Scampi alla griglia
Aurore A.

Every dish we had at Da Bucatino was simple and delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. The salad we had to start with with will be my new go-to... the pecorino cheese made for a perfect bite. We also enjoyed some bruschetta, pasta, and scampi alla griglia.

I come to Rome every 6 months for at least 3 weeks. I cone to da Bucatino at least 3 times esc visit. As my departure time gets closer, my visits here increase. The food is soooo good!! ...the sauce is the best I've had. Dont be intimidated by the intense, serious waiters... is part of the charm!

We visit it quite frequently, just for the simplest Roman pasta. Carbonara, Buccatino all'Amatriciano, Cacio e Pepe, sometimes, we also order Coda and other meat courses. more details on my blog: https://www.gustobeats.com/best-places-to-eat-in-rome-for-a-3-day-rome-itinerary/

Amazing Roman food! Service is well Roman so don't expect them to lick your Ferragamo boots! We had the mushroom and truffle pasta as the appetizer and then dug our way into the Roman tripe and Bakala with roasted potatoes finish it off with tiramisu and 2 cafes and we got wheeled out of the place.....

Mixed antipasti
Luca D.

As for many other traditional restaurants in Rome easy profit with tourists has sadly become a priority versus providing good quality. Food is still ok but it's plain sad to see so many of your certainties turn to dust over the years. The stuff on the antipasti buffet was old and tough, the pasta dishes were ok. Service is basic but friendly.

Pre-meal breads

I bit away from the touristy sections of Rome, 'twas a good find - this place is a corner restaurant a block back from main streets, has a nice laid back atmosphere, and decent service. House white wine was nice, very subtle - so .750ml kind of... disappeared somewhere. @_@ Now the rest of the dinner i can't remember.... (i kid i kid...) So Thursday night is gnocci night (says the menu) - enjoyed some good gnocci. Texture and flavor both. Shrimp risotto was great as well. The shrimp were pretty tiny, but the flavor was all there, I'd order this again. Finally, enjoyed the tiramisu. It was pretty good, though I think I was hoping for a bit more of a sweeter flavor, that's just a personal preference I spose. Overall - a great neighborhood option if you find yourself in this area of town

Bucatini alla Amatriciana
Casey T.

This is a no nonsense restaurant focusing on Roman cuisine, with a specialty in Quinto Quarto, roughly translated as the "fifth" quarter of the animal (entrails, trippe, etc.). This is typical of the more pedestrian class of Roman cuisine historically and forms an important and creative part of the current foodie oeuvre. This all sounds more risque than it actually is, so rest at ease: the food is very approachable and comforting. Lots of locals and definitely some foreigners, but they were foodies... Antipasto buffet: will not disappoint. I'm sure the selection changes daily as it changed during our self-served plating. PRIMI Bucatini Amatriciana: a house speciality, this dish is hearty, rich and amazing. Think hollowed out nintendo game controller cords (when they existed) cooked very al dente, with a tomato-based Amatriciana with huge chunks of pancetta/bacon that were super flavorful. Rigatoni w/ Carciofi, et al: this dish was somewhat disappointing, especially given the rec from our waiter. Possible reason was that the original pasta to be served with the sauce was not available...?.... SECONDI Coniglio alla Cacciatore: super good version of rabbit on the bone, cooked in the oven (al forno) with olive oil, garlic, and vinegar. This is one of the lighter options and is very well done. Coda alla Vaccinara: Oxtail braised in celery and tomato broth. Think lamb osso buco or braised beef stew. Very succulent, heavy stuff. I'd order it again, happily. All in all, an affordable peak into non-glamourous Italian/Roman cuisine. I like this place! side note: solid wine list.

Absolutely perfect. Great food and service. The GOAT in terms of Testaccio. Classic Roma food, with no BS or gimmick.

Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!

Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
