Freakin bad ass place! The food was beyond my expectation. Dude everything about it was so good. Hands down it was the best food I had all over Rome. So happy I said down the street from there cuz seriously I was in there like 3 times during my vacay. read more

Went to the restaurant on yelp's recommendation, excellent food and really good service. What else can you ask for.

Would give 3.5 if possible First waitress wanted to sit us right next to another 2 when many separate tables for 2 were available and sat us in sun Never showed us menu del giorno We went inside to escape sun they were very slow and completely forgot salad but tried to charge for it and took long time to correct bill Eggplant parmigiana was ok I was looking forward to it based on reviews but I've had much better in US Overall overrated! read more

Delicious! Cappuccino is to die for! I went for lunch and it was so good that I went back for dinner. It's reasonably priced. Quality food for the amount you're paying. read more

Our server, Sara, was the best we've had during our entire 2 weeks touring Italy. Kind, courteous, helpful and joyful. She was knowledgeable of the menus small details, accurate with her suggestions, and especially well versed in pairing their wines with each meal. The food backed up the excellent service. I highly recommend. read more

As tourists in the area, we decided to come here for breakfast as it was highly rated on Yelp. One thing we didn't really understand is that most Italians will have their espresso and pastries in the front "bar" of the restaurant in the morning. Nevertheless, we were seated in the back and although we did get menus, were more interested in an "American" breakfast that morning. I know, I know, when in Rome,.... order local. We did order espresso with breakfast, and they kindly made us some great scrambled eggs with bread, and a tray of prosciutto. The staff were very very kind. They were busy getting ready for the day, and receiving deliveries of fresh bread, vegetables and fruits which bodes well for a great restaurant. I would strongly recommend this place, because they have great food and very accommodating staff. read more

This place is a perfect little Italian treat with extremely friendly staff who can speak very good English. I had the pizza meatball sandwich and my wife had the fruit platter, both were sensational. The richness in the pizza sauce is the true taste I was looking for from Italy! Also a very nice nutty coffee. A must for all travellers in the area. read more

Trendy, local wine bar. Great Italian hand carved hams, outstanding wine list and fun crowd.

I really liked this place. Seems like a trendy spot for drinking and socializing. I went here with my parents. We all had our fill of delicious food and the bill was teeny tiny. I would recomend read more

If you're looking for ambiance, great staff and incredible food, look no further. We stayed across the street from the restaurant and decided to try it out on a Wednesday night. The place was packed and the owner asked us to come back in 30 min. We walked around, came back and were seated. From the moment we sat, nothing by pleasure.. don't miss this if you are in Rome! read more

This place was great. I didn't feel like it was a tourist place. We had the beef carpaccio, tripe sandwich and meatball sandwich. Close to the vatican but far enough from the tourist traps. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Very 'foody' but great fun! Energetic and lively. Very helpful with food selections. Gets very busy!

See below for our first visit review but the second visit was an equally good experience. We started again with the tomato and buffalo mozzarella which is a keeper. The mains were the fettuccine with ragu which my partner loved. I had the spaghetti with tomato which was sublime. Both were home made pasta with hearty flavoured sauces. For deserts I had the profiteroles which were very very good (I'm hesitant to say the best I've had because people don't believe that, but they were). And my partner had the same strawberry dish and that was again great. The waiter was fabulous and took the time to go thru each menu item as it was written in Italian. We were surrounded by locals and they were spilling onto the street which is a good sign. Seriously worth visiting.... Yep very very good. Highly recommended and good value for money. Large selection of wines from many regions across Italy. The tomato and buffalo mozzarella was exceptional. So was the eggplant parmigiana which was perfect for lunch. The flavours were very well balanced. My colleague had the chicken salad which was good. For desert my colleague had the tirra something which was custard, strawberries with light flaky pastry and chocolate shavings. This was an amazing dish and the flavours worked incredibly well. It was not only great tasting but fun to look at and fun to eat. We also had the cannola which was very good. read more

First actual good breakfeast place I could find. Not a tourist trap, the bread and Cappuccino were good, try caprese with some eggs and start your day happy! read more

Absolutely wonderful place to relax, enjoy a scrumptious meal, and admire the wines. We ate well, drank well, and visited well. While it's a long way from Phoenix, AZ, I will do my best to get back to this great place. Service was unmatched! read more

After all the good reviews I was expecting a lot from this restaurant but honestly, the food was just okay. I got the fettuccine with artichoke and it had an unique taste but there wasn't that much flavor. Get that pasta if you're craving something light. For dessert I got the apple one with rum sauce. It was eh. My friend got the chocolate cake with pear sauce and that was definitely a lot better. ALSO, they charge you for bread here and they didn't even tell us so we kept asking for more bread read more

One of our best, if not the best, dining experiences in Rome! The best pesto linguine I've ever had, and beautiful presentation! It is awesome inside, see through ceiling area in the dining area so your above view is Roman apartments which was awesome. We had the pear and walnut salad, salmon ceviche, and pesto linguine - all sooo delicious. Our waitress was awesome, gave great insight on the menu, and was very attentive. An authentic local Italian dining experience. No menu in English but the waitress answered all our questions thoroughly and help us through the menu. Can't recommend enough. We will be back for sure! read more

I went to this restaurant for a quick bite as I was cruising around town. It look packed with people standing outside with a glass of wine in their hands. Then I realized it was "apperitivo" time. A.k.a Happy Hour! My friend and I ordered an Ethiopian meat cous cous and Fettuccine with basil pesto. The Ethiopian meat with cous cous was good but not excellent, the fettuccine with basil pesto was excellent! The service was good, ambiance was nice, everything was on point. Not sure why I ordered Ethiopian meat in an Italian restaurant. Lol Overall a good experience Tootles read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend. I really wanted to like this place, but the service made my experience terrible. The place is very unorganized and the guy seating us said it would be a few minutes before a table was ready. He ended up seating three other tables before us even though we were the first to arrive. Once we were seated, we were served our ham and mozzarella platter which was pretty good, but waited over 30 minutes for our pasta which we ordered at the same time. Tables that were seated after us had gotten their food and left while we were waiting for the pasta. No apologies were made and the waitresses didn't bother making eye contact with us while we were waiting for our food. Worse service ever and the pasta was mediocre after all that. I wanted to walk out earlier, but my husband thought we should stay. I've had much better service at all the other restaurants during our time in Italy, so it's not an Italian thing. I'd recommend that you find a different place to eat and don't waste your time here. read more

This was such a wonderful find! We just left the Vatican Museum night time tour and we're hungry. We were not let down by all the other great Yelp reviews. The food was absolutely wonderful, as we're the centrifughe (pressed fruit juice) and pimm's cup! Definitely a must if you're in the Vatican neighborhood. read more

Try the trappizzino. Seriously, you won't regret it. We tried every type and they were all delicious, but our favorites were the meatball one and the eggplant parm one. Great wine selection at a variety of costs with the cheapest being 4.5€. They give you free meat, cheese, crackers and bread when you order wine. Love! read more

Very particolar place: special appetizer while you wait to seat! Delicious tipical dishes... You'll love it . Give it a try!! read more

Great place for a coffee and a light snack. Their fresh trapizzino is amazing. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely come back here.

Ok service, if tourists are your patrons mostly then it would be good to be polite and explain the menu. We know we don't know your language but if you are willing to serve please be patient. Food was good and cold cuts were delightful. read more

This place is fantastic! My sister guided us to this place after our tour of the Vatican (which I recommend very much). Come here for a nice sit down lunch either outside overlooking the street or inside under a glass roof. The servers are great and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The food was as good as it looked and as a family of 5, we are a LOT. We sat at a sharing table with another party of 3 and had a pleasant meal. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Rome! read more

I was at Sorpasso on the night they opened 4 years ago and immediately knew they'd be a huge success! I moved away from Rome two years ago, but was fortunate enough to go back last week. Sorpasso was one of my top 5 spots to hit up while I was in town and I was happy to see they have managed to maintain their authentic style and taste despite their incredible popularity! My favorites have always been la parmigiana and il vino di nessuno (delicious & affordable). Make a reservation if you plan on going during peak hours and want a table or prepare to drink/eat standing outside, resting your plates & glasses on car hoods like all the others. Either way, Sorpasso is a must! read more

Great quaint place on the shadow of the Vatican. We had trappizino - a stuffed sandwich with your choice of filling. We could not decide our favorite between the meatballs, the chicken cacciatore, or burrata cheese! Of course, the cannoli was amazing. read more

Fantastic place, authentic cuisine, incredible dishes, slow paced extremely hospitable staff. My server was patient and expressive with the presentation of the menu and specials. Again no rush, each customer is respected and pampered. Mezzamanica pasta special (4 types of bacon) was divine, bardolino wine delicious. The Italian meats and cheese plates were perfectly sized (saucers). Finished off with espresso. Highly recommend and will absolutely return. Great location and revered by locals. Short walk from Vatican city. Thanks Sorpasso. read more

I noticed this place always packed at night on my way back to my airbnb. I finally decided to try it one day for an early dinner. The wait staff were very friendly and gave me some wonderful recommendations. I had their special which was a tuna pasta which tasted great. My friend got a pesto pasta which he thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was very friendly. Also, they have a great variety of wines and spirits available. We were very surprised by the volume of bourbons available. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I was excited to have brunch here on my way to Vatican. The bartender told us all tables were reserved so we had to stay at the bar. They don't serve brunch btw. This is the worst customer service ever. It takes forever to get menus and if you need to ask for something, better do not. All questions or requests are being greeted with bartender's attitude. Poor menu. NYC, I missed you! read more

Fantastic. Everything. We will come back tomorrow- our of the 4 days here in Rome , this is the best pick with no doubt.
