Nazrul BuangJanuary 13, 2017Food is AMAZING and portions are huge! Had the Tonnarelli Mari e Monti and a pizza (can't remember which one), and the portions are humongous! Very close to Roma Termini too. Better to come hungry!
Gina HsinOctober 3, 2016Went there twice while in Rome, absolutely loving it. Staff were very friendly and food are delicious. Would highly recommend for people want to try some local food
Constance | @croostifoodiNovember 5, 2018Bucatini all’amatriciana flambé are an absolute highlight! Sauce is amazingly tasty, however on the salty side. Venue is always very crowded but spacious, make a booking or you’ll wait a little bit.
Upvoted Feb 17- David SamuelsonJuly 16, 2019When you imagine going to Italia and fall into a genuine trattoria packed with locals on a weekday 22:30. Very nice staff, fast service and super cheap. And of course, food was delicious.
Berk ÖzgençApril 23, 2015Spagetti with clams and mushroom pizza is delicious! Very good taste and ambiance. Midyeli spagettisi ve mantarli pizzasi inanilmaz guzel. Ev yapimi beyaz saraplarida 10 numara! Rezervasyon sart!!!
Jennifer FayDecember 29, 2016Lovely pasta, great pizza, awesome bread! Make sure to be on time before they open at seven in order to get a table without reservation. Totally worth it! Super price quality ratio.
Gavin DouglasFebruary 15, 2017We sought this place out for their bucatini amatriciana flambé & were not let down. Very cheap & great authentic food. Not a tourist place, but always busy so make a reservation in advance. Loved it!
Elizaveta T.July 28, 2015Fav restaurant. Only Italians, crowded, book in advance:) #1, Pasta is delicious!!(seafood), as well as pizza! Even Caprese salad is heavenly good. Prices are heavenly good too
Jeremy GooiMay 10, 2016Bucatini amatriciana was a bit too al dente but sauce was creamy good esp with bread. The ox tail was tender, fall-off-the-bone & meaty, typical Roman dish as recommended by our cute server Alessandro
- SaraSeptember 26, 2019Delicious and affordable. Definitely a great find !! Flambé pasta €10 and house wine €3.50. Only con is that it's a bit too loud.
jenni tapanilaJuly 20, 2019pizzas & pastas are both tasty and prices very reasonable (7-12 euros each, 3.5 euros for 0.5 litre wine). however prepare to queue 15-30 min OR book beforehand. toilet is poor and wifi doesn’t work.
Stauros AstoMay 1, 2018Good prices good portions and nice white wine! Definitely try Bucatini all’ amatriciana flambé!!! It’s made inside a cheese in front of you!
Yuting XUJune 28, 2013The best spaghetti I've ever tried in Rome so far!! After a few weeks still miss it so much. The price is good when compared with the other restaurants. I want to try all the dishes on its menu. ;)- Anastasiia DemidovaOctober 26, 2016The best pizza I've tried in Rome. 4 cheeses - my love. Great atmosphere, good prices. Call them to order the table,because it's hard to find free place in the evening.
Pavel KorecMarch 24, 2019Amazing Bucatini all amatriciana flambe and Gnocehi al gorgonzola e funghi porcini. Very cheap and authentic food. Staff were very friendly.
Stavros VassosNovember 21, 2014Less fancy, but this place has some intense, pure Roman cuisine. Try the "focaccia con prosciutto e mozzarella" for appetizer, and the "amatriciana flambe" and "caccio e pepe" pasta dishes.
Aleš HronMay 12, 2014Hidden behind the corner but great place to visit walking hungry near pzza vittorio emanuele. They are locally known for pasta flambe but my tip is pizza contadina. Tough guys approach, nice place! :)
IshanOctober 3, 2015Definitely can't go wrong with the amatricana, though be warned the portions are large, and the dish heavy. Make a reservation if you're eating there past 8pm. Very reasonable!
Zeynep Ozturk OzyerJune 14, 2019The best tomato bruschetta! They have big portions, delicious food and cheaper than most of the places! Go early as locals are also visiting regularly here.
Michael B.April 20, 2019We searched this up while waiting for a train just about 15-20 min from Termini. One of the better lunch meals we’ve had in Rome and we’ve been here many times. Quality food. Really good!
Daphne BerikakiJuly 1, 2023Pasta flambé was amazing, the wine was fantastic, the bruschetta with olive spread was ok. Very good prices! Loved it!
Jessica RaeMay 22, 2014Their specialty is bucatini all’amatriciana which they flambe and mix it up in a pecorino wheel. Portion sizes are generous and dishes start at €9. reservations are highly recommended.
Marcello MarcheseJune 20, 2015I'm still drooling when I think of their amatriciana. Try also porchetta, mozzarelline fritte and fiori di zucca...delicious.
Miles NgJune 24, 2015Lively! Authentic Italian good. Come early as the place gets full very quick! YUMMY!!!!! Must try: Buscaniti Parmigiana!
- Kristina GromovaOctober 8, 2017Mushroom and gorgonzolla gnochi are so tasty!! Place is authentic and gets full quickly. Cheap house wine :)
Katerina SerethApril 2, 2017Excellent traditional italian trattoria...bucatini ala amatriciana to die for!must visit if you want to experience a real italian meal!not a touristic trap!
Dan CFebruary 4, 2019Don’t get the set menu. The flambé is fantastic but the second course is tripe and oxtail which was almost inedible. Just order from the normal menu and expect big portions.
Daniel GraysonApril 2, 2019The amatriciana is unreal. You’ll think you’ve entered a parallel universe where food is impossibly good.
Miro YAugust 28, 2020Forget the house wine (cheap but nothing special) but the pasta here are the best in Rome. Try truffle pasta, you won’t regret it! And don’t go there without reservation.
Catalina Vivancos SánchezNovember 10, 2017Excellent Cacio e Peppe!! Better get a reservation because otherwise you might wait for over an hour. Nice service, we had a good time :D
Alejandro HernándezJune 4, 2015'Bucatini all'amatriciana flambé' is a must stop before going to Termini (train station) an leave Rome. A-MA-ZING 🍝👏👏👏🇮🇹
Jane HolmesAugust 4, 2015amazing food! wine is soo cheap! make sure you call for table reservation as the place is always packed!
Polina MushchininaJune 28, 2015Very big portions, nice staff, tasty. It's great place for fun and for Italian atmosphere. In the evening you'd better book a table- LaurenceNovember 27, 2016The best restaurants to eat real Italian food and for cheap. Do not forget to book a table. It's full noon and evening.
Raul LeuskaMay 27, 2015Amazing place with great atmosphere, affordable prices, amazing Italian food and superb service.
Ishwarya VenkatachalamSeptember 19, 2018Best food in Italy!! The tiramisu is so tasty! And their house wine is really inexpensive (3.5 Euros for half a liter)
Lucas GurattiSeptember 18, 2017Just... go. Seriously. The amatriciana flambé is the best I had in my life. Make sure you're hungry, portions are big.
berrian pumaMarch 25, 2015Authentic Italian dishes are all good: artichokes, pasta caccio y pepe, mussels, tripe; all wonderful. Loved ambiance and service.
TC Aydın ToprakOctober 4, 2014Beef wirh Parmegiani cheese was great but try their specials first. Make sure that you have a reservation.
Alexander MykalMay 3, 2017Pasta, pizza, homemade vine. Very good service, but you need to make a reservation at least one day before- Balazs BozsogiApril 30, 2015awesome pasta, try the bucatini special! friendly staff, even when the place is busy
Maria BlDecember 2, 2015Best italian restaurant in Roma! Big portions, tasteful pasta, nice staff and reasonable prices! Recommended!
Maria PolymeriApril 18, 2015Perfect place, needs reservation.. Cheep and nice environment. See menu attached ;)
Ioannis IliadisJanuary 6, 2017If you like spaghetti flambé this is your place . No tourists here only Romans. Don't miss it !!
W MJanuary 25, 2014We went early on Friday night and were seated in a nearly empty dining room under the condition we be done eating by 9pm (it was 7:30pm). Service involved a lot of acting but food & price decent.
Dariia BerestokOctober 23, 2014Very tasty, real Italian food and atmosphere, good prices! It is better to book in advance, as usually overcrowded
Telma LampreiaMay 17, 2016The real Italian food and environment! Bucatini all'amatriciana flambé *****
