Agustarello In Roma

For the quality and authenticity of the food, we spent very little (including water and wine). It's typical Roman cuisine, refined dishes from the Roman tradition and easy to find; after all, Agustarello has always been a reliable choice. It's a shame space is so limited; book well in advance, even in the middle of the week!

Very sweet waitress and delicious local food. We recommend the sweetbread.

A delightful discovery, a typical Roman trattoria serving traditional Roman dishes. We tried all the specialties: pasta, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, etc. Traditional main courses and desserts... Everything is a must-try. The staff in the dining room are courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable, but not intrusive... BRAVI! Everyone in the kitchen deserves a gold medal. If you're in the area, definitely try it.

We chose this restaurant to eat offal. Roman-style tripe and grilled sweetbreads were excellent! The service was pleasant, and we had a very good time.

We stopped by for lunch because it’s close to where we are staying. It’s a small restaurant and the menu has local dishes that feature organ meats. We got the artichoke hearts and bruschetta for appetizers and Rigatoni alla Carbonara, Rigatoni alla Amatriciana and Rigatoni al sugo di Coda alla Vaccinara. They were all delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned and delivered steaming hot to our table. The service was excellent and the waitress knew some English, which helped. The menus were also in English. The ox tail was tender and the gravy a luscious brown, the Carbonara had crispy pieces of “bacon” and a sumptuous egg and cheese sauce that coated the pasta, the Amatriciana was an excellent thick tomato sauce with bits of pork jowl giving it a meaty pork flavor. All were dressed with a sprinkling of Pecorino cheese. We had the house red wine which was a Merlot. Overall it was a fabulous meal and generous portions at a good price and I highly recommend it.

Typical Roman restaurant with good and abundant dishes

Authentic Roman and Romanesque cuisine. We recommend the rigatoni with pajata—perhaps with a side of pajata—and the oxtail stew. Today (April 2019) I returned with friends from out of town, and it was a lesson in Roman tradition... I've been back many times, and I must say nothing has changed. One thing I hadn't mentioned before is that—something not always common these days—the host himself is the chef and personally prepares the dishes he serves. The efficiency and friendliness of the service also deserves special mention.

Just because they kept bringing water with the wine, it deserved a star 😂, I'm joking of course. The food, location, and staff are excellent. The price is fair, the only downside is the parking.

Another Temple of Roman Cuisine

Authentic Roman cuisine in Testaccio. I've been eating at Agustarelllo for years whenever I can, and every time it's a thrill. Chef Sandro (or Oste, as he prefers to be called) keeps Roman culinary traditions alive, based on flavor and a daily selection of fresh ingredients. The pasta dishes, oxtail stew, artichokes, and other seasonal side dishes are a must-try. Unforgettable flavors. I recommend booking for the weekend.
