While service was harried, they were still personable and efficient - the norm in this glorious country. I can't quite remember what we ate except for the squash blossoms and the puntarelle salad, but I know we left happy. So sophisticated, yet so warm, friendly and delicious at the same time. Longing to be back.

When we were planning our trip to Italy, we asked our son -- who had visited in the last year or so…read more-- what suggestions he had. He said, when you are in Rome, you HAVE to go to Osteria del Pegno. One of the best meals he had in Italy. He was right! What a fantastic meal. We had the beef carpaccio, lasagna, and a four cheese pizza. The restaurant is located on a side street, very quaint, and we did make a reservation. Good thing we did because they were busy from 7pm-9pm when we left. We were able to sit outside and the owner and his team were friendly and very accommodating. Price wise, for what we ate, I don't think it was too expensive....we were able to work off the calories by walking back to the hotel. Great place to eat!

I started with the spaghetti cacio e pepe which was over the top delicious. Delicate in presentation but bold in flavor. My dinner companion had the carbonara and as a secondi had the meatballs. All were very delicious. I would recommend a reservation as Rome was very quiet with many locals away for the weekend but the restaurant filled quickly by 8pm. They were sadly turning people away who did not have a reservation. When in Rome Trattoria Lilli is a must.

It was about a 20 minute ride from the central part of the city and nice to take the ride and be outside of city limits and the quietness of the neighborhood. I shared three pastas with my husband, the carbonara, all'amatriciana, and the cacio e pepe. I didn't expect the portions to be big and we couldn't finish them! They were all off the charts amazing and well worth it. I got a crazy idea to bring home the pastas because there was so much left over and it was so nice to eat them the next day where we got home! I loved that it was all local people from the neighborhood eating there. Definitely recommend and will be back again!

As for the food, they carry the local specialties so I went with the Gricia, delicious! I also ordered some Bruschetta to start off and I haven't had bread that good in a while! Super moist and delicious definitely seemed house made. For the ambiance, this is definitely a laid back casual spot with some locals. As I was eavesdropping overheard a lot of political chatter so it definitely seems like a spot they come to chat and unwind. I would definitely recommend and try out the wine list.

From Chicago and I feel really torn about this review. My daughter wanted to go here for dinner,…read moreand it was about a 3 km walk from our place. When we got here, they told us it was about an hour wait. I estimate they had about 150 people seated. It was a very fun crowd, raising glasses and toasting, singing happy birthday, very fun. We waited about 50 minutes for a waiter to take our order. I ordered cacio tre pepi, and I have it on good authority that it is a local favorite. We ordered some peach wine, and waited for our food. Our waiter had a sweet handle bar mustache and was quite a character. But the service (2/5) overall was not good. A couple things we ordered did not come out right, and we were given someone's spinach meal. The complimentary bread came out, but with no olive oil. If this review was only for the cacio tre pepi, it would be a 5-star review. The dish was superb! But too many gaffes to give with integrity more than 3.

Admittedly, I may have caught them on an off night. This was recommended to me by some locals as a…read moregreat place for a meal of typical Roman style cuisine. It was a 20 min walk from the Opera area and Google Maps had some difficulty in routing a correct walking route, so beware. They don't have a true bar to sit at as a solo diner so they did not seem happy to take me as a walk-in since I was going to burn one of their coveted 2 tops for a single person. They did sit me at the door which did have a nice view of the action from the front of the house. Once I sat, I noticed that all the servers were stereotypical young Italian males that did a really nice job in taking care of the tables with ladies present. Unfortunately, my table was not in that demographic and despite me literally sitting in the runway of the main path to the kitchen, bar, and host stand, I seemed to languish as if I wasn't even there. I eventually was able to flag someone down who took down my order. I ordered a cocktail that never arrived along with their Carbonara and some Roman Tripes as a main. After 20 min, I asked about my drink and the server did apologize and owned up to completely forgetting about it. The server felt bad and offered to get me a beverage immediately. Since food was coming out, I told him to forget the cocktail and he suggested a glass of wine. I took him up on the suggestion thinking he was doing so intending to comp it for his forgetfulness but that was not the case and I was charged for it. The Carbonara was tasty but I had better at several spots around Rome (this pasta was underdone, almost crunchy in some spots which made me stop and think that texturally it did not seem like house-made pasta). The Tripes were on par with where I had them at other places. Things then reverted back to my table being akin to the Isle of Lost and it took me another 25 min to get someone's attention to bring me the check. All told, dinner took me almost 100 minutes as a single diner with a forgotten drink, substandard pasta, and after-the-fact service. The place was full of neighborhood people and not tourists so it simply might be that I was not entitled to as great an evening as the locals or I simply caught them at a time that really threw them off. I really couldn't tell and it really doesn't matter. Either way, in this town where there are so many great local spots to get a professionally served, deliciously authentic meal, I did not experience this to be one of them. While this may be one of them on a good night, I'm not inclined to come back to try to figure that out.
