    Rigatoni with tomato sauce and bacon
    Qiu L.

    It's located pretty close to the Roma terminal, so it's catering to tourists. We didn't make a reservation and we got seated right away. The one good thing about restaurants in touristy areas is service is pretty fast if you don't want to wait for food for 2 hr plus. The quality of food is acceptable. The appetizers we had were pretty tasty. I don't think the pasta is freshly made. Suppli-7/10. The flavor is good but it would fill you up with just one. Anchovies appetizer-8/10; cheese and the dry tomato are so yummy. Anchovies is not enough in my opinion. Rigatoni all' amatriciani-6/10; didn't taste much bacon flavor with the sauce Fettuccine all a vaccinara-8/10; flavorful and pasta is cooked al dente It's overall good but nothing unique. You can have these kinds of Italian food in the US.

    We loved it so much we ate there twice on a recent visit to Rome. They accommodate walk ins but I recommend a reservation. The wait staff will make excellent recommendations. If they tell you the tonnarelli pasta is fresh, believe them. Order it. You will love it. The marinated salmon is a refreshing delight. We loved the carbonara and the cacio e pepe. The desserts are amazing - ask to see the choices. They sell out of some options. Great value. Beautiful and delicious representation of Italian cuisine. Superlative service with engaging personality. The staff takes pride in their work.

    A nice little place so close to our hotel, Hotel Gioberti. We were looking for a place to eat dinner as I wanted my first authentic Italian dinner to be good and so I used yelp. We were not disappointed! Servers were so warm and attentive. Food was delicious. Me and my husband had burrata with anchovy to share and it was the best burrata i ever had. The carbonara was al dente and delicious and the salmon was also good. Definitely a great first meal!

    My search for the best cacio e pepe lead me to this place. It's my first night in Rome and while I have other places further from my hotel on my list, this place did not disappoint. I had a glass of white wine, cacio e pepe, and ended with tiramisu. Everything was wonderful & reasonably priced. I showed up at 9pm without a reservation and everyone was kind and accommodating. I wasn't able to sit outside but the table inside was nice and quiet.

    5 stars even including the wait, Honestly didn't mind waiting because it was beyond worth it, when places are this good there always is a line. Food was so delicious and I can't say anymore because you must try for yourself. Shoutout to our server and all the workers because they managed the rush very well, making sure to seat people and get the food out fast (without loosing quality) The outdoor seating made it all more enjoyable, with the great location

    This was the best authentic Italian food we had all trip. The staff, the ambiance, the price point & the food was absolutely delicious!!! Our server, Tony, was amazing!!! He was funny, personable & he even picked & coursed out our meal. His selection was great & we loved all of it!!! The owner, Emmanuel was just as delightful & personable. If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. It's a must place to go too in Italy/Rome.

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

    10/10 across the board. Osteria da Fortunata is everything people say it is and more. I ordered the…read morecacio e pepe and OMG... hands down the best pasta I've ever had in my life. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
