Antico Falcone — Restaurant in Rome

Old style traditional Italian eatery filled (literally not an empty seat on a Sunday night) with locals and regulars - We were the ONLY non-Italians in the place which says a lot given the choices in the area. The food and service were outstanding and this to me was the closest to "do as the romans do" on our trip. Antico is booked solid almost every day so you'd better plan ahead but it is worth the trip. A little history of the family on the menu tells you everything you need to know - Owned by the Strozzi family since 1400, and the building declared a national monument in 1935.

Among other things, we tried the Carbonara (the sauce was rich and velvety), the saltimbocca (done to perfection), fried zucchini flowers (delicious) and the roasted lamb!.

It appears that he discriminated against us because we are Asian. It was a very unpleasant experience to...

Very good food. I had the suppli and palline al verde. They gave me a table even though I did not have any reservations. Aisha who attended my table is very helpful, attentive and friendly. And she speaks English. 😊 Ask her for recommendations. The manager is very pleasant and friendly as well. Sadly was not able to try the Artichoke as it is out of season already. Recommend their food. The place is very cozy. A lot of locals come here to eat. And the price is not that expensive considering its near a...
