Dal Toscano

Favorite restaurant in Rome.
Five stars on everything except price, it is a very good value.
If you are near the Vatican don’t miss it,
If you are not near the Vatican, find a ride it’s worth the trip.
Locals eat here not tourists.
5 star plus
Veal piccata — you will be sad when there’s only one bite left.
Pappardelle Ragu — best I’ve ever had.

Worth the visit to get away from the tourist place. Fair price and good food
The veal salting a and the pasta were quite good

Had dinner there last night they lost 20 euros by not putting in our appetizer order so we cancelled. Service was rude and curt. We had a group of 7 so we had a good sized party. Had to get up and grab our own olive oil for bread cause the waiter was curt unfriendly and disappeared. Food was excellent that we did get. Restaurant is in a fabulous location which contributes to the success. The service was on the point of being rude and dismissive

We’ve learned that, if you’re going to do a big Roman meal, do it for lunch instead of dinner. We hit this place, which was recommended by an Italian friend, and were not disappointed by the food or portions. We started with the beans in olive oil and a selection of salume. We could have stopped there — they were both filling — but didn’t of course. For mains, we had the pappardelle alla toscana (very flavorful boar sauce) and the filet steak with balsamic vinegar. Both highly recommended. The place has been in operation since the 30s, so they know what they’re doing. Based on its location, it’s a great stop after seeing the Vatican Museum.

Muito gostoso restaurante a poucas quadras do Vaticano. Estava voltando do Vaticano a caminho do metrô e decidi comer aqui e fugir um pouco do turístico pitoresco e não me arrependi!
De entrada pedi somente pão € 2,00 cujo gosto é muito parecido com nossos pães italianos em São Paulo e de prato principal fui de papardelli alla toscana, que êh uma massa larga com um molho bolonhesa, mas temperado a moda toscana que foi um pouco mais seco e apimentado, uma delicia! A pasta não estava tão al dente como outras que comi em Roma, mas estava muito saborosa!
Não deixe de pedir o vinho da casa, uma jarra de 0,5 L pelo preço de um refri (€ 6,00)! Muito bom! Nada de vinho sofistocado, mas ótimo pra acompanhar um prato num custo benefício adequado!
Acabei não pedindo sobremesa porque a porção era bem justa! O serviço foi bom, mas menos atencioso do que os restaurantes pitorescos, mais italiano acho! Nas mesas se escutava só italiano e isso em pleno verão (não presença de turistas) mostra que vc pode ter uma noite como os locais têm! Não vai se arrepender, mesmo com o serviço menos atencioso!

We stumbled across this restaurant totally by accident and asked for a table, which despite a packed restaurant they found for us. We were so happy they did. Still one of the best meals we have ever had. Traditional Italian cooking of the highest quality, with generous portions. Absolute bliss.
The restaurant itself is traditional in décor and frequented by wealthy local clientèle. Despite this, prices remain more than reasonable and there is no sense of snobbishness — all are welcome.
After the first night eating there, it was so good that we returned the night after and had exactly the same. This was in 2011 and we still talk about the meals we had there to this very day.
If you are on holiday in Rome and want authentic Italian food — go here!

on a prit 2 entrers, pâté maison qui est ultra moyenne et le pâté avec haricot blanc qui est pas mauvais mais pas plus.
leur spécialité est la viande. j’ai prit un carpaccio du beuf!!! mon dieu c’est trop trop trop trop bon. je né dirais pas c’est du beuf. a fortement conseiller.

My husband’s favorite place to eat. Vatican area. Ok parking. Touristy. Good wine selection. The fagolini & gelato for dessert, amazing. Nice staff. Authentic.

My family was in Rome earlier this summer and had an unforgettable meal at Dal Toscano. Not only was the restaurant beautiful, staff very friendly & efficient but the food was some of the best that we experienced during our extended stay in Europe. Later that night my father realized after a full day of touring Rome that he had lost an envelope with 3,000 euros in it. We were not certain where he lost it or what had happened to it. We thought it may have fallen out of his pocket or he had possibly been pick pocketed. Two days later we called the restaurant to see if anyone had found an envelope with 3,000 euros. To our shock & amazement «Massimo» the owner said they found the envelope and money. They wired us the money. We were so grateful for their honesty & integrity. I would highly, highly recommend dining at Dal Toscano. Thank You Massimo and staff. Joe Perri
