    Gorgonzola gnocchi
    Diana S.

    This restaurant is small but it was my favorite dinner during our entire stay in Rome. The waitress/owner? serves every table in the whole restaurant. The food was MAGNIFICENT. I had the Gorgonzola gnocchi and I've been dreaming about it since we left. Also, some delicious house made bread, zucchini flowers, and the ravioli. Go early or make reservations. It's small, quaint, and lovely. Yum!! Will definitely go back next time I return to Rome.

    Delicious homemade Tiramisu!

    This small cozy restaurant is a gem not to be missed! The quality of the food and value is hard to beat, where chef/owner Gabriele and his lovely wife Simona running the front of the house, perform their magic! Best homemade pasta tossed with fresh porcini mushrooms and fresh black truffles sliced at tableside is a dish to die for it! The specialty of the house is truffles as well as risotto, ravioli, spaghetti, fish, and seafood. Continue this great job, can't wait to return. Grazie Mile!

    We've only been once and it was great. It's a small place on a very unassuming street (though that seems to be most of Rome). It's known for its truffle dishes. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining. We got there when it first opened for the night so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. Then again, I think it's a family restaurant and the "staff" was a brother/sister combo. This place was highly recommended based on their truffle dishes. They use both the oil and fresh truffles, which they grate directly onto your plate. And they're not cheap with it either. The pasta dishes were great - the pasta was al dente and the sauces were well flavored. They gave good portions - enough to be full but not stuffed. I also had the shrimp/prawns in an orange sauce, which was simply delicious. It was a sweeter sauce and this one had no truffle oil or fresh truffle but I still loved it.

    The owner walked us out to make sure we got a cab!! How awesome is she!

    If you want an authentic, Italian meal in Rome, Pietro Valentini is the place to go!!! The owner greeted us as if we were family when we got there, the decor of the restaurant felt like we were eating in her living room, super cozy and comfy!!! Husband is the chef, and this is the third generation of the restaurant in the family and it shows. They're willing to please and substitute anything on the menu if necessary. The zucchini florets are too die for as is the bread basket! We all got pastas and it was so fresh, deliciously homemade and I would go back again tonight but they're closed on Sunday's. Please don't pass this one up!!!!!

    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.

Already depressed knowing we were returning to the cold and fearful Minneapolis, we spent the day packing and wandering Prati. After drowning our sorrows at a few cocktail emporiums in the early evening, we walked into Su e Giu without a reservation close to 9:30. The two guys working the front showed us to a table, and we proceeded to have a perfect last night meal. Our appetizers and pastas were great, service was friendly, and I spent time reflecting on how wonderful Rome is, rather than thinking about our return to the fractured States. Su e Giu Cucina Romana is the perfect Roman restaurant to feel La Dolce Vita. It is a sweet life indeed.

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.

Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
