The day was sunny and beautiful in early November. We happened upon this lovely small restaurant near the Trevi, but far enough away to avoid the big crowds. We wanted to sit outside. The staff advised us the wait would be about 10 minutes. The next thing we know, they are moving 2 small tables from inside the restaurant to the outside along with the other tables and we were sat almost immediately! Very accommodating! Grazie! The four of us ordered cocktails, 2 pizzas and 4 suppli! Everything was perfect! We recommend L'Archetto for a wonderful outdoor dining experience. I'm sure the inside is nice as well!!! Grazie Mille!!!
Delicious food and lovely service. Prices were very reasonable. Advise making a reservation via The Fork. Important: CASH ONLY!!
Finally getting around to posting a review for one of our favourite super informal pasta restaurants close to Trevi Fountain. It is slightly strange to eat in a lane with cars passing by your chair, but this type of restaurant is typical of old Rome. Our family makes a point of dining here each trip to Rome, at least once, as the pasta is pretty good and they can accommodate a large group if you call ahead - we are often 12-14. Cacio e Pepe, spaghetti bolognese, saltimbocca, pizza - all good. Like many places in Italy the service is hit and miss, we've had both good and fair experiences here, but this is not fine dining. The food will not disappoint.
Fantastic food and ambiance. Great service and food had such good flavors. Strongly recommend
My mom and I stopped here on our last day in Rome for lunch. We sat outside and the waiter was super nice and quick. I ordered the Bolognese and my mom ordered the carbonara. Both were tasty and fresh. We also ordered a dessert, (don't remember what it was), but I remember it being tasty as well. Tucked away in an alley on the way to the Trevi fountain, this place is definitely somewhere that I would eat at again when I'm in Rome again.
Been coming here for many, many years, easily one of my favourite restaurants in Rome. The first place I remember sampling amatriciana and a reason I quickly loved that style of pasta. The food is very good. Get the tris triple pasta for maximum sampling. Wide selection. Good portions. Very, very tasty. Pizza and spaghettis very on point and a highlight. A fine place for larger groups. The only reason it doesn't rank higher is because the service is surprisingly slow. Have also heard mixed things about some servers "accidentally" mixing up bills, so always double check your receipts.
