I emailed earlier in the day and received a timely response that I would be blessed with a reservation that evening. I was seated immediately at a table in the front of the restaurant. From this vantage point, I was able to observe many people attempting to walk in for a table and kindly asked to return tomorrow.
As I was dining alone, I opted to go for the half portions which allowed me to try a few dishes. I found the half portions to be more than adequate.
The mint in the cacio e Pepe is a bold choice and surprisingly good. Subtle and not too overpowering, it gives a unique twist to the traditional dish.
For my second course I had the Involtoni di Manzo alla Romano con Peperoni di Pontecarvo, which is beef roman style in a white sauce with red peppers. The sweet of the red pepper was perfect with the beef.
I found God in the Gelato Amleto. I had tears of joy as I took in each bite. Described as "Zabaione Gelato topped with amaretti and reduction red wine, I would describe it as heaven on earth.
The chef is in amazing artist who takes great pride in his masterpieces. Rightfully so. His creations are like a symphony in your mouth.
Everyone who comes here leaves with a lighter step and a sparkle in their eye. There is something magical about this place. I hope it isn't too long before my return.

It's either you order a 40€ menu per person or they force you to order 2 dishes per person if you don't choose a menu (starters don't count) good but expensive

A historic restaurant in the heart of Rome. Its name certainly allows it to be priced much higher than the average restaurant in the area.
But let's be honest, the quality is evident. Both the meatballs and the chicken with peppers are truly excellent. The saltimbocca are also very good.
Strawberry tiramisu is good but slightly too sweet.

A truly excellent lunch. The atmosphere is quaint and refined, the food is good and unique. Every dish, even the most traditional Roman ones, is revisited or has that little something extra that makes them exceptional.
Definitely worth a try 🔝

Trattoria Sora Lella, located on Rome's Tiber Island, is an institution of traditional Roman cuisine. Upon entering, you'll experience a familiar and welcoming atmosphere, enriched by a history dating back to 1940. The menu offers authentic dishes such as oxtail stew, artichokes Jewish-style, and Nonna Lella's meatballs, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The service is attentive, and the quality and overall experience are worth the investment. The picturesque location and authentic cuisine make Sora Lella a must-visit for lovers of Roman culinary tradition.

The food is quality, it stays true to Roman tradition, and that's a wonderful thing. There's only one flaw: unfortunately, they force diners to order a minimum of two dishes per person, but the generous portions don't allow you to fully enjoy the experience. The price, service, and ambiance make it feel like a trattoria, and above all, the teachings of the legendary Sora Lella.

Excellent carbonara, one of the best in Rome, with a fantastic zucchini flower appetizer. It's a shame I won't be back because of the bill (I'm not complaining about the price of the carbonara, €25, which, as I said, was delicious, but €24 for two glasses of wine and a €12 cover charge for two is a real stretch to rip off tourists)! Not to mention that you're required to order two dishes each... The waiters were friendly and polite!

Un encantador restaurante amable con excelente comida. Fuimos porque es uno de los favoritos de Stanley Tucci, y no nos decepcionó. Tienen varios menús degustación a precios muy razonables y vino, todo lo cual es delicioso! El personal es encantador, muy amable y parecía feliz de soportar nuestro mal italiano! Por favor, vete, no te arrepentirás.

Ci sono andato con due amici a febbraio, bassa stagione e finalmente ho potuto prenotare, in alta stagione ha delle liste d attesa molto lunghe.
A mio parere cibo molto buono, eccellente e servizio molto molto ben fatto.
Puntarelle, trippa e cosciotto di agnello eccellente,
Peccato il prezzo, veramente fuori mercato…. Carissimo veramente carissimo, sia il menù che la carta dei vini. qualità si, ma prezzi esagerati.
