Al Braciere

The pasta itself is great. My wife had the fettuccine chicken Alfredo. The chicken was small, little chunks of dry chicken. She said it reminded her of canned chicken. She didn't eat the chicken. I had a pasta with some crumbles of bacon that was nothing to write home about. My sparkling water was pretty flat. I did enjoy the white Russian though. I'm not sure why this joint has a 4.5 rating.

A lovely spot for lunch! The servers were friendly but unobtrusive, and kindly tolerated my efforts to speak Italian. I ate an absolutely perfect salad - everything was so fresh and flavourful - and the pizza diavola was piping hot and delicious with a fabulous thin crust.

The pizza was delicious, the service was fast, and the prices were great. The restaurant is located on a quiet street, away from the crowds, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately just so-so. While they did make my favorite pizza, it had little taste and the tomatoes were old. Thy forgot part of our order, and charged €5 for 250ml coke.

Tasty and well prepared food. Fairly inexpensive. Service ok but not more. Nicely decorated restaurant. No pretty view but you can't have it all.

Excellent carbonara and caccio e pepe sauce! A really nice place to have a good pasta.

We had the T-bone steak. It was delicious! Haven’t had such quality steak in a while. Personnel is very kind as well. Would definitely recommend.

We were in Rome on vacation. There was 6 of us traveling together, so tables are a little harder to find. We decided to take a stroll and see what restaurants we could find near our Airbnb. This place was amazing. It seems like an alley, but since all the streets are small they all seem like alleys. The food was fresh and amazing. The staff was super attentive. We ate there 3 more times including our last day. If you go there, have the lobster spaghetti, I’m still thinking about it.

We loved the pizza and the pasta. The staff were so nice and welcoming! The patio was also super cute!

Five stars for two reasons: 1). Their seafood pasta was incredible! Tons of fresh seafood cooked perfectly in a tomato based sauce with their homemade picci (I asked for pasta substitution). Literally one of the best seafood pasta I had eaten in Italy. 2) Kind staff! When Rome suddenly poured rain, a family of four ran under Al Bracer's outdoor patio covering. The staff brought out new clean garbage bags and cut arm holes and head holes for the family and got the kids laughing. Seeing this made my heart warm up. Please support this tasty and kind restaurant with your patronage!

Every time I visit Rome, this restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants to visit. Great customer service, great food, and great free limoncello!!!

Delicious meal, fast and kind service! Very accommodating! Came back the next day and will eat here again! We had the pasta, tonnarelli cacio y pepe and the bruschetta with salmon the first day. Today pizza! All delish!

What a wonderful place!!! Ask for Maurizio (the owner) and inquire about the special teams of the day!! Wonder homemade home style cooking. The carbonara is outstanding. I promise you will want to find the nearest piece of bread and sop the egg based cream right off the plate. The service and hospitality is absolutely welcoming. The con: you will be full and want to walk off that meal because you will eat all off your plate.

Maurizio makes you feel welcome and at home... great customer service and excellent range of food choices, ask for the special of the day.

Amazing fresh made pasta, pizza and sauces. We had a private class to make our own pasta and gnocchi from scratch and had so much fun. Eating it all afterwards was by far the best. After one week in Italy it was hands down our best meal! Extremely friendly and accommodating staff.

The best cheesecake in Italy!!!!! A taste of Chicago in Rome. And do not skip the salmon on cream with mushrooms!!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! And manager ensured we enjoyed the meal. A MUST AT ROME

We enjoyed this restaurant so much we ate here twice - something we rarely do when there are so many options in an area. Our waiter was lovely (we had him both times), and the food was amazing. The four of us had a variety of dishes from seafood to pizza and it was all great. They have a large menu so you should be able to make everyone in your party happy. The prices are very reasonable. If it's a nice day sit on the patio - it is on a small side street so not too much traffic.

We just finished a fun Pizza making class for the family at Al Braciere! If you have children this is a great experience. Not only was it fun and delicious but also educational. We now know how to make a pizza the "Italian way." We have 3 young children and Maurizio was patient, funny and gracious host. Afterwards we got to eat our own creation outside enjoying the hustle and bustle of Rome. We highly recommend stopping by during your days in Roma!

I was staying in the neighbourhood during my visit to Rome, and thoroughly enjoyed my meals here. It's off the beaten path, so very quiet and not overcrowded with tourists. Great pasta dishes, and very good bruschetta!

It's just okay. The service was very nice but the pizza was average as best. If you're from the states, the bread reminded me of little Caesar's. I didn't try the pasta, but if you want pizza I'd keep walking.

Third full day of being in Rome and we finally hit the most delicious meal jackpot. A MUST! Maurizio, the manager, is very friendly and engaging.

What a great place for having pizza at a reasonable price! Had my favourite gorgonzola with pears and walnuts and pizza rucola. A quick service for a half busy restaurant. Pizza was done to a turn. Was offered tiramisu at the end :) Paid ~20 euro for that set with coke.

Value was excellent, as was service. Definitely try the grilled meats, this appears to be the speciality.

I love this restaurant. My daughter Olivia and I took a cooking class with the owner Maurizio and he could not have been more helpful or charming. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh from the market. We especially liked the eggplant rolls, the pesto and of course the pizza. We can't wait to come back

Fantastic experience. Arranged a pizza making experience for the kids through a tour agency, honestly not expecting much. Not only did the kids have a great time (and make delicious pizza), but the servers and owner (manager? Mauricio) were all exceptionally kind, generous and lovely. Dinner wax great and desserts were too. Mauricio was even kind enough to explain how they make the carrot tart. A wonderful night and a short walk to Piazza Nuova.

We live in Rome and so we know what constitutes good pizza. The pizza here is better than most, and the service is above-average too. We once brought a fussy visiting friend here and they willingly customized her salad exactly the way she wanted it. Good calzone as well. If you eat outdoors, the bells of Chiesa Nuova ring right overhead and it creates a very Italian ambience.
