Dolce Pierozek — Restaurant in Rome

OH, MY! As my husband and I travel the world, we look for, and try, pierogi. Until today, it being my very favorite childhood food/memory, I have always been a little disappointed in some way. NOT TODAY! The pierogi were homemade and just like in my mom’s kitchen! They were fabulous. We traveled for an hour to come to Dolce Pierozek, and it was well worth it.

We also tried the galupki - it was exactly as my mom used to make it, a taste I haven’t had in many years. We interacted with lovely Alina - both she and I were crying over a shared love of her wonderful food. She was moved to hear that it was just like my mom’s. She gave us some free zeppelini, which were delicious as well. She couldn’t do enough for us. (When it was time to pay, she at first undercharged us - we wouldn’t hear of it!)

We had lovely appetizers of a potato salad and very tasty pickles. We took some of everything home with us, including a great dessert that we found in the soft drink fridge - all homemade.

Words just can’t express how wonderful the food was. If you were brought up with pierogi and some of the other delights on the menu, you will find your appetite filled - overfilled - here. All made with love, it was an experience of the ❤️!! Thank you so much, Alina! You made our day - our trip to Roma was so much better for having met...

Se cercate un’esperienza gastronomica autentica, calorosa e irresistibilmente golosa, Dolce Pierozek è una gemma da non perdere. Questo laboratorio di specialità polacche, situato a Roma nel quartiere Tuscolano, incanta che sia con pierogi salati o con gnocchi di patate ripieni di carne preparati come vuole la vera ricetta di casa.

I pierogi salati sono piccoli scrigni di pasta sottile, cotti alla perfezione e farciti con ripieni ricchi di sapore. Ogni variante ha la sua personalità: dalla carne alle verdure, fino alle combinazioni più sorprendenti, sempre conditi con quella generosità che solo chi cucina con amore sa dare.

Gli gnocchi di patate ripieni di carne sono una rivelazione. Morbidi e avvolgenti, nascondono al centro un cuore di carne speziata e succosa. Sono il comfort food per eccellenza: un piatto che scalda il palato e il cuore.

I pierogi dolci? Un vero peccato di gola: ripieni di ricotta polacca e frutta fresca, oppure con semi di papavero e vaniglia... Frutta fresca come fragole, lamponi, mirtilli, amarene, tutti accompagnati da una delicata panna acida che bilancia la dolcezza come una carezza vellutata, offrono quel contrasto perfetto tra dolcezza e freschezza. Ogni variante è una piccola festa: romantica e fragrante, irresistibilmente avvolgente.

Oltre alla qualità dei piatti, c’è la simpatia e l’accoglienza di chi sta dietro al bancone: un sorriso, una battuta, magari anche un assaggio in più… e ti senti...

This is a wonderful little place with an amazing owner and atmosphere! Pierogi are also typical for my country, Ukraine, and it was such a great experience to try them here! The owner of the place is very careful, funny and respectful!! Big thanks to this warmness, I will be definitely coming back! 🥰

p.s. I took pierogi with cabbage and with ricotta+malina, but on a picture you can see only first, 'cause they were too good and disappeared immediately...
