On our quest for the best carbonara in Rome, we stumbled
On our quest for the best carbonara in Rome, we stumbled upon an unforgettable gem. When in Rome, after all, one must savor what Rome offers. This meal became one of the highlights of our European adventure through Italy, Spain, and France. It's no surprise this place boasts a Michelin star--it's entirely deserved. Every detail was perfect, from the impeccable service to the extensive and exquisite wine selection. The carbonara and burrata were the true stars, but everything we tried exceeded expectations. When we return to Rome, Roscioli will be our first stop.
Best breakfast!
One of the best breakfast we had in Italy the croissant and the coffee were amazing! The staff super friendly! Highly recommended!
I will never forget this meal. Heaven.
Simply some of the most delicious food Iโve ever had. We mostly stuck with cheese and cured meats, plus a couple of pastas. We were in heaven. Burrata, yes please. Mozzarella with anchovies and zucchini, insane. Reserve far in advance. Our servers were great.
"Don't leave Rome without going to Roscioli," a few friends
"Don't leave Rome without going to Roscioli," a few friends advised when I asked for suggestions for my vacation. I honestly can say that was some of the best advice. You do need to make reservations well in advance and I probably sent quite a few days looking on the calendar online for an opening until one day I saw a single 9:30p opening 3 days before I was scheduled to fly out. In person it is quite the small space, and you have the option to book outside, inside their market area, or downstairs in the wine cellar which is where we were seated... its kind of charming to lean back and be seating next to shelves of vintage wines. The service here is impeccable and the friendliest I experienced while in Rome. and I received great suggestions from the staff on wines and appetizers. Now for the food.... If you can imagine some of the best freshest pasta, perfectly cooked with the most flavorful sauces... that is what the experience is like here. I ordered the La matriciana o amatriciana, it had little flavorful bites of pork cheek in a very bright flavorful sauce. My partner ordered the Cacio e Pepe, it was fresh and cheesy. We also shared an order of the meatballs, which were juicy and tender. I dream of coming back here and ordering everything else on the menu.
Yes, you will meet every American foodie who is in Rome the
Yes, you will meet every American foodie who is in Rome the same time as you in this joint BUT... The carbonara here changed my life. Perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The way they cook the guanciale is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The cocktails are delicious and I would go back again and again. The do all 4 of the major pasta dishes with excellence. Get a reservation if you don't want the long line outside at dinnertime. Opt for a later dinner if that works for you. Our server/bartender was awesome even though she was overwhelmed at times with ever single of her staff looking to her for action or direction. She was very mindful that we didn't over order and she was patient in answering our questions. Ambiance is a consistent buzz and bustle. Servers are constantly busy and may bump into you a lot if you sit by the bar. A couple of them are cute so I didn't mind. Hehe. This place is very used to American diners (you'll see when you get there) but that's not there fault. It's a testament to their consistency and reliability. Priscilla is very much a great place for Roman staple dishes and then some. Go book a seat. You won't regret it.
Rating drop on promising meal
I was looking forward to dinner with the family here. The service was excellent. The waiter made some appetizer recommendations and they were very good. We ordered four different pasta dishes and they were all way, way over saltedโhence what would have been a five star rating was dropped to three. Maybe it was a one-off, but I would give this place another chance if we were staying here longer.
Having tried so many tiramisus in Italy, I have to say, the
Having tried so many tiramisus in Italy, I have to say, the tiramisu I had at this restaurant was the best of them all! Of course, I didn't make a reservation two months in advance just to have dessert. After hearing our server's recommendations, we also ordered: 1. la burrata pugliese con pomodorini: burrata was so fresh and balanced well with the sweet and tangy sun-dried tomatoes 2. burro e parmigiano "francescana" 3. "la gricia" di stefano: the crispy pork cheeks were absolutely delicious but can start to feel heavy after a few pieces 4. selection of prosciutto Overall we had a great experience at this restaurant, although I felt it was tailored more towards tourists because the tables around us all spoke English. I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a fancier meal.
Still adore Roscioli
The amazing ROSCIOLI never disappoints. Table perfect and where we like to sit In the Deli area. Delicious starters of Mortadella and a baked tomato caprese which was also divine with their yummy bread. For mains we each consumed their utterly magnificent Cacio e Pepe. Three times now and we savoirbevery morsel. Beyond delicious. Please give Rosciolis a try. It could never disappoint โค๏ธ
We had the opportunity to eat at the Roscioli in New York
We had the opportunity to eat at the Roscioli in New York and on our recent trip to Rome we were able to get a reservation at the original Roscioli. A cool restaurant/market. The inside is a little close quarters with more space at the back. A few bar seats are available as well. We ordered the bread to start which was fresh and delicious. The mortadella and caprese appetizers were delicious. The cacio e Pepe was the best I've ever had. The rigatoni was delicious as well. We split the meatballs which were great. We didn't order dessert but they surprised us with some chocolate sauce to snack on. Delicious meal. Highly recommend. Excellent service.
This restaurant definitely receives a 5 star!! Roscioli has
This restaurant definitely receives a 5 star!! Roscioli has the best carbonara past and tiramisu I've ever had! the service from the waiter was AMAZING, and they were so nice, and funny. I would really recommend going here if you are going on a trip to Rome, and if love pasta! (I recommend getting the La Carbonara, and/or the Fiori Di Zucca
Another great meal at Roscioli
Our fourth trip to Roscioli over the years and again it did not disappoint. We usually eat at the bar and this time selected the wine room. A bit more chaotic with everyone being seated simultaneously but nonetheless, the food quality and wine selection was excellent. Portions are very generous so consider sharing. We were shown a special black truffle menu but learned at the time of order that truffle was not available so had to make a quick pivot on our selections. Staff was friendly and professional but a bit stretched. Make your reservations well in advance and enjoy.
Located in the heart of Rome, this venue offers
Located in the heart of Rome, this venue offers well-crafted traditional Roman cuisine. The staff is kind, and the ambiance, though a bit cluttered, is cozy and enjoyable. It's definitely a bit pricey for what it offers, but it's worth a visit.
Burrata and pasta dishes were quite good, desserts
Burrata and pasta dishes were quite good, desserts fantastic. Service was also wonderful. A great way to start our stay. Ambience was cozy (sat in cellar). Hope to return someday!
Outstanding service and even better classic Italian wine
Outstanding service and even better classic Italian wine and food. A+ from me. Highest recommendation.
Pizza by weight.
And it's delicious. Like, seriously delicious. Incredible baked goods and other almost deli-like foods. Must grab a bite here.
One of the best lunches in Rome and perhaps Italy
This is one of the best meals in Italy. The meats, pastas, wine and serviceโฆ.amazing!! Canโt wait to eat at their NY location!!!
A "must-do" experience, an amazing temple of the good food
Lunch here is an amazing, unforgettable experience. Food of the highest quality, prepared magnificently, served by a waiter of the highest competence and professionalism, not to mention the splendid wines. The unique atmosphere of this "salumeria" makes it much more than just as restaurant. I suggest to stay in front of the cheese/hams display rather than going to the lower restaurant room. Very reasonable price for this level of experience. By the way, probably the best cacio e pepe pasta that I have ever had!
Awful service and mediocre food.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. You're definitely paying for the instagram hype. Rome has 100s of fantastic restaurants
It's been 6 months since our honeymoon in Rome and I'm
It's been 6 months since our honeymoon in Rome and I'm STILL dreaming of my dinner here. There's a reason reservations are booked months in advance. They are busy so the tables are close together and it's a tad warm inside, but it was August in a touristy town so I didn't expect much else. The food was the best I had in the city. So good, I was too busy eating to take pictures. We shared the oxtail ravioli and the cacio e pepe for our mains. OMG. If I could shrink myself down and swim in both dishes, I would. The only bad thing was this was our first dinner in Rome, so it really set the bar high. I might book a trip back just to eat here again.
A must when in Rome !
We had dinner during our stay in Rome and I must say it was well worth it! You can dine in their cellar,which is full of an excellent selection of wines. The food was also mouth watering. Every plate was a unique experience! Not to mention their divine desserts! Don't miss trying Cacio e pepe -the best we have had there- and of course don't skip buying high quality cheeses and other local products from their delicatessen. Service is very good too,but there is space for a little improvement.
Wonderful dinner
I had booked a table in the front deli of this restaurant/salute row but upon arrival realized we didnโt want to sit there. Thankfully the host was very accommodating and seated us in the wine cellar. I highly recommend either the main restaurant or the wine cellar to sit in. The buratta with truffle was life-changing. Beyond delicious. We shared cacio Pepe and carbonara which were both phenomenal. The wine we had was also fabulous. I highly recommend when in Rome!
Great experience
Roscioli was recommended to us by multiple people before our trip to Rome and it did not disappoint. It was our first meal in Rome and it really set the tone. The gricia and amatriciana pasta were amazing. Highly recommend the roman based pastas. Our server was also very helpful and patient with two people who did not speak Italian. We enjoyed it so much we also visited their cafe and bakery!
Great service, excellent food
Roscioli was by far the best restaurant experience in Roma we had. The visit started with a nice gesture when the whole personnel was welcoming visitors by the door. Starters were outstanding. I have to mention the focaccios with tomato that were so good that it is hard to find words. Everything was in balance the tecture was amazing. The same continued with the main courses. Everyone was ansolutely delighted with those. The dishes were made with pricision and love. No doubt about it. The chianti classico served by glass was nice quality and paired perfectly with the pasta dish I had. After the dinner I ended up buying 5 bottles of wine, DOP balsamico, a bottle of grappa and some olive oil. Those were great quality and the prices were reasonable. I will come back if I will visit Roma again some day.
Still Top Notch!
Roscioli is one of our โgo toโ places in Rome. Once again, we were delighted to come back for more great pasta...this time twiceโฆfor lunch one day, dinner anotherโฆall the classic Roman style pastas....terrific carbonara, thick spaghetti with acciuge (anchovy) sauce, cacio pepe, excellent bufala mozz and culetto, Roman artichokes, and a reasonable wine list. As good an โAmatriciana as we have ever hadโฆperfectly cooked guanciale lurking in the perfect sauce. This time, we reserved seating in the wine cellar for dinner, and in the โrestaurant roomโ past the counter for lunch; get a seat wherever you can.....canโt come to Rome without dining at Roscioli at least once...we make sure to get there twice! Itโs that excellent!
We just keep coming back
Excellent Roman fare and a varied menu. Great waiters too. Always on our Rome list, and you better book in advance online. And do not miss their other 2 places all in the same vicinity. This an institution and you cannot go wrong.
Almost always busy but the food is good! Great pastries and
Almost always busy but the food is good! Great pastries and pizza, fast moving staff, reasonably priced fares.
Highly recommended by friends and respected review sites .
.. while the service was friendly and the ambience unique (we sat at the bar) not a must when in Rome.
It's a classic.
Tony Bourdain introduced it to the world and it's been super popular since. The carbonara is a must try. Really enjoyed the experience. Be sure to make a reservation in advance. Walk ins are nearly impossible
A few days after dining at Roscioli, in Rome, we read that
A few days after dining at Roscioli, in Rome, we read that the restaurant recently opened an outpost in New York City. That made the prospect of leaving Italy less depressing. My husband and I will cheerfully take the train from Philly to experience once again this restaurant's best-we've-ever-had bread basket, its peppers and anchovies stuffed with capers, and its justifiably famous carbonara, which spoiled us for every other pasta dish on our trip. Our hotel was right across from Roscioli's bakery, where we sampled excellent pizzas, pastry, and the Platonic ideal of porchetta sandwiches. We stopped again in Rome at the end of our trip and hoped to get back there. Sadly, it was booked.
An amazing dining experience when in Rome!! Whether you try
An amazing dining experience when in Rome!! Whether you try this restaurant for lunch, as we did, or dinner, be sure to make a reservation as tables are limited. Atmosphere is great and it was fun for my 25-year old twins and I to sit at the bar for lunch and get treated to a birthday cocktail!! We had the best gnocchi we've ever eaten, homemade and coupled with the most delicious sauce!! Gave us the energy to continue our sightseeing and shopping for the afternoon. Highly, highly recommend, as your tastebuds will thank you!
I wish i could give this 6 stars! We did the wine and food
I wish i could give this 6 stars! We did the wine and food tasting and it was the perfect mix of facts and education about Italian wine and food as well as conversation with the others at the table and of course our amazing guide to all the courses. We sat in the wine cellar in the basement which felt like a secret chamber surrounded by hundreds of bottles of wine and a cool wooden chandelier. The portions were the perfect size, one or two bites each for the cheese and meats and a few bites of the pasta course and desserts. We felt full but not terribly full as you sometimes do after ones of these. Water and bread were unlimited and the experience was one of a kind.
Excellent dinner at Roscioli in Rome.
I had the pasta carbonara which was very good. I suggest sitting at the bar/counter. The service was excellent. The ambiance is a bit loud and crowded but not too bad.
I really wanted to like this place.
Made a reservation one month in advance. Full disappointment. That is easily the worst meal we had ever. The restaurant is very difficult to get reservations to. We had reservation, ordered carbonara and francescana pastas as well as basket of breads. First came breads. Stale. Like yesterday's or day before. Fine. We don't like stale bread so didn't eat them. Next pastas arrived.They look great. One bite. Wow. They are horrible. So salty you can't take a second bite. Both of them. We asked for the check and left. You would think that restaurant will not charge for two full plates returned because they are so salty? Think again. 40 eur charged and no dinner. Horrible!
What a fantastic meal & experience
I had read and heard so much about this placeโฆ well it is now one of favourite places to dineโฆ. Itโs an experience that you will not forget and I look forward to my next visit And to all thinking of going, REMEMBER TO BOOK IN ADVANCE
Great place
Iโm not going to read through other reviews to understand the negatives. Itโs not fancy. But itโs really good! Some unique, some classics. Fun. Servers were nice. Dont come without a reservation we noticed undoes attempts at procuring a table that failed and Iโm sure left everyone (including myself) exhausted.
A real pleasure
I've only eaten at Roscioli once before; in 2018 prior to Covid, so I was interested to see what it was like in 2023. I was so pleasantly surprised. I dined alone for lunch and so was seated at the bar (which I like). Simon, who provided service on the day (thank you Simon) was a delight. He was great company for a solo diner. The food (loved the complimentary amuse-bouche and Valrhona chocolate biscotti dolce) and the wine (the house white was outstanding) were wonderful. It's a great room, even from the bar. Roscioli is (perhaps sadly) now mainly frequented by tourists (like me) but it hasn't lost its wonderful ambience. Bravo Roscioli!
A Food Experience for those Passionate about Good Food.
The food experience was truly amazing. The restaurant provided an outstanding eating experience. This is for those who love good food. It was so fantastic, we went twice. The menu provides a good choice and the food itself is based on the finest ingredients. The experience was enhanced by people who are passionate about what they do. Daniela, who served us, was attentive, knowledgeable and very customer-centric without being intrusive. She wanted the experience to be a memorable one and it was . We were lucky to be seated in the wine cellar. Highly Recommended outstanding value for money.
Lovely dinner at Roscioli
Weโd been to Roscioli years ago, and remembered it fondly as our favorite dinner in Rome. When I booked a trip for this year, the first thing I did was make a dinner reservation here. After reading some reviews here, I was worried that the restaurant had gone downhill, but we had an absolutely lovely dinner, as I remembered it. Service was very kind and attentive. Food was very good. Wine seemed expensive compared to other restaurants weโve visited on this trip. Overall, a wonderful, memorable meal!

I have been to Rome 4 times and I've eaten here over a dozen times. Go get in line and just try the traditional!! Momma there goes that man.....

We visited from Chicago in August and this was one of the highly recommended spots to us. We did make a reservation far in advance, but happy we did because we did hear the restaurant turning people away or giving hour plus wait times for walk ups. We had a 2 seater table right by the door but the energy, food and service were incredible. Can't wait to go back!
2nd stop for the food tour.
We had suppli and various pizzas. Suppli was hot and the cheese had melted perfectly. The pizza squares were just the right temperature and ready to be devoured. The experience of being with the locals, being part of the hustle and bustle while enjoying the noshies and feeling the warmth of the sun on a cold and crips morning is a feeling I'll remember for a long time. Go, stand in line, get your pizza and immerse yourself in the culture !!!

We were able to snag in a reservation two weeks prior to coming here. It was a short walk from the Trevi Fountain to Roscioli. We checked in with the host and were seated at the bar area. The bar tender was nice. For drinks, we ordered their draft beet and a signature drink called Aridaje which translates "here we go again." The drinks were ok, not the best we've had. For food, we ordered carbonara and some tortellini soup. I would definitely recommend the carbonara. As for the soup, they should just take it off the menu. Overall, I would definitely comeback just for the carbonara.
Fantastic dinner in Rome.
Made a reservation to sit in the wine cellar. Little cramped but cozy space and ambiance was nice. Food was fantastic. Service was friendly and attentive. Glad we came.
We came here to have some coffee and a nice snack before
We came here to have some coffee and a nice snack before our long rainy day walk. The place isn't too big and we felt really squeezed in our table. Even though the place was packed, the service was still pleasant.Love loved the palmier cookie and wish I had eaten more
One of the best restaurants I went to in Rome.
It's a deli wine shop which adds to the charm. Best carpaccio I ve ever had. Amatriciana pasta also amazing. Wonderful staff and wine and spirit options. Everything is good in Rome, this place was exceptional and relaxed.
Extremely salty food.
Not recommended. We came here on our honeymoon as a last stop before leaving the city. It was highly recommended by our friends and by online reviews. The location and ambiance is good, and nice for dates. But the food is extremely salty. We ordered the carbonara and the amatriciana and both of them were so salty. It's almost like they just poured salt over the whole thing before they served it. The saltiness overpowered all the other flavors. We've had much better pasta here in Rome and this place was not it. I would not come here again. Service was ok, but the food just was disgusting.
This place was recommended to me time and time again.
We walked here twice thinking we would get in without a reservation, but no such luck. As it turns out, it is very easy to book a reservation online. The calendar kept showing as fully booked -- so I just kept checking periodically. Finally, one slot opened up and we were able to snag a table here. The ambience is wonderful. It feels more like a deli as people are in and out. They offer seating near the deli, in the back, and by the bar. We started off with the pecorino pasta dish. It was so flavorful and delicious. For our main, we ordered the cauliflower and crusted Branzino. They were both so flavorful and the fish cooked to perfection. For dessert, we topped it off with the cannoli which is a must. All in all, this is a perfect spot to dine if you are able to get in.
Came here for pizza as part of a food tour.
Pizza has a crispy crust. I especially love the Rosso (just tomatoes) pizza.
