If I'm honest, this was a disappointment. I hate to be too critical as this place has been on my bucket list for years, ever since I saw Anthony Bourdain eat the infamous Roman Cacio e Pepe here over a decade ago. It not only looked delicious but the setting was idyllic and I figured, based on the TV portrayal of it, it had to be great. So when in Rome... I did not want to miss my opportunity so I made an online reservation a week ahead. The process was simple as it involved sending an email request. I got a near immediate reply, requesting credit card info. The process felt a little threatening (if you don't show, your card will be charged). I initially interpreted this as a good sign since it suggested to me that reservations here might be difficult to come by. When the day came, imagine my surprise to find it empty. I was there for lunch when they opened so maybe that had something to do with it but even after spending 90 minutes there, only about five tables were occupied. I'm sure there are busier times, but the reservation process for that time of day seemed unnecessary and the threat of charging my card given the emptiness of the place seemed unfriendly. Regarding the food, it was great. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe because I had to and also a main of Roman Tripe in tomato sauce. But I will say that I ate in several cafés in Rome and had the same or similar dishes and every one of them was equally delicious. (it was a lot like going to Arizona and looking to eat a burrito. They are found everywhere, and everywhere does them well.) I would not be able to say that Sparita was discernibly better than any of the other local Trattorias I visited. The food here is certainly up to Roman standards, if but a tad pricier, which I am guessing is because of its fame since Bourdain. My lesson learned from all of this is that it is tough to find a bad meal in Rome. One thing that did strike me was that of the five tables occupied, three were tourists very much like myself here on a pilgrimage. I really did not see locals or the neighborhood community piling in to have lunch here. I think that says something. Where it really falls down for me. Is the pushiness of the service staff for tips. When it came time to pay, my server was sure to mention to me no less than four times that "service" was not included. It actually was very annoying and he was very clear about his expectations. Europe, in general, is not a tipping culture. When paying by credit card, their machines do not even give you an opportunity to add a tip in if you wanted to. I certainly don't mind leaving a small gratuity in any country that I am in when service recognition is warranted or the culture requires it. But this felt like an uncomfortable request to me multiple times which seemed more like extortion than a helpful suggestion. (No other Roman restaurant I visited did this.). I am glad I finally got the opportunity to visit and have a meal here. I would not pass up that experience or the chance to take it off my bucket list. But I really can't say that it was the best thing I had in Rome, nor was it head and shoulders better than any other Trattorias that I visited. Based on my observations during this visit, it seemed clear that this place has become more of a tourist spot brought into its own a decade ago by a celebrity visit. I don't think it is going to get a second visit from me.
Roma Sparita has been on my list since watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations series. This was the first place I made a reservation to as soon as our trip to Rome was finalized. Highly recommend doing that because when we went they were turning back everybody who didn't have a reservation. There was no waitlist, no walk-ins and no cancellations. We got the deep fried artichoke (Carciofi alla giudia), the Amatriciana and the iconic Cacio e pepe served in a cheese bowl. The deep fried artichoke was my first and it was crispy and delicious. The Amatriciana was very flavorful. The Cacio e pepe had the perfect balance of cheese and pepper and was served in a crispy parmigiano reggiano cheese bowl which gave it a unique touch. It definitely lived up to the hype. The tiramisu, paired with their house wine, was the perfect end to one of the most fantastic meals we had in Italy. The location is something I didn't care about much, it is located in a very quiet, almost boring piazza. It somehow seemed more lively in the documentary. All I can say is that a trip to Rome is incomplete without visiting Roma Sparita.
One of our fav meals in Italy. The highlights were the cacio e Pepe in a Parmesan bowl and carbonara both 10/10. Ambiance amazing and great service. The lamb was also a fav. Will be back
A little disappointed with this restaurant, since it's so highly reviewed. We arrived when it opened and there was already a small line. We didn't have a reservation, but they said we could be seated right away but only outside. There was a pretty big downpour that day which luckily subsided by dinner, and the umbrellas provided enough cover. We ordered the fried artichoke, carbonara, and amatriciana. The fried artichoke was good but I had better ones at other restaurants, which were a bit lighter and crisper. This one was a little too oily and dense. My husband wished the guanciale in the amatriciana was crispy. My carbonara was good but suuuper salty and heavy. I know carbonara is rich, but it seemed a little more than usual. Bread was complimentary but pretty stale. Since we were all seated at opening, service was very slow. The waiters seemed to cater to other people (maybe local) instead of us and it was really hard to get our check. He kept acknowledging us and saying he would come help us but never did. Out of all of the restaurants we went to during our trip, the service was probably the worst.
This spot came highly recommended by Anthony Bourdain, and after dining here, we completely understand why. We were smart enough to make a reservation in advance -- and so glad we did. The place fills up fast, and for good reason. Let's start with the star of the night: the Cacio e Pepe pasta served in a Parmesan bowl. Without exaggeration, it was the best pasta dish I've ever had -- rich, flavorful, and indulgent in all the right ways. Every bite was unforgettable. We started with a few appetizers. The stuffed olives were packed with flavor and a perfect way to begin the meal. The fried artichoke, a Roman classic, wasn't quite our taste, but it's worth trying if you want a true local experience. The atmosphere was full of character, and knowing Bourdain had sat here before added an extra layer of charm. If you're in Rome and love food with soul, this is a stop you can't miss.
Roma Sparita has been on my radar since Anthony Bourdain dined here. I know that they are nearby to another famous restaurant but I had to dine here instead. I highly recommend reservations but sometimes life happens and it slips your mind. It happened to me with our fluid itinerary. Knowing this, I arrived early but no one was in line so I went around the corner for some wine. Came back when they opened and the wait was till 9pm and they opened at 7:30pm! I put my name on the list and just waited there. The owner, I'm pretty sure he was the owner, told me there might be a cancellation and if there was a cancellation, he'll seat me right away. A few moments later, I was seated. They have outdoor seating and seating upstairs. This is where I was seated. It was nice and the place was cozy. A menu came and I ordered almost right away since I knew what I wanted. Everyone orders their Cachio e Pepe but I just ordered a Spaghetti Amatriciana and Coda alla Vaccinara since I just had Cachio e Pepe recently. The pasta came out first and it was al dente. The sauce was really good and I was able to finish the serving quickly. It took some time for the kitchen to get my Coda alla Vaccinara out but it was worth the wait. It came with 3 pieces of oxtail. I ate two and got one to go for Mink to try back at the hotel. Everything was delicious and I appreciate the great customer service from the owner.
Really enjoyed my meal here! Definitely would encourage a reservation. We came on a weekday and there was a line at the door before they even opened. Luckily we had a reservation, although we saw two groups get turned away. The food was really good, I got the Amatriciana pasta and really enjoyed it.
BEST RESTAURANT WE HAVE BEEN TO YET!!! Service was outstanding, food was INCREDIBLE!! Adorable vibes! So happy to have eaten here- going to try to make it again before we leave! If you get a chance DEFINITELY make this a must!!
This place was amazing! The service was great and has a cute patio area. We ate outside but the inside super cute as well! Very friendly and the food was 10/10. Would recommend!
This restaurant came recommended by a friend mother who dined there a couple of months ago. Turns out it was right down the street from Da Enzo, and we had passed by it twice! Location is great, in a quiet corner of Trastevere. Reservations are required and they don't open until 7:30 PM they're outside tables as well as inside, and the outside tables are well lit under umbrellas. The menu features lots of iconic Roman dishes like Cacio and Pepe served in a Parmesan crust bowl, Amatriciana, and a steak in green pepper sauce. I recommend a starter of the Roman Meatballs -- they're lightly friend and served atop a sauce made of Romano cheese, butter, flour, and a touch of curcumin for color. The sauce was a silky delight -- I'm lactose intolerant and I can't indulge in cream sauce, so I almost cried at how delicious this dish was! We also shared a tomato brushetta that came bursting with flavor from the sweetest tomatoes I've ever eaten and bright fresh green basil. Two slices were just right for two people. My friend asked for her steak medium and it was prepared perfectly. She said the green pepper sauce was flavorful and complemented her steak nicely. My Amatriciana was served with bucatini that was perfectly al dente, and was tastier than the same dish I had at Da Enzo down the street. Dinner was served with bread and breadsticks but we couldn't! Our server was friendly, kind, and accommodating, and made excellent recommendations based on our preferences. I would recommend booking a table her.
We had dinner here on our first night in rome. We made a reservation via their website. We were quickly seated. Dinner time was busy, so we did have to wait a little bit to order and for our food, which is expected in rome, pretty much every where. Our food was delicious. We mostly enjoyed the cacio e pepe and the pizza, the sausage was easily the best sauasage we've ever had!
This was one of the first restaurants I ever visited in Rome. As my travels have taken me back to Rome a few times I have revisited Roma Sparita. Always a solid bet for great food. A bit off the beaten path and tucked away, you'll still see a few tourists here as the place was made famous to outsiders by Anthony Bourdain, who actually refused to name it since he thought tourists would ruin it. The service is typical Italian, not particularly fast or overly friendly. You're meant to enjoy your time here with whomever you're dining with. The Cacio e Pepe and carbonara are top notch. Other pasta may be equally tasty but I can never bring myself to skip my two favorites. Anytime oxtail is on the menu it's also a must order for me. Has that "nonna" element to it as though your eating it at grandmas table.
If Il Sorpasso captured the reckless, wind-in-your-hair exhilaration of an Italian summer cruising in a Lancia Aurelia, Roma Sparita captures that exact same unapologetic joy in a parmesan bowl. We came to this quiet corner of Trastevere to revel in a masterpiece and chase the ghost of Tony Bourdain. He famously called this exact dish his "desert island meal," a plate of food so profoundly perfect in its simplicity that he just wanted a fork and to be left the hell alone with it. He was absolutely right. The Cacio e Pepe here isn't just pasta; it's a cinematic experience. That crispy, edible cheese bowl holding a creamy, sharp, black-pepper-flecked tangle of noodles is pure dolce vita. It's a celebration of living passionately, eating beautifully, and appreciating the travelers who showed us the way. Grab an outside table, let the Roman evening wash over you, and raise a glass of the house red to Uncle Tony. Five stars. read more

Really enjoyed the Casio de peppa in the Parmesan bowl. I also got the limoncello dessert. It was very refreshing. I suggest making a reservation. Place gets kinda crowded. We ate outside on patio. read more

While many may still come for the Anthony Bordain association, I think coming to Roma Sparita without sitting outside during the summer might miss the mark. Inside I thought that the service was rushed and more cookie cutter than anything else. Was the cacio e pepe good; of course. Better served in a cheese crusty bowl, sure. But something I would go out of my way for in Rome I am not sure. There are so many other places to try I would save this for a time when you still want a good meal but with less expectations. read more

This place is not on a Main Street. In fact, it's tucked away and you're gonna have to walk a little. But trust me, it'll be worth it. There were 4 of us and we couldn't agree on which pasta was to best. So try all 3 of the ones we loved: Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe. Also try the rice Crockett to start. read more

One of the best meals in Rome; I thought it definitely lived up to the hype, although some in our party thought the pasta dishes were too salty. The place is nice, and the service was some of the best we had on our visit. We started with fried courgette blossoms, rice croquettes, or suppli, fried stuffed olives, grilled vegetables, and prosciutto & mozzarella The suppli were not very flavorful; the courgette were good. I think the rest was pretty good. For mains, we had the cacio e pepe, carbonara, and a fillet steak with pepper sauce. I thought the cacio e pepe was awesome. I'm sure you can read about it in most other reviews. As mentioned, opinions were split on the pasta, especially the carbonara, which some loved but others thought was way too salty (also noted in other reviews). Our waiter was super nice and attentive. Great service and experience. We did not do dessert; we opted for gelato later. I would definitely put this place on your list for Rome. read more

Great meal at Roma Sparita. We came here inspired by the Stanley Tucci show "Searching for Italy." He mentioned that Anthony Bourdain came to this great little Roman gem. My wife wanted to make the pilgrimage to enjoy 'the best Cacio e Pepe in Roma'. She was not disappointed! The Burrata appetizer was a great starter dish. The burrata was fluffy, and the ham was not greasy at all. My son had the Tagliatelle a la Carbonara, and I had the Grilled Lamb. Both were very good, although I think his was better. My wife LOVED her Cacio e Pepe and gobbled it all up (including cheese bowl). My daughter had a Margharita pizza, which was made very well. My 'Crunchy Cherry' dessert was my personal favorite dish of the night. And the Chocolate Mouse and Tiramisu were both very good. The wine we had was recommended by the server. It was from the nearby Lazio region. We really enjoyed it. I would recommend if U see it on a menu somewhere or at a neighborhood market (see pics). read more

Made lunch reservations 2 weeks in advance. Impossible to get a table otherwise. Very strict on their reservations. Of course got the famous cacio de pepe dish. Outdoor seating was very enjoyable! read more

What can I say about this place? This is Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurant and he knew where to go eat. Cacio E Pepe was absolutely the best in Rome. I couldn't get enough of it. We actually ordered an extra because it was so good. We also got filet mignon and a pepper sauce, and a couple of other things. read more

When i saw that Anthony Bourdain special on Roma. I wanted to go to every place he went to. When i saw him order Caccio e Pepe. I tried it the first time I was here in some tourist restaurant in rome. Didnt quite like it, quite frankly, didnt even quite look like the dish i saw on tv. So i told myself that when i return i will hunt this restaurant down and have whatever the late Anthony Bourdain had and maybe even fabricate it for myself. So we came, got seated and barked our order to the waiter. Fried Artichoke: This was a first for me and my hubby. The outer petals were a little bit tougher, but ate like fibry chips. You gotta put a little effort in chewing it. Kind of like pumpkin seeds. Not everyone likes it, but I do!! And i'll probably be fabricating this dish too. Fried Prawns: These guys were pretty good. Seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. Best eaten by unshelling them with your hands. It's just easier that way. Trust me! Caccio E Pepe: This dish was the truth. I can understand why this would be Tony's favorite pasta dish. Simple and totally extraordinary. I will totaly fabricate this dish at home with the flavors i experienced from this plate. The restaurant a located about a mile out from the last tourist trap castle/building/church/fountain. So most, if not, all of the patrons are locals. The setting definitely rustic, but who cares! Service was dope, the food was super yummy and I would dine here again and again and again if given the chance. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!! read more

This is a highly overrated place, and I'd recommend skipping it and trying another restaurant. Food 3/5: Roma Sparita is famous for their Cacio E Pepe. We tried that, their mixed vegetables, and another one of their pastas. Their cacio e Pepe was good (and had good presentation) but I've had better cacio e Pepe in the US so wouldn't say it's absolutely amazing. Outside of the cacio e Pepe, everything else was average. Service 0/5: It's been a while since I've had such bad service at a theoretically "nice" restaurant. List of mishaps below: 1) We asked for a dish, the waiter "recommended" another dish because he likes it more. We thank him and said we still want the first one and he then tells us the restaurant doesn't have it today = waiter was lying about his "recommendation". 2) Bathrooms were not flushing (confirmed with another table) 3) Bread for table comes after we're done with half of our main dish 4) Waiter gives us black pepper in a shaker that's empty. Takes 10-15 minutes for us to flag him down and replace it 5) I know it's Italy, but even here I've never found it harder to actually get my bill / pay. There was a lot of stuff happening with our waiter in the interim that I won't go into but it left a bad taste in my mouth. read more
