3rd year straight in Rome in search of the best carbonara. I’ve found this place and I would highly recommend to anyone out there still looking high and low . Like most people , I usually find my place based on YouTube recommendations by influencer reviews. Now that I’ve tried most of the best place in rome . I can definitely say that this is ranked no.2 in my opinion after my fav king of carbonara place ( Google)! A restaurant like this could be a Michelin standard by itself and definitely be a high end restaurant in so many other countries, yet this humble €12/- Carbonara is so perfectly done it’s unreal . Even the so so ones served on a paper plate which I’ve tried further down at Vicolo del Cedro cost €14/- ! From the good quality eggs they used to get the nice yellow color , to the perfectly aldente spaghettoni , the perfect cream infused egg mix with well balanced Pecorino & Grana with guanciale fat to created the perfect taste not too salty and strong on the aroma with just the right amount of pepper and creaminess together with the crunchy style guanciale on top of it . I think I might have even tasted some guanciale skin too which was even awesome !! Just simply like what the Italians say Mama Mia and I would went on to visit the restaurant a 2nd time for dinner in 3 days knowing my high tasting palate would be satisfied. Service was run by a group of cheerful young people mostly attentive , and always giving a warm smile to make you feel welcome . I made a reservation via WhatsApp from the local number provided on their website. I’ve included some pics taken there on both occasions, do drool on it and mark it as a bucket list . You won’t regret it .

La Fraschetta di Castel Sant’Angelo is a local trattoria with a few tables outside offering a simple and tasty menu. The specials of the day are written on a chalkboard and brought to your table to look at. The restaurant also has a small al carte menu on offer. The antipasti dishes range from €7- €16 and include antipasto, prosciutto and mozzarella and caprese salad. We jumped straight in for the pasta with five choices on the menu (all priced at €10). The Cacio e Pepe (black pepper and pecorino) was amazing. For such a simple dish, the flavours are outstanding and the pasta was lovely and al dente. We also tried the Lasagna with sausage and zucchini flowers (€13) which was sooo cheesy! Both portions were huge and more than enough for lunch. The restaurant had many locals dining which is always a good sign and although the service was pretty abrupt, we had a great meal.

Warning if you do not live in Rome, if you come to Rome to see the sights and you are even remotely considered a tourist seriously reconsider dining here! My wife and I have traveled to Paris, Spain, South America, Portugal and many other countries we have had really good service and bad service, but La Fraschetta di Castel Sant’Angelo is a restaurant to skip, because the utter contempt the servers have for tourists. My wife made a reservation with La Fraschetta di Castel Sant’Angelo a month before we visited Rome, she received an email confirmation which stated we have your reservation form the restuarunt. You need to know reservations are not required here just show up and you will get seated that is if you are a Roman. When we arrived we were ignore for about five minutes, we explained that we have a reservation a waiter, who then pretended that she had a reservation list, the waiter said we did not have a reservation. There were several empty tables outside where we asked to be seated, however the waiter said those tables are reserved. Our waiter then said you can sit next to the kitchen, what ever you do say no thank you and leave. We then waited about 10 minutes as people were seated right in front of us and none of them had a reservation! The server made no attempt to hide this from us, if I had to say the server and all the other servers seemed to have complete contempt for me and my wife. After about a ten minute wait we were reluctantly seated outside as requested, then we were promptly ignored, look if you want a decent meal with good service go to another restaurant that actually cares that you flew from the other side of the world to taste one of there dishes just leave. Businesses that treat their patrons with respect can easily be found within walking distance of La Fraschetta di Castel Sant’Angelo. I was astonished at how my wife was treated, I have left out some details, but once again 2,900 plus reviews really does not mean that this is a good place to dine. Now it took about an hour and a half for our order to come to the table, the Oxtail was either undercooked or over cooked and the Ariabita lack spice and flavor! By far our worst experience in Rome, La Fraschetta di Castel Sant’Angelo is not a place you want to try, skip it, not worth the hassle!!!!.

Inedible... After having been recommended by our hotel for having great pasta dishes and reading the reviews online we decided to get there early for some much needed comfort food. The "special" starter of meatballs had promise for what was to come but (deep fried and a little salty pork) but was quite nice. The main courses on the other hand were completely disappointing, my partner has the "special" wild mushroom pasta, it looked pretty appetising apart from the sickly smell of I can only describe as the brine that shellfish has been steeped in overnight, the taste was non existent apart from what your olfactory picked up. I had the "famous" carbonara, thoroughly looking forward after all the hype, reviews and reading the advertisement on the staffs shirts. Inedible...due to the overwhelming saltiness that made my kidneys hurt. Not to be rude, we tried to eat as much as we could, and when asked by the lovely staff if the food was ok we said yes. When the staff saw the unfinished plates of food they questioned us and I explained that the food was too salty, they explained it was due to the cheese that's used. I absolutely love salty food, always have and always will but this was next level even for a Scotsman. Overall the atmosphere was great the staff were lovely, friendly and polite but we were really let down by the food.

Reservé en este restaurante hace 1 mes, para asegurarnos el sitio de comida y degustar los platos que en tantos comentarios eran alabados. La comida no tiene ningún pero, era muy buena. Comimos carbonara, en 3 sitios más y la de este local fue a resaltar. Sin embargo, pongo 2 estrellas debido a que comimos en una situación mala e incómoda. En la reserva se indicó que éramos 6 personas y queríamos comer dentro del local (inside). Unas horas antes, me contactaron para confirmar que íbamos a asistir a la comida, e indique que finalmente seríamos 5. Las reservas se hacen mediante whatsapp, así que me respondieron validando mi mensaje e indicando que “nos verían más tarde”. Cuando llegamos al local, nuestra mesa no estaba lista y tuvieron que meter sillas de la terraza al local. El local en sí es muy pequeño y tenían una mesa de italianos grande (todo hombres), serían perfectamente 10-15 personas. Cuando nos llevaron a nuestra mesa, nos sentaron contra la cocina. El problema de esto fue lo siguiente: no había pared de separación, y el elemento para sentarse, de la gente que estaba dando su espalda a la cocina, era un banco de madera sin respaldo. El espacio era tan ajustado que daban con la espalda contra una máquina que desprendía mucho calor, parecía ser una nevera/refrigerador grande de metal. Encima de la máquina, separando restaurante de cocina, habían puesto una especie de cristal que tenía una abertura horizontal de unos 5cm por donde caían alimentos, ya que estaban cocinando encima de esa máquina. Entiendo que esto era para que los clientes vieran cómo se iba haciendo la pasta. El colmo de la gente que se tuvo que sentar en ese banco, fue que continuamente notaban golpes de los cocineros contra la máquina. El resto de asistentes a la comida estuvimos en sillas, en un espacio muy reducido para movernos. Era una mesa de 4 para 5 personas, que esto no hubiera sido un problema si la persona que estaba presidiendo la mesa, no hubiera estado encajonada contra la mesa de atrás o las 2 personas que estaban en el otro lateral no se hubieran visto sin espacio por las mochilas que los italianos de la mesa grande plantaron contra sus sillas. Cuando trajeron la comida, no teníamos cubiertos. Tuvimos que pedir dos veces que nos trajeran tenedores. La camarera se disculpó en ese caso. La mesa de italianos no dejaba de mirarnos, darse golpes para que sus amigos miraran hacia nosotros e incluso reírse. Esto último no tiene la culpa el local, sin embargo todas las condiciones hicieron que comiéramos en cuestión de 30 minutos, dejando comida en los platos y nos fuéramos. Por lo general solemos viajar mucho al extranjero, por ocio y trabajo. E italia no es excepcional ya que hemos estado anteriormente en 2 ciudades del país; Milán y Florencia. Sabemos lo que es viajar, y hay situaciones que son aguantables y otras que no. Aún así nos fuimos con respeto. No me gusta poner reseñas negativas, porque sé cuál puede ser el impacto pero en este caso la atención y al ambiente no fue bueno. No lo recomendamos.
