Osteria Flaminio

We stumbled upon this place a week ago. It is cozy and the staff are super friendly. We had a delicious meal paired with a nice white wine and finished with tasty desserts. We are returning tonight for dinner with friends!

This is a great place if you’re looking for authentic Italian food. The people are wonderful. The food is incredible. The Italian carbonara you are chasing is here. But what’s better is the oxtail stew pasta! Do it. Also the tuna starter is great. It’s all great. Please visit if you’re even close enough.

I went here on my first night in Rome. As a Brit (notoriously reserved), I sometimes get a little shy, especially because I don't speak Italian. Well of course, I needn't have worried. The staff were wonderful and spoke some English, which was really useful (I'm just sorry I couldn't speak any Italian). The food was delicious as well: I ordered carbonara and had a glass of red wine that I asked the server to choose for me! Fantastico!

The seafood here was truly exceptional, but sadly, our experience was overshadowed by poor service. From the moment we arrived, we felt rushed and disregarded. Despite being waited before another family, they were warmly greeted and shown to their table first, while we were left waiting. It was frustrating and uncomfortable. As this was both our first visit to Rome and the first restaurant we chose to try, it left a sour taste that lingered long after. We were hoping for a warm, welcoming introduction to the city's dining scene, but unfortunately, this visit didn’t reflect that at all.

A wonderful restaurant! The food is very tasty, the staff is friendly and attentive. Everything is very tasty! We accidentally went in for dinner and came back the next day! And we will definitely return when we arrive in Rome!

A hidden gem in Rome! We were well treated by the sweetest hostess and her colleagues and after a hard choice between many delicious dishes we had the best Carbonara ever. Add to this a great selection of wine and very reasonable prices and we have a place to return to!

I hesitate to write a review lest the social media hordes discover the place and descend upon it, but Osteria Flaminio deserves some accolades. This was our favorite meal in Italy this trip, which included risotto in Milano, lasagne and tagliatelle al ragu in Bologna, and pizza and seafood in Napoli. We had two appetizers, two primi, and a total of three glasses of wine for less than 80E. Portions were generous- both of us were famished when we walked in but we couldn’t quite finish everything. Service was warm and attentive but not overly solicitous. The servers spoke some English and they had a QR code for an English menu if you need one. Try the squash blossom appetizer! Also, amatriciana is one of my all time favorite dishes, and theirs was the best one I’ve ever had. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Could not have been any more happy and impressed with our experience at Osteria Flaminio. Firstly, the service was of a very high standard. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome from the beginning. Our table ordered 2 x pasta alla gricia, 2 x carbonara and polpetti. They did not disappoint. We all enjoyed our meal and beautiful bottle of pinot Nero and will now leave Roma with a smile and this place in the back of our minds. Thanks again everybody at Osteria Flaminio, it was a pleasure!

The Tuna Steak was amazing!! So flavorful and tender. The other three dishes were good, but lacked a little flavor (that being said we all over season / flavor our food when we cook for ourselves). It was very fresh. Menu was in English and there was only a very minor language barrier. When I checked in I received a 5% discount. The main gentlemen seemed unaware and was skeptical but he supported it after talking through it with me. After he brought out a free dessert for our table and I left him a 10 Euro tip on our 116 Euro meal. Great decor and ambiance. Highly recommend!!

Insanely delicious meal prepared by a former Michelin star restaurant chef who enjoys the less stressful Osteria life. Located just, but safely outside the swirling madness and mess hall slop restaurants of the tourist areas, the staff and owners are wonderfully friendly, cheerful and hospitable! Every dish was sensational and did not overwhelm or underperform against any of the other dishes. Each dish had its own distinct flavors and appeal. That said, the Cacio e Pepe was sensational!

This is an amazing food experience. Stop there because it was a local restaurant nearby. The staff was amazing, although they don't speak a whole lot of English. They made great food recommendations, and wine pairings. The owner was warm and welcoming, the ambience was incredible. The restaurant was mostly Roman families with few tourists, which tells you about the food quality. Strongly recommend.

True best Italian food ever!! An amazing experience with good wine and great food! We came for a quick dinner and it was an excellent experience !

We went to see the fantastically assertive , confidently voluptuous work by the late great Dame Zaha Hadid-- Roma's new museum (called MAXXI) nearby and in this considerably outskirt-ish area of the city (vis a vis Pantheon / Navona/ the Vatican/ et al) and having worked up a nice appetite gaping and aweing at art and the sweeping architecture, yelp, upon queuing 'homemade pasta' in search led us, thankfully, to this osteria. Being Friday in a predominantly catholic city, they were featuring an all seafood buffet- not the cheap Golden Corral types in the states but quality prepared , fresh seafood: large prawns, stewed octopus tails and another 20 others including roasted verdure, two types of pasta, roasted salmon and white fish , 3 types of deep fried whole fish, etc. We were the only tourists seemingly as everyone else were conversing w/ owners and servers and hosts. Our waitress was helpful and friendly and welcoming. A nice break from the tourist epi-center... if in the area to visit MAXXI and while the museum has an oh so cool cafe..., recover and refuel, instead, here!

Had a wonderful meal here for a decent price...bread, water, wine, antipasti, primi and dessert for €35. The food was delicious and freshly made, the staff was very kind. They also have free wifi just ask for the password! I would definitely dine here again, a nice local spot.

My family and I are staying in an apartment in the neighborhood, and our host suggested this local restaurant. Our waitress spoke very little English, but we spoke just enough Italian to laugh and giggle throughout the night. Our waitress was superb, and very professional. The food was outstanding, and deliciously layered. We enjoyed several bottles of wine, antipasti, dinners and deserts for 5, and spent under 200 euro. It has been the measuring stick we've used to judge other locally prepared foods.

Cute. small. trendy. Good pasta. Perfect for date night. Nice staff. Some speak a little English. Know your Italian!
