The atmosphere is warm and welcoming,…read moreand the staff truly elevate the meal by offering samples throughout the evening and creating a friendly, lively mood. The food was AMAZING. My family and I started with the prosciutto and buffalo goat cheese served with oil and pepper, which was my favorite part of the entire meal. We also ordered a pretty good vegetable lasagna, a chicken dish with a delicious sauce, and two gnocchi dishes, including a carbonara-style one. Everything came out quickly, and there were unique items displayed around the restaurant that you could try and buy, which made the experience even more fun. We were so full from the appetizer that we only ate about half of the gnocchi. The owner noticed and kindly refunded those dishes, saying we should not pay for something we barely touched. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and left a huge impression on us. Overall, Masto is an amazing restaurant with fantastic food, quick service, and some of the kindest staff you will ever meet. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.

We arrived as soon as they opened, and the Chef was very friendly and offered some samples of cheese including his burrata, which was incredible! Everything we sampled was delicious! We felt so special because we were the only ones there when it opened and it felt like we had a personal chef! The blueberry risotto and pasta were worth the walk over here! Loved this place! The ambiance was incredible!

In Rome when my son's birthday was scheduled, so we got a personal recommendation from Katie Parla…read moreto try La Tavernaccia. It was a great recommendation. FOOD - Fresh, well-seasoned, tasty, enough so that everyone was stuffed by the time starters and entrees had come and gone ... and a couple of us still found room for excellent desserts. We had started with limoncello spritzes, which cooled us off nicely. A liter of the house red was perfect accompaniment for the food. SERVICE - We arrived almost a half-hour before our reservation time, and they didn't bat an eyelash. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, engaging, and attentive. Good job. AMBIANCE - Nice brick and stone interior, lending a sense of antiquities and class. NET-NET - I would come back here at the drop of a hat. It wasn't cheap, but more than worth it for what we got.

We first visited La Tavernaccia in October 2023 and loved it so much that we knew we had to return…read more This time, we came back to celebrate my husband's birthday and to enjoy our favorite dishes again--the Roasted Suckling Pig and the Spaghettoni all'uovo alla Gricia. Both were every bit as incredible as we remembered: the pasta rich and full of flavor with pecorino and guanciale, and the pig perfectly tender and juicy with that irresistible crispy skin. Yumm! We started with the Crostino N'Duja, which was rustic, spicy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also ordered a charcuterie plate. To finish, the lemon torte was bright, refreshing, and surprisingly, not too tart. It was exactly just the way we like it. Kevin's service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, which made the celebration feel even more special. We were given a couple of shots and a special cookie for my hub's birthday and after learning I am Filipino, he also offered us shots of his own special Ube liqueur. La Tavernaccia has truly become one of our favorite places in Rome, and we already can't wait to come back again to try something new that Kevin highly recommended - the Roasted Veal.

We sat outside because the house was full but we did observe that it is a place locals typically visit. The first dish was an appetizer containing topped off with various ingredients.

The steak was the highlight of our meal and cooked in an Italian way. It would seem that it is grilled and flavour with sea salt. Very tasty. The house salad was nothing special but we wanted something that offset the carbs and protein. Would love to visit again.

Osteria della Carne was an interesting discovery in Trastevere (Roma). It's a restaurant devoted…read moreto meat -- steaks, chops, etc. This is obvious from the moment you enter and see it's display case of meats, from which you will choose your main course. Dark wooden tables and chairs fill the dining room. Service was very good. Our Secondi (main course) was a Porterhouse Steak of Danish beef for four of us. While tasty, it was over cooked and grainy. The Antipasti and Primi were the highlights of this meal. Don't get me wrong. The meal was fine, but neither great nor extraordinary. Maybe I was expecting better based on the great Italian steak and chop houses in the United States.

We want to go back to try the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. Wine recs were spot on. We showed up without reservations an hour before closing and didn't leave until an hour after closing because we were having such a wonderful time chatting with the staff and other customers. Reservations are highly recommended especially on weekends and holidays. You can only make reservations by phone. It's a short walk from Ostiense Station and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We really wanted to leave a tip and there's a lowkey tip jar that is a chicken piggy bank by the cash register. Enjoy!
