I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina romana in Roma

18/08/2025: Excellent food, excellent service in a very pleasant, chic setting.

04/08/2025: In a Rome of stone and light, a stone's throw from that eternal heart that beats between Monti and the Quirinale, I rediscovered a discreet and refined gem: the Matermatuta restaurant. The atmosphere in the internal courtyard was suspended, thanks to a balmy, bright evening and impeccable service that welcomed without being intrusive, with sincere smiles and an elegant professionalism that can't be learned from a textbook. Then came the pink shrimp tartare. And here every word risks sounding like an exaggeration. But no. It was perfect in texture, fresh as the sea in the morning, delicate yet with a precise character, almost musical in the way it harmonized with the aromas of the dish and the sweet air of the courtyard. It wasn't just good: it was just right. That tartare spoke an ancient and simple language, that of the sea and the art of savoir faire. The restaurant is centrally located yet secluded, like those places that offer themselves to those who know how to look without haste. Inside, warm lights and refined spaces; Outside, a Roman corner that seems designed for slow conversations and toasts that come slowly. The entire staff moves with grace and ease: nothing is mechanical, everything is authentic. And this, in Rome, has a rare value. If I had to describe what elegance means to me, I'd say it's precisely this: a place where everything is carefully thought out but nothing is ostentatious. And in a city where the offerings are endless, finding a restaurant like Matermatuta is like finding a friendly face in the crowd. One of those who, once met, are never forgotten.

04/09/2025: We went here on the guide's recommendation. I tried four dishes and they were all good, so it seems like they're good at everything. The pizza and pasta were great, and the seafood pasta okobuso wrapped in foil was delicious. And they're really friendly. I dropped my knife on the floor and was embarrassed, but the staff member said it wasn't my fault, and that she was too slippery to hold it, and kept poking around on the floor to playfully teased me. LOL. They even joke around in Korean. I highly recommend them.

04/09/2025: Ibra gave us great service and the food was excellent too. The lasagna was perfect. The service was fast.

12/06/2025: Everything is good. Especially the seafood dishes.

08/06/2025: Best dinner I ever had in Italy, which means a lot. The pasta was amazing, the wine absolutely delicious and the service great (although nobody speaks any English, but it’s part of the experience)

23/06/2025: Came back here after 6 years of a great experience and found out that nothing has changed! Still a restaurant with good food, good service and good price! Hope to come back again sooner than in 6 years!

22/06/2025: Delicious pasta! Highly recommended if you want to try Roman cuisine. But also the staff is super welcoming! Thank you very much

11/09/2025: I’ve been here five wonderful times but I’m so embarrassed to have brought my friends here tonight. I have no problem with relaxed service but I’ve never been ignored by a waiter for over 40 minutes. Took 90 minutes to get water. After nearly two hours our meals finally came out. Two meals were good but the roast pork was dry. The wine is usually great, but unfortunately the rosato was terribly sweet. The red wines we had were lovely - would have loved another glass but it was impossible to order. What a disappointment.

10/09/2025: We had such a great time at Ai Tre Scalini! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a fun, bustly vibe that makes you feel part of the energy of the place. The music — classic American oldies — added so much charm, and we loved when the staff broke into song. Our waiter had a fantastic sense of humor, kept us laughing, and was wonderfully attentive throughout the meal. The wine was excellent and clearly chosen with care. Food-wise, everything we tried was spot on — especially the Caesarina salad, the lasagna, and the ricotta ravioli. Of all the meals we had in Rome, this is the one place I’d tell my friends they have to try if they’re in the area. It’s the kind of spot that gives you not just a meal, but a memory.

22/08/2025: A typical Roman restaurant, serving delicious, simple, tasty, and plentiful dishes. Above-average value for money. The staff is polite, professional, and attentive, always available to accommodate any request. Katia and Slavica are exceptional. Top chefs, highly recommended. I'll be back often, it's worth it.

22/08/2025: Host was an absolute joy. Food was pretty good my only thought is that the arrabiata had no spice.

25/07/2025: Family service, generous portions, delicious food 😋 Everything was exceptional Thank you so much 😘

24/07/2025: Excellent cuisine, simple but welcoming and clean place, polite, kind and friendly staff

09/09/2025: Very good food. The place is nice but small, and the tables are very close together, which makes the atmosphere very noisy. I would recommend it.

09/09/2025: Awesome smash burgers and great service.

11/09/2025: Great food, super, and very nice, service. If there's one place in Rome I get "a taste of Rome" it's here.

04/09/2025: A spectacle. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. 10+

15/08/2025: Food was the best we had the whole week we stayed in Rome. The staff didn’t speak English very well, but they helped us very well still! Prices were great, especially for how good the food was.

12/08/2025: Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my stay. The food wasn't up to expectations, given the many positive reviews. The only positive was the price.

27/08/2025: A real discovery... Excellent pizza, first courses, and desserts, what we ordered. Beautiful and familiar place, with a great Sign (I think the owner) who makes you feel at home. We will definitely be back. Tip: create a smoky atmosphere!

26/08/2025: Excellent food. Almost excellent service. The prices are reasonable.

28/08/2025: Located in a location with a stunning view of Rome, this centuries-old restaurant is a must-try if you want to eat well and make a great impression. The menu is frequently updated with seasonal products, but some traditional staples remain, like their absolutely must-try cacio e pepe. The desserts they prepare with care and love are also noteworthy. I recommend the zuppa inglese if you can find it, because it literally sells out quickly.

27/08/2025: Our son's graduation dinner on July 24th on a wonderful terrace with a truly lovely atmosphere. The chef was superb and the staff was extra helpful. As a surprise, they even delivered a wonderful cake from the pastry chef! Superb! Marina Morelli

11/09/2025: Spectacular!!! I came here on the recommendation of a Roman. The carbonara pasta is some of the best in Italy!

07/09/2025: We went there last night for a birthday. The food was excellent, and the service was very fast. It's a shame the atmosphere was a bit noisy, but that really didn't matter. Excellent fried food, incredibly delicious carbonara and amatriciana, and a pizza to indulge in that was practically illegal...

13/09/2025: This is my second time here, amazing food, they have gluten free pasta which was good, we had the spaghetti shrimp pasta with tomato sauce. This time we came back for the steak (slice fillet steak), don't miss it!! They also provided gluten free bread which was great.

13/09/2025: This was our second visit to the restaurant, and once again it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the mixed vegetables and replaced the ham with beef carpaccio, which turned out to be a very delicious starter. For the main course, we had the beef fillet steak served with spinach, broccoli, and a baked potato — perfectly cooked and flavorful. The staff were very friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, creating a warm atmosphere. Considering the quality of food and service, it offers very good value for money.

08/09/2025: I had high expectations on this one since it was recommended by a local. The dishes we ordered are depicted on the receipt. Everything, other than the grilled chicken and the spaghetti dish, is good; especially the oxtail. I had much better pasta dishes. This cabonara spaghetti is not as good as other reviews described; the spaghetti is a little undercooked. The worst is the grilled chicken. The chicken was overcooked, too dry, and no flavors. The eatery can be filled up quickly during peak meal time; therefore, a reservation through its website is recommended.

05/09/2025: Very Very nice restaurant, good home-made pasta and the oxtail. FLAMINIA service was excellent
