Trattoria Manzoni — Restaurant in Rome

This store is a tourist trap . We went here twice , once because it seemed nice for a 3 course meal and once more because the group had booked another meal. Meal 1 price : 15€ course 1 : Bruschetta pro: fresh tomatoes con: should be included in any normal italian restaurant and had poorly made salad pieces with it. course 2 : you were able to choose between the 5 cheapest pasta or lasagna . pro: taste was okay con: small portion, gave you cheap stale bread from the store ,which only US-Americans would be able to call bread. course 3 : tiny bowl of chocolate mousse pro : tasted nice con : size was not even half as large as the palm of my hand, summary meal 1: not worth 15€ only worth if you are starving to death. drinks : only got water Meal 2 : another 3 course meal for 20€

course 1 : Bruschetta pro: N/A con: tomatoes were old this time, bread was burnt to black, unable to eat it without dissolving it in my own spit for a minute. not recommended for anyone that values their teeth

course 2 : Lasagna pro: taste was fine for the stores standard con : it was at most just a 3-minute microwave lasagna and a tiny portion. course 2.5 : a portion of frenche fries with schnitzel pro : french fries were fine con : schnitzel was inedible, consistency of rubber and had pressed low quality meat . course 3 :tiny bowl of chocolate mousse pro : tasted nice con : size was just a tad bit larger than last time drinks: free softdrinks and water( tap-water with ice cubes) summary : worth 20€ only in a world where money is worth less than a childrens toy. just get a normal meal if you really have nowhere else to eat, dont fall for their poor underhanded deals. summary overall: do not eat here!!! passive...

Honest Bad review.

Edit. Owner seems to not understand the review. Replying by the " how many people go to resturent expect for free things " Main point is not expecting free things but your honest and fair treatment to all customer. Not just faking towards forigners. And actual good food. Bless your heart.

We booked through the TheFork app and went to eat at this typical restaurant. First of all, the food was all terrible: salty and not warm enough. The meatball spaghetti had no taste, and the meat was extremely salty. The lasagna was also very salty and only slightly warm. The chicken wings were excessively salty and soft, not crispy. The carbonara with truffle had no truffle in it and was extremely salty. None of us could finish our meals. The cocktails tasted like syrup with cheap alcohol. The cashier was rude, and there was significant discrimination and racism. Every other table received farewell shots, but we were not served any. When we asked for a complimentary bruschetta for a friend who joined us late, they served her only half a piece of bread (shouting in Italian, "mezzo bruschetta"). We overheard staff behind us speaking in Italian and Arabic, saying that we were "silly students." Overall, the experience was not good at all. We didn't realize this place would be so bad, as we came based on good reviews. The reviews seem fake, or perhaps they're from people who have never eaten good Italian food. We paid a bill of over €130 but received bad food and poor service. We will never come back to this place and hope others are aware of...

We visited this Italian restaurant two days in a row- and for good reason. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched. The owner and servers treated us like family, going out of their way to make us feel welcome. They generously offered a complimentary appetizer, aperol spritz mini drinks and even a small dessert the next day to show gratitude, and checked in with us often to ensure everything was perfect.

On our first visit, we ordered two pastas, a pizza, tiramisu, and some drinks. The carbonara was packed with flavour, and the walnut ravioli was absolutely immaculate. The pizza was also solid. Prices were extremely reasonable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

We returned the next day and tried the Alfredo ragu and fettuccine arrabbiata, again, both were fantastic. The tiramisu was tasty, though we weren’t fans of the syrup topping (a bit too artificial), but that was the only small miss in an otherwise flawless experience.

This place feels truly authentic- the kind of cozy, local spot that makes you feel like you’re in someone’s home. Absolutely worth the walk, and we’ll...
