When you walk in is nice and cool specially in the heat of the summer. It's simply lit inside and looks small right at the entrance but there a downstairs too. The servers are very friendly and really nice. We ordered two pastas, the steak and the fried calamari and shrimp combo. The pastas were good and perfect size for one person. The steak was really big! But some of it was quite tough while some of it was good. The flavor was good though. The calamari and shrimp however was delicious! I could've eaten a whole mother order of! Light, crispy, and very simply seasoned with salt. Plus it was so crispy you could eat the shrimp with shell and legs and everything. By far the best part of the meal! So if you want good fried calamari and shrimp I highly recommend trying this place out! read more

I finally found some fresh truffles. It is in season right now and I didn't even know that the truffles is soft. I am so grateful to have this best pasta in Italy. I had a spaghetti carbonara with truffles.The tomato salad was so good too. I had a great waiter. Everybody else is so nice there, and I ended up getting lemon cello and the tallest rose. I have nothing to regret and I can fly home tl read more

Looks small on the outside, but as you walk towards the back of the restaurant, there are stairs that lead to another spacious dining room. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and how nicely set the tables were. The waiters were super friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food presentation was on par. If you like burrata cheese, get the lasagna with the burrata on top. It's super creamy and adds extra texture to the lasagna. The pasta was cooked al dente, but my pallet was wanting a little more salt (this may may just be me). Otherwise, the lasagna was good. The seafood carbonara isn't the classic carbonara that you would expect in terms of flavor. If you like seafood, then you many like this dish. There's plenty of seafood in this dish to satisfy your craving. The gnocchi lacked flavor IMO. Wasn't a fan. But if you like gnocchi, then you may like this dish. It's simple, but could have more flavor. The restaurant overall was pleasant and the menu has a good variety. It's prices are in line with most like restaurants in the area. If you are on a budget, this may not be the place for you. I'm giving it a 4 star for the staff, food presentation and quality. Again, the lack of salt could just be my pallet. read more

Server attitude was a problem, not that they're not nice but very selfish Whole foods are worse than Italian foods in other countries. Firstly, it took a long time to order, and the server did not take customers' sequence to order. I asked if the glass of wine is white or red, the server kept telling me they have red and white of house wine while there is another "house of wine" on the menu. Very confusing. When I asked if they have truffle pasta, they immediately showed me a big board, which was displayed in front, that was very dusty and very close to my table. The guest next to me asked how much are the chips and olives, which I know are complementary in this area. Meanwhile, I told them I didn't get those, yet they just pretended they don't understand till I asked again. When I ask if the truffle pasta is pasta or linguine, the server told me linguine is pasta, which is what I meant by they're selfish and not answering my question. The truffle pasta came with cheap ingredients, and I see no real truffle which the server told me there is. House white wine is smooth but no flavor. read more

The caprisi salads, $10, were huge and delicious!! Ceased salad maybe the best we've ever had! My wife's Taglia al carbonara dinner was excellent. The problem was my main course, the special - fettuccine with shrimp. The shrimp had been sitting in water too long and it lost all texture. The pasta was delicious, but the huge lump of cheese was distracting unnecessary and did not add. Great ambiance-just my special wasn't so special. read more

Excellent yummy food. Ordered homemade spaghetti with clams. ( the sauce light ) abd fillet seabass. Cooked perfectly with spinich. They also had my fav. Panna cotta with berry sauce Prarag my server was good everything was the best I've ever had read more

I had the Best time ever! Matteo is amazing! Super yummy aperol spritz! Right next to fountain and he had a great spirit!

This restaurant is located very close to Trevi Fountain. Our hotel was located close to fountain so this place was very convenient. We came here one night for drinks and returned the following day for dinner. It was a good dining experience. We ordered a few bottles Malbec, which was really good. We had the meat and cheese plate. We ordered the mushroom and truffle carbonara and seafood carbonara, both were very tasty. read more

Stumble into a place and eat- don't worry about the menu- the are 100% all the same in Rome!! They are all about the same- service, for us, always with a smile. Pasta Amatriciana is the go-to. Roman artichokes (come early to get them here) and roasted vegetables...the dinner of choice when in Rome. Had a huge salad, with about 1/2 lb of tiny Mozzarella balls, tuna, corn, cukes, egg, olives...all the toppings. So big, I requested the salad leftover to-go....they only packed the mozzarella....what a disappointment for Nonna when we got back to the BnB. Be specific! Lesson learned!!! read more

Originally we're going to II Chianti but they the host said it was a limited menu and after he sat us we waited a few minutes and no servers came to greet although many passed us by. We left and came across this gem of a restaurant right across the street. The food was absolutely amazing. Best meal I've had in the 5 days I have been in Italy. Service is fast and friendly. This place does not disappoint. read more

We loved the ambience in the farthest back room. The food was excellent. Beware that the "pepperoni pizza" is pretty spicy. Service is slow as is all restaurants in Rome. read more

Stay away from this restaurant! The worst veal piccata I have ever tasted. It was basically devoid of flavor as was my wife's grilled salmon. Even the tomatoes in the salad were too ripe. I don't know who they working in the kitchen but they are not Italian chefs. read more

This was my favorite meal in Rome! The service was fantastic and everyone was so nice to my toddler. The atmosphere was great and so was the food. The only thing I didn't like was the tables are like picnic benches and not very comfortable. But I absolutely loved it here. And right by Trevi Fountain! read more

The worse place I tried in Rome and I only had drinks here! Why you ask? Don't be fooled by the 5€ take away drinks as you pass by. My husband and I wanted drinks before dinner and this place offered drinks and we were just really tried from walking around all day. I had a piña colada and he had a caipirosca. They also gave a side of what seemed like Chex mix which they probably charged for. The service fee and two drinks and all the extras they add to the bill we ended up having to pay 30€. Track tip: Do not go into an establishment that has someone outside telling you to have a drink or dinner. read more

The reviews do not give this place the justice it deserves. The food is amazing, the service was great. We loved it so much we came back twice for dinner (we only stayed 3 nights). The food is so flavorful and the menu has something for everyone. I am honestly shocked that this place only has 3 stars. Don't miss out!! (Thank you from the US). Molto Buono!! read more

Very disappointing. For almost 50 euro we got a lukewarm prosciutto cheese pizza (uncut and with crust so thick I could have used a chainsaw instead of the knife they issued me), a Caesar salad, two green salads, and a bottle of still water. The salads were not bad - just very average, is all. It was "air conditioned" at least, and near the insanely crowded Trevi fountain they had benches (picnic style) so it is a place to sit down out of the heat. Service was fair but again, just average. We will not return. read more

This place was excellent. From the wine to the fettuccine el pesto. The waitress was great. She made sure I had everything I needed. I started with the cheese plate. Too much for one person but excellent. Then I had the fettuccine with red wine. To finish I had an excellent cake with coffee. It was a great Italian experience. Loved it. read more

We decided to go back to the Trevi Fountain area after being in there the night before and seeing many restaurants. We like the look and menu at Taberna so decided to give it a shot. The front entry area has picnic style tables with the main dining and more formal area to the back and downstairs. We ordered salad, potatoes, spaghetti with clams, veal saltimbocca and the chicken cutlet. The food was very good but quite a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the area. The service was a little slow but we had a good meal and enjoyed the restaurant overall. read more

We visited this restaurant on our last night of a 4 day visit. The food was good, the house red was amazing and the staff attentive. Lovely atmosphere and very popular. Some of our party had the set menu (only order if very hungry!), lasagna and carbonara. Lovely last evening of our stay. read more

Taberna Patricii Et Plebe Increíble scenerio, lovely place to eat. Not you're typical or ideal place in Rome, which may be next to the plaza or main area, but it's in the local neighborhood. More comfortable. Take you back to the romantic time. I enjoy the harp being play, while eating. read more

I tend to avoid restaurants that employ staff on the side of the streets who persuade passersby to stop in for a bite to eat, but I'm glad I broke my own rule this time around. The atmosphere was an interesting mix of rustic Italian and hip/pop culture. The wait staff was friendly, and the menu had a handful of options for each 'course' of the meal. The prices were a bit steep, and the combo meal packages weren't flexible (e.g. couldn't substitute the house wine for another, or chicken for veggies), but the portion sizes were fairly generous. It's a steal for a restaurant just steps from the gorgeous Trevi fountain! read more

Be wary of any reviews you read for this restaurant. The person I believe to be the manager approached our table and offered us free dessert in exchange for a positive review, so any reviews you may read might not be entirely honest. The food was ok, certainly not up to the Italian standard. However, this restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Filled with floor to ceiling paintings, and mood lighting. It was one of the prettiest places I've ever eaten, but I still wouldn't return because I feel like it was a good meal opportunity wasted. read more

Horrible cocktails and risotto!!!!! Our last night in Rome, we wanted to have a nice dinner and stumbled across this restaurant. We ordered cocktails: Cuba Libre, mojito, and another flavored mojito. The flavored mojito was way too sweet!! And couldn't even taste the alcohol. The Cuba Libre tasted like poison!! (That's how my friend described it). The regular mojito tasted like a virgin mojito. And not to mention the risotto tasted like microwaved risotto and I paid over 20 euros for it. I'm not kidding, the pre-made risotto I buy at the grocery store tastes way better. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND EAT ELSEWHERE. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! U WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!! IM NOT KIDDING!!!!! read more

The ambiance was cool, the food was decent, and the wait staff were nice. Not the best food in Rome but not the worst either. Pasta dish we had was a little bland but the meat and cheese board was great... That's hard to mess up. read more

Bad service. Just ok salad. Just ok gnocchi. Horrible pizza with flavorless crust, sauce and cheese. When we got the bill it had a 10% charge so we asked. They said it's a charge every restaurant charges for silverware/napkins/toilets. However we never once had a charge like this at any of the restaurants we dined at. Tourist trap! Overpriced and not good food or service. There are MANY other places you can eat for less money and better food that are within blocks. They are pretty from the outside but not worth your time or money. Keep walking! read more

Had dinner there and it is a cozy restaurant. It was crowded and we were put in the cellar. They tried to upsell us on everything but luckily the service and food were good. Pasta carbonna was ok; my husband thought it was too creamy: we had it 3 days in a row and it was ok. My son enjoyed his gnocchi in cheese sauce and my other son had tortellini in a mushroom, bacon sauce and it fantastic. What nicely surprised me was their large salad with fresh tomatoes, cheese, olives, onions & tuna. A bit overpriced but not mad for something tourist by the Trevi Fountain. read more

After checking into our apartment in Rome we decided to go out and take a walk then find somewhere to have dinner. We walked down our street (lane) and found several all within about 100 feet of our front door. The second one was Taberna. After visiting about 5 more and checking menus we went back to Taverna. The 'Greeter' at the front door was very polite, friendly and professional as she turned us over to a server. The seating is bench style so we asked for a chair because I get a sore back if the seating doesn't have a back. I was easily accommodated. We ordered a bottle of wine and bruschetta to start and the bruschetta was lovely with perfectly ripe and full chopped tomato. After that we both ordered the Fettuccini a la Fungi. It was one of the best we'd ever had. Abundant porcini mushrooms with a luscious mushroom sauce over handmade pasta. With added cheese it was perfect. By the end of the evening we had been served by several different waiters and had developed a rapport with almost all of them. This made for a most pleasant meal especially as it was our first since all the stress of traveling to Rome from Oregon! We noticed that there was another dining room downstairs in a basement area and found out that it was indeed the same restaurant. The next evening we decided to go back and try it out again. Consistently excellent we once more happily enjoyed the meal and the jovial commraderie of all the servers and staff. Also the dining room downstairs was very elegant and beautiful with hand-painted murals covering the entire walls and ceilings. On our third day, we were very tired after a busy day exploring this amazing city so we went back for a third time and the staff was totally honored that we came back again. And it wasn't like we hadn't been trying other local restaurants in the area for lunch and small plates . . . The whole place including food, people, location and ambiance just made it a place we felt very at home in. We would highly recommend Taverna Patricii et Plebel to anyone! read more

DELICIOUS! Restaurant is located near the Trevi fountain. My family and I (11 people) walked up to the door at 10:55pm trying to get seated for a very late dinner, knowing that they would be closing soon. They accommodated us and the service and food were both FANTASTIC! Tania our server was absolutely wonderful and lovely. The food, OH MY! Only 2.5 stars?!?! I don't know how. We all LOVED everything we ate. Definitely recommend this gem! read more

Ok so, part of it is our fault for not asking questions. We stopped outside the place to read the menu, and a nicely dressed female enticing diners tried to lure us in. When we asked if they served steak (because we couldn't see any on the menu), she said yes. We sat down and checked the menu again, but no steak. I ordered the veal, and it was very dry, even with the gravy it was sitting on. The rest of the food was ok, but the waitress kept offering us extra things, like an cold cut appetizer that she claimed was the special, meatballs for my daughters pasta, and bread for the table. Overall, those three things cost us an additional 38 euro. Like I said earlier, partly our fault for not asking questions but we didn't expect a appetizer "special" to cost over 20 euro. Our most expensive meal in Rome was one of the most disappointing ones. read more

I can 100% tell there are people from the states who have no idea about European service and restaurants, who have low ratings. This isn't the states where they wait on you hand and foot hoping to attain a tip. The good is good, not great, and the wine is definitely solid. I would stop by for lunch if you're in the area. read more

Do not eat here, it's horrible! After walking around the city looking for a place to eat and not having any luck without reservations, we came upon this restaurant. The hostess was outside trying to get people to come in (that should've been a sign to run for the hills but I was so hungry and tired from walking around all day). To summarize, the food was bland and the ravioli was cold in the middle like it was from a microwave, they charge 4 euro (which is $4.80) for tap water, the wine was not good, and they charged a 10% fee on top of everything. I wish I would've saved the 80 euro I spent on dinner and had street pizza and a gelato instead. I warn you, do not fall for this tourist trap!!! read more

There is a tourist tax and I have been to many restaurants in the area during my trip and was never charged the tax (10%). They also display in and out of the restaurant that there is WiFi when ours didn't work at all as well as A/C which was also not even on. The food left a lot to be desired and our waitress was outright rude. The saving grace meriting the single star was that their kitchen was open later than most in the area. Otherwise, would not return. read more

To summarize, pure garbage. Staff generates hostile environment and some ladies from New Jersey had a meal served with live ants walking all over the plate. Horrible. Poor ladies, hope they drank enough to overcome the experience. read more

Worst meal in Rome, only giving 1 star because the wine was good but was also 10 euro per glass...we had chicken scallopini which was full of gristle and a mushroom pizza that was raw and doughy....the salad was good...waiter asked us if we'd like some hot bread we said sure, it was warm Focaccia that we were charged 6 euros for...terrible food and service read more

TOURIST TRAP We got fooled by the very nice lady at the entrance and unfortunately did not look carefully before entering. Once passed the nice lady most of the servers were pretty rude. After the meal I noticed on the menu that there are little stars next to the food notified that almost everything is FROZEN. The food wasn't good. We ordered a 4 cheese pizza, I could definitely make a better pizza myself and the lasagna was over cooked. Literally couldn't scratch it off the dish. read more

My husband ordered a combo meal that came with lasagna that was tasty, some pork dish that was okay, beer, espresso, and ice cream. The menu called it gelato but it tasted like soft serve. I had the caprese salad- it was flavorless with only a tiny piece of basil and I never received my drink. It took forever to get our bill too. They do have a great walk up bar to get takeaway drinks for $5 outside though and I do highly suggest checking that out. read more
