Pizzeria Ristoro Est! Est! Est!

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at this pizzeria in Rome, and I can honestly say it was one of the best gastronomic experiences I’ve ever had! The pizza was absolutely delicious – a perfectly crispy crust, fresh and flavorful ingredients, and amazing combinations of tastes. Beyond the incredible food, the restaurant’s atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place for a relaxing evening in the heart of Rome. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive to every detail, making us feel truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Italian pizza in a pleasant and hospitable setting. I will definitely come back with great pleasure!

This place definitely feels very authentic! Food was relatively cheap- cheaper in comparison to other places nearby. I had a rucola salmon pizza, even with tiny caviar for only 8€! Tiramisu was also quite delicious and the portion again was really big, we barely ate it as 3 people. The place is very very crowded almost at any time of the day, it is really loud and waiters even argue with each other in Italian in front of the guests- which to be honest fits the oldest pizzeria in Rome so well! I like that you can see how the pizza is made in the oven right in front of you- but it is definitely not very hygienic. Not a place for someone looking for a quiet and romantic place, but still very much worth a visit, if you look for something stereotypically Italian.

Great food, great service, great value. Sit inside to experience the real charm.

The restaurant has a classic but old-fashioned traditional atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic dinner or a family gathering. The pastas are great, and the cheese boards and charcuterie are delicious. However, the pizza was average with uncooked and wet dough. The house wine is nothing to write home about, but the service is great. The toilets need attention and cleaning.

Went twice in three days - and even ordered the same dish! The genovese pasta was delicious both times and PLEASE ask for the house wine.

This is a great authentic restaurant. Food is really good and staff are polite. It seems to be very popular with locals. They have some unusual combination of toppings on pizza and calzone but they really work well so I'd encourage anyone to try it. You won't be disappointed. Also try the apple crumble, again with a twist but a god one. The only thing that lets this place down is the cleanliness which could be better but everything else was very good.

The pasta was absolutely delicious definitely worth a visit.

I ordered the parmigiana. It was the best food I ended up eating in Italy! Would definitely come again if I had the chance.

The service here was pretty good. They speak pretty good English and are patient enough to answer any questions you might have about the menu. I was really hyped about this place because it's probably one of the only few restaurants that doesn't have servers shoving menus in your face followed by "Nihaos" and "Koniciwas" (a classic trick in the book). The pizza tasted just like one of those mini Digiorno microwavables you can get at a grocery store with some fancier toppings. The pizza was very dense and disappointing for what it cost (10 euros for one) and considering the fact that it was Italy. It's a not bad of a place to go for late night munchies, just doesn't taste that great.

I've tasted some awful pizza in my life, but to have a disgusting pizza in Rome is incredibly disappointing. This is the city of pasta and pizza for crying out load! We got to our hotel around the corner past 11pm from the airport. Tired and hungry, we went to the only place that was still open, purchases three pizzas to go. When we got back and opened the box, our jaws were hanging open. What in the effing world. The pizzas looked awful. They tasted below average. This restaurant wouldn't even use fresh mushrooms and way over salted everything. I wanted to cry because it was so awful. I definitely would not have gone here if we had any other hot food option. Just awful!!

Ok so after my 4th Italian pizzeria I can safely say ALL Italian pizza is superior to anything on Earth. It ruined how I view American pizza. American pizza is in a class of its own. This pizza's sauce & cheese ratio was perfection. The crust was airy and light not dense like American crusts. The view was great from the patio seating (even if's in a dark alley that dead ends). My wine glass was never empty and I was never left feeling asetato. Sadly I never made it inside the building, the evening was cool and fresh. If you're passing through Rome check out this hidden gem. You'll be glad you did. FYI their pizzas don't fit in carry on bags

After a full day of sightseeing, we arrived at this pizza joint with, in video-game speak, my life-force teetering on the verge of red. We were beyond hungry and eager to dive into some piping hot pies. According to Rick Steves, this place fills up. So we arrived early, put our name down for a reservation and went to stroll down via Nazionale, one of Rome's bustling but not very bucolic main streets. Given our hunger we decided to eat unfashionably early and sat down to our table at 7pm. We were the second couple to be seated and unfortunately the dark-wood paneled seating area, though comfortable and very classic, still smelled of cleaning fluid. Not pizza. Our waiter was helpful as we tackled a hefty order. The first dish arrived quickly along with my enormous carafe of red wine and a crisp mug of fresh Peroni. A silky, steamy-creamy rigatoni with egg and lardons, with fresh pasta perfectly al dente. Then came our fried artichokes, a specialty of the house, the batter was fairly tasteless and thick, but enjoyable nonetheless. The pizzas came out, we did a "fancy" Pizza con scarmoza e porchini and a not so pricey margharita pie. The cheese was nearly translucent on the margharita and the scarmoza cheese was so heavy it was almost tough to cut through. I knew this was a thicker crust pizzeria but the crust was so thick it tasted like melted cheese atop a stale raft of focaccia bread. We ate half and then felt silly. Had we really just eaten a disappointing meal in Rome? It seemed unthinkable... But we had. By the time we left the dining room was full, mostly tourists, but everyone seemed happy, our meal just left us wanting. It wasn't bad but it wasn't what I expected for a roman pizzeria!

We had to visit the restaurant based on the tripadvisor reviews and photos. We must say that it was an amazing experience and this place deserves much more than 5 stars if possible. We ate here twice during our visit to Rome and we were not disappointed both visits LOCATION The restaurant is located all the way at the end of Via Genova. Its a dead end and you cant miss it. There is seating both inside and outside. We sat outside during both visits. SERVICE The service was excellent. The waiters served our food promptly, They came and checked on us during our meal and we were never hurried or rushed out. They really wanted us to enjoy the experience. FOOD The food was amazing. We tried to order different things with each visit. We tried an appetizer, suppli, pasta, two different pizzas, and their house wine. Everything was delicious. We could not find anything wrong with this place. PRICE After visiting several restaurants during our trip to Rome, I found that this restaurant is a great value for the amount of food you get. Each visit we ordered two meals, wine, and one dessert. The cost of each visit was less than $40 euros. Depending on what you order, expect to pay between $40-$50 Euros. This included a voluntary tip. We voluntarily gave tips depending on our experience. PAYING Both times, we asked for the bill, we take the bill inside to a cashier. She rings us up and we pay. If you want to tip, hand the tip to your waiter. It a bit different here how that works. TIPS The have a restroom. They open at 7:00p, but you may get in as early as 6:30p. For outside seating, arrive no later than 8:00pm. They fill up quickly.

This place has great food. It's not a place to go to if you want seafood, chicken, meats....it has pizzas, pastas, antipastas, desserts. And it's very inexpensive. We went for dinner. The place was packed. It's on a dead end street. We ordered a half liter of wine, a bottle of water, a crostini stater (which was HUGE), a pizza and a pasta entree (which were both great), and a side of sauté spinach! Our bill........36.50 euro!!!! Order their house specialty pasta....it's phenomenal! Again, a good tasting, inexpensive restaurant with a very homey feeling.

One of the best pizzas in Rome. Quatro fomaggio pizza amazing. Service great. I think Katy went to the wrong est est est as there is another one in the same neighborhood. Make sure you go to the right one.

This place was mediocre. While I enjoyed the outside dining, the food didn't seem all that different from an Italian chain restaurant in the U.S. If you're only in Roma for a limited time, I'd suggest trying somewhere else to dine.

While this pizza place is a little off the beaten path, it provided us with a great meal. The pizza is different in that it doesn't have a traditional dry crust, nor is it thick like a Sicilian pizza. It's in between and quite delicious. My Margarita pizza had the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese, and while large in size, I finished off most of it! if you're looking for something a little different during your stay in Rome, this is a must try place that is frequented by locals!

Wow - great Italian comfort food - very pleasing to the American palate. We have had the pizza with mushrooms and sausage, simple, tasty and delivers. The fried cheese and ham is outstanding and a must try. Even the carbonara pasta is a hit for parents and kids. Gets busy, come early or make reservations

Three words to describe it-best best best. This was my first dinner ever in italy and i have to say it was fantastic. The service was great, the pizza was fast and it was really cheap. It was the best and will always be the best pizza I've ever had.

I studied in Rome, and our professor would take each of his classes to this restaurant. I found the pizza to be pretty good, so when my parents and I went to Rome, this was one of the restaurants I had to take them to. A cheap, no-frills pizza joint is what you get. Their Pizza Alla Diavola was covered with spicy meats and quite tasty. So tasty that I ate the whole thing, along with a large amount of the house wine. "Pizza of the Devil" definitely lived up to its name...needless to say, I had to find a restroom real quick!!! TMI I know, but just forewarning others not to overindulge!!!

Food was good but stay away from the house wines, red and white tasted odd and watered down. The prices here are great!

Crostini Cardinale delicious - ham, mushrooms and mozzarella. Worth a a visit to this cool neighborhood for the food. Honestly, the est est est wine which they are known for didn't do much for me, but the overall experience was enjoyable.

Delicious Pizza!!! you go here for the pizza, EAT PIZZA. It's been open since 1888 and making pizza for over a century. Go in the evening and sit outside. SO GOOD.

I cannot confirm any of the negative reviews. The place was full with locals, is located at a nice, typically Roman cul de sac, staff was super friendly and the food was nice. The pizze are of a slightly different style than what would be 'normal' in Rome but they are delicious none the less. We also tried the fried codfish and the insalata caprese as starters and both were delicious. The place is slightly unorthodox but totally recommendable.

Great pizza, done a little differently
