Meo Pinelli In Roma

Different than expected. I visited this restaurant for dinner, but from the moment I arrived, I had the feeling I'd chosen the wrong place: the music was quite loud and there were many people enjoying cocktails and other drinks after dinner. I'd booked in the afternoon and was given a table for two, but it wasn't ready when we arrived. Browsing the menu, I immediately noticed it was different from the one published on the website: in particular, they were no longer serving pinsa (the main reason we'd chosen the restaurant), but only pizzas. So we changed and opted for the "Mitico" option, described as "a huge selection of cured meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables, bruschetta, and daily specials, all accompanied by freshly baked focaccia and mixed fried foods." However, our table received: cured meats (excellent quality), a single type of cheese, a plate of chips with two supplì each, one bruschetta each, and a focaccia for two to share. The daily specials and pickled vegetables were therefore missing, and overall the selection of cheeses, bruschetta, and focaccia seemed more limited than described on the menu. The place is nevertheless very well-kept and clean; the staff is friendly and helpful, and the drinks selection is also excellent. Overall, however, I think it's more suitable for an aperitif or after-dinner drink rather than a proper dinner, despite the menu also offering several main course options.

As a true Foresto, as always, a simple request was enough to convince me to have an apericena with friends/colleagues. No sooner said than done, I sat at the table ordering a delicious, fresh bottle of Passerina, which I'm an expert on. It's no coincidence that I won the bet with the staff who served us: 12.5° is the alcohol content of Passerina. The atmosphere, courtesy, and friendliness of the staff were there, despite our demanding requests. We pointed out the poor quality of the IPA beer (two out of two glasses were bad). The staff inquired and, upon discovering that it was, in fact, the dregs, they immediately replaced it. Some of us chose Passerina and Giulietta, others beer and burgers. Everyone was very satisfied. Congratulations, I'll definitely be back.

Colorful and lively. The atmosphere is friendly, and the aperitif is truly special.

Fantastic breakfast! The croissants and brioche were top notch!!

Excellent coffee and yeast, it was a simple, high-quality croissant.

What can I say? Congratulations! It's no coincidence that you're historically part of the Via Tuscolana...the one from the past, and you're holding on despite everything! Resilience! Everything is excellent!

A truly delicious aperitif featuring abundant seafood, personally preferred to the meat. The apple, ice cream, and cinnamon dessert is excellent. The Casa Santa Margherita Traminer is a must. Pricey, but worth it.

In Rome for a business trip, I stumbled upon this very charming restaurant where you can breathe in the air of times gone by. Excellent food, a very welcoming atmosphere, and super attentive and kind staff! Congratulations!

It's really cool, especially for the prices

Updated to 2025. The place is really cute, with tons of photos of all the famous people who've graced its floors. Angelo is a truly wonderful host, making you feel at ease and part of the family. Let's move on to the food; I usually have an evening aperitivo (I'm not a fan of aperitivo), featuring both raw and cooked fish, at a truly unbeatable value! And if you happen to be served by the wonderful Amta, the experience will be even better. Highly recommended!
