Found this little gem through the reviews and wanted to see for ourselves if the food was really that good. Unfortunately they were full, so we came to try it the last day of our stay in Rome. The food, the service, the atmosphere - EXCELLENT in all the areas! It was the best food we ate in Rome (and we visited a lot of places)! For a small price compared to what you can pay in other restaurants nearby, this was the tastiest experience we had! The server Rupo (hopefully I got the name right) was very kind and treated us like family, like guests to their home. I can't stress enough how generous and amazing the food was - we wanted to go there for our dinner as well, but unfortunately we were still full from the great lunch. For starter we ordered bruschetta with pomodor, olives and artichokes- the amount of "spread" was amazing and very tasty as well! For main course we ordered spaghetti amatriciana and fettuccine with porcini mushrooms - both were delicious, had a great aperol spritz and after the lunch we got a tiramisu for free! Don't bother going to Pompi for tiramisu, this one was a 100x better, made with care and love. They also sent us off with a complementary limoncello. When in Rome, make sure to visit this place, but rather reserve a table as there is not too much space. All in all, an amazing experience and we will be coming for more next time!

After having eight meals of pasta, including four carbonaras, during my 4-night stay in Rome, I conclude that Kamrul at Sfiziami serves the best carbonara, pesto and gnocchi in Rome. The carbonara, pesto and gnocchi are the best I have ever had in my life, and have thus collectively earned, in my books, the venerable title of “The Holy Pasta”. The explosive guanciale in his carbonara and his fresh pesto will redefine your understanding of “flavour” while his nuanced mastery of “heartiness” and “fluffiness” that is meticulously kneaded into each and every one of his gnocchi is guaranteed to etch an indelible mark on your mind, leaving you forever longing for that impossible mouthfeel and texture. While I have attached a few photos of The Holy Pasta to this review with the appreciation that a picture speaks a thousand words, they are nevertheless insufficient to convey the full gamut of my experience. You must try it. But beware as tasting The Holy Pasta will leave you questioning all the pastas you have enjoyed in your life, and will enjoy in the future, as a higher plane of culinary existence unveils itself before your consciousness. Pasta will never be the same again, for you have ascended another step on the Experience Ladder. But that’s why we’re all here, to climb that ladder, so go forth and ascend. 16 Dec 2023

I seldom rate because I’m too lazy but I feel that this is needed especially when there are so many positive reviews. Don’t get me wrong, it’s purely my perception and if you would wish to give this a restaurant a try, go ahead. My friend and I came here because of the positive review of the seafood risotto and spaghetti. However, when we settled down and wanted to order, we were told they ran out. That was at 7.30pm. Disappointed for sure but not the worst yet. We decided to order: (1) Caesar Salad, (2) Aglio Olio, (3) Carbonara Risotto (1) The salad was okayyy with generous amount of eggs and lettuces but was dry. It was sprinkled with many deep fried bacon bits that were extremely salty. To be honest, it tasted like fried pork lard. (2) here comes. The aglio olio has 0 flavour, and it’s literally boiled spaghetti soaked in a mixture of oil & water. While my friend opted for less spicy, there was no spiciness at all. The garlic was seen uncooked also. (3) Carbonara Risotto. It was super overcooked and tasted like porridge. Again, it was like just porridge + carbonara sauce drenched over it. The flavour wasn’t infused into the rice. Again, it’s sprinkled with the extremely salty deep fried bacon. Both of us just took a few bite and decided that our stomach deserves better. When queried, I was honest and blunt with my feedback on how unpalatable the dishes are but I got a series of defensive answers. One in particular amuses me, "I'm guessing you are from China or Korea? So maybe that's why you prefer the food to be more flavourful" LOL... I gave up, paid the check and left. The plus point was the server decided to waive off my carbonara because I only ate 3-4 spoonful. I felt bad for food wastage but the food was really that bad. Most of the diners were Asians, and a few were Singaporeans like myself. I overheard one of the table girls were saying the food is great when queried - I CANNOT COMPREHEND. For the service, it was sub-par and not trying to allude to anything but none of the servers and cook are Italians. Not sure is that the reason for the poor quality food but definitely, I felt like it’s an insult to Italian Cuisine, esp in Italy’s Capital.

意大利面界天花板 First day - We are in Italy for two weeks for our honeymoon. We have been to many restaurants and the food at this small cute restaurant is absolutely the best! The seafood spaghetti with three layers of seafood was amazing, there were at least eight different types of seafood in it, the position was massive as well, we plan to have dinner there everyday over the rest of the trip. The boss and staff were very friendly. Highly recommended. Second day - Came back on the following day, had the best ever gnocchi 👍👍 this is something you can't miss in Italy, the boss Rupok was so friendly and gave us a few shots to try, haha, felt it would be hard to walk back to hotel. We are still at the restaurant btw. 😊 Third day - Came back again today, it was three times in a row and wanted to try different dishes. We ordered risotto and cheese cake, all beautifully done, tasted amazing. We had a good chat with the bosses Rupuk and Kamrul, and we were inspired by their passion for serving the best Italian food and building connections with the people coming from all over the world. I believe they will be successful in the future, and hope to see them again when we come back for our anniversaries.
