This is a reservation only restaurant in the wine cellar of a phenomenally stocked deli near Plaza Navona. The dining area is cozy but comfortable and offers many of the cured meats that one walks by on the wat to the restaurant. We started out with a bread bowl which had a delicious selection of breads and was accompanied by fine salami, soft cheese and pesto. We then has the tasty fried oxtail stew stuffed flowers and pastas (Greek, similar to Cacio e Pepe and Amatriciana). The meal was rounded out with delectable desserts - tiramisu and luxardo cherry ice cream with herbal tea and espresso. Would definitely eat there again!
Wow what an amazing dinning experience ⭐️
Market style restaurant
I went solo and was sat at the bar seating. It was a lively experience watching the servers bustle around and the chefs slice meat and prepare dishes!
The Cacio e Pepe did not disappoint and the mozzarella was by far the best I have had in Rome
Absolutely incredible
When planning my trip to Rome, ChatGPT told me I absolutely must find a reservation at this restaurant. I was a little doubtful that it was so critical I eat here but AI insisted and it was right.
First off, the food here is divine. The best meal I’ve had in Rome - hands down. I don’t have any pictures of any food other than dessert because we devoured everything they set in front of us. But make sure you come here hungry; the appetizers are incredible. Even the desert you’ll see in the picture was plated divinely.
Second - the service is incredible. Our waitress was so kind and patient with us. She really made the experience very lovely.
Third - the ambiance of this restaurant is unmatched; I loved sitting next to the counter and watching all the plates of delicious food put together.
I will most certainly be back and you should make a reservation too
Roscioli is simply the best! I’ve visited three times in Rome: 2005, 2017 and 2026 and each time the quality and taste have been impeccable. Their pasta is amazing, particularly the cacio e pepe, and their tiramisu is always a memorable treat.
The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are incredibly friendly and happy to answer any menu questions.
Until next time…
This restaurant is absolutely fabulous. A beautiful blend of fine épicerie and intimate dining. You’re seated among shelves of carefully curated local products, and the experience feels both authentic and refined.
The menu draws directly from their épicerie, featuring exceptional local cheeses, cold cuts, and meats, all presented with a refined touch. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted while staying true to the region.
The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can truly feel that this is a family-owned establishment, run with care and pride. Everything is smooth, warm, and well executed.
A true gem. Be sure to book ahead! It’s not easy to get a table, and once you visit, you’ll understand exactly why.
