Osteria Bonelli

We got here based on a recommendation from my friend who is Italian, so that says a lot already. We know how Italians are specific about food quality. Let me tell you, everything was DELICIOUS! The veal was tender and juicy , and as my boyfriend says „phenomenal”. He will be having wet dreams about it haha. Puddings were out of this world too. Everything well and fair priced. You won’t see many tourists here as that’s where the Italians eat. Our server Jennifer was very kind, super helpful (translating to English their Italian menu) and gave us best and honest recommendations. We will be back when next time in Rome :) Grazie!

Incredible food, and authentic italian atmosphere! Further from the center noise and much cosier! Recommended if you want to experience the real thing! Also, try everything you see in the photos, you wont regret it! 😉

Went out of my way to try this restaurant based on a recommendation... potatoes were overcooked so they didn't charge me with that (the waiter apologised which is nice). But instead paid for table service (didn't even eat the bread) and one glass of water... the cod was not too bad tho, wld have been better with sauce

We went to this restaurante last time we were in Rome, and we enjoyed so much that we went as a family and the very next day we brought my sister’s family to enjoy it with us. The starters at the time were: olives à milanesa, the polenta was filled with ragu and some other entry which we just loved it. The polenta was perfect! I dream about it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The main dishes were pasta with guancialle a typical bacon from Rome region! Unbelievably delicious and unforgettable. What’s a culinary! If I am back in Rome, I would definitely come here again.

Great authentic Italian cuisine. I ordered the raviolis and my partner ordered the carbonara, both of which were outstanding. The carbonara was smooth, creamy, and perfectly crispy bits of pork. The ravioli with a red sauce had a lovely heat that built slowly to let you know it was there. The bread was also very well executed.

I never received my food after waiting 30 minutes beyond when others at the table received their dishes. This has never happened to me in my life. Waiter was largely unapologetic and unhelpful. Go somewhere else. Edit (1 star to 3 stars): After the fact, the owner was made aware of the situation and insisted the dish be made immediately for takeaway. That was a very nice thing to do. The food is delicious!

One of the best restaurants I have been to in Rome. And prices are fair! The courgette flower filled with mozzarella and anchovies is from another planet, simply amazing. But it does not matter what you order, it is made to perfection. Their menu changes every day depending on what they get, which is also great. I came to Rome for a weekend and had to come here every day. If there was one thing to criticise, their house wine wasn’t great, although not expensive at all. I’d recommend you get a bottle instead if you drink wine. And another thing is, you’ll need to reserve a table over phone as it is always full.

The food was good but the main dish, I had the tagliolini al baccala and I don't think I'll ever have a meal that delicious again 😔 but it does give me a reason to come back 😉

This place is amazingly good and very reasonably priced. I had the housemate pasta carbonara which had very crispy ham/bacon in it and it was absolutely the best. Then I had saltimbocca which I don't get to have very often and it was what legends are made of. This is a neighborhood restaurant with locals. No English menus, but everybody is very kind and some of the staff Do you speak enough to help you. I strongly recommend this be a destination restaurant if you want something typically Roman and local for a tourist visiting. It is a €20 taxi ride from city center.

Looooooved this place! 5 stars! Why?! Food is AMAZING! service is fast and very friendly- price is more than affordable. Might be a little outside the touristic center but hey that's why we need the taxi, right?! I'm posting the pics of what we've had. 2 starters- 3 main dish- small bottle of wine and of course a tiramisu to share costed only 50 euro. A must go in Rome! Enjoy...

My first 5 star review! One word: AMAZING Absolutely fracking amazing. We went here on our last night in Rome and boy do we regret not finding this gem earlier. Family style meal, very friendly staff (we came without reservation but they still managed to find us a seat). It's in Trip advisor, but two of us were the only tourists here. There was only 1 waitress that can speak some English. House wine was great (we ordered 2 bottles). The pasta was out of this world (we ordered the carbonara style and the fettuccini with sausage) and we also ordered the 3-type of meat covered in tomato sauce. Lastly we ordered desert. Every single one was great. We've been on a week tour in Italy (Rome, Florence, and Amalfi Coast) and this restaurant is definitely THE best we've had. And the best part: it's VERY affordable. 2 pasta, 1 secondi, 1 desert, 2x house wines = 33 EURO. Don't miss this restaurant! It's still open at 10PM! Parking is not easy, but it's not bad at all.

I love everything about this place. I love that my hubby called and said, "parli Ingles?" And following a resounding "No", they proceeded to somehow understand each other enough to secure us a reservation for 7 people at 8 pm. This occurred around 7:30 on the same night. When we arrived, we watched as the waitress finished filling out the menu for the evening. We also saw the cooks prepping for the night. Soon afterwards we were welcomed in and the waitress promptly brought over the menu board and translated the entire thing for us. Her name is Sandra and she was wonderful as a waitress. The food was by far the best I've had in Italy so far (for Italian style) and I live in Italy! Not only was it amazing, but receiving the bill was a shock with how low the numbers were on the bottom. There's no Coperto either. 7 people ate first and mains for less than €100. Impressive.

I was taken here by a Roman friend. All I can say is Wow! The carbonara was some of the best I had in Rome, and I do try this dish all the time. The ambiance was tastefully done, and service was attentive. I'll be going again.

If I could give 0 stars I would. We called twice for reservations and each time we were told if we arrive at 20:00 no reservation needed. We showed up at 20:00 there was no one in the restaurant and we were told we could only have the table for one hour. They were extremely rude and unwelcoming.

Last night my two daughters and I tried to have dinner at this restaurant and got turned away because we spoke English and not Italian. We were told that they didn't have a waiter on duty that spoke English, however the on duty manager brought a worker from the back to explain this to us. I told the manager this would not be a problem because we have a transition app. He rudely said, NO there is no table for us. We left feeling very disrespected. Just a hungry American family.

So this is supposed to be where the locals go.. So let's keep it this way! Very disappointing. The waitresses are very rude. We could not figure out the menu which is on a board in Italian. When we finished we asked for a taxi and the waitress wouldn't call and said she is very busy! Stay way! The food was so and so. It took us longer to get to it than we styes there.
