This was our second visit during our stay in Trastevere this week. The restaurant offers a great combination of traditional Roman dishes at reasonable prices, professional service and lively atmosphere in the evening.

6.5/10The food was great but the service was very pushy to try to get people in and out for new years. Very pushy on asking for a tip knowing that we were American. Was also charged a 20% cover fee since it was the holiday - I understand many places could be doing the same, but transparency up front would have been appreciated.

2/10This was the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. The appetizers were served within two minutes of us ordering, but tasted ok. When we were still eating the appetizers, our main courses were served, which resulted in a rushed experience and cold dishes. I had lamb chops which were unseasoned and dry. My girlfriend had shrimp risotto which came with unpeeled shrimp with the head still on. We saw some cockroaches crawling around, when we told the waiter he said it was because the building ‘was as old as the Colosseum’ (which I very much doubt) and that it was ‘part of the experience’. Avoid this tourist trap!

9/10food is very good for a restaurant that has both eat and fish. service can be better, plus they charge service and expect a tip afterwards.

4.5/10Left really disappointed with the first night in Rome. Waiter was super deceptive about the “special platter” they had. They had about 6-8 entree/primi items on the bill that were never described at the start. By the time they “adjusted” the bill it was about $100euros less! Food otherwise was good but nothing special.

Food and service were very good. Also price is “regular”, however we ordered two glasses of red wine. Our bad that we did not ask for the wine list, so we paid 12 euros (6 each) for two glasses of an unnamed very normal wine that for an Italian trattoria Italy is a rip off

4/10The menu looked like there were flavourful pasta options, but when they arrived at the table they were disappointingly lacking in flavour. After the waiter was informed of this, we then received little if any attention. Then on the bill we were charged for 2 bottles of wine when we only accepted one bottle at our table. This was corrected though.

6.5/10A bit touristic, especially the menu and the plates but we ended up eating good. I dont recommend the wine of the house, expensive and low quality.

4/10The servant was very polite. But the food was not good at all, the meat in the pasta was not cooked enough, so the fat was very soft. And the other thing I find very disappointing was that they take 4 euro for service. And then they write on the note that tip is not included. And I paid 4 euro for a bottle of water. Then a lot af the discount is gone. Alle the other places we have eaten have taken 2,5 euro for a bottle of water. And the food is overall expensive. We where at another restaurant, where we got - like yesterday - 2 x pasta, water, a glass of of wine and a glass of of beer and that meal we paid the same for as we did for this one after the discount, but the quality was 10 times better.

3/10They tried to extort us. Gave us a bill of €118 for 1 starter, 1 pizza, 1 gnocchi, 1 fish, 2 deserts and a litre of house wine. When we complained over and over again they altered the bill 3 times before the final bill of €49. Tried to charge us €21 for house red before admitting it was only €16. 50% The Fork discount just meant over 100% markup. The fish said €7 per 100g and they tried to claim the child size portion that came out was 700 grams. When the police were mentioned they quickly reduced the bill and told us to get out. Constantly pestered us throughout the night trying to suss out where we were from. Very slow service until they wanted the table clear for new customers. The lady next to us also complained about over charging. Not going back.

Great Pasta and Bruschetta. Service was not bad but when we went to pay and they saw we had a discount they were clearly displeased. It is nicely located, a 3 min walk to the heart of trastevere

9/10It was surprisingly good! 50% of discount for the restaurant full of locals is rather surprising. The waiters were nice, the restaurant environment is good, we could have a nice talking lunch no matter that the terrace is close to the road, we could hear each other well. Prices are great, fried seafood was delicious, as well as seafood pasta. Just the bread was a little bit raw (probably, they bake it and didn't bake it well), and there were a few mussels with some sand (as if it is not the good season for them, maybe that was the problem). But anyway, our lunch was delicious with great Aperol (for the best price in Rome!) and wine. I will come back

10/10Fantastic quality authentic Roman food. Great value! Thank you to owner Christian for his chilled skills, style and warm smile for a couple of hungry and tired Australians. Sensational waitstaff with knowledgeable wine suggestions and a hilarious sense of humour. Absolutely delicious meal. Don’t miss the Scaloppine al Fungi and the Risotto with Scampi Cream including two large Scampi, beautifully cooked and presented. All Fresco dining at its very best in the heart of Travestere for people watching and a really fun time, without breaking the bank.

5/10Poor, slow service meant we had one cocktail and our first order of food then left. Despite an advance booking, given a tiny table up against a wall and behind a door.

6/10A Diminishing Experience Having lived in Rome for over a decade, I was disappointed with my recent visit to da Augustea. Once known for its authentic Roman flavors, the quality has noticeably declined. We started with fried zucchini flowers, specially prepared without anchovies for the vegetarians in our group. Unfortunately, they were excessively greasy and heavy, ranking among the worst I've had in Rome. While the pizzas were very good and the tiramisu was enjoyable, the service left much to be desired. The fish, though okay, wasn't cleaned or prepared until we specifically requested it. Overall, the experience was subpar. Additionally, I'm uncertain if I received the 40% discount advertised. Since my friends paid, I didn't have the receipt to verify this. Is there a way to obtain a copy of the receipt? I hope the management takes these points into conside

6/10It is a typical tourist restaurant for tourist, with a selection of "Roman dishes" but is is ok for a quick lunch. The quality of the dishes are not excellent but not event but.

5.5/10The food was okay. I had a nicoise salad which was served in a glass bowl as if it were a side salad (which was odd) but I was disappointed at the quality of it. The chips I ordered were however very tasty and I enjoyed them. I've not given a good rating as the service was poor. We waited over 35 minutes for our food to arrive with no updates at all during that time despite the restaurant not being at all busy. We did not feel very welcome and I wondered if it coincided with me mentioning that I had made the booking using the Fork.
