    Nice little restaurant near the train station. The carbonara was quite good. The supplì all right. The waiters don't speak English well so that's probably a good sign it's authentic, but also a lot of patrons aren't Italian and there is some English on the menu. Still, if the food's good. Waiters are friendly and helpful. Brought all the seasonings for you to add. The food was ready relatively quick. Though at the end, the waiter brought the check for a different table. A minor mistake but if I hadn't checked I would've paid much more

    Rigatoni with tomato sauce and bacon

    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.

    Ravioli filled cod with lemon sauce

    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

Everything about the experience was superb--from the attentive and friendly service to the exceptional quality of the food. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the level of excellence provided. Pastas were a real standout. Tiramisu was amazing. If we had stayed in Rome longer, we would have definitely gone back. I highly recommend 44 Osteria to anybody who loves food that is visiting the city!

The bread basket was delicious served warm with amazing crust. The pasta was a tad undercooked but was the best tasting sauce ever. The melon sauce entirely new and never seen of heard of before. They took "summer melon" which I was told was cantaloupe. It was cut into 1/8 inch teeny tiny cubes and simmered for a long time until very soft and the sweetness a little washed out. It was sooo good. The braised beef was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delectable and the sides were great. The mozzarella and tomato was amazing too. Perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes were conscientiously sliced. 1000% suggest this restaurant

    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.

    The service here is so amazing and quick! The atmosphere of this restaurant is very clean,…read morewelcoming, and comfortable. Food is literally so delicious and every single meal I had was unreal. Totally recommend this restaurant!

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

    It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
