Bucavino In Roma

Here’s a polished and natural version of your review: We visited this restaurant twice during our stay, and that says a lot about how much we enjoyed it! On our first visit, Alessandro was our waiter, and he truly made the experience memorable. After a long day of traveling, we were craving a great meal, and this place delivered. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe and a steak, and both were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that we came back a second time. Once again, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe, along with lamb chops , and everything was outstanding. The food was consistently excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was fantastic. A special thank you to Alessandro for his warm hospitality and excellent recommendations. We would happily return again.

On a business trip, I'm returning to this restaurant, where I'd been several years ago and had fond memories. For my appetizer, I had the Roman-style tripe, delicious and tender. The mint was present but not overpowering. The pecorino cheese was running low, but I just had to ask and they brought me a small bowl that made up for it. The Neapolitan-style sautéed escarole was also very good. Main course: Bucavino paccheri, with asparagus, guanciale, cherry tomatoes, and flaked pecorino. What can I say? A delicious dish, an excellent combination of ingredients and perfect execution. My only complaint: for €20, I would have expected a slightly larger portion; I certainly wasn't expecting a "fraschetta-like" portion, but then again, for the price, it seemed a bit modest... I finished the meal with cacio e pepe supplì, fried very well (super crispy and dry), but I found it a bit bland or at least lacking in flavor (I would have expected a nice kick from the pecorino and pepper, but I didn't taste them much...). In conclusion, I ate well overall, but perhaps the final bill of €52.50 is a bit high, considering I didn't order bread (that would have been another €4!), no dessert, and only drank water and coffee. So, definitely recommended if you're looking for good quality without any particular budget constraints; conversely, in terms of pure value, perhaps you can find something better.

Our first restaurant in Rome and certainly one of our best discoveries. Arriving around 10 p.m., we were worried we wouldn't find a good place. However, we were greeted with a smile and discovered excellent Roman cuisine: generous portions, delicious flavors, and very reasonably priced. Special mention for the tiramisu, which my parents consider the best they've ever eaten! The storefront is unassuming, but don't let that fool you: the best finds aren't always the most obvious.

A great find in Parioli. Traditional Roman and contemporary dishes. The best carbonara I've ever had, as well as the saltimbocca. Their unparalleled tiramisu is a must-try. STANDING OVATION See you soon

UPDATE ON BUCAVINO'S RESPONSE (since you can't reply): Thanks for the feedback, but I fear there's been some confusion. We came for lunch, as I already wrote, and, with a 1:00 PM reservation, we were seated at 1:20 PM, not 40 minutes late. I had no complaints about the bill. The menu is full of tasty and delicious dishes, but it's a shame that, despite having booked for lunch on a Saturday, we had to wait over an hour before being served (they didn't even bring us bread nor did they worry that we had run out of water). Considering that there was a little girl at the table and that I even had to ask for her pasta with sauce, I'd say that the service was poor to say the least. We waited almost another hour for the first courses, after which we paid (2 dishes each and 1 bottle for 4, about €40 each), without even receiving a discount for the wait. The excuse about the number of customers didn't hold up: the place is literally a hole and there are few seats. Furthermore, there is only one bisexual toilet, in front of which an inevitable queue forms. They weren't really prepared (to tell us that they had run out of "the chef's bread" and only had normal/commercial/poor man's bread, means that there is really no the raw material). It's a shame, because it would have been convenient even during lunch break from the office, but I don't recommend it.

Delicious food. Had starters, carbonara with truffles, and some more.

Pleasant atmosphere and excellent food. Friendly, helpful, and very pleasant service. We'll be back.

A quality business lunch. Two supplì, cacio e pepe and traditional, and two gricie with artichokes. Everything was very good, especially the supplì. We were in a hurry, and the staff was very quick with their service. Recommended.

Fantastic service, incredible pasta. A full 5 stars!

Absolutely incredible food quality. GET THE BREAD, best I've had in Italy.
