La Dispensa dei Mellini In Roma

We loved this restaurant so much we went two nights of our 6 night stay. It’s really unique and food, staff and overall it was outstanding many locals and hardly any tourists

After all the questionable food we have had in our trip around Europe to find this gem of a place right around the corner from our hotel was such a relief. We only had pastas and desserts but everything was exquisite. I have honestly never had Amatriciana that good. The Carbonara was excellent. Also the raviolini with cream sauce and sage was superb. All the desserts we had were also excellent - tiramisu, Chocolate mousse, flourless chocolate almond cake. And the service was amazing.

Everything was seasoned so perfectly (the tomato and peach salad was particularly delightful), we loved our lunch there! I want to go back! Plenty of vegetarian options!

Nice quiet restaurant off the beaten track from the busy streets of Rome. Delicious meal, fantastic service and a cosy little restaurant. A view of the very clean kitchen from the street window where passer bys can see the chefs at work. Would highly recommend this place. Its superb 👌. The food was delicious and couldn't find d a thing wrong with it. A great selection for all tastes and a very easy menu with a QR code to translate for you.

Excellent experience Quality food and friendly waitress. Short wait.

Decent food. Efficient service. "Spartan" atmosphere, slightly high prices. 4 tarallucci, €10, is definitely expensive. Expensive

The restaurant is very pretty inside, simple yet charming. I had the trippa fritta which was sublime: well seasoned and perfect amount of breading, followed by the amatriciana which also was amazing. Service was very friendly and reactive.

This interesting restaurant, located on Lungotevere Mellini since 2006, serves Roman cuisine, particularly the quinto quarto (veal fillet). The menu also features contemporary dishes created by Chef Susanna Sipione, but the highlight is the traditional local cuisine, masterfully executed by the chef. Here you can taste rigatoni with pajata, pasta alla gricia, carbonara, cacio e pepe, coda alla vaccinara (also used as a sauce for pasta (strictly homemade), tripe both classic and fried, puntarelle with anchovies—in short, all the best of old Roman recipes. The space is not very large, but the restaurant also has a few tables outside. The decor is informal but elegant. My only suggestion is to use placemats or paper placemats instead of tablecloths to cover the table to prevent cutlery from touching the surface. The idea of ​​having the kitchen open to the street is very nice. The wine list features good selections, especially from Lazio. Good value. On behalf of my entire table, I would like to once again extend my sincere best wishes to the Chef, who graced us with her presence during dinner, as she is expecting a baby. Best wishes.

Small but very welcoming. The staff was courteous and attentive. A truly excellent experience. I particularly loved the boiled meatballs, while the carbonara, for my personal taste, was a bit salty. But overall, we had a great time.

Simply perfect. The perfect balance between a traditional Roman family trattoria and an innovative restaurant. High-quality ingredients, beautifully cooked and, above all, presented. Intimate and family atmosphere with just a few tables and great customer service. Highly recommended.
