I migliori ristoranti in Roma

04/11/2025: I booked a full five days in advance. The norm, right? Wrong. THE STAFF: I get there and they hadn't even taken our names...they let us sit after about fifteen minutes, but oh well, we were hungry and ready anyway. This young guy greets us, who I don't think had the slightest idea where he was or what he was doing there...and we ask, "What do you recommend?" A silent scene continues. We ask, "Can you bring us the menus?" He turns and goes to call the head waiter...and whatever. He arrives and shouts, laughing, "Whatever you want here"... but as soon as he starts listing the "dishes," he adds that practically everything is missing. THE FOOD: You pretend to be Roman and make me carbonara with cream and bacon cooked 10 days ago and reheated in the microwave. They made portions for 10 of us, but there were only 2 of us...what kind of plan is that? We completely skipped the main course, and looking at the other tables, there were... two pieces of chicken... two strips... two broccoli... but two for number, eh? There was a table next to us with a dozen people celebrating a birthday, and when the lights went out, to surprise them, they simply turned them off and sang. Then they turned them back on. No cake... the kids were clearly confused... from what I understand, they had brought the cake... what happened to it? THE BILL: Anyone who knows Bottarolo knows him for his damned bill... they tell you 25 euros for an all-you-can-eat meal, but we only had the main course and a drink (that was awful, too). I paid. If you know any inspectors, financial police, Ghostbusters, or Avengers, call them and have them intervene. I know some inspectors... almost. Bye bye I see that if I give you 1 star, it raises your average... come on.

26/10/2025: A HORROR You can't have a Roman name, pass yourself off as a typical Roman restaurant, and then have TOTALLY Indian (or similar) management. Without taking anything away from ethnicity and culture, BUT if I had wanted "non-Roman" food, I would have made a different choice. Regardless of the details, the food was inedible, and we felt sick. The staff is very kind and helpful, truly friendly, but unfortunately, the dining experience was awful.

06/07/2025: Dolci buoni ma costosissimi. Acquistare a 7 euro ,l'equivalente di 14 euro, una crostatina con le fragoline non ha prezzo, anzi c'è l'ha eccome! Vi faccio i miei complimenti!!!! io mi domando e dico ma i controlli da chi di dovere dove sono? Viviamo nell'anarchia più totale. Voi vi direte: "bene, se non la vuoi non la compri". Ma non è così che funziona o che dovrebbe funzionare. Mi chiedo solo di questo passo dove arriveremo! VERGOGNA

06/07/2025: Ci siamo fermati per fare colazione, cameriere molto gentile e simpatico. Servizio veloce. I maritozzi sono molto buoni, per quanto riguarda il caffè freddo mi aspettavo una porzione maggiore, così come il cappuccino freddo che non presentava la schiuma. Ci sono diverse altre varianti appaganti. Banco dei dolci molto fornito.

27/09/2025: In 2025, an ice cream shop that doesn't have granitas. Okay, I'll have a cone... no fruit flavors... Unfortunately, I can't give 0 stars, otherwise I would have! Scandalous

26/09/2025: The zabaglione semifreddo will always be in my heart. Excellent ice cream shop.

31/07/2025: Il cibo servito era molto scadente, inoltre non ci hanno portato dei piatti e ci volevano fare pagare ancora. Arroganti.

09/07/2025: Originalissimo, geniale: per assaporare combinazioni di gusti piacevoli e stuzzicanti in un locale allegro e tranquillo! Mangi bene paghi 🆗. Servizio veloce e pratico! 🎯👍

30/09/2025: Fantastic cakes and desserts I recommend

25/09/2025: I ordered a cake for my nephew's 18th birthday. I went there several times and even called to make sure the cake looked like the photo the lady at the pastry shop took to show the pastry chef. Moral of the story: the cake, while good, was awful and didn't look anything like the photo I'd given. I pointed this out when I picked it up and then, of course, went back to tell them, but by then, €75 was gone. It was enough to say they weren't capable; sincerity is unknown. Too bad.

14/10/2025: I’ve never been as badly treated as I’ve been in this cafe. Five minutes a expresso a bottle of water and a hot chocolat and a tone of indiference and prejudice in the air. Because we are tourists, because we are brown, because we are latins? We’ll never know… The truth is: we have to earn 6x more Brazilian money to pay for stuff as well as everyone else over here and we simply demmand the same treatment at least. If you are not italian, don’t spend your money in there!

13/10/2025: It is closed while it says it should be open.

01/09/2025: To buy two slices of reheated, stuffed pizza, we spent €8.30… that's all there is to it. (Drinks not included)

27/08/2025: 2 normal slices of pizza and a bottle of still water 6 euros and 40...you won't see me again

16/11/2025: The burger was presented awfully but it tasted good.

09/11/2025: The shop assistants are bitter and rude…

22/07/2025: Substandard food, just like the ones they drive his vans with! One of his men almost killed us!

14/04/2025: FAIC PADERNO DUGNANO, as a fishmonger I also had to make deliveries with the van otherwise they would get annoyed, after three months the contract was not renewed, for €1440 plus a €200 meal voucher! The last paycheck they paid me only €1210 TFR HOLIDAYS NOT TAKEN AND ROL HIGHLIGHTED IN THE SKILLS BUT NOT PAID INTO MY ACCOUNT, I write to their email and no one replies! They will definitely do so when my lawyer contacts them! Greetings ANGELO GIARDINA

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!🫘

28/07/2025: Localização eh ótima , drinks bons, entrada boa, mas prato principal abaixo do padrão italiano , macarrão Alfredo com chichen, sem molho , e sem tempero , inaceitável …!!!!! Errou feio!!!!!!!!!!

14/07/2025: Tenía una pizza Quattro Formaggi muy buena y a un precio razonable, perseguida por un buen tiramisú, expreso y limoncello. También kudos extra para pantallas de televisión que muestran la final de Wimbledon mens.

04/11/2025: A friendly waiter who charged my phone while I enjoyed an aperitivo!

30/10/2025: Worst pizza in Rome The dough is like paper! Wrong choice!

09/11/2025: Truly excellent pizzas, frittatas with delicious cooking, perhaps the only criticism is the cooking of the montanara, which was a bit behind, the place is more dedicated to delivery, very kind staff, we will definitely be back.

04/11/2025: The burgers are too small for the price but of excellent quality.
