La Matriciana In Roma

Visited on February 9, 2025 I wanted to eat dinner, so I searched for a popular restaurant nearby and found this place. Even at 10 p.m., the restaurant was full, so I was shown to a terrace seat. The olives served with the meal were flavored with orange peel and had a strong aroma. The pasta was delicious, but the shrimp risotto was the best. The shrimp flavor was strong, and the rice absorbed the broth, making it very tasty. The price is a bit high, but the risotto was a good choice.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to dine here without hesitation. I'd eaten there before and couldn't go wrong. In the past, you could get by without a reservation, but now it seems it's difficult to get a table without one, even on weekdays. I've heard that making a reservation is good manners for dinner. The restaurant's name suggests "Matriciana." Pasta tossed in a generous amount of tomato sauce. Topped with a sprinkling of freshly grated cheese as light as light snow, it's bound to be delicious. The service is prompt and makes for a pleasant meal.

I read a review that said you could eat there without a reservation if you went before opening time, so I lined up before opening time, but they told me it was full. I recommend making a reservation. (lol)

The first restaurant we went to after arriving in Rome. We ordered pasta alla amatriciana (of course) and carbonara, which we loved. The service was impeccable.

Typical Roman restaurant with Italian waiters that adds a touch of typicality. The tripe is excellent, as is the waiters' manner.

A restaurant not far from Termini station... Large, well-maintained, refined... Despite the crowds, we were served quickly without a long wait. The staff were friendly, kind, and welcoming...and even though it was a hectic environment, they were always smiling and ready for a joke. I had oxtail stew...the meat was so tender it melted in your mouth.... The tripe was also really good...you even had to mop it up with bread! Consistent quality/price ratio.

It was my first time there, and I was in a rush for my train. They seated me and served me very quickly. The carbonara was excellent, and their courtesy was even better. Recommended.

The food was very good, but the first course was limited and nothing exceptional... the meat was excellent (sliced), credit where credit is due. The price was high; if it had been 15% lower, it would have been an excellent experience. The €3 coffee was irritating, as was a €5 liter of water. Water is also essential. In any case, it was satisfactory. But before I return, I'll look around.

Come da titolo. Oramai è un’istituzione nella ristorazione di fascia alta nella capitale. Locale ottimamente arredato, sempre lindo ed ordinato. Servizio attento e di altissima qualità con grandissima attenzione al cliente. Menù di terra e di mare della tradizione romana e laziale. Materia prima sempre fresca, eccellente e ricercata. Prezzi adeguati alla qualità delle pietanze e dei servizi. SE SIETE IN ZONA LO CONSIGLIO SENZA RISERVE.

We had read a lot of positive feedback about this restaurant and that was the reason why during our Rome trip, we made sure to have dinner here. As out trip was in March, not high season for Italy, we did not think of making a reservation beforehand: big mistake. We could find a table only for lunch. So, make sure to reserve ahead of time. Located just across the Rome Opera, the restaurant is very centrally located. The decoration and overall ambiance is very cozy and Italian. The food is very good but not that different than other good restaurants in the city. The service could be better, it was a bit sloppy and even on the verge of being rude time to time, that's a pity for an establishment like this. Nevertheless, we enjoyed having lunch here, it was, for most part of it, the Italian experience we were looking for.
