We stumbled into Alvaro Al Circo Massimo on our last night in Rome… turned into a night we will never forget. This restaurant is 3 generations of family. The atmosphere is authentic Italian and feels like you’re in someone’s cozy kitchen!! The food was delicious, the service was exceptional and the family that owns the restaurant was warm and inviting and made us feel right at home! We just had the best time. Thank you Angelo and Gianmarco! (Favorite dishes were the caprese salad, ravioli special, spaghetti with clams and spaghetti with lobster sauce.) You must end the night with the limoncello dessert - amazing!

Authentic Roman restaurant with mostly local clientele. Nonna was cooking and keeping a watchful eye on our waiter. The food was perfect and the experience was fantastic. I don’t want the word to get out on this quiet place, but I also don’t want people to miss out on this authentic Italian experience.

Descubrimos este lugar en nuestra última noche de una escapada de 5 noches en el cercano Kobe Hotel y lo encantadora comida que tuvimos para terminar nuestras pequeñas vacaciones. Si estás buscando un auténtico sabor de Italia con un toque familiar genuino, este restaurante tradicional romano con su encanto rústico es una joya absoluta! El ambiente cálido te hace sentir como en casa, con cada rincón del restaurante reflejando la pasión y la historia de tres generaciones de dedicados chefs familiares. Situado junto al Circo Máximo y no lejos del Collesuem, merece la pena visitarlo, especialmente si te gustan los mariscos.

An authentic restaurant of which few remain. It is not easy to find a restaurant with typical Roman dishes in tourist Rome. Run by a family that has been around for many years, they treat customers with great kindness, good service and simple, traditional Nonna cuisine.
I recommend it if you want to get away from all the tourist guides, traveler blogs, etc...
The best of Rome. You must come here when you want to feel the taste of Rome. especially Vongole, steak, wine, tiramisu.
30 days have passed since my trip to Italy. I'll give it the highest rating out of all the food I've ever eaten.
thank you
