16/05/2026: An authentic and unforgettable Roman experience
If you're looking for authentic Roman cuisine, stop here. Hosteria Cacio e Pepe is one of those rare places where tradition is evident in every bite.
We started with an extraordinary Roman appetizer: medallions stuffed with caciocavallo cheese and oxtail stew—a creative and delicious idea that combines two souls of Roman cuisine in a single bite. The stringy caciocavallo cheese blends with the rich, deep oxtail stew, slow-cooked according to tradition. An appetizer that surprises and captivates, absolutely not to be missed.
The first courses also hit the mark: creamy and perfect rigatoni carbonara, a homemade pesto of the kind you're hard to find anymore, and the fettuccine with sparerib sauce that was simply fantastic—a slow, flavorful, mouth-watering ragù. Every dish at the table was different, but the enthusiasm was unanimous.
The highlight? A simply magnificent grilled steak—perfect crust, juicy interior, and full of character, served with a side of sautéed vegetables. The meat speaks for itself: excellent quality, impeccably cooked. One of the best I've had in Rome.
But what makes this place truly special are the people. Massimiliano, the host, is the beating heart of the hosteria: welcoming, passionate, and makes you feel like a guest from the first moment. Gabriele in the dining room is attentive, helpful, and has that touch of Roman charm that immediately puts you at ease.
Fair prices for unquestionable quality. I'll be back soon—and I'll bring everyone I know. 🍷🥩
09/05/2026: A welcoming and authentic atmosphere, with that true Roman osteria atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at home. The staff was extremely kind, helpful, and always attentive without being intrusive.
The dishes are generous, carefully prepared, and above all rich in flavor: you immediately notice the quality of the ingredients and the respect for tradition. The cacio e pepe, of course, was the highlight: creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The main courses and side dishes were also excellent, all truly well-prepared.
Very good value and fast service. A place where you eat well, spend a fair amount, and leave wanting more.
Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!
