Bar Roma

"Neighborhood restaurant Bar Roma provides a lowkey place for sharing giant meatballs, cacio e pepe with handmade spaghetti, and a carafe of wine, especially when the weather is nice enough to get a table on the shaded plant-lined patio. Competitive couples can come for bimonthly trivia while the especially thrifty can dine during happy hour for discounts on cocktails, mussels, and fried shrimp. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson

"Rustic Italian eatery Bar Roma is opening on Christmas Eve and the team is whipping up a couple of special dishes for the evening, including Italian wedding soup, Italian white sturgeon caviar for two, and a 22-ounce wood-grilled bone-in ribeye with cacio e pepe butter. Reservations are available via Resy." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"Head to Bar Roma for great rustic Italian food, and to feel like you just stepped into “Charming Italian Countryside Home” magazine. The space has a lot of wood and distressed furniture, plus bags of flour lying around to remind you that they make all their pasta in-house. There’s an entire menu section dedicated to meatballs, with varieties including spicy BBQ pork and braised beef cheeks. But we like coming here for their pasta—the cacio e pepe is fantastic, and you can’t go wrong ordering whatever pasta is the special for the day." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Head to Bar Roma in Andersonville to hang out in a rustic space that has a lot of wood and distressed furniture. This place even has artfully placed bags of flour lying around, just to remind you that they make all their own pastas. It’s the kind of enjoyable spot where, even if you had every intention of leaving after just one glass and a plate of cacio e pepe, you end up staying the whole night. We’re sure your dog will be fine." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
