Osteria Flaminio — Restaurant in Rome

We made a reservation thanks to a true Roman friend’s suggestion, and we were expecting a bit more of the true Roman taste and dining experience. The recipe of 'spaghetti cacio e pepe' was modified to be for tourists (?), the 'carciofi alla romana' were poor in their typical and delicate flavour, and the fried 'fiore di zucca' was actually soaked with oil. We finished our dinner experience with a dry 'tiramisù', which is actually a real shame, and with 'cantucci al cioccolato' which were very far from what real cantucci are. The service was also below our expectations: the mains didn't arrive together, such that one guest had to eat their course when all the other were done. The place is very nice and the staff are kind and friendly and it is a true pity to have a poor dining experience in such a lovely...

I hesitate to write a review lest the social media hordes discover the place and descend upon it, but Osteria Flaminio deserves some accolades. This was our favorite meal in Italy this trip, which included risotto in Milano, lasagne and tagliatelle al ragu in Bologna, and pizza and seafood in Napoli. We had two appetizers, two primi, and a total of three glasses of wine for less than 80E. Portions were generous- both of us were famished when we walked in but we couldn’t quite finish everything. Service was warm and attentive but not overly solicitous. The servers spoke some English and they had a QR code for an English menu if you need one. Try the squash blossom appetizer! Also, amatriciana is one of my all time favorite dishes, and theirs was the best one I’ve ever had. Cannot recommend this...

Excellent food and exceptional service.

My wife and I ate here before a concert at Cavea. The dinner was fantastic - lovely staff, great wine, and delicious food. After the concert we struggled to find transportation back to our hotel so we decided to return to Osteria Flaminio as a last ditch effort. Even though the restaurant had closed, the staff stayed and called several taxis but with no success. The staff/owner then says "no problem" and graciously offered to drive us back to our hotel. We arrived home shortly, ending the day after a great meal, concert, and experience. Thanks...
