Osteria Fernanda

Our experience at this Italian fine-dining restaurant was absolutely superb! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional, making us feel right at home. The ambiance was perfect for an intimate evening, with ample space between tables ensuring a private and relaxed dining experience. We opted for the 10-course tasting menu, and each dish was a culinary masterpiece – a true journey through authentic Italian flavors with a refined touch. The quality of the ingredients and the artistry of the presentation were outstanding. Considering the exceptional quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, the price was surprisingly affordable, offering incredible value for a gastronomic experience of this caliber. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a 7-course tasting menu and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, creative and beautifully balanced. Each course felt thoughtful and precise, with outstanding ingredients and flawless execution. Every bite was full of flavour and pleasantly surprised us. The pacing of the meal was perfect, the presentation stunning, and the service attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended!

I had a lovely birthday meal that I’m going to remember for a while! We opted for the a la carte menu, and we’ve been treated with a lovely welcome from the chef with a refined selection of bites and starters that take the Italian cuisine on a spin! The burnt aubergine & pistachio pasta were an inventive twist, and the risotto was a mix of flavours that made our dinner experience very special! Lovely service and friendly staff, I can’t recommend enough!

The choice of ingredients and combinations were simply not matching. The taste was unfortunately missing despite a good team and nice atmosphere.

Very good degustation with various plates, this was the right choice. Michelin star is there and they elaborate things with all the details and right portion for a tasting. On the low side maybe some brodos/stock could be a little more condensed.

A gastronomic experience comparable to a visit to a museum, with complex and unusual pairings. Excellent service and wine selection. Pleasant music and atmosphere. Improvements in service are possible, wiping down the table and not pointing at the dishes when they are presented.

A delightful restaurant that truly deserves a Michelin star. Everything was perfect the service was excellent, and the wine selection was impressive. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

Excellent on everything! One of the best restaurants in Rome.. they deserve the Michelin and hope they will get it again! Staff were very kind and the service was outstanding! Well executed food and plating! Quality is amazing and kitchen did a great job! Nice ambiance and great for romantic night.. They are not cheap but it’s totally worth it!

a bright and cheery spot in the Porta Portese area of Rome just outside the main Trastevere neighborhood Chef Davide Del Duca will delight you with his extremely creative dishes, also his most famous dish, bucatini all'amatriciana, along with some other classic Roman specialities the whole point of coming to Fernanda is to try something new, something daring and bold No outdoor seating

This was our first tasting menu in Rome and we were delighted by the creativeness of the different dishes, over 8, in my count. There were some hits and misses for us but an overall would recommend at a solid 4.5 stars. Must try in Trastavere area.

Awesome find, away (but not far) from the touristy areas in Rome. Honestly, this deserves a Michelin star. We had the Artigiano Curioso and the dishes kept positively surprising us. Add to that the price, fairly affordable, for what we ate, and this beats many one-starred establishments I've been to. The restaurant was full for dinner service, mostly locals, and I thought this was a good sign. I read the 1-star review prior to going and thought it was a bit concerning, but my experience was the complete opposite. The lighting was perfect, service was excellent. I will definitely return and recommend it to others.

Where to begin?... This restaurant is tucked in the inlet of a congested parking lot. Once you park and have visibility to it's intimate dining room with 2 floors, a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, and sophisticated towering table lamps. Luckily, we sat on the 2nd floor away from the chatter of the floor and with closeness to the kitchen to see the executive/sous chef and a team of 3-4 stationary chefs. We reviewed the menu and decided to let the kitchen decide 4 courses for us. It is important to share we asked to be served a specific course in the presentation which they accommodated without hesitation. Their wine listing contained a great, fairly priced, quality wine; fair enough to purchase a bottle for the table without being too expensive. The photos speak for themselves: creative, multi-textured, colorful, surprising, and enticingly layered flavors that dance. A must for anyone who respects the art of culinary.

We experienced their tasting menu last night that was amazing in every way. Each serving was paired with a different wine for a fantastic experience. Hands down the best overall dining experience of our entire three country tour.

Hidden (perhaps a little too well) between the Testaccio and Trastevere areas of central Rome, this restaurant offers a creative take on roman and other italian classics. The dining room and decor are great, suggesting a welcoming and almost familial atmosphere. Service is great, with front of house staff being helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. Perhaps unusually, all staff seem to care for all tables, which makes for a collegial and familial, though a little disorganized, dining room. The tasting menus are likely the stars of the dining experience, with 6-10 course options all consisting of memorable takes on traditional dishes, the fried lamb being one of the stand out courses. Options are available for vegetarians as well, and the staff is always happy to make adjustments to accommodate diners' needs. Finally, wine recommendations by the co-owner/sommelier are also great, pairing expertly sourced italian wines with as many (or as few) of the courses as the diner desires. Definitely worth a stop.

Unpretensious and delicious. Went with my family for a tasting menu dinner in Trastevere, trying to escape the tourist crowd in the Historic Center, and was not disappointed. Without reservations, we were welcome 1h before closing time and the attention of the staff was impressive. We had the "Francesco" tasting menu, which gave us a sample of the best of Italian ingredients with a smart contemporary approach and at a very fair price. The red Primitivo wine from Puglia was a great surprise, under EUR25 and amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner any day of the week/weekend.

The chef's 16 course tasting menu is the best option. Absurdly creative and tasty creations constantly come your way. You will genuinely smile the entire time. Fun window to the kitchen to watch the flavors get whipped up.

Yes a must!!! OMG, the food the service amazing night! Thank you! They just kept bringing us food that blew my mind, dish after dish. Probably the best restaurant we ate at during our time in Rome!! Thank you!
