Alle Fratte di Trastevere

Good restaurant. We had lunch here. We had pasta with clams and pizza. Pasta was very good with nice sauce of vine, garlic, olive oil and some parsley. Pizza was also good with a lot of cheese on it.
The restaurant was full, so I think it’s a good sign for the place.

Awesome place! The owners are from Italy and New Jersey. After 2 ½ weeks abroad it was so nice to speak English. The place got really crowded around 7. Of my 3 kids 2 are picky eaters and they actually ate here. Prices were really reasonable and some of the best Italian food we have had so far. Pepperoni pizza was great. Happy kiddos! For family of 5 with wine and beer we spent 55 Euro.

We were told of this place by the people we rented from and overall it was a very nice establishment. The manager (owner?) was a large bald headed man who was very friendly and inviting. We went on New Years Day but didn’t have a booming, but he must have taken pity on us (or knew he could sneak in a three top between sittings) so after a short wait we were in.
The service was very good and in typical Italian waiter action we were uphold on the antipasti and the wine… Well, not so much on the wine itself, just the quantity. In any case I can’t blame the waiter, as I was a party to it; just one of those lessons one learns. In any case, I posted some pictures of our food. The antipasti was like € 22 (I know, crazy) but it was huge and very good!
My one daughter had pizza and it was ok-​she has had better and worse, so nothing special to say about it. My other daughter had some sort of cheese and prosciutto dish. She thought it tasted like a Hardee’s hot ham and cheese sandwich, and I can’t argue with her. She and I both had pasta dishes-​again, ok… Pretty bland. My veal scallopini was a bit of a letdown as well. The meat was cut into medallions but not breaded at all and the acid in the sauce was a bit overpowering.
Funny, but as I wrote this review, it went from 3 to 2 stars, and that is a bit of a gift. For the price, better food can be found even to the immediate left of this restaurant, so poke around a bit before you settle here.

Vor dem Lokal die Speisekarte betrachtend wurden wir von einem älteren Herren angesprochen, der vorgab der Mann der Köchin zu sein UND warb mit einem Reiseführer in der Hand um dieses Lokal, das als Insidertipp dort erwähnt wird.
Wir hatten vorher schon entschieden hinein zu gehen, seine Bemühungen waren dazu sehr sympathisch und nicht so aufdringlich, wie man das sonst kennt.
Wir aßen zur Mittagszeit dort und wir hatten schon erfahren, dass Pasta nicht die Portionsgrößen mittags hat, von der man gut satt wird.
Ich bestellte mir als Vorspeise einen gemischten Salat, als Hauptspeise Penne Arrabiata. Mein Mann wählte Antipasti vorweg und eine Pizza Funghi Salami. Alles schmeckte wirklich vorzüglich!!!
Mit 31 € inkl Getränke absolut vertretbar!
Als wir gingen, empfahl uns der ältere Herr noch einen bestimmten Aussichtspunkt, den wir anschließend aufsuchten. Das war toll und ohne seinen Tipp hätten wir uns dort sicher nicht hinverirrt.

Nice little surprise and a perfect start to end the last day of our trip in Rome. Walked in cause the old Italian man (owner) was telling us his wife is the cook and they make arguably the best pasta in Rome. We had to try it since he was so convincing and nice. We ordered the seafood spaghetti with clams, shrimp and mussels to share since we were planning on a final day food excursion. I can say it’s the best tomatoes based spaghetti we’ve had in Rome thus far. Several other highly rated and recommended places we’ve been to all week fell short of my expectation. This one is definitely a hit. My wife and I both agree. We got lucky

OK. J’ai mangé ici des lasagnes PRESQUE parfaites (et je né suis pas une grande fan de lasagnes). J’aurais vraiment aimé mettre 5 étoiles, parce que j’aurais tellement aimé qu’elles soient parfaites. On était si proche du but. Mais voilà, elles étaient trop salées. Vraiment trop. Je né suis pourtant jamais la dernière à demander la salière (je suis même souvent la première, en fait, je sais c’est pas bien, mais c’est bon, le sel), mais là c’était trop. Ca n’a pas pour autant complètement gâché mon plaisir, j’ai bu de l’eau, beaucoup d’eau, mais j’avoue qu’à la fin, ça devenait compliqué.
C’est d’autant plus dommage que, bien que ce resto né paye franchement pas de mine, leur cuisine semble très bonne: si mes lasagnes étaient trop salées, elles étaient sinon parfaites, et les plats de mes copines étaient bons également. En plus, le serveur était très sympa.
Je recommande quand même, et si je pouvais y retourner, je le ferais sans hésiter !

My wife and I had dinner there last night. The place was packed. We did not have reservations but the owner greeted us and found us a table. The food was very good as well as the service. We would recommend this as a great place to dine.

Food was awesome and location is cool, away from the crowd and busy roads.
One thing I didn’t understand the owner (assuming) made me to was he made me wash my hands before any waiter even talked to me, as soon as I sat down. Meanwhile there was an Italian family of 10, including kids, who got there seemingly only several minutes before I did, and they didn’t seem to have to wash their hands or to be coming back from washing their hands. I don’t know if it was because I was alone, or because I was a traveler, or because of my gender or race or what. The waiters and waitresses were also distant. So the service was probably the worst aspect of all, tho food was very good.

Veal and prociutto… with that creamy sauce
…Very delicious. Another plate of clams and mussels… also yummy. A 0,50 litro vino rosso for 5,50 €?! Perché no? Non coperto, no cover charge, even better. A satisfying dinner and great service.

We stumbled upon this place and wow, were we surprised! The food is well balanced, and the ingredients are first class. To top it all off, it’s amongst the best value found in Rome. This place is a must for great food, and good ambiance.

Gutes und preiswertes Essen in einer professionellen und ausgesprochen familiären Atmosphäre. Sehr üppige Portionen.

OMG lunch here was heavenly. Both pasta dishes we ordered were perfect. Perfectly al dente, perfectly seasoned, perfectly balanced. Prices were also just right. With generous portions of house rosé for two, our primi pastas, some caffeine to finish off the meal, our total was no more than € 30 ;) Love this place. Will miss it for sure.

The food was mediocre. Went to many different resurrects and tried this one towards the end of our trip. During the other 8 days, other restaurants tasted better with better quality food. I found this place by searched for popular restaurants in the area and this one came up; however it is not that special.
Other then the food, the service was bad. Our waiter did not seem to care for our needs. For example, I was brought gelato with no spoon. I asked be waiter for the spoon and he made a concerned face but then walked away and never brought it because he made it seem like he had other priorities. So when the service is bad and the food is mediocre, it did not leave a good feel.

We had a great meal in the small outdoor area of the restaurant. The service was friendly and helpful — definitely above average in Italy. Food was good and bread was great. Vegetable soup was clearly homemade and the mixed cold cuts and cheese antipasto was delicious. The indoor part of the restaurant, including the bathrooms were extremely clean and neat. Definitely a good place to go!

We had lunch here after our visit to the Vatican. The Penne allo Zar (salmon) I ordered was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the seafood linguine, which she enjoyed the protein but thought the pasta could’ve used more flavour and sauce. The Caprese appetizer was fresh and delicious. Very reasonable prices, nice ambiance, good service and a very welcoming owner!

Our hotel recommended this place and we were very happy they did! This was one of the few times we felt like we were eating in a true Italian restaurant. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming! The pasta and pizza were among the best we’ve had in Rome and the house wine was delicious! They even brought out a little dessert before we closed which was an great cap to an excellent meal.

This restaurant is how I remember living in Rome 1987 – 1993. The waiters are professionals and obviously honor their craft. Prices are excellent by current standards and portions are spot on. In ten days in Rome we ate here three times and it’s simply excellent.
The cozze e vongole (mussels and clams) are spot on. All the bruschettas are great and I had the best prosciutto e melone of my life here! They used the ripest, sweetest honeydew I’ve ever tasted and it was out of sight! The pastas are excellent… Amatriciana is a local favorite but the spaghetti alle vongole (clams) is really classic and the cacio e pepe (like a light cheese and black pepper sauce… A roman fave) is perfect. Cooked well, etc etc. The guys are awesome and they treated us like royalty.
They speak enough languages to get by but they’ll love you if you try to speak Italian, too!

Von außen auf den ersten Blick nicht sehr einladend, aber der Schein trügt. Eine typische Trattoria mit hervorragendem Essen. Es lohnt sich in jedem Fall ein paar Meter abseits der Touristenpunkte ein solches Restaurant aufzusuchen.

Wunderbares Essen. Wunderbarer Service. Wunderbare Erfüllung aller Travestere Klischees (im positiven Sinn)!

Had lunch here. Good food and location. Very attentive staff. Recommended

I spent one week in Rome and I tried various recommended restaurants. My wife agrees this was the best. It was consistent, in that all appetizers and entrees were great. It is tourist-​friendly (not in a bad way — but you can communicate with the waiters in English), it has a good atmosphere, good service, so we’ll definitely go again next time in the city.

A tad on the touristy side in Trastevere which was a bit of a surprise to me (the touristy-​ness). About 75% of the people here were foreigners. The food is scrumptious and the service was excellent though. Recommended.

This is a very good restaurant in Trastevere. It’s always crowded with both locals and tourists. If you know the folks who own this place, then our seasoned reviewer below may understand why they have a dot com domain. The wife is American, from Long Island, NY. She even lured her brother to come to Italy to work the business with her husband. The husband is Roman. Therefore, they seek to promote the place on an international basis. The food does not suffer in the least. Everything is good here and the service is excellent. The place has developed a very good reputation in Trastevere.
One thing people need to understand is that there are tourists in Roma pretty much the year round. Roma survives on tourism and with the state of the crisis in Italy, we need more tourists than ever before. There are many places that locals prefer, but invariably, tourists discover these places. As long as they are well behaved and not obnoxious, then we Italians are just fine with them.

One of my better meals in Rome thus far — the food was tasty and the staff were attentive, to the point of one waiter making sure I got my order sorted out without too much of a wait because his colleague managing my area was busy.
The food wasn’t stuff you’d write home about, but it was well prepared and I wouldn’t be upset if I ended up back there again before my stay is done.

This was our third trip to Italy. My husband and I always stop in Rome if we can. We had an apartment in the city for a week. I consider us to be very seasoned travelers (we did China for 3 months without guides, lived in London for 3 years, did work in Duba, etc. Thus, we have experienced many business and personal restaurants… and rarely do a Unilocal review –to this point)
Anyway, we stumbled onto this little restaurant knowing NOTHING of any ratings – looking for a safe haven from bad weather.
The ambience was lovely, the staff was attentive, helpful and authentic — - the big deal here was the FOOD. We had the Grilled Calamari, bruchetta, pasta and it was all fantastic! It was so good, we decided to return and we had the margherita pizza Note, my husband is from NY and prides himself as a serious NY pizza critic and found this pizza to be excellent) Oh, did I mention the Dolce di Giorno? I had to have this every time I went– It was homemade lemoncello tiramisu– Absolutely to die for!
Given our numerous visits here, we met the staff/​owners, Felix, Riccardo and Francesco, sp?) as well others and it made the experiences all more personal.
Too bad this restaurant is not on the other side of the pond (US) we would go there every night!
