La Matriciana In Roma

The carbonara and the Saltimbocca were delicious, the place is really charming and the service was good. (Which is rare in most places in Roma)

It was listed in Rurubu and was close to our hotel, so we visited on the second day of our stay in Rome! I ordered the rigatoni with ragu, and my husband ordered the amatriciana. The amatriciana was really delicious♡ The Opera House is right in front of the restaurant, and the atmosphere on the terrace is great!

Bucatini all'amatriciana and Rigatoni alla carbonara. Typical dishes, nothing special. I expected more for €18 for each entree. They brought these entrees to us while we were still eating our appetizers. Don't order the grilled vegetables as a side dish: four thin strips of zucchini and two small slices of eggplant on a small plate cost €10! It's the height of summer, and these vegetables are in season. What would a portion justify the price? Since everything is expensive, we didn't order dessert: €10 even for a tiramisu, which is an effortless dessert. An appetizer (fried anchovies and cod), two entrees, a side dish, and a large bottle of San Pellegrino. The bill was €71. Wine not included. Tourist fare, to put it mildly. As a resident, I'd go elsewhere. After the restaurant's review, I'll leave my clarification. I'm not just talking about the prices. The first courses are traditional, popular dishes, with simple ingredients, although Pecorino Romano has become more expensive. They have to be good without being excessively expensive for me. The pasta dishes are the kind you buy in supermarkets. The grilled vegetables were outrageous: four strips of zucchini and two slices of eggplant for €10, no peppers, radicchio, or other seasonal vegetables. It was a total disappointment. I appreciate that we ate with a tablecloth, cloth napkins, and a basket of bread. These are included without being declared. I came many years ago and loved your place. I hope you recapture that nostalgic atmosphere that is disappearing.

Authentic restaurant with great food.

The meal was good but a little too salty and greasy. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was a bit awkward with the street vendors who were very annoying, so I recommend going inside.

Standard Italian service, meaning that you should order a starter and at least a main dish (pasta or meat), because things take their time. Although a very busy restaurant we weren't rushed to empty our table, meaning we could enjoy our meal and evening. It is expensive, around 15-20 euro for a pasta dish, but totally worth it. Would recommend this restaurant so that you get to know what good pasta is, but be ready to spend 30-50 euro per person (more if you like good wine) If you like medium (pink) meat, like lamb or beef, don't get it here (or in Italy). Everything will be well done, but still properly cooked and not dry, even when grilled.

Nice place located in front of the Theater. It is a historic place, well-kept interiors. Friendly staff, we had lunch with typical products of the Roman tradition. Really good food.

Good food, great ingredients, friendly service

La Matriciana es una verdadera institución romana cuando llegamos pensando que era el día correcto nos equivocamos, sin embargo, nos sentó en un área no descriptiva, sin embargo, el personal profesional localizó nuestra reserva y nos trasladó a la Zona central que es mucho más elegante empezamos con bacalao frito y anchoas y mi esposa tenía los mejillones las entradas principales eran rigatoni con camarones y espaguetis con almejas Servicio era eficiente pero cálido muy recomendable pero hacer reservas

Nonostante le cose che ci sarebbero da ridire ci troviamo davanti al classico che non muore mai. Nessuno e’ perfetto d’altronde, ma in un posto così anche il difetto passa in Secondo piano perché sei accolto, coccolato alla romana, servito bene e sai comunque di mangiare qualità!
