Trattoria Da Cesare In Roma

Really, really. Really good food! We loved to food and the service!

Our main dishes of the evening were rigatoni alla Matriciana (that’s how it was spelled), gnocchi alla coda vaccinara and tonnarelli a la gricia. These were delicious with noted qualifications that the guanciale pieces with the tonnarelli were judged too large (!), the gnocchi were assessed under-salted while the coda vaccinara sauce seemed a little thin, and my serving of rigatoni was enormous (no complaint there).

A truly wonderful evening. The covered patio is spacious and, for Rome, offers a great alternative to the dark, crowded dining rooms. The restaurant has a very interesting menu, with a good wine selection; we particularly enjoyed the fried and natural anchovies: excellent quality. I don't usually eat pasta or pizza, and I must say the kitchen went out of its way to prepare a vegetarian dish for me that was suitable for my hypoglycemic diet. In a word, "fantastic." This place has a tough time finding parking nearby, but it's still one I highly recommend.

Had a nice dinner here though my expectations were very high as the restaurant has excellent reviews, unfortunately I was a little let down. Actually it was rather nice to travel outside the city center, Cesare is extremely close to the final stop of the 8 tram and you get to see much more of the city and where people live coming here. Dinner started with a very nice basket of bread and we shared the eggplant croquettes and calamari fritti. The croquettes were interesting, with a nice spicy tomato sauce offset with mint. The calamari were outstanding, extremely well done. For our mains, I had the gnocchi with oxtail sugo which was really disappointing. The sauce was deep and delicious, and the gnocchi very well made however totally under salted. I wonder if they are used to salting this dish with pasta water when the rigatoni is selected? I needed to add cheese AND salt just to coax some flavor. I do like salty, though. My companions had Amitriciana and Gricia. Both were very good however an alarming amount of guanciale was used in the gricia and my companion said that is was too much and the balance of the dish was off because of it. We were a bit put off by the waiters constantly trying to remove our dishes. Like, fork still in hand and BOOM can I take your plate now? Then you have to wait 15 minutes for the bill haha. Well no one is perfect for sure. Overall it was a good experience and I’m happy we went and wish them many years of success!

A recognized benchmark for Roman cuisine. Dishes meet expectations, with a special mention for the boiled meatballs.

Good food, but in my opinion, not much choice, perhaps due to a coincidence of "a problem with the stove in the kitchen." This sounded more like an excuse than a real problem, which made the service (which was otherwise average) longer. The place was in an inconvenient corner outside, with little space near the hustle and bustle of the entrance... In short... Personally, if invited, I would return, but by choice, no.

We finally made it to Trattoria Da Cesare al Casaletto for a long-awaited Sunday lunch after dreaming about it for a year. This place is a true Roman institution, run like a well-oiled machine, with a lively, family-filled atmosphere that feels authentic and welcoming. The wine list is excellent—we especially loved our exquisite bottle of Etna Bianco. We enjoyed the supplì, squash blossoms, gricia, and ravioli, each dish showcasing the comforting flavors of Roman cooking. Watching families with babies gather around big Sunday meals added to the charm of the experience. Overall, a solid and memorable Roman lunch—classic, reliable, and full of energy.

Roman cuisine. The cacio e pepe was amazing! The staff were friendly and service was quite fast, even though there were 12 of us. The ingredients were excellent and expertly cooked! The only reason I gave it 4 stars for the ambiance is the parking: practically impossible to find... but even the walk that entails is worth it!

Trattoria con forte identità di cucina romana, polpette di bollito davvero eccezionali, cacio e pepe molto condita (da tradizione). Prezzi nella media. Crostata di visciole buona Buona esperienza...

Todo lo que se dice sobre esta es una de las mejores trattorias de Roma es verdad. Fuimos un domingo por la noche a las 7: 45 , y solo había unas pocas personas allí. Cuando nos fuimos, todas las mesas estaban llenas. Usted necesita absolutamente reservas aquí. Tomé una deliciosa pasta carbonara. Mi esposa tomó una de las pastas especiales esa noche, con guisantes, espárragos, judías, etc. Compartimos una pizza. Pero tantos comensales tenían tantos platos que se veían espectaculares. Este lugar no es de lujo, y está a unos 20 minutos en coche de la Via Veneto, si su hotel está allí. Estamos muy contentos de haber ido.
