Da Domenico — Restaurant in Rome

We found this place randomly after repeatedly getting disappointed by every Tiktok and Reddit recommendations of where to eat in Rome and throughout our Europe trip. It was also during protest day so we weren't sure if they would open. I would definitely recommend showing up when they open (7.30 PM for dinner). There was no sign in front so go by address. We were let in by one of the family members that ran the restaurant. Most of the seats was reserved by locals coming in later.

Let me tell you I am writing this review BEYOND MAD. MAD I didn't have the stomach to eat everything on the menu. MAD now I have to justify coming back to Rome just to eat here again. And ABSOLUTELY MAD didn't eat here all three days of our trip instead. Yeah I'd definitely eat here for both lunch and dinner! Yeah I'd cancel a Michelin reservation to eat here instead! If I only had 2 hours in Rome I'd spent 1 hours eating here, 30 minutes digesting, and then another 30 minutes eating here again!

I really hope this place, the lovely people that runs it, and the local community that sustains it, continues to care for this beautiful piece of Rome. I selfishly hope this restaurant never have the misfortune of becoming popular on Tiktok or other socials and turn into another soulless tourist trap. I hope it maintains it local charm, excellent food, and sense of community for several...

This is a family run restaurant. Though it’s located in a touristic area but its customers are mostly locals (therefore you can be sure that it’s autentic and good). My husband and his friends have been their regular customers forever and I started to become one in 2014. We go there every week at least once a week. The food is absolutely remarkable; fresh ingredients and seasonal. If you speak Italian, Rolando (the owner will tell you what they have today (it depends on what he finds in the market that day) sometimes you have oysters, sometimes razor clams sometimes boiled meat Roman style, rack of lambs etc. And during winter time til February- punterella, an Italian dish you shouldn’t miss! Trust me the price you pay for such quality and experience is not overpriced at all. You’d have 3 coursed meal with side dish and good wine for about 50€ per person. You’d leave the restaurant with happy stomach I...

Our host told us this is the best restaurant in the neighborhood. We appreciate his excellent advice. Every bite was special. We had square pasta with asparagus topped with Parmigiano - SO very good. We also had two other pasta dishes, all excellent. The bread is worth mentioning - light and airy with a thin, crunchy crust. They have a smaller but well orchestrated menu with sophisticated proteins and fresh vegetable offerings. We ordered the dried cod baked in tomato sauce because I want to like dried cod but was thus far unconvinced. This dish did the trick. It was soft, flaky and mild in a velvety sauce. The excellent server explained everything in his best English. Trust them. You won’t regret...
