Ristorante Cesarina In Roma

One of the best experiences dining out in Rome, such a great staff and food was excellent!

Excellent restaurant with traditional Roman and non-Roman dishes. Excellent service. Recommended!

So my first night returning into Rome, having been a number of times, I wanted something healthy and typical of Rome. After looking for a while, I chose Cesarina which was not far from my hotel. What a fantastic place – in one respect the atmosphere feels stuck in some kind of time warp from the 1960s, but the service staff were fantastic (my Italian is horrible, and they were most accommodating). And the food was typical, traditional. I had the vegetable soup, and after travelling for some time and craving vegetables, this was an absolute godsend. I also tried the tonarelli alla gricia, which was also fabulous. For dessert I finish with the homemade zabaglione gelato - super creamy and rich, so much so that I couldn’t actually finish it. Wine by the glass was also great. Would recommend if you want a typical Roman meal in an historical setting with excellent waitstaff.

Excellent restaurant, excellent food. Attentive and professional service. Definitely recommended for those who want to appreciate Roman cuisine and Roman culture.

Very classic. Bolognese. Old-fashioned service. Minimal but adequate wine list. Dessert trolley. What else? A place frozen in time, for better or for worse, and more for better.

Very underrated. Authentic, fantastic pasta and service.

Excellent and any other word is unnecessary!

A historic restaurant in central Rome, renowned for its boiled meats, but also offering more classic Roman dishes, perceived by a local as "for tourists," who frequent it a lot given its location. I'm giving it three stars because the boiled meats didn't meet my expectations: the meat arrived cold, unfortunately difficult to digest given the amount of fat. The cuts of meat were among the more common ones, and the price (€28 per person for the boiled meat) seemed a bit high for the dish served. The wine list was decent, but the grappa, which at least wasn't added to the bill, was on par with the worst discounter. All in all, the food wasn't bad, but I wouldn't return.

I found a restaurant with very good traditional Italian dishes and a varied menu. The waiters were kind and helpful, and the restaurant manager was also friendly and eager to accommodate guests' needs. A decidedly positive experience.

AMAZING bolognese lasagna. Restaurant was recommended to us by locals :)
