La Soffitta Renovatio

A Truly Authentic Italian Experience Near St. Peter's Square This restaurant is a hidden gem, tucked away in a basement just a few minutes' walk from St. Peter's Square. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, exuding a positive vibe. They offered excellent advice, which was especially helpful for a first-time visitor like me. The food was simple yet of great quality. I tried a real Italian pizza for the very first time, and it was an entirely different and superior experience to what you typically find in the UK. Best of all, the meal was very well-priced and didn't break the bank. A special thank you to all the staff who shared a smile and offered such great recommendations. I'll definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be back if I get the chance! .

This food here was all excellent. We ended up eating here twice. The pizza was the best that we had in Rome. They have a variety of of food too. Everyone loved their meals and would order them again. If we go back to Rome we will come back here and recommend this restaurant to others.

Super good gluten free pizza! Never had such a good gluten free pizza and they also have a wide variety of different dishes. The fish of the day was amazing and the grilled vegetables too. The service was wonderful. Our server spoke Italian Spanish and English!! Thank you so much!

Very delicious and fresh food. We tried the gluten free ravioli and pasta and they were amazing. Also supli, Italian starter, was available gluten free and was very delicious. We did not try their pizza but saw people ordering both gluten free and regular pizza and they both looked great. Definitely recommended!

By far the best gluten free food in Rome!!!! So delicious we are going back for dinner tomorrow. The explosion of flavor in my mouth left me wanting more. Gluten free dishes were marked clearly which is always helpful for someone who has celiac. 11/10

5 Stars – An Absolute Gem for Celiacs! We visited Le Soffitta Renovatio four years ago and loved it back then – and this time it was just as amazing! As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, but here it’s the exact opposite. The staff is knowledgeable, the menu has fantastic gluten-free options, and I felt completely safe the entire time. The gluten-free pizza was the BEST I’ve ever had in my life! Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done – an absolute dream. Highly recommended – whether you’re gluten-free or not! We will come back again!!!

Located right across Piazza Risorgimento. It's a great, lively place to have dinner and offers dining both outside and inside. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Menu offers a wide selection of pastas and pizza; They even have gluten free options. Staff was very attentive, kind, and helpful.

We ate here multiple times while in Rome because it was so good! They have a separate vegan menu with lots of options, and the vegan cheese selection is phenomenal. We loved the staff and the atmosphere. We will definitely be back next time we're in Rome!

Wonderful gluten free restaurant in Rome near the Vatican. The staff is friendly and smooth. The food is delicious and the gluten free options are plentiful. I love the gluten free pizza here, it's one of the best places in Rome and definitely worth a try if you are gluten free. The ambiance is quiet and comfortable, it would be a good spot for a date or for a small group of friends. The wine is delicious as well!

We stopped here for lunch during the week around 2pm and were able to dine outside. They have a separate, all-vegan menu that you have to ask for. My wife & I split a couple pizzas, a Capricciosa (artichokes, mushrooms, and vegan salami of some sort) and a Fume vegan (smoked cheese and spek, a type of smoked ham, vegan of course), €13 each. We also got a side salad (€7), pretty lame really, as it was just some leaves, 4 slices of tomato and shredded carrots -- you dress it yourself, as per standard in Italy (and many places in Europe). Both pizzas were quite large and very filling, with the flavours and textures balanced well. Good bases and crusts, on the thicker side. Very friendly and astute service. Didn't feel like too much of a tourist trap despite the proximity to the Vatican. Recommended.

Last dinner of our trip was at La Soffitta Renovatio. They have several gluten free pasta (1,00€) and pizza (2,00€) options. Busy on a Friday evening (8:00pm). All the tables inside were reserved but no wait for one outside. No coperto charged. - Calice rosso (6,00€) - Carciofo giudia (8,00€) - fried artichoke was tasty. The outer fried layer tasted like fries - Carbonara (13,00€) senza glutine (1,00€) - guanciale was good. Carbonara not too heavy - Fettuccine porcini (18,00€) - homemade fettuccine. Very firm, al dente bite. Reminded me more of noodles than pasta

The service was amazing,l. We arrived as a group of 10 for lunch with no reservation and they took care of us immediately. Our waiter was friendly, fun, and unflappable dealing with all our allergies. The food was fresh and delicious. Even the gluten free pasta was fresh made in house. What a treat!! Then, they had a section, a whole selection, of gluten free desserts. I had the strawberry cheesecake. They were also extra careful double checking ingredients for cross contamination for my niece who is severely allergic to nuts. Everyone said the "normal@ food was delicious too!! Def eat here. Only a 10 minute walk from the Vatican!

I need to move to Italy!!!! The gluten free scene is beyond amazing! Seated right away, treated like long lost friends, so many gf choices from antipasti to dessert! Service was great, portions were HUGE and prices very reasonable.

I visited La Soffitta Renovatio for lunch on my recent trip to Rome, before heading to the Vatican nearby. I heard very good things about their gluten-free pizza and pasta so I was excited to try this place out but sadly my expectations were not met. By the quality of my food, I felt like I had been transported from Italy to Stoke On-Trent. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the point where to queue for a table was unclear, Firstly I went inside before being told to go back outside to be "checked in", after explaining to the waiter that I wanted to sit inside, I was then directed to wait somewhere else before being escorted back downstairs to my table a few minutes later - I felt like a Yoyo and would have preferred to just be in one place. It just left me feeling awkward. During my time in Rome, I wanted to try out a Cacio e Pepe, a traditional pasta dish from the Lazio region which includes Rome, my guest opted for a Margherita, we both ordered our food gluten-free, so I could try a bit of both. The pasta was dreadful, it was just so bland and dry, the pasta itself just didn't taste good and even the pepper and the sauce just couldn't save it and make it edible. The pizza was equally as bad, there was a lack of cheese and I originally thought they'd made the wrong order. The toppings again had no flavour, and the base was dry and gritty, I needed water just to stomach it and the dried rice from the flour was just leftover in my hands. Service seemed quick enough but neither attentive nor overly friendly. The chairs inside the restaurant were also incredibly uncomfortable, this is a trend I noticed during my time in Rome, I had to stand up multiple times during my meal just to get out of the discomfort. I'm not sure if they were having an off day or if there's a more glaring problem, as I also noticed the diner next to me being displeased with her pizza, where she was just taking the meat off and left pretty much everything - I noticed the gluten-free flags in this diner's food too - the only thing I liked about this place was the flags for gluten-free, but given how bad the pizza and pasta was, you'd know they were gluten-free on first bite anyway. I really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, as unfortunately my excitement was met with regret and fury. 1*

My Sicilian friend recommended this place. I enjoyed it very much. If you want Italian foods and hospitality it is place to come! They do really Italian foods. Chef will come to greet you and adjust the food based on your preferences! When you order, they provide a perfect guidance with the highest hospitality! They prepared lasagna with beef meat! I do recommend this place with yummy foods! Enjoy!

The gluten pizza was one of my favorites in Italy, amazing sauce, the crust was nice and soft but also crunchy! Would definitely recommend

Very hot day out when our group found this place with outdoor seating as well as basement seating with air conditioning. The English was partially in English and the staff seemingly all knew enough English that we had no issue. They take credit card. Everyones's meal was good, except the pizza was 'wet' (oil, maybe some grease as there was a lot of cheese) the ox tail was good, but as expected, very small portions. Great spot for a family lunch or a dinner date. Everything was good and I recommend this place, but there are so many places in the area to try, I likely won't come back.

Had a wonderful family dinner after a long day of sight seeing!! Best gluten free everything of the trip!! Fausto was friendly and attentive and had great wine suggestions along with great desserts!! Going back again this week!!!

The best We got a Diavola, Amitriciano and carbonara. We all enjoyed our lunch. Service was a top notch as well.

We stopped here around 11:30 after our tour of the Vatican, very hungry for lunch. The outside area had plants hanging around and was just a super cute vibe, which was part of what we were looking for (along with pizza). We got the primavera pizza and it was good, and definitely plenty for us to share, however we want to get a different kind next time. This was our first Italian pizza so nothing to compare it to, but we feel we could've maybe ordered better. However, service was great and we didn't get stuck sitting for long which was nice!

I was excited to find a restaurant so close to The Vatican boasting a full gluten-free menu. They were open all afternoon, so we didn't worry about making reservations as we were planning on dining early. We arrived around 5, and they were only seated outside, and we got a table immediately.  Service afterward took a really long time, even just to get water. I think we sat for about 30 minutes before finally waving someone over and requesting water. The menu is pretty substantial with gf pastas, pizzas, and calzones. Though the stuffed pasta like ravioli was not gf. The husband of mine ordered a normal calzone (not gf), and I had the lobster pasta and swordfish specials.  Food took a really long time again (even compared to normal Italian restaurant timing), and his calzone came out about 15 mins or more before my pasta. The gf pasta was clearly homemade, which was quite impressive, and there was a large lobster split down the middle. It was very messy and awkward to eat ig- cracking the shell and trying not to get it into the pasta, and the sauce was not very flavorful so I wouldn't get it again if I was returning. The swordfish; however, was delicious. Seasoned well, perfectly cooked, and very flavorful. The husband also enjoyed his calzone. I read great reviews about the gf pasta here, and maybe I just didn't order the right thing, but it definitely wasn't my most memorable gf pasta of the trip. The variety of gf options, though, was quite impressive and the fish excellent, so I'd definitely recommend trying this place out and maybe going for a pizza or calzone.

My husband and I loved this restaurant! We made a foolish decision and walked in without a reservation. Somehow they fit us in. What followed was fabulous service and amazing food ! We first ordered the artichoke Roman style , and the supplì for appetisers. Amazing ! The artichoke was the best I've had so far, the supplì was crunchy on the outside and so creamy saucy delicious on the inside. I got the chick pea chestnut soup, my hubs got the lentils each one was simply delicious. We chose the cacio and Pepe which amazed me with its authentic flavour We finished with their tiramisu. Everything VEGAN. They also have gluten free offerings. I'm so glad we found this place early in our trip. We shall return

I had an early dinner at La Soffitta Renovatio on 8/8/2022 after a visit to the Vatican. We found the restaurant through the Find Me Gluten Free app and would say this was one of our favorite restaurants in Rome. We were seated right away and everyone was very friendly. The ambiance is casual and could be a nice spot for lunch as well as dinner. GLUTEN FREE TIPS* The staff is very knowledgeable in gluten free dining and they offer all of their pastas in a gluten free version! It's common that a restaurant offers a single pasta (such as a penne) and then can use that pasta to make any of the dishes, however La Soffitta has a one to one matching for all of their pastas and it was amazing! My husband tried both and could not tell the difference. I would highly recommend this restaurant even if you aren't gluten free, as the food is great and the service is wonderful, and it's in a great location to all of the sites. *As of November 2021 my reviews are written from a celiac, gluten free perspective. I recommend researching online (like the Find Me Gluten Free app) and calling ahead for your own personal needs.

The next port on the cruise was Rome. We booked a private tour to take us around to popular tourist attractions including the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. Our guide Federico took us to a popular local restaurant La Soffitta Renovatio. My family and I ordered a few things to share. We got two Supplí's and a Margherita pizza. My dad loves Arancini so we decided to try Supplí which is similar to Arancini except it only has Arborio rice, sauce and mozzarella. They were really crispy, hearty and sweet from the sauce in the middle. The Margherita pizza is cooked with a wood fire oven. It was doughy and sweet from the sauce. For my meal I wanted to try Cacio e pepe which is a popular Roman pasta dish. Cacio is pasta mixed together with grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper. The word 'cacio' means cheese in Roman dialect. The pasta was made in house and was Al dente which literally means to the tooth but with pasta basically means its firmer. The sauce was creamy and peppery perfect for cold rainy days. I would highly recommend coming here to have a traditional Italian meal.

TOURIST TRAP! This was the first bad meal we had in Italy. Milan, Bologna, Florence, then this. The service was abrupt with bus boys bringing the food and dropping it without a word. Didn't pour the water, nothing. Meals were out in 10 minutes and looked like it. Neither entree was hot, but like warm. The salmon steak was dry, the potatoes had no flavor. The pasta was actually undercooked; not all dente, but crunchy. The Carbonara was flavorless except for salt. The beer was 3/4 full at best and the waiter was like a ghost. Our first rushed dinner in Italy, and we were glad to put it behind us.

This was our first Italian dinner at a restaurant on our trip; we picked this place because of its great reviews for diners with celiac. As our two college-aged kids have celiac, we made a reservation. One of them got pizza, and the other got pasta, and they shared. They both said, "Now we know what pizza is supposed to taste like!" They felt so comfortable there and liked the food so much that they returned two nights later when we went out for our 25th anniversary!

Not to be missed in Rome. Gluten free? Great! You are in good hands. Tons of options including a lot of gluten free beers. The staff was wonderful and warm. They really want to take care of you. The food was delicious and affordable.

For celiacs this place is a must eat. For non celiacs you won't be able to tell the difference that you are not eating gluten. In my three days in Rome we ate here twice... and my wife and I love to try new places. My wife is celiac so we got everything gluten free. Recalling what we ordered it was the special pasta with mussels (ordered this both times we were there), a Parma ham pizza, a mozzarella and cherry tomato pizza, Arancini, and mozzarella and ham appetizer. For dessert we had a cheesecake which was great but the day before we had a chocolate orange cake that was amazing. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable of celiac/gluten. One of our favorite places in Rome. 4 stars is insulting to this place. I'd give it 6 starts if it were possible

Excellent cuisine. The risotto alla pescadora was amazing, as well as the steaks, pizza and fish. Service was phenomenal. Great place to eat if you have celiac. Beautiful, air conditioned locale to give you respite from the heat. Highly recommended. Do not forget to order desserts with tons of options if you have celiac.

The pizza here is great. We enjoyed a quick lunch here after we explored Vatican City nearby. The service was okay, they seemed to forget about our small table in the corner (we were seated outside). We didn't get our drinks until our food was out and we kept asking for the check but the waiter seemed too busy to remember. However, the pizza here is very good and I would come back here again!

Best place ever! Run don't walk there!!! The gluten free pasta and pizza are amazing. The pasta was better than I have ever had, even pre-celiac! The whole menu can be adjusted to gluten free. The wait staff is friendly and celiac knowledgeable. My non-celiac husband wanted to go back again and share GF food (which we did)! Try the petite Verdot house wine and chocolate/orange cake which are tasty too!

The food is amazing delicious..and the deserts even better. Waiters and all staff are so gracious and attentive.

Pizzas were a highlight - including the gluten free pizza. Pizzas were very filling and high quality (artichoke and mushroom pizza was a highlight). The soup was pretty salty. Roman artichoke appetizer was delicious. Wine was nice.

Such a hidden, little gem close to the Vatican (but outside of the tourist trap area). My husband and I had an intimate wedding in Rome - they have a small room downstairs for private parties/large groups, which was perfect. The pasta was the perfect consistency - dense, and not chewy, the produce fresh and the meats/seafood delicious (as I heard). I'm vegetarian, but everyone else eats everything - they easily accommodated and had an extensive gluten free menu too. What really stood out here aside from the food was the service. We had a v sweet Bangladesh waiter (can't remember his name unfortunately but have his pic!) who graciously waited on all 18 of us, and when he found out it was my niece and nephew's birthday, he literally squealed, and got the managers/owners, who came in w a cake w a firecracker candle and sang happy birthday and gave Kinder eggs w toys in them (kids love these, and they're not cheap!). First class, genuine warmth and hospitality. My husband and I are avid cyclists, and have frequented the best Italian having lived in SF/NY - we love good carbs :) But, this was truly a special meal that will not be forgotten. If you want something warm (literally and figuratively) and authentic, come here. We hope to come back!

very yummy gluten free options, loved the fried zucchini flowers, doesn't taste gluten free AT ALL!! good aperol spritz and carbonara, wasnt my favorite in rome but still delicious! great service and environment. MUST TRY the gluten free arancini rice balls.

Delicious gluten free pizza. Riculina. Amazing. Best pizza we had in Roma and Venice. Service was outstanding. And offered to cut our pizza for us!!

This was our first meal in Rome and my wife wanted Pizza. We found La Soffitta through all of the yelp reviews and want to thank everyone for the information. This was a great place and the food was tremendous..... Started off with Calamari. Calamari was really good (not overdone like most) and the portion was plentiful. We had the Margarita and Bascaiola pizzas for our main. Good sized pizzas that were cooked to perfection. The toppings were very fresh and the dough/crust were soft. Service was good and the waiter was attentive to our needs. This is a little hidden as it is downstairs from street level.

Best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten and I can't imagine a scenario where one could craft a better gluten free dough. It's nearly impossible to detect that this dough is gluten free as we had both the regular pizza and gluten feee side by side. An absolute must visit for anyone on a gluten free diet in rome. The rest of the menu was good, not particularly outstanding or memorable but the gluten free pizza alone earns the 5 stars. Service was solid

This was our favorite meal in Rome, and how lucky for us that it was our last night! We chose it because it's near the apartment we rented, and we were all so tired of walking. We got there early, by Rome standards, so our expectations may have been low. Also, it was about a block from the Vatican so we were a little worried that it would be a tourist trap. Our waiter Christian immediately started entertaining us with his friendly jokes and theatrics, even though there was a bit of a language barrier. We told him that one member of our party didn't eat dairy and he elbowed him, gave him a knowing nod and implied "me, too". We ordered simply (I mentioned our expectations were low). For example I ordered an ensalata mista and homemade pasta with tomatoes, basil and pecorino. Christian acted like we were breaking his heart by not ordering the grilled chicory with roasted garlic, so a few of us did. I stuck to my ensalata choice though. Things came out in stages and Christian was very entertaining and theatrical about serving things family style, since we had implied we wanted to share. We had read that the owner's wife was from Portugal and so we were excited to see handwritten specials of the day. We tried a swordfish special which was absolutely amazing- rolled up, tender, not at all dry, stuffed with breadcrumbs and herbs, with amazingly fresh cooked tomatoes around it. Another special we tried was a roasted porcini mushroom dish- it was supposed to be a second course with ham, but he turned it into a starter with no ham so our vegan could try it (after dramatically running over to another part of the room and proudly bringing us a mushroom the size of his head for us to smell!), and it ended up being delicious! The ensalata mista ended up being arugula, bacon and cheese, so delicious! The perfect green accompaniment to our entree selections. Speaking of green accompaniments, Christian brought us sides of steamed spinach with lemon to squeeze on top. So good! And I can't forget the "pizza bread" as he called it- basically Napoleon style pizza dough, and instead of toppings there was olive oil and salt. Delicioso! The wine we tried was also amazing. The pasta dishes we got were to die for- thicker, chewier, al dente spaghetti noodles with the simplest, freshest ingredients on top. I will be dreaming about that pasta. The vegan said his risotto was good, but I didn't try due to so many other amazing dishes! Finally, as we were finishing up, Christian looks over at us and his whole face lit up. He raced over to another side of the room and grabbed an enormous bowl of peaches. We looked at each other, wondering what was happening. A few minutes later he came over and said he'd made us something special for dessert. He enthusiastically gave us each a martini glass, then went and got what he'd been working on. It was delicious, ripe peaches tossed in a little sugar and maybe some kind of liquor. He walked around the table serving us. It was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and I hope you get Christian as your server- he made the meal so fun an a wonderful memory! Don't go hoping for a quick bite, but rather for a (seemingly) authentic Italian experience. After being burned at another supposedly authentic place in this same Vatican neighborhood a few nights prior we were absolutely blown away by La Soffitta Renovatio! Grazie per un pasto meraviglioso!

Second time in Rome. Third visit to La Soffitta Renovatio. Great food. Excellent quality. The waiters are all professional and make food allergies easy to navigate. The make the beat gluten free pizza in Rome.

The first restaurant I have found in Rome that you can order gluten free off the entire menu! They can make everything on the menu and the specials gluten free! My husband enjoyed his regular pizza and I had a GF calzone! If it weren't our last evening here we would definitely be back! Great service, fast and top notch gluten friendly!

Good an service was delicious. Most of the menu has gluten free / celiac options and they were great with our allergies. Our server Christian was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Shockingly terrible experience. Waiter ran off halfway through taking our order and joked later about forgetting our table. Even worse was the food, which was delayed and came cold. We took the suggested wine recommendation which was some of the worst wine I've ever had. Guessing this place is a tourist trap and they don't expect repeat customers. Save your money and your time. Pick anywhere else.

I think this place has a lot of potential if they treated all their customers as locals. I get that their target customers might be tourists in Rome but they need to keep in consideration that nowadays a lot of people are foodies, and that some of their customers might actually be cooks, like me! The service was really good, nicest waiter ever! Super informative and sold the menu very well. I loved their pizza, what a deliciousness! and their wine selection. The carbonara pasta was also delish but the saltimboca was a total turn down. (See the picture) only three slices of meat and mashed potatoes for €18 or €22. I can't remember. I mean, dont get me wrong, the flavors were really good but the portion not so much. I think the main courses were a little bit over priced. Also the presentation of the saltimboca was kinda old-fashioned not like all the beautiful pictures I had seen online. I would recommend to go and try more things from their menu.

Best meal/experience we had our entire European trip. We were searching for GF friendly location and everything on menu can be made GF including all desserts. My wife who is GF couldn't believe it and would have eaten here everyday our entire trip if could. Prices were more reasonable then other nearby 'touristy' locations and seemed most diners were locals which is always a good sign. Everything we tried was top quality and the staff was friendly, attentive, and spoke English. My wife wanted to thank the husband/wife owners who manage the restaurant and they were so thankful to be recognized they made us each a special dessert free of charge. The attractions in Rome are certainly some of the best in the world, but when we think about our Rome vacation I think our overall experience in this family run restaurant will come to mind as one of the most enjoyable/memorable our entire trip. I would recommend it to anyone, GF or not, seeking a high quality authentic Italian meal in welcoming (no fuss) environment with highly trained professional staff. None of our other meals at other restaurants even came close.

We were starving after spending the day in Vatican City and had trouble finding a restaurant with the kitchen open between lunch and dinner. Thankfully we stumbled upon la Soffitta Renovatio. The service was some of the best we had throughout Europe and the food was so delicious. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and was quite tasty in the balsamic vinegar. As for the carbonara, I could eat it morning, noon, and night. The pasta is so simple yet so amazing. The pancetta is just one ingredient, but it goes a long way in adding the needed depth to the pasta. I looked forward to each crunchy morsel in every bite. I wish I could go back to try the pizza which I heard is quite popular. If you ever find yourself near Vatican City, definitely drop by la Soffitta Renovatio.

The best pizza!!! I had the spaghetti with clams and it was amazing. The marinara pizza was surprisingly one of the best on the menu. Delish!

If you were with gluten-free person, this is the place. Great menu with plenty of gluten-free options that are delicious for everyone. Great appetizers. Solid menu otherwise. Terrific cheese, good wine selection. Really nice outdoor seating. Especially around the side where is quieter. Friendly servers and staff. The gluten-free pizza is great. A little pricey, but worth it if you're including gluten free person

High expectations for this place after rave reviews on Yelp, but sadly disappointed. Ordered the sliced beef steak. It looked lean upon arrival, but was actually extremely marbled. Some prefer fattier cuts of beef, but there was barely any actual lean meat on it. Maybe got 4-5 bites that were edible, the rest was fat. For €20 I felt a little robbed. My mom ordered the salmon and half came out raw. :( The roasted potatoes were good though! The place itself was really neat in a basement-like setting with very nice waiters, but the food was just subpar.

So this is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. The location is convenient, the interior design is nice and pleasant, the food is agreeable and the price is reasonable. 3 stars b/c our server was rushed and unhelpful and because pizza was fine but not memorable. And 4 because the gluten free crust was so good, i double checked that it was glutenfree! and that they have a variety of glutenfree desserts. This is a little cozy place close to the vatican that i would definitely go back to if I'm in Rome and craving pizza (I'm gluten intolerant) - thank god it exists! I don't think it's the most exciting place to get pizza /dinner in Rome if u don't have food allergies though.

Lovely place! We googled places to eat close to where we were staying! This place came up and did NOT disappoint! Firstly, you take stairs down to get here from their main door, and it's very spacious! Love the ambiance - candle lit, dim lighting, and lovely paintings! The menu here is really extensive, and they have a full page of specials that are handwritten - another sign of a family-owned (although large) Italian business! Our waiter was kind and explained everything on the menu in detail The food -- I don't think I'll ever feel the same way about margherita pizza I have at home in the US again! So so fantastic and the tomato sauce was unbelievable. Cacio e Pepe was fantastic as well!! Also, the fried pizza is super excellent. It's really fried dough that makes the crust and is topped with marinara and oregano! For dessert, they had multiple options and gelato. We tried the canoli and the tiramisu both of which were excellent. I did enjoy the tiramisu more! Price were soooo reasonable! Definitely recommend!

The food was good, the service great, but the menu can you use a little more details. The ambiance is decent, we ate outside in a chilly evening. It's in a central location, walking distance from the Vatican museums. The best part was the gluten free options for my son that has celiacs disease.

After visiting the Vatican we stopped here for lunch. It is in the basement of the building. It is well air conditioned. We were seated right away. A lot of us are Cesar salads and our daughter had the gluten free pasta. A great place in Rome for gluten free. They are Celiac approved. Place filled up with your groups as we were finishing up.

One of my favorite places in Rome. I went probably over five times in six months. They have a full vegan menu which is one of the most impressive I have seen in Italy. Make sure to ask for Washim, he is a great waiter. He also was Charli, Dixie, and lol huddys waiter as well

This place knows how to do pizza! I ordered the gluten free Diavola pizza, which had tomatoes, mozza, and sausage on it. It cost 10 euro, then only 1 euro more to make it "senza glutine". So worth it! Unlike other establishments that charge quite a premium for gluten free options, or don't offer them at all, La Soffita Renovatio offers all its pizzas and pastas as both gluten free and regular. The food came out quickly and I scarfed down that pizza so quickly - it was mouthwateringly good. My boyfriend ordered a regular pizza and raved about its quality too, so we can attest that this place is one of the best in the Prati neighbourhood for all pizza! Definitely worth checking out as it is very close to the Vatican. We ate dinner at 6:30pm and it wasn't busy at all, but as we left around 7:30pm, it was getting full inside. All in all - great location, awesome prices, and top-notch pizza. Can't wait to come back!

The food is very good, especially after spending a long day touring the Vatican. We had the carbonara pasta, the sauce was just a bit thick but very tasty, and the pizzas were solidly good. The only slight disappointment was the osso bucco which had very little meat on the bone. This is a good place to rest and recharge. The house wine was nice too. Service was excellent.

I was worried about finding a nontourist trap restaurant near the Vatican and was pleasantly surprised with this place. The absolute stand outs were the carbonara (best of my trip) and the divola spicy salami pizza (second best pizza of Italy trip).
