Wow wow wow. Incredible service and incredible food! Probably the best pasta in all of Rome. It was so good that I came for lunch, and then came back for dinner! Lunch time had no wait. We ordered the Amatriciana and Cacio e Pepe, these two pastas were the best pasta I’ve had in my entire week in Rome. Waiters were super nice! Kept giving us these shots of sweet liquor and these cinnamon biscuits on our table. Super friendly staff, it’s like you want to be their friend. I tried another spot for dinner later that night, and immediately regretted that I didn’t return to Otello. So we came back the next night for dinner. Long line of at least 15-20 people. The waiter recognized me from the day before, and we were all given these small cups of wine while we wait. If I’m in Rome again, I would come back here for ever meal. The food is authentic and the vibe is so friendly! I would give this place 6 stars if I could!

Usually a bit of wait (15-45 mins). The service was quite slow to order and pay, but food came out quickly enough. The food portion is really good. We had a great lasagna and ravioli, both were really good (although I wouldn't say the best I had in italy). The tiramisu is a good portion, the taste is fine but again, not the best one we've had. The fried zucchini flowers were absolutely fantastic though!! The wine, although Chianti DOCG, was not the best quality but the size was good for the price (6 Euros). The house wine is much better IMO for the price (Moltepuciano). The atmosphere was just a bit too loud. That might have been because of the americans next to us, but that's just everywhere in this area. Great place for tourists and I wouldn't consider this the typical tourist trap, as the quality is actually good. Overall a great deal for the price, we ate a lot and didn't spend as much as other restaurants.

Surprised by the good reviews as our experience was disappointing from start to finish. We ordered two pizzas, both had the most rubbery cheese which was unable to melt - as shown in pictures. The thickness of toppings meant they didn’t have time to cook in the oven which resulted in watery, flavourless food - the ingredients were cheap. I told the waiter the pizza wasn’t good, he replied “well that’s what you ordered, I told you not to” and laughed, assuming we would find this funny. He then offered an alternative, I refused all the meals were bad. A friend had the mussels, these were very gritty. Her wine was dreadful. The sparkling water for the table was flat. We asked for the bill, the waiter then brought the manager to discuss our feedback. The manger was defensive and told her the pizzas were typical of Rome. I’ve show these pictures to 4 restaurant owners in Rome and they’ve shared my dismay, these are not Roman pizzas. The waiter and manager were very dismissive yet trying to act like they cared. They decided to discount our bill by €80. We didn’t ask for them to do this. We insisted on paying. It was the right gesture for them to make, but sad they seemed to do this to avoid a negative review rather than finely care about our experience. We will not go back and remain baffled by the number of people eating here.

Mmmmmmm interesting……. There are first times for everything after all. Food and wine we had were just ok, basic, not bad, not great as well (for example gnocchi from the bag with a plain tomato sauce my 10 year old nephew can make). I disagree with others that it has normal prices, especially the 2nd dishes/courses are awfully overpriced for absolutely no reason, that’s why we didn’t order any after all. End of food review. Service now …. What to say words can’t describe…. A team of 12-14 rather young people, walking around, making fun, laughing, swearing, showing to each other middle fingers, in general a very relaxed team of people that get paid for making whatever they like inside the definitely unattended shop…. The cutlery was dirty, we had to take our selves things we needed for our food, like oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, from their stand, because employees were busy playing with them selves… They took our order,served it and then we paid at the end… that was all, I guess a client in a restaurant doesn’t need anything else, correct? We definitely had an interesting time in here… I wonder who makes the 5 Star reviews…. Really people get serious, you mislead other travelers to awful places that offer just above the average food by rating it so unjustifiably high. Really disappointing……
