This is one of our favorite restaurants in Rome. It was recommended to us back in 2016 and we took our parents here in 2019.
The food is beyond exquisite. Every bite that you take absolutely melts in your mouth. They use the freshest ingredients possible to make every morsel 'pop' with flavor. The wine is very fresh and good. What we like about Da Giovanni's is the prices. You can't beat the food and the prices, it is so reasonably in comparison to everything else we found in Rome.
The best part is the dessert, the Lemon Cello cheesecake. It literally is one of the best things I have had in Rome. If you are in Rome, you owe it to yourself to check this out. This is a staple of ours every time we visit. it is sooo good!!

Pasta portions were small but very reasonably priced. According to other reviews this is what an authentic Roman restaurant should be like. I'm not Italian so I can't comment on that but it definitely did not feel anything near as touristy as other restaraunts in the area. We went during lunch time and it was quiet, the only other diners looked like Italian office workers which was is an endorsement in my books. I'd reccomend giving it shot.

Apparently simple restaurant but after many restaurants more of oven than substance at Giovanni you appreciate the quality of the raw materials and a classic Roman cuisine expertly made in its concrete simplicity, Fabrizio the friendly and efficient owner knows how to put everyone at ease. Well done, keep it up.

during my weekend with a friend in Rome I went to eat after being recommended by a Roman friend, here by Giovanni, I was enthusiastic, we had the artichokes, a carbonara and a cacio e pepe, all amazing, very characteristic trattoria, Capitoline, and the owner is really very funny as he goes around the tables and occasionally plays the guitar!! If you come to Rome it must be a fixed stop!!!
