Hostaria Da Cesare Bottega Storica dal 1921

This is the most delicious pizza I’ve ever tried. Wow, I have no words for how delicious it is—amazingly thin, perfect dough, and amazing filling. Everything is so perfect, and the zucchini flowers are just fantastic. How delicious they are!

I came on a Sunday night and it’s was relatively busy and the food was delicious 😋 I had the lamb and the white fish. As an appetizer we got bruschetta and its was honestly the best tomatoes I have ever tried as an American. I also got the lemon cake which was divine. It was fresh and light highly recommend. The service was amazing very lovely and authentic Roman and Italian restaurant.

Our first visit to Rome was ended with high note, both ancient artifacts as well as Roman cuisine. We stay near San Angelo Vatican, the other side of Tiber River. We tried pasta & pizza for couple of days we decided to look for something different and closer to our Asian taste buds… right behind San Angelo castle and a short walking distance, we found this Forno a Legna Seafood restaurant (which said wood/cgarcoal grilled). The rating & review from Google gave us an assurance, feeling thrilled, we went ahead. The crave for seafood does add to the score, genuinely, I gave 5star for all 3 attributes. The Seafood was grilled and with strong charred fragrance especially the grilled calamari, the seafood risotto was so Al Dante with generous scallops and not too wet (this is the least moist Risotto I ever tried, but trust me, we were impressed). The staff Bernadette who served us throughout, recommended a local Lazio Chardonnay, match perfectly with the seafood, and she really attentive & courteous. We were totally satisfied and in fact we return the next day for second visit. And the night stroll at the scenic San Angelo Castle after the dinner made this weekend excursion end with perfect score.

It'd be good restaurant , if only waiter did'nt forget our order and took better care oc us. Don't recommend this place for hungry customers. After a service error, you can always apologize to the customer and offer a gift, such as a free dessert. After a ruined first evening in Rome. But don't worry, I'm sure that other than that, your service is impeccable. I was just unlucky.

Not sure what’s up with restaurants’ ratings in Rome. This restaurant was a five star in every way, great food and great service. We came here after going to a tourist trap with average rating of 4.9 with 2k review, and were not in a good mood due to the prior experience, this restaurant could cheer us up with their amazing Cacio e pepe and Lasagna. We will definitely be back!

I recently dined at Hostaria Da Cesare Bottega Storica and had a very enjoyable meal. The food was truly excellent. Food is simple yet rich in flavor. The service was attentive and friendly. The setting is charming and has a historic feel. It was still a pleasant environment. Overall, a great place for delicious Italian food with authentic flavors!

Just ate at Hostaria Da Cesare, it was a true Italian dining experience. Beautiful decor, friendly staff, and incredible food, our best yet in Rome. This is a locals restaurant, we came here to get away from the tourist type places. We started with fiori de fritti, it was light with a delicate crust with mozzarella inside. Then I had steak slices with potatoes, perfect, and the potatoes tasted like my nonna used to make. Also, great bread and wine to go with our meal. For desert, I had a pear tart, which was amazing. So glad we found this place.

Roman staples: cacio e pepe & carbonara done well. Slightly on the saltier side and very very al dente but still absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

The food is phenomenal. The service was great. It has an authentic feel with the setting. A must do in Rome.

We had eaten here 7 years ago and it was...average. But with limited options this trip, our concierge recommended we go. It was singularly the WORST meal I've had in Italy. The featured squash blossoms were more batter than blossom and had absolutely no taste. My wife ordered veal that needed a chainsaw to cut through. I ordered the Roman Cacio e Pepe...it was heavy, over seasoned and poorly cooked. The waiter asked if we wanted bread. Silly me, I'm thinking this is a part of a good meal...here was an easy €5 addition to the bill. Fool me once. Fool me twice. Never again. I should have just gone around the corner to Ristorante Ambasciata Di Capri and let Mário Tarantino use his 4th Generation of cooking with love take over. Now that's Amore!

Local steak house of Prati area. Does not open for dimmer until 19:30. Not Texas style steaks but Italian style, different but very good quality. We have some specials, pastas, steak with black summer truffles and wine. They have a large selection of wine. Overall large menu with pasta, steak and fresh seafood. Try the specials if you go. Everything was done very well. Tables have cloth, water and wine glasses that all are monogram with restaurant so you can see attention to detail everywhere. High quality ingredients and great service. You pay for that quality as you would expect.

I dined here on a recommendation from Chef John Nocita, the founder of the Italian Culinary Institute in Calabria. When an Italian Master chef suggests a restaurant for others, he is putting his reputation on the line. This was an excellent recommendation. The decor is old school, as the restaurant has been around since the 60's, but don't let this fool you. The food was absolutely perfect from start to finish, The only thing I was disappointed with was the fact that there were only two of us, and that I could not order more. Hostaria Da Cesare is a must in Rome!

In short, this restaurant pissed me off a bit. We were sat outside Quickly which was great. Unfortunately our server either hates English speaking people (including the aussies and brits near us) or he found out his gf was cheating on him. Either way, excuse my french.....err, italian, this guy was a di*k. I asked him for a glass of red wine and he said they had a glass of tuscany and said it was good...it wasnt. When our food came out he slammed the bowls down and walked away without saying a word. Wine glass empty and never asked if I wanted another. The food was great, but the service/waiter needed an attitude adjustment. Trust me when I say there were many tables that felt the same.

Nice friendly restaurant. We ordered the suppli, salmon carpaccio tasty but similar to all other restaurants. The fish balls in maranara were delicious; also had the Milanese (vegetarian) good taste; the veal scallopina which as good; the tagliata steak with black Tartuffo delicious; Tiramisu very good, creamy!

Gave us the wrong bottle of wine, and then overcharged us. Charged for bread too. Stay away if you are a tourist. If you check the other reviews on Google you will see a pattern. A pattern of ripping tourist off.

My husband and I dined here on a recommendation of "Fodor's favorite" (Rome edition). This place is near the Vatican City. It was hard for us to find since the streets of Rome was so confusing (still we love Rome=)). The food here is great. My husband ordered the florentine steak and a side of roasted potatoes. The steak was huge and cooked to perfection (medium rare). I had the lobster and shrimp pasta (which I gobbled up...lol it was delicious) and of course we had the house wine. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Rome!!

This is a great restaurant with fantastic dinner. We were very pleased with the service and our food was great. Pasta and fish were great. We'll definitely go back to try their other dishes.

We ate here due to the one "Fork & Spoon" rating from Michelin...the quality we expect from a one "Fork & Spoon" rating was not our experience. The pasta was average, the vegetable side was cold, and the fried anchovies lacked a crisp clean presentation. In short a very basic restaurant that night for Rome nothing worth going out of your way for...
