I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina romana in Roma

12/11/2025: I went to this restaurant twice within a few months. In July I ordered the spaghetti Alfredo and it really is a wonderful experience. It's an event, I highly recommend it. I went back in November and ordered spaghetti alla vongole. I had wanted to try it in July and since the experience had been wonderful I thought it was worth going back. It was a disappointment. It lacked salt, it lacked seasoning. Not even the vongole, which I love, had any flavor. A shame. Their wine list is very good, the atmosphere is excellent, and the service is also very good. But, due to my bad experience on the second visit, I think it's only really worth it for the spaghetti alfredo, which, it seems, was created in this restaurant.

12/11/2025: The food was below average, nothing special, and the portions were very small for the price.

25/10/2025: the service was amazing mainly our waiter mike

25/10/2025: Friendly and helpful service. Shout out to Hassan! Great wine! :)

26/10/2025: The hotel has a perfect location. We didn't take any transport during our entire vacation. The room was well-equipped and clean. Upon arrival, we were a bit frightened because everything was older than in the photos. You have to go through a doorway and go up to the first floor, and when you enter, there's a somewhat shabby reception area. However, afterward, everything was perfect. Being in the heart of Rome, the rooms are quite soundproofed thanks to their double-glazed windows.

20/08/2025: Horrible service. The staff weren't interested of serving us. When we ordered Dolce menu we only received the pizza. After 90 minutes of waiting we finally succeeded in gaining their attention. They brought us the check and tried to make us pay for the tiramisu we never received. Don't go there.

09/11/2025: We had lunch at Burro e Sugo, enjoying a 30% discount through The Fork. Food Overall, the dishes were average, with no particular strengths or weaknesses, but with some contrasting surprises. I ordered cacio e pepe, which initially arrived without pecorino, with just parmesan and pepper, without the classic creamy sauce that characterizes the Roman dish, but with obvious oil and cooking water. After pointing this out quite clearly, I was brought a second course, this time correct and well-prepared, with the authentic flavor of the pecorino. However, the question remains as to why the first and second courses were different—a mistake, a lack of care, or perhaps different treatment depending on the customer. My mother ordered beef stew (presented as a roulade), which unfortunately she didn't like: the flavor was reminiscent of a packaged product, like canned meat. Another person chose the green pepper fillet, which initially arrived completely raw inside (not rare, but raw). After having it recooked, it came back to the table well-cooked and finally tasty, even though the wait was long. Service and Organization Unfortunately, the most disappointing aspect of the experience was the service. We waited almost an hour for our order to be taken, and overall the meal lasted over two and a half hours. The dining room management seemed disorganized and slow. In particular, the waitress who served us was rather aloof and dismissive, and her manner wasn't particularly friendly. Bill and The Fork Discount Even when it came to the bill, we noticed some inconsistencies. The first receipt showed a higher amount than expected, and only after a lengthy review and several recalculations (correctly considering the 30% discount on food, not drinks) did we arrive at a more consistent figure. We later noticed a charge error—two portions of artichokes instead of one—for which we were partially refunded (€4.50 out of €7). Conclusion In summary, Burro e Sugo offers average cuisine, but the experience was marred by very slow service, chaotic organization, and unclear billing. Although some dishes were ultimately acceptable, overall we would not return.

09/11/2025: I'm not in the habit of writing negative reviews, but since I'm used to being honest, I can't help but do so. We happened upon this place by chance, near the vintage show, enticed by the positive reviews we'd read. We didn't have a table reservation. The orders took forever to arrive at our table of four, all in random order, forcing us to eat one at a time. A forgotten appetizer even arrived with one of the first courses. The wait staff was very committed, but spoke and understood little Italian. A 75 cc bottle of still water cost €2, and the coffee arrived, just as we were paying the bill, for €2 in a small plastic cup. I'm trying to be understanding, thinking that it was all due to the staff being capable but insufficient for the number of seats in the crowded indoor and outdoor dining room. Other customers had similar complaints. With a few adjustments, it could improve.

25/09/2025: Not bad but I’m sorry I don’t like the taste. Crowded and you have to wait for suitable table.

23/09/2025: Legendary.....long live Mario and Teresa!!!🫶

11/08/2025: We went to this restaurant based off of the recommendations from online reviews and Anthony Bourdains travel series. THIS IS NOT the restaurant that people are recommending. While appearances on the outside are the same, the sign above the door still reads Trattoria Settimio and the website and phone number still read Trattoria Settimio, once we were sat down we realized the menu and place mats had a different restaurants name. Not till after did we see a lone review that noted that the restaurant was sold and has changed hands. Food and service was decent but it seems that they are using the likeness and reputation of the Anthony Bourdain recommendation to garner customers.

21/11/2025: We were recommended to go to this restaurant because it was said to have one of the best Carbonaras in Rome, and it truly is! The price isn't high. We also ordered the house dessert, prosciutto, and two glasses of wine. We were also very well received by the waiter Mauro, who spoke Portuguese and served us very well.

14/11/2025: The classic Roman pasta here - carbonara and cacio e pepe - are really good. Perfectly seasoned, al dante, and the carbonana especially is strictly egg and cheese and none of the heavy cream nonsense like in the US. The ossobuco was good, but the tomato sauce does taste like it's made by a grandma but not in the best way (I suspect that's the reason why one review said it was a "canned sauce"). Well, it's a Lombardy dish. Stick with the Roman dishes and you'll be fine! The part of the restaurant I sat in had a weird smell, but not the rest of the restaurant. The host was just fine and there was a good mix of locals and tourists. I'd recommend this restaurant if you're in the area, but no need to go out of your way for it.

08/06/2025: Este restaurante es una joya del barrio. Si quieres una comida fantástica que esté lejos de las trampas turísticas, visita Al Viminale. Todo lo que pedimos estaba muy bien cocinado, era súper fresco, y delicioso. ¡Debo intentarlo en Roma!

01/06/2025: Pudimos reservar una mesa aquí antes de nuestra llegada a Roma, que era conveniente. El personal es amable y servicial. La comida era buena. Necesitábamos recordarles una guarnición, pero no le restó valor a la experiencia.

12/10/2025: I wonder what Alessandro Borghese found in this place, which is nothing exceptional compared to other places in the area. Average food, confusing service, a long wait, and a rude owner who, when we were late for our reservation, scolded us like schoolchildren in a confidential and arrogant manner, certainly not welcoming to customers who travel so many kilometers to get there. I can understand her handing over the reservation to others given the influx, but I don't understand being treated rudely, given that getting to the castles on a Sunday can cause a delay due to traffic. It ruined my lunch.

05/10/2025: The food is good, and I can't complain, but the waiter was truly rude. He repeatedly offered us solutions just to rip us off and make us spend more, with no regard for our needs. When we let him decide certain things, we were horribly ripped off. Obviously, the end of the story is a bad mood due to the excessive food he brought us, and the inflated bill, which he also didn't specify on the receipt. There are plenty of other options in Ariccia; I'll never return.

27/07/2025: The house antipasto was excellent and plentiful, the pizza was very good, a generous size, thin and crispy, and excellent in flavor. The pappardelle with wild boar ragù was VERY good, and the service was courteous and prompt. In the summer heat, the sparkling wine on tap was definitely a welcome treat. See you soon!!!

09/06/2025: As for the experience in this place, it is definitely not to be repeated. We are only talking about the pizza product consumed in this restaurant, obviously nothing else that I cannot judge. The product is presented in small dimensions that immediately gave the impression of being little more than a cheap focaccia but with the same cost as a normal-sized pizza, with a dough that is too biscuity to seem little similar to what one would expect from a traditional pizza. Friendly staff.

06/06/2025: Very cozy place, nice staff, very tasty food, I got to this restaurant by chance because there was no room in the neighboring ones, in the pictures in the reviews it seems that the portions are quite small but in fact the portions are standard, very tasty food. I ordered grilled vegetables, beef with mushrooms (I want to note that the mushrooms are not champignons as everywhere standard, the mushrooms look like honey mushrooms) very tasty, and ordered a Spritz drink. The restaurant itself has a large selection of wines and alcoholic drinks, not expensive and very tasty. I recommend

06/10/2025: Terrible experience. I went to this place to celebrate my birthday with an aperitif, at the recommendation of two friends who had already been there during the summer and had a great time. We arrived and were seated in a partially enclosed outdoor area, without any heating (considering the temperatures in Rome these days, it wasn't pleasant) on extremely uncomfortable wicker sofas and armchairs, with cushions so thin they might as well have been nonexistent. A friend asked for a vegan option, and was told they'd bring her the classic aperitif and she could leave out the meat. Another person in the group asked for a gluten-free aperitif. After a while, they bring us the appetizers, but the gluten-free one doesn't arrive. After 3 reminders and about 40 minutes of waiting, with waiters who barely speak Italian and don't even know what they're bringing to your table, the appetizer for the celiac finally arrives. It consists of a gluten-free focaccia, a plate of exclusively grilled eggplant and zucchini (they could have brought it to the vegan, but they didn't), and only 2 pieces of meat sushi. No cold cuts, no olives, nothing else. Everything was requested at least 2-3 times before it was brought to us. Terrible service, totally disorganized. At one point, I even feared they'd lost the cake I'd brought to celebrate my birthday because the waiter couldn't figure out which one it was. Ultimately, they even made me pay for cutting the cake for terrible service and a colossal embarrassment to the people I'd invited. I even went to the other side of Rome for a place like this... Never again!!

27/09/2025: The pizza isn't good, the wait is too long for a raw, watery, and very small pizza. The staff isn't very attentive.

12/11/2025: The setting in an narrow alley usually offers peace in a hyper toursity town. But this alley allows cars to go through. So the dining experience is watching a slow stream of car scraping by. It is half-entertaining. Doing it for once is quite okay. Repeating it is not my dream. Service was not super fast, but I was not forgotten. And the young lady seemed to genuinely care that I enjoyed the food.

26/10/2025: After a long tour, we enjoyed lunch on the restaurant's terrace. Friendly staff and delicious Italian and Bavarian cuisine.

19/11/2025: First of all, the staff are friendly and courteous. The food is, of course, delicious. I devoured all the pasta and tiramisu. It's located slightly down from the main Piazza Navona area, but that makes the prices reasonable. The terrace interior is also wonderful. I highly recommend it.

17/11/2025: Great atmosphere, welcoming staff, fresh and delicious food

03/11/2025: When I got some bonus money from the website (shown in the photo), I knew it was time to treat myself! Went to a cozy place, ordered pasta — and wow, it was. Rich flavor, generous portion. That’s how a random bonus turned into a great evening.

02/11/2025: Their pizzas and pastas are delicious. The service was excellent; they even gave us a complimentary appetizer of bread and meat. The Limoncello is superb—strong and flavorful. 👌
