had one of our best meals at Il Tarallo! service was great (seemed like a wife and husband team) and very attentive. food came out quick and was delicious. we had the trippa alla romana, carbonara, and gnocchi with oxtail. everything was cooked perfectly and very tasty. seemed like an even split of locals and tourists. loved it here!

Incredible food, attentive and friendly service without being too much and a stunning little alleyway where a busker played music while we were there. I’d have no hesitation returning!

The Bread and the Mussels were excellent. The pastas, we had 3, were not al dente. They also were missing on flavor. Very disappointing. The woman who served us was great. We didn’t have the heart to complain. A friend of ours loved this place and was here 3 times and recommended we go here. Maybe we had a bad night?

Food was good but hopefully it was just an off night on the service side of the house. Meals were very slow in coming and wait staff seemed out of sorts. Service like we experienced is not consistent with the ratings on this restaurant.

gentile cliente la ringraziamo per aver apprezzato il cibo ed anche per il commento che ha fatto sul servizio dandoci il beneficio del dubbio..effettivamente abbiamo avuto un paio di problemi durante il servizio che ci hanno resi un pó ansiosi ..ci scusiamo davvero .non è la nostra normalità ed essere un pó nervosi o preoccupati di solito non rientra nel nostro modo di lavorare ma è stata una serata particolare ieri..purtroppo abbiamo avuto degli imprevisti. ci scusiamo nuovamente e cercheremo di fare sempre del nostro meglio per far sentire i nostri ospiti a loro agio come accade quasi sempre.. porgiamo cordiali saluti e speriamo possiate avere solo ottime esperienze durante il vostro soggiorno a Roma.

We love this restaurant! The two servers are also the owners and are very friendly and professional. The food is amazing, a fusion of Puglia and Rome. We especially loved the Amitriciana.

Although it was in a touristic area, it was very quiet. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice.
