They write "homemade pasta" ,but they use just regular pasta.. I saw a lady who worked in the bar. She add tap water on the water bottle Do not buy a bottle water . They just fill with tap water I saw through a mirror. Also if u order red wine, they gonna give from plastic bottle . Not from a glass bottle...

Penne with spinach and chicken

Everything was so so delicious! This place is the "pasta" version of Giovanni Pizzeria which is on the street front, while Trattoria is tucked in the back through a little path/alley. We sat down in Pizzeria at first and when we saw the menu without pasta, we started to get up to leave, the waitress said, "pasta?" and pointed to this place in the back. Such a good move. My parents and I each got our own pasta and a quattro formaggio pizza to share--SUCH a good decision, truly one of the best pizzas of my life. Can definitely taste the brie, and the crust is so delicious. You can dip the crust in the dripping cheeses, and boom--heaven! I couldn't stop eating the pizza, even when my waistband and logical mind were resisting. My mom got the linguine with shrimp and she said it was one of the best pastas of her life as well. Maybe we are a hyperbolic family, I'm not sure. But nonetheless, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, my brother got the margherita pizza, my dad got the gnocchetti with shrimp (baby gnocchi! so cute), and I got the penne with chicken and spinach in a creamy parmesan sauce. All the pastas cooked were perfectly al dente, and with a dash of red pepper (not too much though, it was pretty spicy, and we are Pakistani), and more than a dash of shredded parmesan, they were close to perfect meals. The server was very kind and welcoming and the service was great. Definitely would recommend, if looking for Italian in Prague. My brother was very smug and pleased with himself that he chose this restaurant. I'll hand this one to him, he did well.

Fantasia pizza was spectacular. Followed by the chicken spinach penne for me and the seafood pasta for my husband. We loved it all. Beers are huge. Limited wine list. Service was ok so I took a star away. Not vey interested in helping or interacting with customers.

Delicious custom veggie pizza with red sauce (no cheese) and onions, mushrooms, and garlic. It was divine... Yum!

The waitress was friendly, attentive and kind to the eyes while the couple a few feet away enjoyed their wide selection of wines and aperitifs. (I told them I was proud of their public display of joy!) My italian friends from Florida remarked on the traditional ambiance and downright homey feel of the place. Make a reservation, as the place filled on a Monday. Then, dig in, and dig it yourselves!

We visited GamberoRosso again for the second time in three days because it was solid…read more My husband loved how we switched out the truffle risotto with spaghetti here. So we came again to satisfy his cravings. We ordered the Margherita pizza to share as our appetizer and only finished half but it was soooo good. Simple and delicious with fresh basil leaves garnish. Something unusual happened on this evening . There was a power outage for a while but I need to say... the staff handled it very smoothly , assuring diners that things will be ok soon. They were calm. We were more than confident , staying put and enjoying ourselves. Dishes came out quickly . There were LED lights on the table already and so we didn't skip a beat. Great place all around! We will be back!

I had the tagliolini with beef. The pasta itself was good, but the beef was unseasoned and bland…read more(1 star off). The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

Wow! This restaurant was a stumble upon as I walked around the area wanting to see Prague from the…read moreother side of the river and to catch the Lennon Wall. It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!
