Popi Popi might actually be the best pizza in Rome, and yes, I know that's a dangerous sentence but I'll die on this hill I think. I load my pizza with every veggie and every cheese they'll let me have. This ambiance is unfussy and radiates the energy of we don't need to impress you, the pizza will do that. Carb load day. Goooooo! The owner was working as hard as the employees and I appreciate that lead by example service! read more

Delicious dinner and terrific service; this was the perfect choice as we adjusted to Rome after our travels. Sitting outside on a beautiful September evening added to the charm. We started with wine and espresso to get our bearings, moved into a fresh caprese, and then enjoyed mains of pasta and chicken breast with arugula. Each dish was tasty (the caprese was my favorite--the fresh mozzarella was a marvel) and the service made the evening sing. If we lived nearby, I imagine we'd quickly become regulars, and my review would be an easy five stars. read more

There was nothing special about this pizza. We got it for take away because they were about to close and ate it outside. It was average, and the peppers on the pizza were not very good. The margarita pizza was better than the one with sausage and peppers. It filled our stomachs, but nothing more! read more

We got the house wine pitcher (definitely a good amount more than necessary). We also enjoyed bruschetta and ravioli with pomodoro. Very yummy, service was exceptional. 34€ in total. We had a very nice time. read more

Stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. My husband and I got here while wondering the streets of Rome & stopped for an early dinner. The portions were great & left us full. Although there is always room for dessert & we indulged in the pana cotta and tiramisu. The pana cotta lacked flavor & the tiramisu fell a bit short for me. read more

Popi Popi was recommended to me and my friends by a professor at Padova University, while taking a train from Milano to Venezia. He told us he grew up in Roma, and Popi Popi was one of his favorite restaurants. On the strength of his recommendation, we visited, and it did not disappoint. The carciofi alla giudia was incredible, the cacio e pepe absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu was the best I've ever had. We ended up going twice (carbonara was just as good). I've since recommended Popi Popi to every friend I know when they say they're going to Roma. read more

I was recommended this restaurant by our air bnb host and it did not disappoint. The waiter was super friendly from the get-go and gave us his personal recommendations. The pasta was really tasty, but leans towards the saltier side. However the tiramisu was out of this world and I would recommend it to anyone that comes here!! So decadent, but not heavy by any means! read more

Service was great and food was delicious! So glad we went there..great wine selections and classic roman cuisine

My family took our tour guide's recommendation for dinner and POPI POPI was fabulous! The food was so delicious and our waiter was very engaging. Getting to people watch in the Trastevere neighborhood was an added bonus during our outdoor seating. read more

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara was absurdly salty. Hands down my least favorite meal in Italy. Very heavy.

The best restaurant in all of Italy, in my opinion! Such a warm atmosphere with friendly staff and amazing food. Must haves are the stuffed zucchini flowers, the carbonara, and the tiramisu! Travelled all over Italy, eating my way through all the major cities, and I could not stop comparing everything I had to the food I ate at Popi Popi! I hope to make it back to Italy in the near future, and you can bet Popi Popi will be one of the first stops I make! read more

Sooo good. Last night in Rome and we were lucky to walk upon this place. We all agreed it was the best meal of the four nights here. Red sauce was the best, we had it with ravioli. But cream pastas were also really good, with fettuccine popi popi and tortellini soo good, and carbonara really good. I e would for sure come back here. read more

Family diner at Popi Popi : 3 pizza, 1 calzone, 1 crustini, mozarellini. Good italian food. Missing local draft beer and wine per glass.

Great atmosphere, super local. We were the only ones speaking English in the restaurant, but luckily the staff speaks English which is great. However, you cannot split the bill on cards. The service was great, as was the food. We got bruschetta al pomodoro to start which had an interesting twist with celery added to it. As my main dish I got spaghetti con vongole, it was ok not the best thing on the menu. My other two friends got the popi popi pizza which was amazing, I highly recommend, and the trippa alla romana which I didn't try but looked very delicious. The prices were reasonable for the dishes that we got. read more

Horrible service. Sat at a table for 25 minutes as the waiter continued to walk by without taking our order. Acted like a big jerk when I asked him if we could order. Just walked off and took care of his Italian customers. We got up and left. Don't go here, especially if you are not Italian. read more

One of the best meals I had in Rome and for the most reasonable price ever. Probably didn't spend over €40. I had a custom arugula salad (BEST ARUGULA I HAVE EVER HAD) with cherry tomatoes and some balsamic/olive oil. Not even exaggerating it was amazing, the peppery arugula and fresh tomatoes were a perfect match. Their mussels were somethin' else too...mussels are usually super "meh" for me, but I saw a bunch of people eating them and started to crave them. Best choice ever, I've never had mussels so good, for something so cheap in the world of seafood, they made it taste like a million bucks. They were so fresh, cooked to perfection and the broth was mouthwatering. Dipped some of their fresh bread in it...drool worthy! Had a Margherita pizza here too that was seeeeriously good. Our waiter was super nice and we didn't feel like we were being taken advantage of at all. He brought out some complimentary limoncello for us, and was super pleasant. The ambiance was also awesome, the seating area was right in front (or back) of a beautiful old church. Definitely a local gem, will certainly be back whenever I'm in Rome again. read more

We were looking for a spot to eat, and found Popi Popi. We had the fried zucchini, fried mozzarella, bruschetta and mushroom crostini to start. Everything was better than the next. The pasta - cacio pepe and arrabiata were so delicious, we came back two days later! read more

Service and food was excellent! I highly recommend the pizza, any one, and the ravioli with spinach and ricotta.

A nice and authentic restaurant with a great lively atmosphere. The food is so great, especially their risotto, pasta and calzoni. The waiters are happy and charming which makes a dinner here just lovely! read more

The sauté mussels truly surprised me. They were so fresh and juicy, but not too salty. Also try the popi popi pasta. Very creamy and fresh. The best ever! I would skip the steak. It was cut too thin that easily got over cooked (that's where they loose the one star). read more

This is the locals favourite Roman pizza joint. Fresh, delicious and great price. Most tourist books will tell you IVO Pizzeria across the street. I've had both and this is by far the better. Eat in or to go. read more

!!!!!WARNING!!!!!! !!!!!WARNING!!!!!! Charging a fee for "coperto" in Rome, is illegal. Pane(bread) is charged at about $2-$4 Unless you REALLY REALLY are hell bent on some crappy, tasteless bread, I strongly recommend you let the waiter know you DO NOT want bread, and make sure you will be not charged for coperto. My girlfriend and I ate here. On our trip to Italy, we learned ALOT. To Italian merchants, tourists are prey from which they can extract an extra 2€ or more. If you do not speak Italian well and are not a local, I can pretty much guarantee you will be thrown some bread on the table and charged for it, or, be charged an illegal "coperto" fee on your check. Also, make sure you get your change back. Italians do not leave tips. That is how the system works in Italy. They pay exact amount of the check and get all their change back, and the workers wages are based off no tips. Remember, in Italy there is no tax after the price listed. The price you see is the price you pay. In Italy, locals DO NOT leave a tip and neither should you, even if you are from a country accustomed to leaving a tip in your home country. This is how the system works in Italy, NO TIP. Their wages are based on their pay and that's it. DO NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I'm telling you, if you leave a tip, in their mind, the restaurant is silently smirking in their mind thinking "he he! Thanks for the extra 2 Euros sucker!!" In Italy, be just like the locals; eat some easy to make at home, pizza or pasta, see the price on the menu, add up the exact amount shown on the menu prices(hopefully they don't give you a different menu with "tourist prices") pay ONLY the exact amount, get your change, and leave NO TIP. Don't let them swindle you for your 2€-4€ out of pride and principle. Obviously, my girlfriend and I never returned here. Perhaps yelp can put a little bit of balance into the giant scamming and swindling of tourists that come here. It seems ALL restaurants in Rome treat locals one way, but try to rip off tourists. I'm sure not all, but it sure as hell seems like it. Food wasn't all that either. Don't understand what the big deal for Italian food is. My girlfriend and I love "ethnic" foods, and thus far, their pizza and pasta in Italy has got NOTHING on Mexican, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, food in Los Angeles. Sorry Italianos. read more

Service and food were excellent! This was honestly one of the best meals we had in Rome, and at a very reasonable price. Wine options were good (the house wine was a very good choice for us!), and the pizza was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend! read more

This was the best meal I ate in Rome during my time studying abroad here! The pasta is extremely fresh and the pizza was delicious! I ordered a pasta dish with mushrooms and the "Popi Popi" pizza and both were incredible. Amazing, authentic Italian food for a great price. read more

Very nice setting. OK food. Poor service. We ordered three entrees an appetizer and a couple of glasses of wine. We get it. You're not fans of your english speaking customers. I was already disappointed with the poor service we received during the meal but when I went in to pay for bill w card I got to experience the disdain shown for your foreign customers first hand. Here's a hint. Even if you don't like English speaking customers eating at your establishment show some level of customer service. A fake smile goes a long way when someone is paying the bill. read more

"HOLY DANG HECK" is what I legitimately said after taking a bite of tiramisu here. I ordered the risotto which is misleading, or maybe I just don't understand that "cream of shrimp" means no actual shrimp, so I just got a pile of creamy rice that I didn't know what to do with. Not taking away any stars just because I ordered wrong - my family ordered pizzas which had amazingly delicious thin crust that melts in your mouth, interesting toppings and pretty large portions. No tap water so you will pay for each bottle in the hot summer sun (suspicious emoji). It's in a cool neighborhood - eat a later dinner and ask to sit outside. GET THE TIRAMISU oh my god you may never have a better one and you're in Rome on vacation (probably) so just order the damn dessert. read more

Everytime I come to Roma I stay in Trastevere and this is the spot I always go to on my first night in! Ive had numerous dished on their menu and their pizza is simply the most fresh and delicious pizza! The staff was very kind and attentive and we always enjoy our evenings spent here! read more

Terrible rude service. We sat for 20 min without service. Maybe food is good who knows--the staff was so rude we left.

Great pricing, great service, and good food! This place had some amazing food, and was in a cute little area!

I had a recommendation from a Roman and I was so happy I listened!! We were a party of 5 with no reservations tonight and we were immediately seated. Great staff and service wonderful food-all 5 of us are experience travellers and picky! And the price was soooo reasonable! Quality and value wow will definitely return! read more

Perfect evening. The food was great, the atmosphere very authentic, the service extremely friendly. Did not give us the feeling of being in a tourist trap ... we were sitting among mainly Italians, all very relaxed. As I said, a perfect evening in Travestere. I will definitely come back. read more

When we sat as a family recounting our favorite Rome memories, this place was the hands down winner. We ate in Trastavere three times during our trip, but this was a place we stumbled upon trying to wander from the touristy area. We couldn't believe when we found this place, with tables spread across the street in the front of a church. Our waiter confessed his English wasn't good, but we didn't mind: this was a restaurant for locals, most tables were reserved, and we felt lucky to be a part of it. The combination of great food, wine, and the most charming ambiance possible made it unforgettable. read more

This became our go to restaurant while we were in Rome last month. The service was very good and the food imaginative and tasty.
