Trattoria Magna Roma Paternostro In Palermo

At Romano's, I can say I enjoyed it. My partner ate her usual pasta dishes. After a misunderstanding with the second course, which she'd order individually at other places (half carbonara and half cacio e pepe, but never forcing the other diner), we devoured pumpkin (I don't know if it was frozen), well-cooked without too much oil, mozzarella in carrozza, a delicious lamb chop (where foreigners looked at me askance because I ate with my hands), and...now it's your turn to try it. I love second courses, so I'll try new dishes again, always leaving the first courses to my better half. The price...could be better, but we're talking about unique cuisine. The downside...parking, 20 minutes of driving around, and we parked 1.5 km away, and we weren't sure if we had to pay for scratch cards (hard to find) on Saturdays. Otherwise, we were satisfied, and the staff was patient and helpful, even when we asked to take the rest of the dishes away.

Great small restaurant a short way from Teatro Garibaldi, on a not-too-busy street corner. Nice outside seating and nice inside as well. Very good servers make sure you're happy throughout, but are not a nuisance. I had the delicious eponymous pasta dish (Tonnarelli Magna Roma) and an eponymous drink, the Spritz Magna Roma. Both were terrific and reasonably priced. The drink was somewhat darker and made me think of a Negroni Spritz (which I have not seen). The pasta was a more interesting variation on the carbonara, with mushrooms and crunchy artichoke slices. Very good! Another time I had tonnarelli pasta with zucchini, and it was delicious! Spicy accents of black pepper in the cheesy sauce, and wonderful grilled zucchini. And they are known for their Cacio e Pepe, a classic Roman dish that they do very well! Very pleasant and relaxing place. I'm a regular now!

I've been to this restaurant a couple of times and I must say it's always been a pleasant experience. The ambiance is immediately striking for its traditional style, clearly reminiscent of classic Roman trattorias with a touristy yet authentic feel, where the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The location is strategic, in the heart of the city and just steps from the Politeama Theater, perfect for a stop before or after a show or a stroll downtown. The first courses are the real highlight: carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and all the other traditional Roman recipes are expertly prepared using quality ingredients, flavorful, and well-balanced. The other dishes on the menu are also quite good, although they don't quite reach the same excellence as the first courses. The restaurant is small, with just a few seats inside and about eight tables outside, which inevitably makes it a bit noisy during peak hours, but it's a small, acceptable compromise for enjoying such authentic cuisine. The service deserves special mention: the waiters are friendly, prompt, and very helpful, always attentive to the customer without being intrusive. Overall, a sincere, welcoming, and well-run place, ideal for a quick but quality lunch or a pit stop in the city center. Highly recommended for those who love traditional Roman cuisine in a simple, family-friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food, friendly staff, I booked.

Excellent traditional Roman food. The interior is a bit small.

Well what can I say, Magna Roma never disappoints, quality food is always better, attentive and kind staff, a wonderful experience

Very hospitable, you eat as if you were in Rome, excellent prices and service.

Rosario, the guy who took our orders, was immediately kind and welcoming: he explained the various dishes on the menu in detail and offered advice (at my request) that turned out to be invaluable (the eggplant flan and carbonara I ordered were truly excellent). The other girl, whose name I don't know, also came by very often to check if everything was okay or if we needed anything. Overall, a clean environment, kind and welcoming staff, and delicious food. So if you're in Palermo, stop by Magna Roma!

Top experience! Rosario and Patrizio are two masters of service, incredibly friendly and kind. Delicious food.

Magna Roma é una garanzia, io sono cliente abituale ma oggi mi sono accorta anche della grande umanità dei camerieri in quanto un’amica stava male e le hanno portato l’oki per stare meglio, un’altra si è sporcata di sugo la maglietta e le hanno dato lo smacchiatore, e poi Vincenzo che è super simpatico, davvero grandi e la carbonara è la migliore di Palermo
