Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are only interested in having a well cooked meal and don’t care about anything, go there ! The waitresses are extremely rude and don’t do anything to make you feel comfortable. They want you to eat and leave as quickly as possible. The...place is very small and uncomfortable but if we had a good service , certainly , it wouldn’t be a problem!More

I have been coming here for 20+ years and our most recent visit did not disappoint. The artichokes were absolutely delicious and both pastas we had (cacio e pepe and pomodoro) were perfect. We sat outside and while I missed the interior decor, I was...happy to be outside due to the heat.More

Once upon a time this place was authentic and delicious. When I was last here in June, the meat was served raw, the carciofo alla giudia tasted like it was fried in old oil, and the zucchini alla scapece were dripping in oil. The ambience...was dirty, hot, and uncomfortable...it no longer feels authentic, but rather it feels neglected and purely for turistic consumption. I will not be returning.More

We loved this restaurant. The menu is hand-written in Italian and they spoke very little English. The fettuccini with cacio e pepe and tiramisu were incredible. They only take reservations over the phone, but were willing to find us a table when we walked by...~30 minutes before they opened for dinner. There was quite the line when we left. Overall, this was a charming and lovely experience that was very reasonably priced.More

Absolutely the worst restaurant I have had been to in Rome and trust me I have traveled a lot and know good restaurants when I find them and this is not one of them. 1st the waitress with the black manky jacket treated us like...we were doing her a favour being there er excuse me if you don’t like people don’t work in hospitality! 2nd we ordered white wine and I asked for some ice to go with the wine after 3 attempts I went to the kitchen to get some and 3rd I ordered some vegetarian pasta which turned up cold and had meat in it in it!!! Such a shame on all counts as was so looking forward to going to this restaurant but the experience I received was extremely poorMore

Both of us had Carciofo alla Giudia and Fettuccine Casio e Pepe e Ricotta. Both dishes were delicious! I hope to return here every time I visit Rome.

Simply the best pasta in Rome. Genuine Roman trattoria with a feeling of home. Try the Jewish Artichoke. Amazing.

Eating the worse. Not understandable since they add pepper in any Italian typical dish. Even though claimed to be traditional since 1927, means nothing if you hire a bad chef. And I' sorry to say that since I'm Italian and I know how dishes are...made. Avoid.More

Prices seem too high for the food received. I saw the wine in the fridge - it seems the cheapest available on the market. The artichoke was tasty but too oily and overfried. The chicken was OK but small pieces. For the same money in...another restaurant you get a normal portion of meat. I am not super impressed by the pasta, either. Tiramisu was good. The table was shaky, and the chair was super uncomfortable. As we were sitting outside, I got bitten by mosquitoes. Cars were regularly passing by close to me. A man who was trying to sell roses to the tourists and begging for money, in fact had some kind of agreement with the restaurant (I seems he knew the waiters).More

This is my favorite restaurant in Rome. Doesn’t get more authentic than this. They only take reservations over the phone in Italian so make sure you have your concierge book it the first night you’re in town. Menu is handwritten in Italian too. It’s very...charming. Our waitress spoke enough English for us to order. She gave us some amaro for free at the end too. All the food was delicious and tasted like it was homemade. The tiramisu was to die for. I actually ate here almost ten years ago and had to come back when k went back to rome a few weeks ago and it’s still as good as I remember!More

After a two year hiatus caused by Covid travel restrictions Rome’s restaurants are once again bustling. Locals, who had Rome’s attractions, bars and restaurants all to themselves for a while now have to fight for a seat with the tourist hoards. Business is booming but...inevitably this sudden change has brought stress and strains that don’t go unnoticed by the tourists and often lead to unhappy dining experiences. With our go to eatery in Rome’s Jewish Quarter closed yesterday I was forced to look for an alternative for lunch with friends visiting from Canada and frankly some of the TripAdvisor reviews I read about some of my past favourite restaurants written by recent visitors frankly scared me. In the end we decided to try our luck at Sora Margherita, a very traditional Roman trattoria at which I great lunch six years ago (You can check out my review from May 2016 below). Sora Margherita was the perfect choice. They have a menu that changes every day of the week with tried and true Roman favourites. Their carciofi alla giudea was excellent and so was the Fettucine Cacio e Pepe was some of the best pasta I have had in Rome ever. Like most trattorie, the menu choices and the bar list is kept to a minimum. If you are looking for an Aperol Spritz or fancy cocktails look elsewhere. But if an ice cold bottle of Pecorino wine or a frosty bottle of Peroni or Nastro Azzurro beer will do the trick, give this place a try. They have been at this business since 1927 and their pride in the food prepared in their kitchen shows. My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful Roman lunch made all the more enjoyable by our very personable waitress. I am not going to wait another six years before my next visit.More

Food consistently good for the last 20+ years. Female staff very nice but recently an old man (I assume the owner) has been there and makes eating there unpleasant. So unpleasant it is now off our eating places. Many other great places to eat and...friendly staff to choose from.More

We were recommended this restaurant by the staff at our hotel as we wanted a traditional family restaurant. It was mid afternoon and we managed to get the last table outside and sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere. The pasta was exceptional as was the...sauces and the best was the house wine.

Simple restaurant with a good selection of Roman fares. Everything I had there was well made and flavorful. Staff was courteous. It offers dining outside when the weather is good. Recommended for folks who want to have a good meal at a decent price.
