    Black truffles with fried egg. This was delicious!
    Rob D.

    The service was friendly with great recommendations. Go for the truffles: with fried egg, or on toast with cheese. Both were fantastic!

    I really love this place. We are staying at a small hotel off the beaten path near the Japanese Consulate. Mario's Reataurant is a very casual and basic Reataurant on a side street with very little traffic. Mario himself is unassuming and most things on his menu are in the 12-15 Euro range. This is not a hipster or date place. This is a simple neighborhood place to eat. Unpretentious and basic. Where the place excels is Mario. He is fun, talkative and the owner. We were walking by on a Thursday night and spike to him about his menu. We decided to come here for Friday dinner and were were NIT disappointed! I decided to not order from the menu. And simply told him we wanted an antipasto, pasta and meat. For the antipasto, we had quiche, mozzarella, sausages, tuna carpaccio, very nice bread, fried potatoes. Wow were these amazing. For the pasta, Mario suggested cheese ravioli and penne artichaud. This too was so darn good. His pasta was the perfect texture and al dente. We ended up choosing the t-bone for the meat and we were not disappointed at all. It was amazingly good and even though everyone was full from the pasta, they kept eating. Well, we all rolled home to bed so we can nap off our excesses! Best part is, we plan to try this place again tomorrow.

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

    10/10 across the board. Osteria da Fortunata is everything people say it is and more. I ordered the…read morecacio e pepe and OMG... hands down the best pasta I've ever had in my life. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
