"If Roman restaurants have become known for brusque, no-nonsense service, Hosteria Grappolo d’Oro did not get the message. Affable servers circulate through the dining rooms beneath exposed wooden beams, delivering pure versions of cucina romana classics like toothsome tonnarelli cacio e pepe and tender roasted suckling lamb. The five-course Roman tasting menu is a steal at 34 euros a head." - Katie Parla

"“Another iconic Roman spot in the city center. It’s in between Piazza Navona. I grew up near here because my grandmother had a little apothecary, so I was working there after school. My first kiss was in one of those alleyways in Piazza Navona. It’s the heart of the working class of Rome. Great atmosphere and great food—super mammone. Again, very Roman. [My go-to order is] amatriciana. I love red sauces more than cheesy sauces. Between cacio e pepe and amatriciana, I’d always choose amatriciana. Start with a great glass of red wine. You’re set.” We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Since the turn of the century, this long-established restaurant near Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori has been run by five local business partners, one of whom is the chef. Top-quality, classic and generous Roman cuisine (cacio e pepe pasta, roast lamb, salted cod etc) is to the fore here, served in an attractive, rustic-style dining room. The background music – a nostalgic 1970s mix of rock and blues – also deserves a mention." - Michelin Inspector

We had an amazing experience. The food was so flavorful and we loved every bit of it! Would strongly recommend to book in advance. They specifically adjusted our reservation, which we really appreciated as well. Service was also great & we'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Best Carbonara we had in 5 days of intense searching. Was so good we also got a second round of Cacio e Pepe which was also out of this world. The starters were also wonderful and the wine list is expansive.

This was a fantastic place to eat. Firstly, the servers are very friendly. They help and make you feel comfortable. Secondly, the atmosphere is sublime. Very intimate and cozy. Thirdly, the food tastes out of this word. Even something as simple as the bread was fluffy. The bacon fettuccine pasta and lamb are delicious, paired with their red wine. Finally the price is extremely reasonable. Highly recommend.

If this establishment is Michelin-recognized, I shudder to think what standard they’re upholding. My wife and I opted for the 4-course set menu, hoping for a memorable culinary experience. What we got instead was a masterclass in mediocrity, with moments of outright revulsion. The starters? Bland and forgettable. The cod had a disturbingly “fishy” taste—a glaring indication of poor quality or mishandling. A rare bright spot was the carbonara, which was actually quite good, though hardly enough to salvage the overall experience. Then came the cod. To call it inedible would be an understatement. I understand that Roman cod is traditionally salty, but this was absurd. The dish was so excessively salted that after just a couple of bites, both my wife and I felt physically unwell. We weren’t alone in our disgust: a diner at the next table, also served the cod, visibly gagged and couldn’t finish it. When I raised my concerns with the server, I was met with condescension rather than professionalism. Rather than addressing the issue, he smugly insisted that “everyone loved the dish” and implied that I simply wasn’t accustomed to salty food. A laughable excuse that sidesteps the glaring reality: this dish was objectively unfit for consumption. The final course was a small, neutral dessert—hardly enough to redeem the disaster that preceded it. Overall, this restaurant reeks of a tourist trap. It is baffling how this place has received any accolades, let alone a Michelin acknowledgment. The glowing reviews must either be fabricated or written by individuals with exceedingly low standards. Avoid this establishment at all costs. The photo is of the cod.

The cod fish pasta was surprisingly good for someone who doesn’t like olive and cod fish, but just a little too salty. The aubergine appetiser was interesting, it feels and tastes like vegan beef ball with tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was excellent.

This dining experience was really memorable and offered a romantic atmosphere with excellent service, great wine, and amazing food. Can’t say enough positive things about this restaurant as it felt like a true authentic Italian experience. The tables were nicely spaced apart and was one of the quietest dining experiences we had in Rome. We did the tasting menu and enjoyed the rigatoni, cacio e pepe, oven roasted lamb, and braised beef cheek. Everything was phenomenal, tasted amazing, and left us wanting to come back. If you are visiting Rome, this is most certainly one place you should want to check out. The Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition is well deserved with this restaurant.

Found this restaurant via Eater. We didn’t have a reservation and had a big stroller and two kids. They were able to accommodate our family with indoor seating and space for our stroller. On top of this family friendly service the food was amazing. My wife and I tried the Eater recommended 5 course meal for only 39euro what a steal! Just check out the presentation in the pictures. This restaurant lives up to all the reviews.

This is an amazing place to eat. It has a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. The funny things is that there's a restaurant next to this one that's full, it has big lines, while this one was almost empty. The service was incredible, and so was the food. We had pasta Carbonara, meatballs and Bruschetta.
