Food was pretty good. Too bad the service was horrible. Service was probably the worst we’ve had during our three week trip to Italy. Will never return and cannot recommend to others.

A great Italian eatery with a very good touch and a twist: we had a great time there — the service, the food, and overall. The waiter(Hugo) was very knowledgeable and friendly in describing and helping us pick the dishes. We ordered ricotta and spinach ravioli in tomato sauce which was fresh and«sweet» — amazingly fresh ricotta cheese and well prepared pasta. Also we had fried octopus which was very tender and came with olive tapenade, parsley paste with olive oil and a touch of licorice powder which gave the dish a very interesting twist. We finished of with a creamy tiramisu to cup a lovely meal. Highly recommended!

Trip Advisory isn’t always right, but man did they nail this one. Great décor, great amtmosphere, awesome wait staff, Ditirambo had it all. The veggie appteizer plate was delicous and my pasta with wild boar rago, to die for. I, as many others have in the past, would highly reccomend this place. When or if I got back to Rome, I know where I am stopping!

Very nice trattoria, tourist-friendly without being touristy. Our waiter was friendly, the service was excellent(not too fast, but we didn’t wait too long, either) and the food was very good. Again, it was not standard tourist fare; we several good choices. I mostly eat vegetarian, and the ravioli with spinach were delicious.

Delicious delicious! We read about this place in the Guardian, so lucky that we did. We didn’t have a booking, but waited no more than 10 – 15 minutes for an outdoor table. Because I don’t write anything down, I can’t remember what we had except the appetizer Trittico Ditirambico ((zucchini flower with ricotta cheese, beef tartare with black truffle and Casteimagno cheese, smoked duck breast with melon and toasted almonds). My partner adored the beef tartare(which was fab, no doubt) but the smoked duck breast totally sent me over the edge. Something about the mix of flavors with the melon was so divine. Definitely a can’t-miss appetizer. The fettucine with wild boar ragu was also fabulous, but uselessly I can’t remember what else we had. All I recall is we were raving about it all night. Definitely among the very top we had in Rome. Not a bad bite. Would recommend it to anybody! It’s affordable, not overwhelmingly touristy, and the food is really special.

I just got back from a trip to Roma! For 11 days I ate at everyplace possible trying to avoid places with«hosts» in front. For the most part all of our places were wonderful but for our last night I wondered the area in which we were staying and I came across this place! Oh how I love this place! Little hole in the wall restaurant packed with locals… I knew we had to eat there! The host inside was friendly and tried to accommodate us as fast as he could given the fact that we were a party of 6. Our waiter was a petite man who at first I thought was going to be rude but he was actually very nice with good suggestions. The food was outstanding, the desserts were awesome and the environment was comforting! We will definitely stop by here again when in Roma!

Perfect for us. Not very fancy but welcoming, engaging service and some of the best food we’d eaten in Rome. Very fresh and kind of nouveau Italian. The rabbit was really good. Not cheap but worth what we paid.

Une adresse de charme et de qualité proche des lieux touristiques. C’est un avantage de trouver un bon établissement dans ce coin. Les plats proposés sont excellents, le service exemplaire. Je n’hésite pas une seul seconde, il vaut 5 étoiles + ! Les serveurs vont conseillent sur le choix du vin, c’est digne d’un grand restaurant. Les plats proposés sont tous très raffinés.

Le coup de coeur ultime de notre voyage à Rome ! Après une matinée exhaustive remplie de visites, je trouve ce restaurant sur l’application Unilocal — qui est très bien noté. Le restaurant est bondé, même un dimanche à 14h. On parvient tout de même à trouver une table rapidement. La carte est exhaustive, remplie de plats originaux. Nous nous partageons en entrée un roulé d’aubergines gratiné, un délice ! En plat, je prends des pâtes au sanglier et au vin blanc, une vraie tuerie. Enfin, en dessert, nous nous partageons un sabayon en mille-feuilles, un des meilleurs dessers de ma vie ! Courrez y vite !

We called in to make a reservation for lunch. & mentioned that we were looking for a very good chianti with the meal. So when we arrived for lunch the waiter was ready to go through their 500 odd selection of wine with us. He explained the difference between a Classico & Rufina riserva. Amazingly their choice of Rufina went back to 1968. I choose a 1978 Salvapiana & the waiter advised what dishes would best go with that. The Salavapiana would be one if the best wines that I’ve had, and very reasonably priced at 90 euro. There was such great complexity, a big nose and after taste that lingered very nicely. So the antipasti was a vegetarian tasting dish including porcini, truffle, eggplant & pomegranate. For the main I choose wild boar and Kate had suckling pig. Exquisite. The host shouted us a Marsala dessert wine to finnish up one of the best meals we’ve had in Europe.

Overall, a good experience! Both my partner and I had the lasagna for lunch. It’s definitely not a traditional approach to lasagna and if you’re not a fan of mushrooms then avoid it; otherwise definitively do it. Service was good, though there was only one waiter tending to the whole restaurant, he was also serving food with the assistance of one other gentlemen. Definitely a fight for his attention. Tiramisu was quite good. I have it everywhere and this was certainly on par with my standards.

Nice restaurant well placed right in a centrum close to Campo de Fiori. It is a place which wont dissapoint but also wont impress. Four stars are about the right. Service is very good and so are meals. They haven´t pizza though. Yes, I love pizza so… :-) They have a pretty good wine list. I strongly recommend Versante Negroamaro. Amazing wine. Anyway, visiting this place is worth it, but as I said, it´s more like better average.

The meal here It wasnt the best one we had in Rome, but its definitely worth checking out if you are in Rome for 3 or more days. We had the pasta with shrimp to start, the shrimp was over cooked and not very tasty. But the main course I had was pretty good, it was a roast pork dish. My wifes entrée was just ok(i cant remember what it was, might have been a fish), but the dessert we has was amazing. I think the dessert was a special, it came with 3 different things which were all good(ice cream, some sort of chocolate cake, and something else). Overall, its a nice place in a good location.

Top notch Italian food. The freshest of ingredients. We had the several mozzarella apps, wild boar ragout, the rabbit ragout, and I also had the veal. All amazing. The service was impeccable. We also had wine — good selection. The check was very reasonable too @ € 36 per person.

All good for lunch only slightly away from the touristy piazza fiori. When we arrived the entire restaurant emptied, very strange. Turns out they rented it out for a private event. They were not ready so we came back 20 minutes later. The place packed up again and everyone wanted food at the same time. The wait was not bad for food about 15 – 20 minutes. Food quality and prices were good, service a bit hurried but expected. The bonus is they were able to secure us a cab to our hotel during a torrential thunderstorm. Best place in its area for Sunday lunch and it appears a few people are aware of that.

Une belle découverte dans un quartier ou il est facile de tomber sur une pizzeria de mauvais goût! Une carte originale, des produits de qualité, un accueil très sympa avec quelqu’un qui prend le temps de vous expliquer la carte. A tester sans hesitation!

Phenomenal service, great location, unbelievable wine selection. This was our most memorable meal in Italy… perfect night, lots of wine and laughs, great food, etc. The food, while really VERY good(especially considering the near-touristy location) wasn’t 5-star worthy, and the atmosphere inside was a bit lacking, but this is a solid 4 star stop. Sit outside, take a gamble on the wine, and enjoy a great meal in Rome.

Carte très inventive qui permet de goûter à la vraie gastronomie italienne, pour changer un peu des pâtes et des pizzas(mêmes si on né se lasse jamais de ces dernières). Il y en a pour tous les goûts: pâtes, viandes rouges, viandes blanches, salades, fruits de mers, fromages

Loved this place! The food was very good and they were knowledgeable about the wine paring to go with dinner. We had someone make reservations for us, someone that was Italian… when we arrived they realized we were English speaking and had to re-seat us in the servers section that spoke the most English. That was fine with us since our Italian was basically non existent. We ordered the suckling pig with the salt crust and were not disappointed. the dessert we had was also amazing although I cant remember what it was called, I’m sure they are all good. The atmosphere was very nice and romantic(your in Italy everything is) and the had nice exposed brick arch in the center of the second room which was very cute. I would definitely come back here again.

This cozy trattoria off the Campo D Fiori plaza serves great food for both locals and tourists. Had dinner here on a Saturday night and ordered the zucchini fritters for the antipasti(fried expertly), tagiatelle pasta with game hen and porcini mushrooms, and the suckling pig roasted in a salt crust. All the entrees were really great, especially the pasta. We ordered a recommended wine off the menu that complemented the food really well. Also, many of the menu items were homemade pastas and more exotic meats. After traveling through Italy for a couple of weeks, I appreciated not only the artisan menu but the quality of food at Ditirambo. Rome can be a tourist trap but you don’t have to eat in one. You will not be disappointed! TIP: It is not directly on the Piazza Della Cancelleria but around the corner on one of the little side streets between the 60 – 80 block of Cancelleria.

Excellent restaurant romain explorant simplement et de façon inventive les canons de la gastronomie italienne: le produit, les pâtes et le limoncello della casa. Carte renouvelée souvent et à deux enjambées du Campo dei Fiori pour une balade digestive
