Maghetto In Roma

Everything was delicious and the hospitality was truly perfect.

At Dar Maghetto, you'll have a unique experience not just about food but about what we all call the vanished Rome of trattorias. Trattorias are about sharing, with their strengths and weaknesses. If you're a Roman, he might seem rude and grumpy, but he's only Roman! Behind those words and those gestures (which you have to learn to understand) lies a life of sacrifice and kindness. Even at almost eighty, you can't forget that's er MAGHETTO! You come in, you sit down, you make a joke, and you repeat it, sure he won't take offense (but you shouldn't be offended, otherwise it's worthless). You order drinks and chat, you order food and chat (with everyone, including foreigners; oh God, I even have a problem with talking to everyone). Then he comes to eat and you eat well, as tradition dictates in a trattoria with no frills but substance. Then er Maghetto arrives and asks, "Can you taste it for me to see if it's good?" A plate of tripe, obviously, it's Friday and Saturday in Rome, tripe is traditionally served. This is to make you understand that the food on the plate is also part of the experience, and the Maghetto experience is a 10 all-inclusive.

What can I say? It's been managed by the same father and son team since the old days, always on point, authentic and down-to-earth Romans. If you're looking for gourmet food or a reinterpretation, don't go... but if you want to dive back into the '80s and feel like you're at your grandmother's house, then go. Flavors of yesteryear, authentic and genuine.

Simple tasty food in a local setting. Really friendly and welcoming. English menu available. A nice change from all the tourist traps in central Rome.

Pasta pasta e molto altro la pasta, la verità è che ero un po "stanco.

Excellent Roman trattoria, simple

Very kind and friendly. I had delicious homemade gnocchi. I spent €18 for a first course, bread, still water, and coffee. Very good value for money. I recommend going.

Very good! Quality service and very welcoming

Far from the tourist traps, we find ourselves in the heart of Italian family cuisine. The dishes are exquisite, special mention goes to the spaghetti carbonara, it's the best in Rome that I've had the chance to taste. The staff is lovely and welcoming. You feel right at home. I recommend it.

Vera trattoria romana, piatti abbondanti, squisiti, fatti con la cura e i segreti dei cuochi tradizionali della Roma autentica. Personale attento, gentile e di cuore. Ambiente anni 70; è come andare a pranzo da uno zio. Andateci!
