Agustarello A Testaccio

We stopped by for lunch because it’s close to where we are staying. It’s a small restaurant and the menu has local dishes that feature organ meats. We got the artichoke hearts and bruschetta for appetizers and Rigatoni alla Carbonara, Rigatoni alla Amatriciana and Rigatoni al sugo di Coda alla Vaccinara. They were all delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned and delivered steaming hot to our table. The service was excellent and the waitress knew some English, which helped. The menus were also in English. The ox tail was tender and the gravy a luscious brown, the Carbonara had crispy pieces of “bacon” and a sumptuous egg and cheese sauce that coated the pasta, the Amatriciana was an excellent thick tomato sauce with bits of pork jowl giving it a meaty pork flavor. All were dressed with a sprinkling of Pecorino cheese. We had the house red wine which was a Merlot. Overall it was a fabulous meal and generous portions at a good price and I highly recommend it.

Visited this restaurant recently — the pasta was absolutely delicious! You can really tell it was cooked with care. The sauce was rich, and the portion was filling — I was very happy with it. Also, I calculated the calories using the service shown in the photo I attached — it turned out to be super convenient and quick! I totally recommend trying it for calorie tracking — it makes it really easy to keep an eye on your diet.

This place had two occupied tables at eight, and every table occupied at quarter past eight. We felt like we had stumbled onto a neighborhood secret. The prices seem very reasonable- and the pasta was delicious. We had the amatriciana and the oxtail. I think the oxtail could have had a wee bit more meat on the plate it tasted really good. The real highlight was the side of chicory which was definitely bitter but somehow still so moreish. The service is friendly but a bit slow- it took ages for our stir fried chicory to arrive after we had demolished our pasta. Would definitely go back. Reservations are recommended.

Good very local Roman spot for classic dishes, including plenty of offal. We tried the sausages with bacon rinds and beans which was very flavoursome. Carbonara which was okay, and mixed offal with fried onions, also flavoursome and yummy. Service was friendly and excellent. Dinner for two with 1 litre of wine and coffees was 55 euros.

That moment when a website bonus (shown in the photo) comes just at the right time. Went out for a meal — and it turned into not just dinner, but a genuinely nice evening. Great food, chill vibe, and a good mood all around.

We had a wonderful meal at this resturant. It was like we were dining in someones home. The waitresses were very friendly and gave good suggestions. Highly recommend for a good traditional Italian meal.

I wish I had photos of the food, but it was so delicious it was gone before the camera came out. The homemade sausage and meatballs may be some of the best in the city. And I highly recommend the stewed ox ṭail! The cuisine was authentic and not expensive. Get there when they open or make acl reservation as it fills up quickly.
