It was our last dinner in Rome and we had a great meal! Started off with their award winning tomato and mozzarella salad. I can see why it's award winning now. The ingredients were super fresh and the salt and olive oil really brings out the freshness and sweetness. Just excellent. We had the tagliolini pasta with white truffles to share. It was a whopping 55€ which I thought was on the pricey side, especially for the portion size. That said, it was really delicious and I savored every bite of it. The burger was well composed and came with foie gras in it which made it super rich. It was also an enormous burger. The grilled octopus was good too. Truffle fries was crispy on the outside, soft inside. They didn't skimp on the truffle oil which was nice. Ended our meal with the hazelnut gelato with olive oil and black truffle. I felt like the truffle didn't add that much to this dessert to be honest. Though the hazelnut gelato itself was really good and worked well with the olive oil and salt. While the food is absolutely delicious, I wouldn't say the price tag is totally worth it... so just be prepared to splurge here. That said, I'll probably return again! read more

We were receded and attended very professionally. The place is on the street, but the food and choices of the entrées were

I came here for a quick lunch and was very happy with my tagliolini with white truffles. Not only was the sauce full of truffle flavor, there were also shaved truffles on top. Pasta dishes were on the smaller side for the price compared to similar ones in the area, but very flavorful (as a truffle pasta should be). read more

Intro: After taking a stroll in the area, we were looking for a place to have dinner and came across Tartufi & Friends. It looked nice from the outside so we perused the menu and decided to stay. Ambiance (4.5/5): Like most restaurants in Italy, al fresco dining is the way to go. Which is what we did. However, if you'd like to sit inside, you'll enjoy the elegant setting. I saw it when I went to the bathroom (which was clean, by the way). Service (4.5/5): Service in Europe tends to be subpar. This isn't the case here. All of the waiters were friendly and they took care of us efficiently. It was a nice surprise. Drinks (4/5): We ended up ordering a nice bottle of wine. This place is upscale so it isn't cheap but we enjoyed it. Food (4/5): If the name isn't a giveaway, they specialize in truffles. Which also means it's not going to be cheap. I'm not a fan of truffles so I passed but my dining companion tried it with her pasta and she enjoyed it. I went with the lamb and potatoes instead. Relatively small portions and the lamb was a bit too fatty. Other than that, a solid dish. I was just expecting a little more at the price point. Overall: If you're looking for an elegant meal, Tartufi & Friends is a nice spot to check out in Rome. I think it's a bit overpriced but the experience is a good one. read more

So good we went back a second time in the same week! We recently visited Rome and a friend recommended this restaurant because I mentioned I love truffle. The food was fresh, delicious, and the temperature of the food was great! You have to try their award winning Mozzarella di búfala. OMG!!! Delicious! The burrata was outstanding also and the tomatoes were naturally sweet and just delicious. The pastas were great with added black truffle. We also enjoyed the fish and the beef filet w/ foie gras was good. I've had better filet Mignon. There's could use more seasoning but no complaints with the cut of meat. The service both times we went was stellar! The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. Sit outside if you go, the ambiance is really nice and relaxing. Overall a solid 4.5 out of 5. read more

Great dining experience in Rome. So, I have been on a truffle mission ever since we did a truffle hunting tour outside of Florence. You can say that I am obsessed. So as we walked past this lovely restaurant, the smell was so amazing, we had to try it. I had the signature pasta dish with freshly shaved truffle. The pasta was delicious. We also ordered the bread and truffle butter appetizer. Wow pretty much sums it up, also very tasty. The service was good, I would recommend. read more

I love truffles and found a restaurant based on it! We went here for lunch while visiting The Spanish Steps. The weather was very nice so we decided to sit outside. The restaurant is very pretty, I would describe as understated elegance. Other than how classy the place looks, one of the first things you will notice is the aroma of truffles wafting through the air. Wonderful! Let me start by saying the pasta with truffle dish was absolutely amazing. My wife and I agreed the best pasta dish so far in our trip here to Rome and that's saying a lot! We should have just ordered multiple dishes of this. Everything non pasta was only okay to pretty good. That is why the rating is a 4 instead of a 5. They certainly don't skimp with their shavings of black truffle! If you're a truffle fan, give this restaurant a shot and order the truffle pasta! read more

What an amazing restaurant! We happened to be walking by and decided to have dinner there. They seated us quickly and the service was fantastic. I had the pork carbonara and onion soup. I savored every bite! We sat outside which was very nice! The owner came by our table and chatted with us for a while. If you are in Rome, this is a must go to!!! read more

I was excited to stop by when my friend told me about a restaurant that specialized in utilizing truffles on basically everything. Although l, the restaurant is on the smaller size, they definitely have a swanky interior and an even better outdoor dining area. We started with the beef tartare, which you tell was extremely fresh. However, freshness aside it was rather bland even with the herb butter. I personally would've prefer for the tartare to be directly seasoned and seasoned well. The same can be said for the beef carpaccio and the parmigiana spinach. After the tartare we started on the octopus which was just ok to me. It was cooked well, however the bed of sauce soaked croutons on which it was placed was "meh". The beef fillet wasn't seasoned enough, however I'm assuming that they did this initially to combat the richness of the fois gras. The lamb; although cooked perfect as well was only mildly warm and the herb crust didn't have the crunch that I was looking for. We then had the sea bass which was initially undercooked. However, after we received a new order I must say that it was delicious and a 5/5. The zucchini cream was divine and the crispy zucchini flower to die for and a perfect combo with the moist sea bass. The other show stopper of the meal was the risotto with porcini mushrooms that we topped with black truffle. Dare I say that it was a 6/5. However, after the first few hiccups we weren't particularly interested in wasting good truffles of mediocre food. So sadly our truffle journey began and ended with the delicious risotto. read more

An absolute gem! The location, ambiance, and especially the food are outstanding. The staff is kind and elegant. Although pricey, their signature "classic" tagliolino with fresh truffle is worth a visit... or two... or more! You'll thank me later! read more

Came here after yelping a few places near the Spanish steps. You should definitely come here if you want good foods and don't have a reservation. Unfortunately, they only seat people inside the restaurant with reservation. The classic truffle pasta was delicious. It was rich in truffle oil and the fresh truffle they shaved in. The fish was on the smaller side but it was moist. I'll definitely recommend people to try this place out. read more

An amazing establishment with great food and staff. The place smelled amazing and the ambience was "smooth". The truffles in all of my courses were well put together. The buttered toast had black truffles and the toast was super crispy. The octopus had a white truffle sauce and apple slices that added some tart in the dish. The tiramisu was fresh and creamy. This was a top notch place I recommend to anyone looking for a "welcome to Rome" spot! read more

The Best place for Truffles, Foie Gras, and Steak. Do not pass this restaurant up if you like truffles or want to try truffles for the first time. They give generous amounts of truffle shavings and that really helps you taste them. Just look at the pictures! Truffle shavings everywhere! We found this restaurant walking near the Spanish steps. Foie Gras is one of my wife's favorite dishes so we had to try it. Everything we had was great tasting and perfectly cooked. Most of the dining is outside. The location is much quieter than most of the restaurants in Rome. Not many vehicles can go on the street. I recommend dressing up in business casual although it's not required. Most of the people dining around us at the time were well dressed. We were able to get a table outside without a reservation. The service was pretty good. The one downside is the single small bathroom. It will definitely be a place we will revisit if we decide to go to Rome again. read more

Quite a good spot! Excited to try truffle for the first time and it did not disappoint. Service was the best of our trip in Rome- attentive and helpful. Only complaint is my dish (Carbonara) could have used slightly more pepper, but all and all an amazing experience. Great food, wine, and dessert! read more

I arrived to Rome on Saturday 17.12 morning, and all I wanted is to have a nice Carpaccio, sadly and surprisingly no Italian restaurant had it, on Wednesday evening of the same week while we were doing our last shopping before we leave to Vince, I saw this restaurant, I was dazzled by Domenico, who gave me no chance but to sit and order, I was fascinated by the his sparking eyes when the restaurant filled up, I could see how excited he was, I made my order and then as time passed by as I realized how perfect is the whole team, I suddenly felt comfortable and at home, everyone with no exception was super friendly, professional, passionate about their restaurant, the priceless delicious food and menu, In addition to Domenico, I cannot not say thank you to Matteo, Omar, Nicholas and Pier Andrea. Until the icing on the cake came to my table and I met Alberto, the Manager and the captain of this classy, elegant and very fine dinning place, I was fascinated with his knowledge of my culture, we discussed religion, politics, culture and customs, his intellectuality was above and beyond, it made everything connected, tasty and just feels better. I don't think anyone should visit Rome without eating there, I would call it a sin. I'm sorry I did not know this heavenly place before but I will defiantly not miss it again. read more

Was very good! Food was fresh And delish! Hubby got pasta with truffles. The guy came to table to slice fresh truffle on his pasta. He kept going. I asked if we are supposed to say when. The waiter laughed and kept slicing. It was tasty but not overpowering. I got burrata salad and it too was fresh and crisp. Oh - the bread and butter with truffle was excellent also! A little stronger truffle taste but not too much. We sat outside and was a nice breeze. Not too loud and no one was smoking- but we just got lucky. Would def recommend if you like truffles. read more

Tartufi&Friends is a great choice for dinner in Rome. The food, service and ambiance is very good. We started with the bruschetta appetizer and followed with the pasta carbonara. It was the best carbonara I had on this trip to Rome. The carbonara had a peppery taste which was excellent. The tagliatelle with white truffle I tried was also excellent. The Brunello wine was a great complement. Alberto, the maitre was very personable. read more

Food was delicious, but the small portions and price point isn't worth it in my opinion.

The food was wonderful. Tortellini was the best ever I ate. The family also enjoyed the pastas. I would come back again!

Every dish can have fresh truffles shaved on if, you can smell the glorious mushroom scent as you sit down!!! Lovely restaurant near the Spanish steps, excellent service, and the food was delicious. I had the tuna tartare with fresh truffles, and it was a revelation, so delicious with the sesame aioli. I also had a dish of toast with a Parmesan cheese sauce and a perfect poached egg and of course truffles! More pricy than the usual tourist fare but much less than a similar meal would cost in the states, worth every penny! read more

We had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment during our recent trip to Rome. We asked our hotel concierge to recommend restaurants where we could get white truffles (in season now) and Tartufi & Friends was #1 on the list. They are located in the city center, within walking distance to just about everything so we accidentally passed by while walking back from the Spanish Steps. We decided to have dinner there and enjoyed a wonderful meal! We started with the burrata, honey and truffle. Fantastic. Just the right amount of salty and sweet to compliment the white truffles. For dinner we split orders of the "Classic" and "Nostro". Pasta with butter and truffle and cacio e pepe with truffle. Both were excellent. Fresh pasta cooked perfectly and plenty of truffle. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We decided on the spot that we would take some truffles home to share with friends. They were very accommodating, understanding that we needed them as fresh as possible to give us time to invite friends and family to share them. As promised, they arrived fresh from Milan the day before we flew home and packaged them in glass jars to ensure freshness. If you live for truffles, there isn't a better place in the city to eat them or to bring them home from. read more

Omg truffles. Truffles gives you life. Authenthic, fresh, big pieces of truffle at Tartufi & Friends. It's my first experience at a restaurant solely revolving around truffles. Every dish, no matter how big or small, had truffles incorporated into it. From appetizers to pasta entrees and even desserts. It also had a cute store front area where you can purchase the sauces, oils and other products they use in house. I confess I bought a bottle of truffle oil and a jar of their porcini truffle sauce to take home. They also ship if you have no more luggage space. The prices are not as extravagant as one may think. On to the food. I had freshly shaved black truffle on bruschetta with different toppings from pomodoro tomatoes to olive pate to porcini truffle cream. Each piece was unique and tasted vastly different than the others. My favorite was the tomato one. Also, had the truffle Cacio E Pepe. Wow. Just needed to take a minute after the first bite to let the rich taste of black truffles sink in. The noodles were nice and thin. It was just the right amount of pepper to cheese. The portion was just right too. read more

This was a truly disappointing experience. I don't even know where to begin. We spent €240 to start. Got a nice bottle of wine which was beautifully presented in a decanter. The appetizer was a cheese board. The cheese was nothing special. The honey was amazing. Second course was a truffle pasta for me and a shrimp salad for my fiancé. Had to send the salad back once because the shrimp wasn't cleaned. Had to send the second salad back because it was way too fishy and tasted rotten. My truffle pasta was very bland. I'm not exaggerating, I used half the salt shaker and a third of the pepper shaker to try to make it better (that didn't work). Entrees were the eggs with truffle for her and the lamb chops for me along with lemon spinach. The eggs were two plain eggs in a cast iron with shaved truffle on top (absolutely bland and no thought to it). My lamb chops were grey, fatty, and had no flavor. The potato's that it came with were simple awful. The spinach looked like it was dehydrated. They gave us a lemon wedge for the "lemon" part of the dish. Again, no thoughtfulness. It seemed like it was the chef's first day on the job. They tried to make up for it by giving free cannoli at the end, which we didn't touch. Hopefully my fiancé doesn't get sick from the shrimp salad. Very beautiful ambiance but again very disappointing all around. Do not recommend. Definitely will not visit again. read more

Really amazing food with an amazing staff. If I'm ever back in Rome, will definitely stop by. Thank you Tarfuti & Friends

We had a delicious dinner last night at Tartufi & friends - the food tasted great but the good experience was short lived - both my husband and I came back and had food poisoning last night. Just a warning to those dining here, it doesn't seem to be the first case this week based on another recent review...we had the truffle butter and bread, truffle risotto and a pasta with truffle. Not sure if it was the dairy or truffle that was contaminated, but just fyi. It's unfortunate because otherwise we really enjoyed the ambiance and experience here. read more

Our favorite restaurant In Rome! The food was amazing, and so was the staff. It was absolutely delish!!

I do not recommend!! We were there on Sept 8, ordered a dish with a white truffle and it turned out to be rotten and stale. We got terribly ill, vomited all night and had diarrhea, what spoiled our long-awaited trip to Rome. After pointing out to both the waiter and the manager that the truffle did not taste as it should, the menager(or host) told us that everything was ok. Once again, I do not recommend! read more

Stellar experience. I came out of this restaurant Truly overjoyed. Tartufi pleases more than just the palate. Your soul and spirit will be lifted after trying their delicious, magnificent plates. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, specially considering that this location is rather small. The outside tables are remarkably comfortable (they also include blankets, in case one feels cold). In terms of their menu: Extensive, creative, attractive and 'truffly'. Their appetizers, aperitivos and main plates were all memorably delicious. The highest, most memorable note was the pasta: Tartufi Signature Cacio e Pepe! Without a doubt, among the best I have had in Italy. The wine list is also well composed. The wait staff courteous, gentle and attentive. Aristotle referred to Truffles as the sacred fruit of Aphrodite. After eating at Tartufi, I can see how and why. read more
