Trattoria Valentino

Lovely, very unassuming, local eatery, we run to by sheer luck! Delicious Roman plates and outstanding service by 2 very friendly gentelemen. Nice minimal decor and great ambiance. Wonderful experience all around!

Really excellent restaurant with a beautiful Italian atmosphere. Homemade pasta, delicious appetizers and prosecco. Pleasant and kind staff.

It is a nice traditional Italian spot. Chalk menu, classic older atmosphere. Also definitely some of the best food we had during trip. Prices are very reasonable, tasty dinner, and Wine was great. Just thought that staff could be friendlier. Felt our waiter was almost a bit annoyed when we asked some simple friendly questions about food/menu. Would still recommend as everything else was great!

This is the best restaurant in rome by far!!! Everyone must visit this place!! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent

Note: I'm a tourist, but I research/read a lot about food/different cuisines and appreciate good food. I write notes on what I intend to eat and what I've eaten. Service/staff: friendly and attentive. Asked us if we wanted our pastas staggered or if we wanted it all at once. Just treated us like any other customer. Food: delicious Roman cuisine. We tried the amatriciana, their version of alla gricia (with orange peel), cacio e pepe, and veal pan seared with ham and sage. All 4 were great dishes. This was 1 of my favorite dining experiences and foods in Rome. Amatriciana was my favorite of the 3 pasta dishes followed by the alla gricia with orange peel. Amatriciana was a pecorino, guanciale, and tomato pasta dish. You get the nutty notes from the pecorino along with acidity and richness from the guanciale with acidity from the tomato. While the alla gricia had a the same base minus the tomato, but with the addition of citrus from the orange zest. Atmosphere: down to earth and honey atmosphere If I am back in Rome in the future, I will be going here once more. Would recommend calling to make reservations. We were luckily able to get a walk in on Thursday night.

The best pasta I had on my trip to Rome. The service was also absolutely incredible and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend the meatballs and the local dishes. The house red is quite sweet which is usually not my taste but it was good. Such a great hidden gem and trustworthy spot for a good meal and good atmosphere.

A wonderful little hidden spot! This was definitely one of my favourite meals in Rome. The restaurant has lovely ambience, the food is delicious and the service is very friendly. The grilled radicchio salad was one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. 👏🏻

Amazing trattoria with high quality food and ingredients. Discovered this restaurant after testing many others with higher reviews here, but for me they have the best quality in the area. You can feel the fresh and quality ingredient in each dish and they are all cooked to perfection. I especially loved the primi. The strozzapreti with asparagus and cherry tomatoes are fantastic, with a great, strong taste and perfect texture. The whole wheat fettuccine with zucchini flowers and anchovies is unexpected: the delicacy of the courgettes is strengthen by the anchovies but not overpowered. It’s a joy. Staff is nice, quick, and precise. The atmosphere is traditional and homey. I highly recommend having dinner here and enjoying their great traditional food.

This place was recommended to me by a local. She told me that I had to try the scamorza or "grilled cheese." She said it's not seen at many places and that's it's absolutely delicious. I'll admit I thought it was going to be weird but it was so good! You should just get it plain or have it filled with something. I got the scamorza with spinach and mushrooms. Also get the carciofi alla Romana (a typical Roman dish) or artichoke boiled in mint, parsley, and garlic. I think this place did it the best I've had. It's packed with locals so I would suggest getting reservations.

Wow, the small area a few blocks from the colosseum was recommended by our tour guide, Vincenzo of livitaly, and we were grateful he did this place is so delicious.

Best authentic Italian restaurant we found in Roma. Full of locals, we had wonderful service and amazing food. Best of all - great value We went with the special of the night. Written on the chalkboard and described by the staff. We had the house wine. It was delicious. If you arrive before 8 o'clock you will get a seat.
