Pippo lo Sgobbone In Roma

We happened upon it by chance on a Saturday evening because we were in the area. The owner, with a bit of banter, found us a table for two even without a reservation. The place is a typical family-run osteria from days gone by. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. We had a mouth-watering carbonara and a gricia, which we couldn't finish due to physical limitations. The manager was worried something was wrong, which was definitely not the case. As I told Mr. Pippo, when we're back in Rome, we'll be back to try other typical dishes. Don't be offended if we order a half portion next time. ^_^

Excellent cuisine and service, the historic places of the past, the truly good ones!

Exceptional place. Traditional cuisine. Everything delicious!!!

Excellent old-fashioned Roman trattoria, excellent traditional dishes, friendly and courteous service. I felt at home, and I hope to return. Thank you so much.

A truly unique place, it feels like home, and the owners seem like they've known you forever. Excellent quality food. The friendliness and warmth of the staff make it even more special.

The carbonara was highly recommended. Very good tiramisu. A welcoming, albeit small, place with friendly and helpful staff. Fairly priced. I recommend making a reservation. We'll be back.

Small restaurant, I didn't have to book. Excellent, fast service, and very good starters. Reasonable prices, I recommend it.

Not sure they like Americans, very standard. A bunch of other great places nearby. Very expensive.

The staff is really welcoming and cheerful...they enjoy making jokes, they're very nice...I ate a fantastic GRICIA...thanks for everything guys!

Cucina genuina, casereccia, senza pretese ma di buona qualità. Se quello che cerchi è buon cibo, cucinato in modo tradizionale, è il posto giusto. Il servizio invece è piuttosto deludente… Ok, in una trattoria del genere te lo aspetti il clima familiare, le grida dalla cucina, le distrazioni di chi serve, però un minimo di cortesia (a tratti perfino di rispetto) io lo pretendo sempre. Altra nota negativa, i prezzi. Se il locale è spartano, i prezzi dovrebbero essere più bassi, non adeguarsi a quelli di ristoranti che ti riempiono di attenzioni, no? In conclusione, per me Pippo lo sgobbone è un posto che resta da tenere in considerazione a patto che si scenda a compromessi sul servizio e sia è comunque disposti a pagare come in un ristorante. Promosso ma con riserva.
