A beautiful family owned and run authentic italian restaurant tucked in Trastevere. We came TWICE on our trip and cannot even put into words how delicious everything was. The ambience was delightful with the most incredible staff. Chef came to our table several times and everyone was so attentive. I have never in my life had an experience like this. Everything was beyond amazing and cannot recommend enough read more

Ripa 12 - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

The dishes here are fantastic! I have personally tried five of them. Seafood risotto, seafood spaghetti with eggplant, pasta with vegetables and the sea bass. The desserts are fantastic. Not exaggerating. Go there. Mangia! read more

Seafood lasagna was not good. It was pasta not lasagna. The oxtail was delicious although you don't get much meat

We came across this gem online and decided to stop here before going to the airport. We are so very happy we did! On our way, we each received a 60 dollar ticket for not knowing to "validate" our bus ticket, and this place instantly lifted our spirits. The restaurant is in the middle of a beautiful, foodie neighborhood. The space has AC(rare for Rome), plugs for our phones, cold drinks(also a rarity), counters and stools to eat by, space for our bags, good music but best of all, we had a awesome and accommodating chef Ken! Chill and welcoming vibe all around! He made us feel right at home and was smiling and patient with our ordering. It was a welcome break from all the italian food we had been filling our bellies with. The food was top notch and authentic, from the nachos, the burritos, and the tacos. We did the Pico nachos, all of the tacos(al pastor yum) and the huge burrito. The homemade salsas were an awesome touch as well and some were spicy in just the perfect way! There is an area to stand outside and drink a beer and a bathroom that is accessible. Perfect spot to eat, conversate, and wait out some time before your next travel. read more

Excellent find. We haven't picked restaurants that well in Rome. This was so good, if we were going to be here longer we would go back. This is a seafood restaurant. The table of business folks next to us, had amazing dishes. Our lunch was good too. I picked the pecorino and pepper pasta, had to try it in Rome. I also had a delicious plate of roasted ridichio. My husband had the clams and pasta, really good. We started with a fabulous plate of tuna tartare, so simply plated and excellent. The service was really friendly and good. One of the better restaurants we have tried. Our travel rule is to follow the business suits into restaurants, works every time, they know the good spots. read more

The food was just fine the service was abominable. I requested bread several time but never got it, even know we were charged for it at the end, with some other unrecognizable charge, we waited to pay the bill 25 minute after the end of our meal all and all that made the all experience exasperating as we were exhausted and just wanted to retire to our room read more

The appetizer crudo alone is worth the walk across the Sisto into trastevere. Winding path gets you to Ripa12 - a Sardinian gem - that does pesce proud. Please get the crudo pictured below and thank me later. read more

Ripa 12 - Good bottle of falanghina goes great with this. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We were treated quite terribly this evening at the restaurant. To summarize, and then I'll provide more details, the food was so-so, the service was laughable, and the owner was a bit of a nightmare. Someone had recommended that we go to Ripa 12. We were very excited since it was just around the corner from where we are staying. The prices were high, but we figured it would be worth it. We came in after walking around for over 12 hours outside, on a 50 degree (F) day. By the time of our arrival it was even cooler outside. The front portion of the restaurant was nearly empty, except for a couple sitting at a 2 top. The waitress offered a table next to the door. I asked if there was anything else since it was cold. She pointed to a large table for 6, one that could be broken down into 2 2-tops or 1 2-top and 1 4-top. We agreed to the table and sat down. The owner of the restaurant, a heavy set short man, came to us, telling us to move to the table by the door in case he gets a big party. Please note that this table was a 5-top. Shortly after he said this, 2 more sets of couples came in, one sitting at the 5-too by the door and the other sitting a booth (a booth that we, mind you, were not offered, and sits 4 people). The owner continued to insist that we move. I explained that i would be too cold. He told me that the restaurant is fine and i wouldn't be cold. I was cold throughout the entire meal because people continued to come in and out of the restaurant, and while we weren't next to the door, we were still close. Finally, after about 20 mins or so, he comes over to take our order. I was prepared to walk out, but thought i should give this restaurant a second chance. We ordered bucatini pasta, the grilled tuna, and the lamb. The pasta was okay, not much better than i would make in my own kitchen, to be perfectly honest. The tuna looked and tasted bland and boring. The lamb was mainly bones and fat, was overocoked, and barely had any flavor. The potatoes were oddly soaked in olive oil. The food was not very good. The pizza joint across the street is a much better dining experience all around. Check that out inside. Anyway, the humiliation happened when the owner proceeded to speak poorly about myself and my husband to 2 different tables. Shortly after we had ordered, a 3-too came in, and he yelled to the waitress, "Vedi!", implying that he was correct that we should not sit where we were comfortable sitting. He then proceeded to speak poorly about us, in Italian, to this table and then again to another table of 4. Little did he know that, while i don't speak much Italian, i understand quite a bit. I also understand body language, and if you are using hand gestures and eye movements to indicate to a table that you are speaking poorly of us, then the table turns over to look at us, you, sir, are truly awful at customer service. I've spent too many years in the customer service industry to sit back and agree with this type of treatment from a restaurant owner. When the table of 4 walked in, they had suggested a very simple solution: pulling the 4-top separate from our 2-top, so they could enjoy their meal, and we could pretend to enjoy our's. It seemed to work out nicely for them. As you can tell, i do not recommend this restaurant, nor will i be returning. read more

Do not waste your time coming to this establishment. 1-The menu on the wall is elegant and inviting, while the menu given to the customers at the table are cheap, printed out on computer paper at home in black and white. Does not give a good first impression. Shows lack of care and attention to detail. Especially since everything on the menu was expensive. 2-the restaurant manager/the waitresses were too busy talking with obviously regular customers of the restaurant on the patio and totally ignoring the other customers at the tables. It honestly felt like it was a burden for them to serve our tables. They seemed to have a very poor attitude that reflected in their service. 3-Finally to the food. Two individuals at my table ordered dishes with "Prawns". In general, prawns are known as a large variety of shrimp. What came out in these dishes was a pathetic excuse for a prawn or even a normal size shrimp for that matter. From one end to the other was about an inch long. Super Tiny! Also, one of those dishes was supposed to be rissotto with saffron and prawns. The rissotto barely had any saffron in it other than to color the dish and was not creamy at all. Basically just rice that resembled what you would get from an instant rice package like Zattorans or Ready Rice. No one was happy with their meal. When the restaurant manager was addressed with the concerns, they did not take any responsibility or ownership of the quality of the food and ignored the issue and dissatisfaction of the customers. They made no effort to rectify anything and charged fully for all items ordered. Unless you want bad service, bad food, and high prices, please DO NOT eat at Ripa 12 in Trastevere Rome. read more

Went in for dinner Sunday, they have actually moved to Via della Pelliccia, 27; were busy with a large order but were very helpful and considerate of the us having to wait. The chicken tinga burrito was excellent, fresh ingredients and good flavor, diverse menu. read more

The food is actually pretty good. As a San Diegan I can be a real taco snob but Picos is one of the best taquerias I've seen in Rome so far. It is a little pricey (7 euro for three small tacos / 1 burrito) and the space is very small. Taco Tuesday is always packed and their 'deal' is that they throw in a Corona for no extra charge, which is nice, but it's noting like the dollar tacos back home. I recommend this place if you're looking for a mxn fix. read more

Quick & delicious :-) Workers were very nice and food came out quickly. 3 tacos for €8 is a steal for how good they were! Definitely going back! read more

Awesome Mexican food in Trastevere. Chef is very good and friendly. Big and filling burrito. Tacos are fantastic highly recommend the shrimp or barbacoa read more

We came to this restaurant upon a recommendation from our driver. After a long day touring the Vatican and the nearby sights in Rome, we were looking forward to eating a nice dinner and having a lovely experience. Unfortunately we were met with the opposite. Upon entering, the restaurant had plenty of available seating. However we were asked to sit by the tables near the door. My wife is 5 months pregnant and she had been traveling to get to Rome for 15+ hours and we had been on our feet in the cold weather for nearly 10 hours today only. Moreover, there were many smokers outside of the door, and it is highly dangerous for a pregnant woman to be exposed to second-hand smoke. We requested to sit away from the door and the waitress kindly accommodated us. Suddenly a brutish man spoke fast and unintelligible Italian to me asking me to sit by the door. I tried to explain to him that my wife does not want to be cold. He made a lot of noise how us sitting where we are was such an inconvenience for him because he was expecting a busy night, but seemed to grant us our request to sit where we are. Then he came later and spoke to us disrespectfully, saying he thought there were three of us and not two and that we should sit by the window. My wife spoke up and said she didn't want to feel cold by the window and he proceeded to deny that it was cold, a subjective experience that he has NO right to dictate. Mind you, after we were sitting another couple was seated at a booth, and they certainly were not being told to sit by the door. From then onward, the servers seemed to intentionally ignore us. They took forever to take our order, to bring us more water (which they charge 2 Euros per bottle of cold tap water), and to give us the check. I will say the servers were not the main problem, it was the man who was managing and being so disrespect for us. It would be one thing if the food was outstanding, but my tuna had no flavor (the manager recommended that to me - it must be old and bad fish they were trying to get rid of) and my wife's lamb was overcooked. We wish the restaurant across the street had been opened, we would have preferred to go there since we had such a pleasant experience there the previous night. Not only is the food overpriced and bad, but the manager of this place treated us terribly. He spent the majority of his time Brown-nosing his regulars and talking trash about us to them in Italian in front of us. What a jerk. I believe in karma and I hope he gets the repercussions of his negative energy. He might also be racist and that is why he treated us poorly. This was my first time in Rome and this was my only negative experience in Rome thus far. The bottom line is to stay away from this terrible restaurant with awful food and an even worse manager. read more

Went to this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. Service was adequate, we asked that the chef choose a 3 Course meal with wine pairing, which they seemed pleased by. Appetizer of 4 different raw/cured fish was excellent. We were looking forward to the next courses. Primi arrived, a clam vongole and a squid ink manicotti with braised red cabbage. The vongole was nearly inedible as it was so salty. The manicotti was underdone, tough, and did not work at all with the cabbage. We decided to let this go (the taglietelle with the clams was perfect but for the salt) and hope the next course would be more like the appetizer. Staff made no inquiry about our partially eaten course. Then a sea bass in a sauce that was unidentifiable other than the overwhelming taste of salt was served. No sides, no garnish, nothing. After a few bites we deemed it inedible. 10 minutes later we managed to flag down our waitress to explain the problem. She said "ok" then left the table. She did not remove the plates, we waited 15 minutes (and 2 more glasses of wine), and when nothing happened and our nearly uneaten plates sat in front of us, I asked for the bill. The same waitress brought us the bill - they charged us for everything, no apology or comment. Unless you only want an excellent raw appetizer, avoid. read more
