Antica Osteria da Andrea In Chiaravalle

21/04/2024: I had lunch at this restaurant, and I can consider myself satisfied. All the dishes on the menu are typical of Roman cuisine. I had the fried courgette flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies as an appetizer, a classic spaghetti carbonara as a first course, and tiramisu for dessert. All the food was excellent and super tasty, from the appetizer to the dessert. The carbonara was truly fantastic, on par with what I ate in Rome, and here in the area there are few that are as good. The only thing to point out is that, even in this restaurant, the unwritten rule according to which "the quality of the food is directly proportional to the price and inversely proportional to the quantity" applies. The food is indeed spectacular but, compared to average, the portions are a little smaller and the prices a little higher (€6 for the courgette flowers, €12 for the carbonara, and another €6 for the tiramisu). In short, it's not the restaurant to come to to binge eat. The environment is very beautiful. The restaurant is elegant and, being small and having few tables, it has an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Given the small number of tables, I personally recommend booking in advance. Friendly staff, and speed of service normal. I will probably return to this restaurant, and it is definitely worth a try.

17/02/2024: Small place with very minimal furnishings and just a few tables, excellent food although in my opinion I would have liked a little more generous portions, typically Roman dishes, friendly staff and a price a little higher than average. It cannot be reached by car but on foot as it is located in the center of the city. I gave 4 stars because if there had been more abundant dishes, a slightly larger place and with tables a little further apart, different furnishings, everything would have been perfect.
