We were in Rome and what's more we notice several locals that ate there multiple times.

    Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing from start to finish. After traveling all day,…read morewe arrived for an early dinner, between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. as Yelp showed the restaurant was open. We were met by the owner, who, while allowing us to come in, was noticeably unfriendly and came across as rude, which set a negative tone for the meal. We chose this restaurant because of the outstanding Yelp reviews, especially the praise for the pasta dishes. One of the main reasons we ordered the Cacio e Pepe was because several reviews described it being prepared in an authentic cheese wheel. That was not our experience. It was not prepared as expected, and spinach had been added to the dish even though it was not shown in any of the photos we had seen beforehand. Because of that unexpected ingredient, our daughter wouldn't eat it, which was very disappointing. We also ordered the spicy chicken, and it was, unfortunately, the worst chicken my husband and I have ever had. It contained a lot of bones, was extremely fatty, with very little meat, and was simply unpleasant to eat. Considering the quality of the food, the discrepancy between what was advertised and what was served, and the unfriendly service, we did not feel the meal was worth the price. We left disappointed and would not return or recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

We were not sure what to expect on our first visit but we surely left the place after eating all our food. The Aglio, Olio, Pepperoncino spaghetti and ox tail soups were great. The garlic was well infused in their dish as well. The owner, Roberto was very gracious as well as the waitress that helped us. It was indeed a pleasure dining in this restaurant and we will definitely be back the next time we visit Rome.

    Aglio Orio e Peperoncino (translates something like Garlic, Oil, and Chili, I was told) is an…read moreauthentic restaurant with Roman cuisine located on Via della Magliana in the countryside of Rome. This is a real local trattoria type of place, quite cozy, certainly less touristy, a quiet and comfortable restaurant frequented by locals. If you want to experience real Italian homemade cooking, this is where you come. We were greeted and seated right away. Aglio Orio e Peperoncino not only sounds romantic, it has also very much welcoming ambience inside, with friendly and efficient service. Wall decor includes large photos of famous Italian cinema icons like Anna Magnani, Monica Vitti, Alberto Sordi, and Marcello Mastroianni. I've got a vague understanding of their menu and gathered that your dinner options here vary greatly depending on the alignment of many factors, owner's creativity included. Just like home, already! -:) If available, you have to order Ossobuco here. It's braised veal shanks mixed with veggies and sautéed in white wine (in Bianco) or with tomatoes and carrots (which turns out a completely different dish, in my humble opinion). We had white version and loved it. It's hearty and delicious! I've got no photos because of the connectivity issues and discharged phone battery, as I also use my phone for work and conference meetings, sorry - maybe next time.
