Pastificio Maria In Roma

03/06/2025: Wow. Beautiful restaurant in a wine cellar from the 17th century. All the staff is extended family. The service is friendly and stellar. We had a sea bass dish that was out of this world. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Go! You will not be disappointed.

02/06/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Il Gabriello in Rome is an absolute must-visit, and I can’t thank Rick Steves enough for pointing us in the right direction! We dined here based on his recommendation, and it was hands-down one of the best meals we had during our trip to Rome. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel like old friends. They recommended we let the chef surprise us with their off-menu extravaganza, and we’re so glad we did! From start to finish, each course was a revelation: fresh seafood, handmade pastas, rich, flavorful sauces, and a perfectly paired selection of local wines. Every bite was a celebration of authentic Roman flavors elevated to something truly special. The attention to detail and passion for the craft are unmistakable, and you can tell this is a place where food is treated with love. If you’re visiting Rome and want an unforgettable dining experience, make a reservation at Il Gabriello and ask for the off-menu tasting. You’ll be treated to an exquisite, one-of-a-kind meal that you’ll remember for years to come. Grazie mille to Il Gabriello—and to Rick Steves—for this gem!
