Is it a family restaurant?
Piazza Roma Ristorante is a family-run restaurant that caters to everyone, from kids to adults. If your family likes authentic Italian cooking, this is one of the best places to dine.
Is there a scenic view from the restaurant?
Pizza Roma Ristorante's outdoor dining will give you a view of the trees that line the town street. It is one block away from the main tourist scene, so you get a quiet, perfect spot, especially when the roads are not that busy.
What food items do you recommend ordering there?
The restaurant's homemade pasta is one for the books. Their plates of pasta are cooked to perfection and are prepared using fresh ingredients. Their roasted bell octopus and avocado tartar.
Try out their scialatielli made with fresh tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella for the first course. Choose among the mixed fried calamari and prawns, their day's fish served with peas cream, or the roasted lamb prepared with herbs, anchovies, burnt onion sauce, and crushed potatoes on the side for the main course. If you are straying away from meat products, try their vegetarian options, such as the grilled aubergine served with beetroot mayo, herbs, and shoots, for your main dish.
But don't just fill up your stomach just yet cause their desserts are also to die for. Order their classic tiramisu or their pear cooked in chocolate and topped with hazelnuts and red fruits. They also serve gluten-free dishes, so inform them about this choice.
How is the customer service of the staff?
The dining experience is made more awesome with the impeccable service from their staff. The owner Johnny and his son, the restaurant's chef, are very attentive to both their food and guests. They are eager to give a hand to those who are not sure what to order or to help you select the perfect wine to pair with your meal.
Overall, the hospitality is superb.
Do you recommend booking a reservation?
Because this place is considered one of the best restaurants and almost always buzzing with people, I recommend you book a table in advance. Booking early, especially when you are only coming for a short visit or planning to celebrate a special occasion, will save you from the hassle of lining up.
Is this restaurant worth visiting?

Whether you are going for a fine dining experience or wants a quiet lunch or celebratory dinner, Piazza Roma Italy is definitely a go-to. It's a perfect place to bring your friends, family, and especially your partner when visiting Rome.
