I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina romana in Lazio

05/10/2025: When in Rome . . . you must go to Piccolo Abruzzo for dinner! Tiny and quaint, this local trattoria serves up delicious meals with impeccable service. Ricky is a gem of a waiter, warm and welcoming. As someone who never goes anywhere twice, I dined here on two consecutive nights. That says it all.

04/10/2025: Fried artichoke was good. Had the Thursday night gnocchi special. Expected firmer and smaller dumplings. Too big and too soft.

12/10/2025: A very clean and welcoming place, attentive waiters, and smooth service. I knew I was on the safe side when I booked dinner to celebrate my anniversary, and we weren't disappointed! The strength of "Mazzo"'s dishes lies in their balance of flavor and character, while also giving a nod to Roman tradition! They also have a wide selection of wines (I can't say much about this because I'm neither a drinker nor a connoisseur, but my partner was pleasantly surprised). Here are a few photos to give you an idea of ​​what we ordered. We hope to be back soon!

03/10/2025: Francesca and Marco never disappoint. Eating here is a mystical experience. A caress to the heart. It means loving yourself. And we love them dearly. Highly recommended.

11/10/2025: I'd recommend sticking with pizza. We tried the carbonara and the cacio e pepe, but they were absolutely mediocre. The carbonara wasn't creamy, and the bacon wasn't crispy, and it was supermarket-quality. The cacio e pepe was very runny and poorly blended. I think the problem lies in the fact that no one in the kitchen knows traditional dishes anymore; they haven't attended a proper cooking school, but have approached the kitchen by copying and from bad teachers.

09/10/2025: Attentive, friendly and fast service from a classic Roman tavern

11/10/2025: I'm in Rome with my son, and we head for lunch at this historic trattoria, which opens at 12:30, but we didn't have a reservation. Luckily, they give us a table, and for an hour, we're immersed in a Roman atmosphere of lamb with "parate" sauce, meatballs with tomato sauce, and artichokes "alla giudia" (Jewish-style). The staff are incredibly kind, and the food is unforgettable.

08/10/2025: Terrible service... I made a reservation, arrived, and was assigned a cramped table in a corner where I couldn't move. The restaurant was still empty, and I asked if I could get another. They said "this or nothing." I replied, "Then nothing." They took the menu and said, "You're welcome," pointing to the exit door. Avoid it. Go elsewhere.

22/10/2025: Loved the variety on the menu, and the pasta was great! I also counted the calories using the service shown in the photo — quick and convenient. I’m using it regularly now to track my meals.

13/10/2025: Super delicious. We didn't wait in line (important) and ate very well. Delicious pasta with ricotta and cacio, and pasta with meat... the most delicious pasta with meat, in our opinion. Very, very delicious. For dessert, the lemon sorbet is delicious! Highly recommended.

05/10/2025: Truly everything is exceptional!!!!!

27/09/2025: Excellent restaurant Pasta with anchovies and breadcrumbs, cuttlefish and calamari, sea bream, truly exceptional fried anchovies, and the desserts too 🫶🏻

14/10/2025: Had an excellent traditional italian meal and my bfriend had a very good pizza. The food and wine was much cheaper than other restaurants in the area. So really good value for money and worth a visit. Service was good.

09/10/2025: Nice, friendly, fast service, good home-cooked food. Simple and nice.

13/10/2025: A restaurant with good potential, but several aspects need rethinking. We happened upon this restaurant on the main street while passing by, attracted by the good reviews. A small restaurant (about thirty seats) with a family atmosphere: the owner and his daughter are welcoming and kind, although the service is a bit disorganized. My companion had a half portion of chestnut and porcini soup, very good but very small (maybe three spoonfuls, for €7). Next, cod with porcini mushrooms, good and a decent portion. I ordered the "old-fashioned meatballs" (€14), expecting a home-style dish with tomato sauce or plain sauce. Instead, I received three fried and breaded meatballs, not specified on the menu. I had to remove the breading, and the result was disappointing. Aside, a portion of salad for €3—literally two leaves from a bag. The wine was very good, but overall we spent €54, and I ended up not eating. The place has good potential, but the portions, menu clarity, and value for money could be improved. The wait was quite long.

05/10/2025: Fast and friendly service. Superb food. Recommended.

17/10/2025: This restaurant was recommended to us by our guest house host. It's unfortunate to read some of the reviews here, including from locals, on how this restaurant has apparently changed, but we really enjoyed our experience here, especially as we had given up for the night trying to find something good and authentic and available in nearby Trastevere. We started with the fried artichoke, which I thought could have been a bit more fried, but was still very good. We also had the battered cod, which was a surprisingly large portion, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. As a main we shared the chili chicken, with some roasted potatoes and a green salad, and this was also excellent. For dessert, the panna cotta — which is not my favourite to be honest — but this one I enjoyed, as it was fresh and firm and flavourful. We accompanied everything with a surprisingly inexpensive (€22) and perfectly acceptable bottle of Syrah, and some limoncello as a digestif. Service was smiling and attentive throughout and although the woman at the cash was somewhat 'businesslike' as others have mentioned, we didn't find this at all unusual or out of place for Rome, as that's her job after all, and it must be exhausting dealing with the endless tourists (like us). An older gentleman, who I assumed was the owner, was also present and was very pleasant and appreciative when we complimented him on our meal. So, while I naturally defer to the opinions of the locals, our own experience was very enjoyable, and in a quiet and relaxing location without the crowds and hassles of Trastevere. And for all of that, highly recommend.

16/10/2025: Ate the most delicious Tagliononi al lemon here. A must!

19/10/2025: On Sunday 5th October we ate 2 pizzas, 2 suppli, 1 bottle of water, 2 small beers, we paid €58, cover charge €26, at the till they gave us €4 back after we pointed out that perhaps they had made a mistake, never again theft

13/09/2025: Top-notch kindness and courtesy, breathtaking view, excellent dishes

25/10/2025: Zero customer service. Better to go elsewhere: the box of porcini mushrooms is out in plain sight: when they bring them to your plate, they're four tiny, whitish mushrooms, three or four centimeters in diameter. You've got me, okay? The waiter doesn't let you taste the wine, like, "I have this, I drink this." The pasta arrives cold at the table (there were not many people, no excuses): clearly too much time has passed from the kitchen to the table: poor and inattentive service. It's very reminiscent of those cheap, cheap trattorias that once reigned supreme in Rome. Fortunately, today it's much better almost everywhere. Avoid.

22/10/2025: I have read many positive reviews of this place, perhaps all those customers went for dinner. I went for lunch where the service is non-existent. We had a fried appetizer and sent them back because they were still frozen inside. The first course of fregola was full of butter so much so that it covered the taste of the dish. The tagliolini with porcini mushrooms were completely tasteless. It is certainly a place where I would never return.

03/10/2025: The atmosphere was lovely, the service was incredible (the waiter, Andrea, speaks a little Portuguese and is very helpful). I had the shrimp parpadeli, which was spectacular. For dessert, we had tiramisu, which was good, but the cannoli was divine. If we return to Rome, this will definitely be a must-see for dinner.

29/09/2025: Great service, great food, a good evening out, the staff were fun and friendly definitely recommend a meal here 😊

08/10/2025: One of the better options in the area. Went twice during a few days in Rome due to convenient location and would return again without hesitation.

08/10/2025: A few years ago, I visited here, and although the staff were rude, the food was delicious, and they were kind enough to give me a tip when paying. I returned this time, but I won't be going back. This is the only place in Italy where I felt I was discriminated against. It left a very bad impression on me. I don't recommend it.

14/10/2025: Everything was truly excellent, from the high-quality, tasty food to typical Roman dishes. The service was impeccable, too. We'll definitely be back.

14/10/2025: It's always a pleasure to spend a few hours at this osteria. Delicious food, friendly staff, and impeccable cleanliness. Excellent value for money.

21/10/2025: A truly unique place, it feels like home, and the owners seem like they've known you forever. Excellent quality food. The friendliness and warmth of the staff make it even more special.

21/10/2025: Excellent old-fashioned Roman trattoria, excellent traditional dishes, friendly and courteous service. I felt at home, and I hope to return. Thank you so much.
