Pizzachef di Gabriele Barile In Roma

29/08/2025: Excellent osteria in the center of Rome, a very cute place with super friendly staff and fast, perfect service. The quality of the food is excellent; it's the first and, I believe, only place in the center of Rome that serves proper Roman cuisine. I found the guanciale crispy in the gricia and carbonara. A 10/10 value for money.

29/08/2025: I went to Hostaria Isidoro with my girlfriend, after walking around near Colosseum, we were tired so it felt like finally a good stop. I had carbonara, it was rich creamy, maybe a bit too salty or maybe it was just the pecorino too strong but anyway I liked it, filling enough, not heavy, I kept mixing it because pasta was sticking a bit. She got pizza, thin crust hot from oven, cheese and tomato just right, nothing fancy but tasted real good. Inside atmosphere cozy rustic, people talking loud, laughing, I lost track of our own talk sometimes but that’s okay, felt more local than touristic. Service was kind of slow at start or maybe just me being hungry, but then waiter explained some dishes, friendly guy, shirt a bit wrinkled but whatever, didn’t rush us. Prices not cheap, close to attractions so I guess normal, I keep saying it was fair enough even if I’m not 100% sure. We left happy, thinking maybe we come back, or maybe not, depends how crowded next time.
