Our first evening was at Saltimbocca and our last dinner was at Saltimbocca. I can't imagine a more enjoyable place to sample Rome's amazing food! We ordered artichokes, pizza, pasta and cocktails and enjoyed EVERYTHING! THE Aperol Spritz was good, it the Berry Fizz was off the charts good! Best meal all trip, Rigatoni à la Gricia for him and Carbonara for me! read more

Had reservations but they did not get full so not sure if you need reservations on a weeknight. We decided to sit inside, plenty of seating. Restrooms are downstairs that are very narrow. We had the beef tail 2 ways, by itself and with Rigatoni. The meat was so tender and fell off the bone. read more

This cute indoor and outdoor restaurant is just 2-3 blocks from Piazza Navona. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They were very helpful. We ordered the thin beef steak and arugula, fried herbed zucchini and meatballs. Everything was delicious. We loved it. The wine and cocktails were tasty. The pasta was fresh and hand made with aldente style. The carbonara was very rich and filling. They offer a free cherry port shot at the end of dinner. It was very enjoyable and a nice finish to dinner. We absolutely loved this restaurant. read more

Great food. Polpette was a 5/5. Tender meat and delicious sauce. Perfect combo. Spicy Pulpo (Octopus) Pasta also a 5/5. This had well cooked seafood, reasonably al dente pasta, and the sauce was perfectly spiced. I don't think the pasta is made in house but I could be wrong. Regardless or where the pasta is made, this was a fabulous plate of food. Fried Calamari with the drizzle of balsamic paired perfectly with the vino and Aperol Spritz. The side of bread however was a little dry. This could be better. Overall great meal and great vibes at the restaurant. Service was efficient too! read more

Though definite tourist crowd this was one of the best restaurants we visited in Rome. Pasta dishes were good. I had the sirloin. It was seasoned with rosemary and cooked to perfection. Only drawback was that it was a bit tough. After dinner they gave us complementary glass of grappa. There was indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor to people watch and enjoy the great weather. The server was fluent in six languages. read more

Great service, delicious pasta, lovely dry white wine by the glass, perfect espresso after lunch. Two blocks from piazza Navona so it was a little Quieter and less touristy than the other places. Very nice! read more

This place had so many different options and my food was excellent. I got the Pesto Gnocchi and it was delicious. The service was also great and the waiter was very kind and funny. The downside was that we ordered the Semifreddo al Pistachio for dessert and it was not so great. It was overly nutty and I just wouldn't recommend ordering it. Overall, the area where this restaurant is located is superb and it is definitely a great place to get a good meal. read more

Seafood is not fresh. This is the only restaurant on our trip that ingredients are not fresh. The fish, prawns, tuna are very disappointed. The look is deceiving. Much better than they taste. The steak, fried sardines and the calamaris are good. Service is minimum. read more

Just around the corner of our airbnb. Was wonderful quirky with a speak easy feel mixed with a rustic tavern that warmly invited us in. We had amazing pasta dishes, fish and Roman chicken. All were delicious. Dessert was also fantastic and the panacotta was divine...silky and luscious. Get it plain...trust me it can stand on its own. Cheesecake was light and cream! read more

I had Cesar salad and they use an egg based dressing that tastes nothing like American Cesar Salad Dressing. This may well be the "authentic"" Cesar Salad Dressing, but egg yoke tasting dressing was not what i expected. Edible, yes, enjoyable, no. The rest of salad was typical of a USA Cesar. Service was very good. Liked the layout and it resulted in a great conversation with the table adjoining me. The other couple had a spaghetti dish, but very unlike USA style--again, this maybe more authentic, but a challenge to their American pallets. read more

Frequented this spot a few times as I was staying in the area. It's not 5 * though service was always on point and food matched, though really depends on what you order. Both pasta dishes I had were yum, though some of the meat stuff could be better. Def don't order dessert, go someplace else. For a quick bite and appetizer, it's all good! This place has been her a while, it can be loud, but has a good vibe, people who work here are doing their best- be kind to them! read more

My wife and I dined here twice while enjoying Rome before a cruise. The atmosphere, food, and service are outstanding. Don't waste your time eating in Navona Square, this shirt two minute walk will get you to significantly better food at half the price. Ensure you have reservations if looking to dine on a Friday or Saturday night, especially if you have more than 2 people in your party. We will be back during our next visit to Rome! read more

Read this was non touristy from other yelpers; I disagree. It was just ok and the pasta and sauces didn't taste fresh like you would expect. Service was friendly and fast. The restaurant just across was empty likely due to loud American rap music; really killed the vibe. The prices were good. read more

Unfortunately this place was a miss for us. We were only in Rome for 2 days / 1 night and decided to make reservations here for our first meal due to the high reviews/ratings from other travelers. It was easy to make reservations online, however we were disappointed by the quality of food. First off, the service was great. Super friendly and attentive. They also have english-speaking staff. I would have to say this place is very touristy despite what some reviewers say. They have a huge indoor dining area as well as an outdoor patio. The food was just OK. To start off, we ordered the fried calamari. It was good, but not great. Pretty standard. For our entrees, I got the carbonara and my husband got the cacio e pepe. The portions are huge here, which we were not expecting. Both our pasta dishes ended up being very very salty and we weren't able to eat much of it due to it being extremely salty :( We were so sad to be disappointed by our first meal in Rome. Unfortunately, we likely will not return and cannot recommend this business based on our experience here. read more

Lived this lively little spot off Piazza Navonna. Easy to get to, great service, and really good dinner! Informal, lively and friendly!

Wonderful lively street that made the wait in line worth it when you could dance and sing with others in line! A great experience. We decided to sit inside to have some AC. The Aperol spritzs were smooth and strong and the pasta sauces were all very delicious. They also gave us dessert wine for free. read more

Food was bland. Seafood wasn't fresh. We were so disappointed to have bad food in Roma. Maybe this place has better wine and drinks?! Not sure what happened, but I will not be going back sadly. read more

Good food, friendly staff, well situated. Definitely a solid food option and very reasonably priced.

Unfortunately this was not exactly what we were looking for. Based on the yelp reviews, we thought it was a nice local spot close to the Pantheon. However, we've had better pastas in other places we've tried in Rome. The lasagna was average, not super warm and the flavors were not memorable. The seafood pasta had a nice swan presentation but didn't taste very fresh or special. read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT I ATE AT IN ROME!!! First of all, I was extremely impressed by the service here! In Rome, I noticed that it is very common for restaurant workers to stand outside to entice people walking by to come and eat at their restaurant. All of the workers here were very welcoming, funny, and kind! As a tourist, I found it very easy to order using only English. The restaurant inside felt very intimate. The tables were pretty close together and the restaurant was dimly lit, which created a nice ambience for dinner. Food ordered: 1. CACIO E PEPE This was my first time having cacio e pepe.... and I was mind blown. I'm actually not a fan of pasta at all, but THIS CACIO E PEPE DISH WAS LIFE CHANGING. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS and the noodles were chewy, which I really enjoyed! I could not stop talking about this cacio e pepe the entire time I was in Rome. I quickly became a fan of pecorino cheese because of this dish. Pepper + pecorino cheese on chewy noodles = heavenly. 2. PADELLATA DI MARE This dish included white fish, clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, and bread. There was so much food on this platter and it was such a great price! I think it came out to be around $15 when converted to USD. If this same dish was priced in the US, it would probably cost around $40+!! They were so generous with the seafood portion and everything was so fresh! HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

They have AC - it's incredible regardless of the time visit Rome. The food is great and their service is even better. 100% a must go

Good carbonara, great atmosphere and live singing. Man united did lose while I was there so can't be 5 stars

This is my 1st big trip abroad since Quarantine and hip surgery! So I was HUNGRY!!! WOW, this meal was fantastic! The very friendly owner greeted you with an embrace! (The owner is from Rome, so . . .) and he knows how to cook! And my supper was the best Spaghetti Carbonara I've ever eaten - Ever! We started with the Roasted Eggplant and the Calamari Frita appetizers. They were a meal in themselves. Eggplant and mushrooms were roasted in a wonderful blend of garlic and spices! I can taste it now! The Calamari Frita - so tender! The Spaghetti Carbonara was to die for! The guanciale flavored the pasta perfectly (not too little, not too much) and the thick and luxurious sauce was amazing! Of course it was made with egg and NOT the cream sauces you find in the USA! God, it was good!! The house wine recommendation was perfect! I didn't have postre (dessert), but my friends were moaning with delight / so I assume it was very, very good. And the cold glass of house-made Limoncello was a perfect ending to a perfect meal! Think I'm too generous? Read my other reviews if you're bad I tell you, if you're good AND provide attentive service I'll report that too! ¡Buen provecho!! You won't be disappointed! read more

We arrived at a very busy dinner rush. The head waiter told us we needed a reservation or we could make a reservation and return in 40 minutes. No problem they were busy, so we returned and were seated. Very nice ambiance. We ordered some very tasty drinks and water. My wife loves eggplant and ordered their eggplant dish. I ordered the Cacio de Peppe and some beef rolls. My wife loved the eggplant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my pasta. The beef rolls were ok, and tasty but nothing to rave about. The service was very good for being so busy. I want to return and try something else on the menu. read more

Our first sit down meal in Italy will always be special so might be a biased review. We did have to wait for 30 mins as we didn't have a reservation but while walking away from touristy places by the piazza we came upon this through another food blog. Overall great service, loved the drink, the pizza as well as the fried potatoes with pepper and cheese. The fried anchovies and the pasta were nice too and overall big portions that we had to take food home unlike other places in Italy ! A very favored place by American tourists we could see, as people had reserved tables for dinner. The alleyway is cute with live music and people watching if you can sit outside. One of our favorite places in Rome ! read more
