Appetizers, baby calamari and pumpkin flowers
Hugo M.

Rome , the eternal city, is filled with tourist, even a low season like March. Service is the best, every waiter, bus man, Maitre , all of them always with the right attitude to their guests. Food is great and unique touch that made every appetizer and main course something to remember. The climatized terrace in a quiet Piazza de San Simeone is the las touch to make it special. So, for us it was one of the best experiences we had in this busy metropolis I will go back

We were thinking lobster tail( American Italian pastry) , but this was superb !!

Delicious! Amazing ! Finally, first good meal In Rome !!! I love yelp, but in Europe you can be fooled ! Tourist traps have 4.5 star reviews with horrible food and here is this gem with 32 reviews !! If not for this restaurant I might have gone back to New York and told people we have better Italian food. Have to admit, we came from the Jewish ghetto( I did not make up the name, it's the area). We tried a highly recommended restaurant there-Tourist trap, not good . We came to taverna Agape not super hungry, but OMG!!! The only thing that would have made our experience better was Luciano Pavarotti singing in the background! Bravo, ragazzi!!! Molto bene!!!

Wonderful evening sitting outside and enjoying the meal and atmosphere. We were well taken care of and the food was delicious and the service excellent. We enjoyed some nice wine , bruschetta , fried artichoke heart to start. Then we each had a bit of pasta carbonara (delectable) and a pasta with meat perfectly herbed and spiced, the pork with apple was also delicious but a tad over cooked. The best tiramisu so far ! Loved the limoncello and port type drink they brought us after dinner!

Came here with two local friends late on a weeknight; they had made a reservation. We got outdoor seating near a fan which was critical for a hot evening. I had the giant beans and then the carbonara pasta. My friends ordered the zucchini flowers and the mushrooms. Hands down the best mushrooms I have ever had in my life. Wow. So much flavor and an interesting texture. The carbonara was amazing and worth every calorie! I liked the beans a lot. They weren't mushy and the menu described them well - with a hint of vinegar. Service was perfect. Bathrooms were clean. I broke my golden rule. The rule: "Never, I repeat never, eat at the same restaurant twice in one vacation." First, it won't be as good. Second, you are missing something else. But I wanted my other cousin to try the carbonara. The rule is wrong. The second meal was equally delicious. The waiter, Vito, said, "trust me" as he lead me to the ice mound of fresh fish and shellfish. And he said if didn't like it, I didn't have to pay. OMG. When he came it check on me, i held up my hand and said, "don't talk to me, I'm eating the best meal!" Wow. I inhaled that plate. One of the best meals of the trip. They also gave us a thing to hang our purse from the table- perfect souvenir that I used the rest of the trip.

Pasta with shaved black truffle

THIS IS A TOURIST TRAP. The food is delicious, the ambience is lovely, the service is impeccable, but the prices were outrageous! The waiter was friendly and outgoing, but he tried to sell me a €350 bottle of wine. I "settled" for a €155 which was good, but not worth the price. The oysters were €4.5 each and a fresh snapper, large enough to serve three people was €115! Make sure you ask about the market price before you order! Two plates of sautéed mushrooms were €50 (delicious but not THAT good!) The only reasonably priced dish was the pasta with fresh shaved black truffle. €350 for a three person LUNCH excluding tip (which you don't give anyway) There is just as good food to be had in Rome at much more reasonable prices. And to top it off, the waiter had the nerve to ask me to leave a tip -- no other server during my entire vacation in Rome asked me for a tip! I will NOT be coming back here!

Ask for the Lasagna - you won't be disappointed

Stopped here with a reference from our tour guide and we were not disappointed. So good. One way to describe our experience -"mama mia". Ask for the lasagna and the house wine with the fresh bread. Plan to sit and take in the breathtaking view - perhaps take up a conversation with a nun or a monk, there was a number sitting around us. Just 3 blocks or so from the Vatican. Come here to escape the crowd and be blessed in the richness of Rome.

Wine, ambiance, patio
Jean Z.

First dinner in Rome was marvelous. Very close to where I'm staying and plan to come back regularly. I had bruschetta which was a unique take on what I'm used to- so very much appreciated. Then I had Cacio e Pepe and tiramisu. Did not disappoint, hospitality was amazing.

Radicchio salad w pear & blue cheese

This is consistently one of my favorite places to dine in Rome! The service is always polite and kind. The servers speak enough English, and you cannot beat eating outside in the piazza. I originally found it when I started nearby in the neighborhood. There is always a crowd of both tourists and locals with great taste having the servers bring out dish after dish of delicious looking food. I recommend the pasta gricia, although I have enjoyed many appetizers and pastas there. Dessert and coffee and amari are always great!

View from our table.

We came here because it was in a quiet plaza and we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and wonderful service. I had the carbonara and loved it. My friend had the meatballs and really enjoyed them. Will definitely be back.

Not glazed creme Brulee. Tested the top with my fork and it just went right through. Super disappointed.
Lana S.

Awful experience with overpriced and awful food. If I could give zero stars I would! Avoid immediately when trying to find a place to eat! We went to this restaurant by mistake since we thought it was the restaurant with the 'best tiramasu in Rome'. We we walked up and asked the waiter for a table he stared us up and down and said 'oh there is a 15 min wait'...even though there was clearly a table for two outside and Noone was waiting for a table...just us. We think the waiter didn't like the look of us from the beginning since we weren't dress fancy like most people there. We should have left but thought it was the 'best tiramasu' place. We wait for 20 mins then he finally seats us since we didn't go away. We sit down and got greeted by our waitress who was nice and brought us water and a glass of presecco. Okay cool. The rude waiter guy comes over and we said we just wanted to order dessert and he got super rude and said we couldn't do that and we had to order a meal then dinner. We said fine and was about to pay for the water and walk away. Our waitress came back and said oh its okay you guys can order dessert. ( I wish we would have left). So I ordered a creme Brulee and my husband order tiramasu. My creme Brulee is the most disgusting thing I've ever had. It was not made properly since there were still grains of sugar on top that was not glazed over like it's suppose to be. Tiramasu was also awful. We paid 22 euros for both plus water. What a complete rip off...oh and that waiter came by and was like looks like it's your lucky night (since we were able to order just dessert). Such a horrible dining experience. I will never come back here and will tell others to avoid this place. There are better restaurants with better prices and better food.

Lobster flambé was perfectly cooked with right combination of seasonings. A must have for two!

Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!

It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
