We have eaten all over Rome and Il Ritrovo is one of our favorite places. It is not in the tourist areas but is easily accessible by bus & Metro, a short walk from San Giovanni. The atmosphere is purposely home-like, the owner couple are present and involved--one of them remembered where we sat two years ago! The menu is varied and includes wonderful fish wrapped in sliced potato dishes. Our party had all age ranges and we all loved it. The prices are very reasonable (a benefit of not being in the tourist areas) and if you book with The Fork, at 20% discount is automatically applied. They do not serve lunch but open early enough for American preferences. A top notch place that I give five stars!

This is a nice place in a residential area, so not a tourist trap. The food is fine. There is the local Roman feel and ambience.

We ate dinner last night at this small, family owned restaurant off the beaten path. It had high reviews and accepted a reservation for 8. It was busy, but all locals from that neighborhood. Only 1 server spoke broken English. We all had a different pasta dish that was incredible. Service was insanely good, even by American standards. We drank all the wine we could drink. Probably 10 bottles total between 8 of us. The entire bill: €20 per person. You can’t eat at Applebees for that. What a treat!

The restaurant is placed not in touristic area, and it brings you a real Italian experience. We enjoyed the true Italian atmosphere: all the guests except us were locals. Pasta, tiramisu, and white wine were delicious and flavorful. Additional thanks to the

We discovered this fantastic authentic Italian restaurant was just around the corner from our hotel; what a gem - delicious food, lovely ambiance, friendly staff, great value. We spent two nights in Rome, and had our evening meals here on both nights. Buzzing with locals who are so lucky to have this gem on their doorstep

visiting from the UK I found Il Ritrovo to be an excellent restaurant. the food was genuinely excellent, well priced and the service genuinely excellent. we visited three times in our stay. 1 mistake was made with a meal, once this was identified the meal was replaced and a discount give excellent service. The Mario's seafood pasta was superb!
