La Dispensa dei Mellini In Roma

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.

A very good little restaurant, just steps from our rental. The waitresses were very pleasant and smiling. I recommend it.

The best tartare in all of Rome! The soft-boiled egg with pecorino cheese and guanciale was incredible: we could have eaten it all. The waitresses were lovely and the place was very welcoming: highly recommended!

A neighborhood restaurant along the Tiber. Warm welcome and delicious Italian cuisine. Everything is fresh and homemade. Classic pasta dishes, simple and tasty appetizers. Excellent tiramisu. A cozy and welcoming place frequented by local Italians. A great spot we'll definitely return to.

Dinner with friends at a restaurant chosen for its meticulous presentation on the website, summed up by the slogan "50% Roman, 50% creativity, 100% warmth," which had piqued curiosity and expectations. Overall, the experience wasn't particularly memorable. The artichoke alla giudia, covered in pecorino fondue, lost the typical crispiness of fried food, resulting in a less balanced dish than expected. The linguine with butter, anchovies, and foamy pecorino cheese looked good, but the taste was rather ordinary. The service was friendly and welcoming, but there was some uncertainty with the wine selection. Overall, a decent experience, but not quite up to initial expectations.

Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's graduation. We had a wonderful meal and the service was excellent! Thank you for everything.
