OleksiyJanuary 10, 2017Old & busy place, yet not enough worth to visit it - the waiters are brusque, food is ordinary, atmosphere nervous. If you want to relax and enjoy genuine roman food, better pass by.
Eyüp S. İblağJanuary 16, 2016A typical Italian restaurant for enthusiastic tourists. Smells so bad due to same fried olive oil all day long without replacement. Waiters treat you quite rude. Never book again. A big disappoinment.
Buford BarnesJanuary 18, 2018Frst opened its doors in 1906. Its spaghetti alla carbonara is a must-try, but other pleasing dishes are served from gnocchi and scaloppine to more adventurous coda alla vaccinara and tripe.
Elina KariApril 8, 2017their "notripadvisor" sign is a part of marketing because we were mainly among tourists. The owner (or manager) was no nice at all (we came 10 min early and asked for wifi password and were refused)
Angela W.February 24, 2019Pasta was pretty good, but honestly we had more fun with the bartender creating some amazing drinks before dinner - and treating us to a variety of amari after dinner!
Katerina VymetalovaMarch 30, 2017We had carbonara and it was good but we had definitely better. It is authentic atmosphere, we would say not very friendly for tourist. But we get it... many tourist means no authentic atmosphere :)
LaylaJanuary 10, 2019Such an authentic restaurant. Good carbonara, loved the amatriciana the most though!
Joel YeoJuly 15, 2015It was unfortunately disappointing for me. I had high hopes for the carbonara and what was served made me feel cheated. There was only a sliver of bacon and the pasta wasn't all al dente.- Eileen RiveraSeptember 11, 2014Best carbonara! Also amazing Ox Tail with such a good tomato sauce. Make reservations or you will get turned away.
Tom BlightMay 29, 2017Lovely restaurant with some basic, but very delicious, dishes. We especially appreciated the enthusiasm of the waiters 😀
Max v. BeustSeptember 23, 2014Great Roman food! Cacio and pepe is excellent. Extraordinary value for money.
Lili RuedaNovember 8, 2014Great place! And its name says it all . You must get Carbonara Pasta. And remember to make a reservation.
Carrie CMay 23, 2013Good food and service, didnt feel obviously like a tourist trap. Fettuccine was hand made but a little too thick, great flavours though. Try the Nebbiolo wine
Kico MeirellesDecember 22, 2011Excellent choice! Try the spaghetti carbonara and the fillets with rucula. Also look for the Nero D'Avila wine. Best meal in Italy until now!
Alex FragMarch 4, 2014Best pasta place, fairly cheap, many choices. The only con is that the menu is only in Italian
Andrzej PanJuly 25, 2013Good food compared to other italian restaurants but far away from usual European standarts I'm used too.seems just that's how they serve in Italy. No English menu but staff helps with translations
Emese GillotteJanuary 17, 2017authentic mood great pasta! honest price frequented by locals. would go back for sure!!
Rrawat FelknerApril 24, 2019Reserve table. Don’t just show up. The only reason we were able to book the table is because I went in at lunch time to see if that had any openings for dinner. Not worth the hype.
- Nooa OlaleyeJuly 13, 2014Was sceptic at first since honestly some of the high rated places here simply suck (panella service), but am a believer now. The pasta sauce was so incredible i still can't stop thinking of it.
One of the best typical italian restaurant in Rome...but not only good food, choose Matteo's Cocktails...he's a genius!- Lebriz AraciNovember 13, 2014Lively place. Great food. Polite and helpful staff. Value for money is incredible.
Eileen RooneyJanuary 27, 2014Great won't, pasta and dessert! Try the carbonara and chocolate orange muffin!
Muhammet GurlesinSeptember 15, 2016the best carbonara i've eaten <3 the steak was also very delicious.
Oscar GrunoFebruary 25, 2014Good food, worth trying to get a table. Pasta is very al dente. Staff seemed friendly enough. Very busy.
Thaisa LaffitteDecember 19, 2014The best Carbonara ever, my favorite meal after a couple of days in Italy. Must go!
Cigdem SungurNovember 27, 2016The meat, the Ssalad, the atmosphere, the location, the price were awesome!!
kaeun KwakFebruary 18, 2016Known for a great pasta, but honestly for me it was too salty (above Italian average saltiness). Maybe if you are just an average American tourist, ask for less salt!
JaniceMarch 5, 2015Definitely make a reservation, and don't mind the somewhat hipster attitude. All in all, great food and our server was great. Fresh pasta is a must!
Great food great staff and really good prices......this place is so worth a visit
Kamil SözenSeptember 22, 2012Strongly recommend this place. Their carbonara is by far the best i ve ever had.
Daniel DaveyJanuary 9, 2016Waiter decided to halve the portion size of his own volition. Ordered medium.... Got rare. Ordered fettuccine.... Got spaghetti It's like they like my orders are mere suggestions.
Thomas CraenenJanuary 30, 2016Aa the name of the place suggests, pasta Carbonara is the specialty of the house. It tastes fantastic. Be sure to make a reservation, or arrive extra early since many people want to eat here.
Nguyen-Anh LeMay 2, 2011Amazing spaghetti w/ anchovies, brain, and bone marrow. But get something better than il vino della casa...
- Artemis Acea GalatiMay 21, 2015If in Roma do not miss. Extremely polite and helpful service. Homemade pasta. Excellent wine selection. Do not miss. Traditional Italian experience. Since 1906..
- w wDecember 11, 2015The carbonara was good (7€). Reasonable price. Good value.18€ for 2 people with water and service charge. If you stay close you that area must try it.
