I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina romana

03/11/2025: Salty, over priced. It's a standard tourist trap. Only came here bc my elderly father was hungry and didn't want to wait anywhere else

08/10/2025: Dar Bottarolo: The Odyssey of the Lost Switchboard. It all started well, very well indeed: a family lunch for eighteen people, organized with a wealth of calls and confirmations to the legendary single switchboard of "Dar Bottarolo," that totem of Roman restaurant franchises that seems run more by Fate than by human beings. Our organizer, diligent as a general on the eve of battle, had called several times in the preceding days: "There are eighteen of us, please remember!" And they, reassuring as a grandmother: "Everything confirmed, sir, we'll be waiting for you!" Finally, day X arrives. We show up at the restaurant on Via Tiburtina, smiling and hungry. But the waiter's expression chills us: "Reservation? Eighteen people? No, nothing here." A shiver runs down our spine: the single switchboard, in an act of pure abstract art, had never transmitted our existence to the restaurant. We call the switchboard again: a kind voice offers us the "solution": "Oh yes, don't worry, we'll move you... there's a free place in Tor Marancia!" Sure, on the other side of Rome, but what's 40 minutes of traffic like when the hunger is already spiritual? Eighteen supplì pilgrims set off for Tor Marancia, following the organizer as tenacious as Ulysses, who refuses to give in to the call of the switchboard. But bad luck doesn't let go: "Ah... but we don't know anything about your arrival." Silence. Eyes wide open. A pair of symbolic forks thrown into the air. The place is packed, and the "solution" is worthy of a Totò film: "Wait for the crowds to thin out a bit, then we'll regroup your table." Translation: lunch scheduled for 2032. Here, however, a round of applause for the owner, who at least went out of his way to find us a place. After a long wait and inner fasting, we enter—it's approximately 2:45 PM—with hunger speaking in the plural and demanding revenge. The appetizer arrives triumphantly: shredded panzanella (the "post-trauma wet bread" version), sad-looking beans and polenta, frozen croquettes saved only because they weren't burned like those on the other half of the table, where they'd experimented with the "one-sided flamethrower" technique. A five and a half of encouragement rather than taste. Then the pasta, served in Flemish style like a centurion's mess: cacio e pepe, gricia, amatriciana... all the same. The same smell of nothing, the same taste of little, the same fate: either overcooked or almost raw. Al dente? Yes, but in the sense that it remained... between your teeth. The second courses, poor things, arrive with the tired air of defeated gladiators: saltimbocca reduced to crispy parchment, chicken with peppers dating back to the Jurassic, and some meatballs in tomato sauce that, with a little faith, could even be called "good" and costing 6.5 euros. The house wine deserves a chapter of its own: a promising color, but the first sip evokes experiences from an alchemy lab. A dry 2, and only because a 1 would have seemed bad. The place, cold and a little melancholic, tries to cheer itself up with unlikely decorations: a fake overhanging roof with fake tiles, beneath which hang fake plastic plants, tired of life, that seem to beg for mercy more than light. The only real positive note: a young waiter, eager but disoriented, trying to figure out who we were and where we'd come from, with the expression of someone who doesn't know whether to bring us the bill or a sedative. In the end, we left exhausted but laughing. We had traveled through Rome, the chaos, the switchboard, and the hunger. Not a lunch, but a gastronomic pilgrimage into the absurd. A once-in-a-lifetime experience—in the sense that, I swear, we won't repeat it. Overall rating: a stretched 5. I sincerely hope the restaurant manages to improve, both in terms of service and cuisine, and that it doesn't rest on the tiredness of the cooks or the improvisation of the switchboard. The concept and the atmosphere deserve better: it doesn't take much to transform an odyssey into a pleasant Roman lunch.

08/10/2025: Homey atmosphere, excellent Roman-style food, fantastic pasta dishes like carbonara, amatriciana, gricia, and even the main courses. You must try the beans with pork rinds, too!🫘

03/11/2025: I strongly advise against it! Then you decide! But don't say you haven't read it.

09/08/2025: Typical Roman restaurant. The staff is very friendly, the food is good and freshly prepared.

05/11/2025: The restaurant's verdict: "Good, but it could be better!" When the pizza arrived, we started eating. The pizza wasn't cut. The ham on the ham pizza was raw and hadn't been cooked! Then a street musician, apparently hired by the restaurant, came along. He couldn't even sing and only had four teeth left. A disgusting sight while eating.

03/11/2025: Came for a coffee and got kicked out that this is reataurant. That I should go to coffee bar instead. The restaurant was totally empty. Terrible service

10/10/2025: Unpretentious. Good, cheap food.

07/10/2025: Wonderful staff with smiles and all polite. The singing was lovely and the food was delicious! Also very accommodating to our friend who was gluten free!

08/11/2025: Skip this place!!!!! Very disappointed with our very first meal in Rome. We had lasagna and linguini with anchovie sauce. They had no flavor and very dry. No melted cheese in the lasagna. No spices in the bruschetta we ordered as an appetizer. Very plain, just cut up tomatoes with a leave of basin on top of a bread slice. Stofferr’s lasagna is better than this.

08/11/2025: American Stove top is honestly 20 times better I swear! So so disappointing and disgusting. Our first stop for Italian food not good. What was it 80 bucks?$80.00 euros gone!

07/10/2025: A quiet place to eat. The waiter spoke Spanish and was super nice and charming. When we paid in cash, they gave us a pesto. Thank you very much.

05/10/2025: The portions are pitifully small, service charges are mandatory, and the prices are outrageous.

30/10/2025: About eight years ago, when I was living in Italy for a month with my architect friend and my kids, we let the kids play at the Pantheon and had a cup of coffee there. The beer was refreshing. I didn't try the beer. @ In the morning, when there weren't any tourists, it was a great place to spend time, gazing at the Pantheon's exterior.

17/10/2025: The worst tiramisu I've ever had in Italy! Avoid it at all costs.

19/10/2025: The bill did not correspond to what we had eaten, very mixed feelings in the end

19/10/2025: Very bad experience at Trattoria Amici. They charged me almost €5 in made-up “extra” fees that weren’t listed on the menu, and they didn’t give me back €2 in change. When I mentioned it, they didn’t offer any explanation or solution. I left feeling like they took advantage of me. Definitely not recommended.
