An excellent tavern in the heart of the Ostiense district, a stone's throw from the Piramide Cestia and Testaccio.
Large but not chaotic structure. Perhaps too many tourists probably due to the position in the Tripadvisor ranking.
As soon as we arrived, we were seated immediately and the boy who took care of us also immediately brought us the menu, they brought us water and took our orders, after explaining the dishes not on the menu.
I ate some good crostini with livers and then a spectacular dish of spaghettoni with butter and anchovies with Normandy butter and anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea. To drink a good wine from Lazio.
The recommendation is to book well in advance especially if there are many of you given the notoriety this tavern has achieved. You can easily book directly from their website.
I will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu.

Happened by chance for a business dinner on a Wednesday evening, the place looked promising given that the place was full as it was midweek. We took different types of appetizers: aubergine rolls, excellent Giudia artichokes and tail meatballs. The first courses were very abundant: cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana but above all the fettuccine with artichokes, pecorino and pancetta. The second courses are less abundant but excellent in appearance: cod fillet, Roman saltimbocca. Very generous side dishes: baked potatoes and broccoli. I must say that the potatoes had a lot of oil and little salt while for the saltimbocca in my opinion the slices were too thick but good. The desserts were all good and of excellent appearance: from tiramisu to mille-feuille and Ambrogio's ricotta. Normal prices, excellent wine, very friendly staff and timely service. I highly recommend it given the excellent location. The only flaw perhaps is that parking is difficult to find but it doesn't depend on the venue.

Amazing Pasqua dinner. Food is top notch, very good service from team. Worth every penny ! Antipasti very tasty, they are so generous with the primi that I couldn’t get my secondi lol. Dessert was excellent. Such an amazing and authentic place. Thank you for treat us that well.

Well made Roman specialties. The spaghetti with butter and anchovies and the chicory with garlic, oil and chilli pepper are excellent

My friend and I both ordered lamb. Mine was excellent- only realised later hers was absolutely terrible - mainly slices of fat. I would have sent back if she had said in time. I just gave her half of my meal. Tge dessert of the day - strawberries wasn't available evn though we were at the early sitting and the first in the restaurant! The milliefeuille was lovely. No one asked us if our meal was okay, and it was a little difficult to catch the attention of the waiting staff. They were mostly pleasant when they did speak with you. Lovely setting and atmosphere.

And just in case there was still a need, the Ostia Piramide area does not disappoint in terms of choice and quality of the premises. For me it was the first experience with the Moorish brothers Alessandro and Francesco, the owners on the occasion of Easter. In my humble opinion, the place can be appreciated for its elegant, very spacious rustic style, I particularly appreciated the large open kitchen, but in addition to this I was able to notice that the place also has a space entirely reserved for the preparation of bread. The offer is very interesting and reflects the Roman tradition, in fact on the menu we can find boiled meatballs, fried lamb and palate, Giudia artichokes as well as traditional Roman first courses. I would like to point out that as previously underlined, yesterday being Easter I opted for some off-menu Easter items, among which I chose the Easter appetizer consisting of corallina, cheese cake, artichokes in batter, and omelette. All very good, I appreciated the very light and not greasy batter, the artichoke left crunchy was another thing I appreciated. For the first course I chose an off-menu but still rooted in the Roman tradition, gnocchi with artichoke and lamb ragout. The gnocco was practically perfect in terms of consistency and cooking and then the tasty ragù was just right. I found a good balance of flavors and then what I appreciated was the mint which goes well with the artichoke... for dessert we chose the Manfredi house colomba and it goes without saying that it was excellent. Cost for 2 glasses of wine, water, starter, first course divided into 2 and colomba €65. Naturally I will return soon to taste some traditional Roman first courses. Super recommended

A truly excellent Roman trattoria! Spacious, well-kept and welcoming environment. The traditional dishes are sensational: perfect carbonara, fettuccine with bacon, artichokes and applause-worthy pecorino. The boiled meatballs are a real treat. The trio of desserts is excellent, but the Armando ricotta is unmissable. Quick and impeccable service even when the place is full. Friendly and professional staff. Really excellent quality/price ratio. We'll be back!
Excellent Roman osteria located a stone's throw from the "piramide" metro stop: the pasta with artichokes, bacon and pecorino is to die for. The setting is authentic and the cuisine generous: you sense real quality in the preparation of the dishes.
