    The restaurant was packed when we arrived, and almost everyone there was a local. That alone told me it was a popular spot. Based on the food and service we received, I agree.

    The Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara and Matriciana pastas were amazing. It was our first restaurant while in Italy and it did not disappoint.

    This was one of the best restaurants we visited in Rome. Starting with the fantastic cocktails, then delicious cuisine and excellent service. I cannot wait to be back.

    We booked this restaurant after looking on line for somewhere near to our last tour of the day. The menu wasn’t huge - which for me indicates good quality food… we were not disappointed!! I ordered the potato & leek soup, poached egg & black cabbage, if I’m honest I was hesitant but it was delicious! I had a cheese & peppercorn pasta for main which was delicious however just a bit rich so I wasn’t able to finish my portion. My husband had fish croquet for starter & carbonara for main; he said it was gorgeous The service was attentive, professional polite & the ambience was lovely. I would highly recommend this restaurant… the prices were very reasonable for the quality!

    The food was cold. After I confronted the staff, I received a new hot plate of meat, but my side dish (potatoes) wasn't brought to me. In the end, I had hot meat but cold potatoes. I also ordered a bottle of wine, but the staff didn't refill it. They still need to improve their hospitality.

    Wonderful experience. Waitresses were all attentive with a smile. We particularly loved the fact our waitress asked our 7 year old which specific pasta he wanted. Nice wine selection. A completely memorable evening. Next time we visit Rome we will return to Il Marchese. Grazie.

    The last thing this restaurant can have is michelin star. - The service is rude, waiters are mean. That type of atmosphere doesn’t create relaxed vibe at all. - We made a reservation through the service and we were expecting to try the mains as part of the meal. However, the only thing that was available is 4 types of pasta. And yeah, I get it – there COULD be some troubles throughout the day, everything happens. BUT instead of saying sorry for that inconvenience, we just got the rude and mean service. The host lady didn’t meet us properly, just pointed with a gesture somewhere. She didn’t even explain the situation in the beginning. The only nice thing they’ve done is letting us quit without any payment for water.

    Food was ok. I think you need to know the menu. Beautiful restaurant with very nice staff. I had the octopus and my wife the veal. Neither was noteworthy. We skipped pasta. Appetizer were fried green tomatoes and mozzarella—very disappointing and I can’t even remember the other one. Cheese sucked and wasn’t fresh, portion was wretched. You can go to a pizza shop or pizza place in Rome and eat better. Hell the bar next store has better food and drink at a fraction of the cost. Would never go back.

    This restaurant cannot be recommended by Michelin. The food is average but the real problem is the service. Absolutely unacceptable. Waited so long for the orders and then started getting in reversed order plus half of the orders have been forgotten by the waitress. And we weee not the only clients with the same problem. Totally disappointed.

    Such a great find in Rome, ended up eating 3 times here during our stay and was delicious each time. The best pasta I have had in my life so was nothing sort of amazing. Great restaurant and staff
