time slot. :-) read more

I should have written this in Sept. 2014 when I was there but a pal asked me for a couple places to go for food so this is my one contribution for Roma. This restaurant is small inside with limited seating but the women who cook here create the best stuff I tasted in Rome. I noticed it from the outside with all the fresh herbs growing in the planters outside.....that was my first clue. Anyway, they marry a lot of flavors well in the concoctions they come up with. read more

Waited a long time for a seat. As a solo diner, I kept getting bumped by larger groups. Given that it's really bar seating, this is a very unfriendly seating policy. Finally I complained and they decided to ask two people newly seated if they would give up their seat for me. Didn't make me feel very good that they unseated two people. A fair seating policy should have allowed me to sit first as I was there first (its not like I was taking a table of 4). Based on their seating policy, I would never be seated unless a single showed up or unless I was the only person waiting. Not very likely. So I walked out. Maybe I will be brave and try again. This is a place that should cater to solo diners not make them feel they would only get seated if there was nobody in line. Came back, welcomed, food great. Still need to sort out seating criteria. read more
