Lunched here on a rainy day after having had this place on the radar for a few days. They only have indoor seats, but the atmosphere inside is really good - old, rustique and friendly. I hit a freaking home run on my selected dishes however. The patata pecorino was an exciting and surprising good thing which I never had before. But the pizza, mamma mia! "Provola e speck" - an absolute floor knocker. The smoked cheese and exquisite ham, blended perfectly onto the stone oven baked golden bread, and the tastes married each other in a smokey charcoal heavenly harmony. I can now die happily knowing I have eaten the best pizza in my life. Thank you Saltimbocca! read more

So I am on the fence with this place. The food (with the exception of Lasagne which NO ONE should order in Rome ever) was great. One starter was forgotten until the last minute. And my entree also was clearly forgotten about. I had to ask for it twice. And there was no follow up such as "it'll be out in a minute." They just walked away. The starters were amazing and the bartender has great skills. Good house wine. Atmosphere good. read more

This was the best food experience we had in Italy! We spotted a rúcula and mozzarella pizza from the street and were sold on the freshness. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly (a true rarity in Italy). All dishes ordered were delicious and well served at a low cost. The complimentary house wine for desert was the "cherry" on top. I don't wish to come bake to Rome, but if I do, I'll make sure to eat there again. read more

Really good shrimp and we loved the saltimbocca sauce. Yummy and conveniently near a bunch of touristy attractions.

After attempting to eat in Piazza Navona and being lured into tourist traps, we walked just one minute up the street and found this gem. Everything was amazing from the start. We had a Caesar salad and fried olives with minced meat. Both were delicious. We then proceeded to order two pastas - one amatriciana and one carbonara. These may have been two of the best pastas I have had in my life! The pasta was cooked to perfection - al dente - and the sauces were rich and delicious. It was not overpriced by any means for being in such close proximity to the piazza. I highly recommend and will definitely return if I find myself in Rome again. read more

We came here for dinner on our last night in Rome. They have a great cocktail menu and awesome food! read more

Piazza Navona is our favorite spot. This is an easy 3 minute walk from there. We ended up eating here twice because the service, food, ambiance and staff were perfect! Get the cheese plate with honey, you won't be disappointed. Their carbonara was the best we had in Italy. Nicest staff. Try to eat outside if you can for some people watching. Highly recommend. read more

The best restaurant in Rome! I had the best lasagne here. And the waiters are so nice! I was so disappointed in Rome before I went to this restaurant. But now I had a wonderful night and it really made my day! read more

Mediocre, salty food. Very touristy with American music playing. Pasta not cooked al dente (still white throughout) and was hard. Rolled beef was passable but did not stand out. Wine was decent but the worst 'house wine' for our trip. Don't listen to the 4.5 stars. It baited us in here and was very disappointed. read more

Had lunch in the walk to Pantheon . Food is incredibly fresh and unique as well . Service is one of the best in old town Rome . Really enjoyed it. As a feedback to owner , he might want to refresh tables and chairs outside . read more

My family and I dined here - pizza was delicious, linguine with clams rather salty, Cesar salad was typical and lasagne was top notch! Wait staff was attentive and enjoyed watching them - they were truly having a good time. American music was unexpected. Loved the street lined with restaurants but no auto traffic. Enjoyable night! read more

This is a phenomenal place that serves up homemade dishes fresh to order! You have to try their mozzarella in carozza and their take on what a cannoli should taste like! read more

Oh man one of the best places I ate in Rome. Glad a few of my family members joined me so we got to sample a bit of everything. After dodging all of the places trying to lure us into their restaurant we found the place and sat outside. It was empty inside even though it was a hot summer day. We had amazing pasta, caffe, wines, pizza, and roasted vegetables. The cacio e pepe was one of my favorite things I ate in the city. read more

Service took an excessively long time. Yes, I am in Italy, and I know the service is slower where, but this was far slower than any place we had been to. On top of that, I have no doubts you could find better food in Rome. read more

As a professional traveler.... (flight attendant for 37 years) I've come to be picky at eating the local cuisine. So on the advice of a friend I came to eat here. Nothing like Bruce Springsteen playing ( how Italian). The staff was very nice and quick but the food is another thing. I ordered pasta with tomatoes and spicy and sautéed spinach.Let's say very bland on the pasta, to the point I couldn't make it tasteful but hey the spinach was ok. I mean how can u mess up spinach. You get no bread with the meal and tho it's busy (because of the location) save yourself. They are soooo many wonderful places tucked away in the alleys that are 100%better. Hell my pizza from the grocery store had more flavor. Trust me, I'm always in Rome but save your euros and go elsewhere! read more

Amazing experience. Fantastic ambiance. Great location (esp for us tourists). They were so kind and gracious to us English only speakers and the food! So so good. Our favorites were the eggplant parmigiana and the rigatoni amatriciana (?) -Rigatoni with the bacon jowl. As a no meat eater, tons of choices for me! Highly suggest this place for a delicious Italian meal. Also there is no way to prepare you for the complimentary digestif.. cough syrup was my first thought. :) read more

The BEST Cacio e Pepe in Rome! Fun lively environment and my server was a gem. Prices were reasonable too.

We had one of the best Italian meals tonight. Everything was delicious and the service and staff were friendly and wonderful. Best service and dining experience since coming to Italy. Tomorrow is the last day of our Europe vacation and we're definitely coming here for dinner again. read more

Amazing food, excellent service and great location. A hidden gem, far from touristic places.

Such a cute and great place! Service was amazing and food was very delicious. I wished that the pesto had a stronger flavor and the tomatoes were a little hard but the pasta was cooked perfectly and the prawns were fresh and delicious. The spritz was not too sweet and the flower power drink was divine. read more

Our party of 8 ate dinner here twice, and we left with a smile both times. The first time all dishes were good, but on the second visit we had 7 out of 8 dishes enjoyed. The saltimbocca (ironically the name of the restaurant) was not up to par with the other dishes. The highlight of our visits were the pizza, lasagna, and pollo con peperoni (chicken with bell peppers ancient roman style). The chicken was divine. We had a few Aperol Spritz, and cheesecake with passion fruit and tiramisu for dessert. The service was friendly, helpful, fast, accommodating, and easy to communicate with as the staff spoke fluent English. We sat outside and there was a Cuban band playing latin hits which made it for a great atmosphere. This place is just west of Piazza Navona and we highly recommend it. Enjoy... read more

We had our best meal in Rome here. Giant tasty cold cuts platter with warm flat bread. A delicious seafood medley of prawns, mussels and cod--a giant portion. And our three-year-old thoroughly enjoyed his spaghetti (after we picked out the basil--of course!). Service was attentive. Atmosphere warm and family-friendly. read more

This is one great place. Tucked along a side street near Piazza Navona's tourist traps it was an even better find... Very hospitable and friendly, warm and traditional yet very comfortable setting, and superb food. Very reasonably priced too. Be sure to try the tonarelli and the carbonara and amatriciana. Also excellent was the eggplant parmigiana. Dessert was excellent, especially the semifreddo of pandoro our server suggested. All in all a must visit in historic Roma! read more

we were drawn in by a very friendly man. He spoke excellent English. The service was good. you can tell they all busy their butt and help each other out to run the business. The man who greeted us, seated us, helped serve, bus tables, clean, serve wine, all the while being in more customers. Great people. we ordered the cheese platter and cold cuts off the appetizer menu.it was a lot of food but so delicious and I would recommend it for 4-5 people to share. Instead, my husband and I stuffed our faces and were too full when the main course came out. We shared the lasagna, which is mediocre. He also had tiramisu at the end, which he said was tasty, but not the best he's had. read more

Great little jewel hidden just off the main drag..authentic Romano recipes to satisfy the heartiest of hungers..with pleasant staff and a knowledgeable, well versed bartender..and a good wine selection.. you'll find yourself loosing track of time enjoying the ambiance, great food and great people.. read more

We had a great time here. We ended up picking it based on the fact that it's open later, it got decent reviews and it's close to our hotel and it surpassed expectations. We each had a cocktail, wine, a primo and a secundo. The cocktails were very good, with obvious thought and care given to the original twists on classics (you can of course still get the classics if you like). I got the rigatoni alla gricia and my wife had the ravioli with sage and butter and the pasta was the best we've had in the area. We then had the saltimbocca and oxtail, which we were told were both more traditionally Roman dishes, and they were both solid, if somewhat outshone by the pasta. The service was good, they were quite fluent in English (which is a bonus for us), and we enjoyed the ambiance. The price wasn't bad for the quality of food and the location (85€ total). One warning: If you're going to be bothered by people trying to sell you crap, I suggest sitting inside. We didn't mind, but make your own call. Probably good advice for most places in the area. read more

My favorite meal in Rome. The food was phenomenal. Beautiful craft drinks. I had the eggplant parmigiana -- incredibly delicious. The meatballs and bread/sauce sampler plate was also really good. I had a margarita and the flower drink... very good and served beautifully. We will definitely be back. read more

My family and I ate here four times during our vacation. It was one of my favorite places to eat in Rome where things can be touristy. The food and wine is great here. The staff is really friendly too. Between the four of us, we tried a lot of stuff on the menu and everything was amazing! I would recommend everything. At the end of the meal they give a shot of some kind of cherry liquor that was really nice, I think they said they make it there. They won't nickel and dime you here cause you're a tourist either which is a plus. I'm back in California now writing this review wishing I could go there for dinner right now. Eat here, it's totally worth it!!! read more

So glad we found this place on Yelp! Great service and even better food. We had a few pasta dishes and they were super yummy! The pizza also looked really good too but that's next time. Highly recommend! read more

Great service and better food!!! Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Good English as well;) read more

So good! Off the beaten path. Had the special, which was super fresh! Go, you won't be disappointed!

This meal was hit and miss. My gnocchi was 4 stars. Nothing to write home about but good. My friends meal was a complete miss. Cacio e Pepe, that was like warm and felt very, could make this from a box at home. read more

We came here trying to find a lunch spot near Piazza Navona that didn't microwave their entrees. This was a lovely little nook in a small side street. The servers were attentive and courteous - more welcoming than others we've had. The pollo peperoni had a nice, bodied flavor. My only complaint is that the gnocchi seemed a bit bland. I wish it had tad more kick to it. I would defiantly go again and try other items on the menu. read more

Very very good restaurant. The food was very good. The staff was excellent! My daughter had the 4 cheese pizza and I had the eggplant Parmesan. My wife had the carbonara. All was very good! We also had the fried potatoes and pecorino cheese appetizer which was very good. Casual atmosphere. Would go back again!! read more

If you're able to sit outside, it will be nice to people watch in this busy neighborhood. I consider this more of tourist spot than a place for good food. We had the spaghetti and meatballs and the Parmesan eggplant. Both were simply ok. read more

This was a great spot for dinner! The location was perfect, right off of Piazza Novona. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. The prices were very reasonable for Rome. But the most important part was that the food was amazing!! When I come back to Rome I will definitely come back here. read more

Truth be told - I wasn't expecting much, I thought we had been suckered into tourist land...we couldn't decide between two pastas for what would be our last meal in Rome..so the awesome waiter said he would like to split them both on two plates so we could both have half and half. The carbonara was creamy and velvety the other was as he described, a little more salty but the pasta was thicker and delicious. Very impressed. read more

This was probably my favorite part of the trip. I had dinner/lunch 3 times here in 4 days. I would have come back everyday if the taxi wasn't so expensive. The house wine is great and my fiancé loved their sangria. We also had their fettuccine with basilico,lasagna of the day, and fettuccine pesto with shrimp. All delicious not to mention the service was outstanding. Very tourist friendly with good prices. read more

Can't rave enough. The food was fantastic!!! I will for sure be going back before the end of my trip.
