They offer indoor and patio seating. Their appetizers like fresh cut prosciutto were delicious. We enjoyed our pasta dishes very much. Carbonara was good over rigatoni. The shrimp scampi risotto was the best we ever tasted. The service staff forgot the artichoke appetizer we ordered so it never arrived but the waiter was apologetic and very understanding once we inquired about it. Overall, this is a very good place to eat. Some dishes like the shrimp scampi risotto were world class dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First day in Rome and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We picked it because all the tables outside…read morewere full and it was a busy place inside. It was about a 10 minute wait for a table. The staff was friendly with limited English but we were able to order and have a little bit of conversation with our server. Complimentary olives (with the pits) are served. What we ordered: - Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe - great flavor was not heavily seasoned with pepper and noodles were al dente - Rigatoni alla carbonara - this is not like the American style but still had great flavor mostly from the guanciale, noodles also cooked al dente - Spaghetti con vongole veraci e carciofi Thin slices of artichoke with clams over spaghetti, really didn't have much flavor With so many restaurants in Rome to try, I probably would not return but it was a nice place to stumble upon

Forbes 100 spot!…read more The food was amazing!!!! The best cheese lasagna I've ever had. The serving was huge and yet after I swallowed it all, I did not feel gross! It was truly life changing. Can't eat Stouffers anymore! The location I believe was either a jail back in the day, or at least is was an administrative office for a jail. I think. It had a dungeon feel to it, but a pretty cool one though. The service was great! Very attentive and very easy to communicate with. It is off the main sites path but it's worth it and close enough to walk off the food to get to next major site. If I make it back to this place I'm for sure coming back.

I found this restaurant on google maps. We were lucky enough…read moreto get the only available table during lunch. We were seated right away. There were several large parties of 8-18. It seems like a hidden gem known only by the locals. I opted for the Burette with Ricotta and honey. The cheese was creamy and flavorful and worked well on the homemade bread. I thought the cut of meat with Parmesan cheese was excellent, but the steak was a tad chewy. The ravioli with ricotta with basil best I have ever tasted. The flavors are hard to describe, but an orgasmic experience comes to mind.

In the Monti neighborhood, a charming walk from our hotel brought us to Taverna Urbana…read more The food in Rome is all pretty fantastic, and Taverna Urbana is right up there. It's a small place on a neighborhood street. Not a lot of traffic. We ate outside. At first there were water misters going to cool folks off. Then when it got later , they turned off not sure why. Servers were all nice & helpful. Spoke English. Bread was served in a small paper bag. My husband had the ravioli with tomatoes which was very good. I had cacio e Pepe but opted not to have the table side creation (4 euro more) , though we did see someone else having that. Dessert - best dessert ever! Torta Della Nonna - flaky shortbread crust, lemon curd, almonds/hazelnuts. Raspberry sauce.

For whatever reason I'm thinking of Anton Ego's monologue from "Ratatouille" and his review of…read moreeating Remy's dish. The review reflects on the nature of criticism: Ego muses that the harshest criticism can be entertaining, but ultimately worthless compared to the act of creation itself. This applies to the meal I just finished. I seem to have eaten endless versions of typical Roman trattoria, osteria etc. whilst in Rome but nothing like the meal I had at Taverna Urbana. The Caccio e pepe is prepared at table side and was excellent. Overall the service was excellent and the price reasonable.

I got the truffled pasta which was so fragrant and unbelievably rich in flavor! My husband got the chocolate boar. Weird at first bite but the blend of meat and chocolate really worked! Not everyone is going to enjoy the dishes here since they use very powerful spices (saffron, truffles, etc) but we really had a great time here. The atmosphere is cozy, dark, and modern and the wine was delicious.

I just moved to the neighborhood and this was the first restaurant I tried. I arrived just before…read more8pm and there was no one around. There were plenty of awards listed on the door and the prices seemed reasonable so I felt like I was avoiding a tourist trap. However, given that I look Asian, I stood out like a sore thumb as I was surrounded by Italians, some speaking English but most speaking Italian. My waiter was great; however the other waiters seemed to be laughing that I was sitting alone for dinner, which maybe is a faux puax in Italy, and does not account for business persons traveling alone. When asked for recommendations on dessert, they stated the tiramisu, which was very good. Next time, I will try something else. They did try to push some alcohol on me as "authentic" so I don't think they realized that I was not looking for tourist stuff, but just good stuff. They didn't speak English that well so when I asked for leftovers to be packed up, they did not. My waiter promptly took care of that and asked packed up the delicious bread. I don't think having the boss around helped their nerves. But as for the actual food, it was quite food and reasonably priced. The octopus salad was quite good, with the fresh octopus cooked nicely--not chewy at all. I could have just eaten that because the portion sizes were so large but had already ordered the fish pasta so that was really good--pasta al dente with fresh fish, tomatoeS and olives!

The only thing is that the meatballs are not served with pasta, only a side of bread. Regardless of that, they were so delicious that I wish I could have gone back again. The restaurant is in the charming Trastevere district, and we really enjoyed our outdoor seating. The only downside was the wall right across the restaurant that had been badly tagged. It wasn't the restaurant's fault, but it was an eyesore. On the bright side, the restaurant itself was beautiful. The service was excellent. Our food arrived promptly, and our server was attentive and helpful. He even recommended an organic soft drink for my children called Gassosa. Overall, we had a fantastic experience.
