I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina romana in Lazio

27/08/2025: Aug 26/2026 owner confirmed restaurant has been sold, is closed.

21/07/2025: Extremely good kitchen and food. All extremely delicious. Not easy to find nowadays. Old school quality.

16/11/2025: Great place. I'm only taking one star off because of the limited vegan pizza selection.

12/11/2025: Average. Maybe the wrong timing.

01/11/2025: Atmosphere and Experience (4/5): Arriving without a reservation on a weekday at 1:30 PM and waiting 30 minutes for a table inside demonstrates the restaurant's popularity, especially for its charming and immersive atmosphere. Choosing the indoor area, described as more beautiful, seems to have been worthwhile, contributing to an authentic and pleasant experience. The only point to consider is the wait, which, although understandable given the prestige of the place (open since 1870), can be a small inconvenience for those seeking speed. Service (5/5): The waiter Sebastian was a highlight, with service described as excellent, friendly, and relaxed. This warm and professional approach elevates the experience, especially in a traditional restaurant like La Matriciana, where hospitality is essential to reflect Roman authenticity. Food (5/5): The dishes ordered – rigatoni alla matriciana and spaghetti with anchovies – were described as very tasty and well-prepared, which is a great indication of the quality of the cuisine. The matriciana, a typical Roman dish, seems to have met expectations, and the spaghetti with anchovies was also a success. The bread basket and the complimentary portion of olives add a welcoming touch and reinforce the restaurant's generosity. Value for Money (4.5/5): The prices were considered good, especially for the quality of the food and the overall experience. The expression "worth the view" suggests that the interior ambiance and the overall experience justify the price paid. There is no mention of exorbitant prices, which is positive for a historic restaurant in the heart of Rome. Overall Impression (4.5/5): La Matriciana offers an authentic and memorable gastronomic experience, with high-quality food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that reflects Roman tradition since 1870. The 30-minute wait is a minor inconvenience, but it doesn't seem to have compromised the experience. The combination of well-executed dishes, complimentary bread and olives, and a charismatic waiter like Sebastian makes the restaurant an excellent choice for those seeking immersion in Roman cuisine and culture. Recommendation: Definitely recommended for anyone visiting Rome and wanting to experience traditional dishes in a historic setting. Making a reservation can help avoid waiting, especially for those who prefer the indoor area. Perfect for lunches or dinners that combine good food with a welcoming atmosphere and first-class service.

30/10/2025: So, so delicious! We specifically went to try Roman dishes, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them: cacio e pepe, carbonara, veal saltimbocca, oxtail, fried artichoke, chicory, and the tiramisu! Good to note, though, is that we lined up outside shortly before opening on a Thursday night and barely got a table (people after us were waiting ~45 to be seated), so reservations are recommended.

01/11/2025: Friendly and pleasant staff, accompanied by good home cooking: a very good place!

20/10/2025: Classic Roman trattoria. Good value. Generous portions.

10/11/2025: Good traditional cuisine. The place has poor acoustics, making it difficult to communicate with your fellow diners. The quality/price ratio isn't great.

23/10/2025: Roman cuisine with pleasant variations, in summer it is very pleasant to eat in the shade of centuries-old trees, with good service

28/10/2025: A great place to celebrate something or just enjoy a leisurely meal made with good quality and fresh ingredients. Don't go if you're in a hurry. We made the mistake going on a school night and left the restaurant past midnight. There aren't many vegan or vegetarian options on the menu but if you ask the waiter they are happy to accommodate. Just have this one photo because forgot to take others but the lobster pasta dish was divine. Also the soufflé dessert (can easily share for two people).

24/10/2025: This place is phenomenal. Was super impressed by the service, setting and well thought out menu. Went with my wife for a dinner for two on a Tuesday and was treated to an exceptional meal and bottle of Barolo. Big fan, will come back when I am around in December. Complements to the team who runs the place.

10/10/2025: Fantastic discovery, dinner with friends, we enjoyed every course. I'll be back.

19/08/2025: Roman cuisine, pizza, and meat...a wonderful discovery.

15/11/2025: Simple, osteria-like atmosphere. Good traditional Roman cuisine. There are a few things to note: - a supplì costs €4 (perhaps the most expensive I've seen so far). We didn't order it. - we ordered something off the menu, ravioli with pumpkin and other ingredients. They were good, but there were four of them. Four of them. €17. Crazy. In general, however, the prices for the other dishes are normal.

31/10/2025: Authentic cuisine in a genuine and welcoming neighborhood restaurant

05/10/2025: Exceptional traditional Roman pasta in Trastevere! Highly recommended!

04/10/2025: A good place for groups. We had a great time. The pasta carbonara was spectacular, I ate it out of greed. The Pepe cacho was also delicious. And we thought it was very reasonably priced.

04/11/2025: extremely salty, undercooked pasta

04/11/2025: The large wisteria and veranda area are distinctive, offering traditional dishes in a tranquil setting. The pinsa is excellent, and the wine list is extensive.

16/11/2025: I'm coming back after a year... I'm disappointed, the food isn't good anymore... nothing special ☹️... the prices have gone up... the quality has gone down!!! What a shame!

09/11/2025: Truly adorable place, with a welcoming outdoor seating area. After so many enjoyable meals here, it was one of our favorites... unfortunately, we've decided not to return. During our last visit, we were disappointed by the rudeness of some of the staff: after a rich lunch (there were six of us and we spent a considerable amount), they rushed the bill and repeatedly asked us to leave, even though I was visibly breastfeeding my son. Five more minutes certainly wouldn't have made a difference. Such an uninclusive and unsympathetic attitude completely ruins the experience. The food is okay, but not exceptional, and tends to be overpriced. We asked for bread to be warmed (which is paid for) and were told no.

04/10/2025: A guarantee for Roman cuisine. The artichoke gricia is my favorite, also good with asparagus and, when they're not in season, with porcini mushrooms. Fair prices and super generous portions! The Roman-style pizza is excellent, especially the amatriciana. I highly recommend it, also for the courtesy and professionalism of the staff.

26/09/2025: Our favorite restaurant in Rome. Family owned and great food.

23/10/2025: Great service, great food and lovely atmosphere at Dante’s!

18/10/2025: The food is truly delicious, with excellent first courses! Try it and believe it!

09/10/2025: Truly incredible food. The cacio e pepe was fantastic, as was the meatballs and the carbonara. Everything was so fresh.

09/10/2025: ...the bread they serve is truly "worthy of denunciation".

18/11/2025: Keep in mind that it is in a mass tourist area, and that always detracts from the experience. Overall, a reasonable experience.

17/11/2025: An excellent lunch for a change from Roman cuisine. Original, traditional dishes made with authentic ingredients, tasty yet light. The extremely friendly staff pays attention to their guests and pampers them with a mint tea to finish, a signature dish of this cuisine. Highly recommended. I'll be back.
