La Pilotta Restaurant, a very nice place with a family atmosphere. Exceptional cuisine!

I happened upon La Pilotta when I made my first trip to Rome in 2010. It was an experience to remember, not just for the fantastic food but for the charming and joyful experience overall. We returned in 2018 with our family for an amazing Easter meal. Our most recent visit was February 2026. We arrived toward the end of the lunch rush when the place had just a few customers and the owner, Mario, was working at a calculator in the middle of the dining room. We ended up in conversation with him before a delicious meal — pasta all'amatriciana for me and pasta alla carbonara for my husband (when in Rome...). Before leaving, I happened to notice that hanging on the wall was the Rome travel piece I'd written for our upstate New York daily newspaper, the Times Union, in 2010. How it found its way to La Pilotta I'll never know, but I was overcome with joy and had to pose with Mario. This is a great spot, just outside the Vatican walls, great food, including delicious homemade pastas, comfy vibe, good prices. Stop by, and tell Mario I said hello.

When you're completely exhausted... you stumble upon this restaurant full of locals, not tourists. The food is delicious. If I had to find a fault, the lasagna portion is small for the price. But everything else is fantastic!

A beautiful, tiny restaurant where you can truly experience Italy, with photos of Pope Francis, and an elderly gentleman who serves the tables alone with equal parts calmness and kindness. Wonderful! We'll definitely be back!

Excellent restaurant just steps from St. Peter's, where professionalism and courtesy are the hallmarks of this welcoming establishment. Excellent menu and very affordable prices. Highly recommended. Carlo
