    The couple that owns this place are absolutely lovely and do an amazing job with everything. They do everything from seating you to taking your order and cashing you out, all seamlessly and with a smile. Whoever is in the kitchen cooking is also incredible. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, decor etc. Would absolutely return on our next visit to Rome!

    We fond this place on Google. It seemed good review so we booked for dinner. It was our first dinner in Rome. Service was excellent, people were very welcoming. Very pretty restaurant, Food was just amazing. We enjoyed so much. Mixed fries ( starter for 2 people ), Oxtail in tomato sauce (main)and Tiramisu. I highly recommend these dishes Their wine list was great as well

    First time trying Amatriciana and it did not disappoint. Great flavour and plenty of guanciale. The service was attentive as well. Only reason it's not perfect was that we had to sit outside. I would've preferred inside seating but as I understood, they had it reserved for other guests. Regardless, I will come back next time for the Amatriciana.

    Fabulous restaurant. Ten days in Italy, and this was a standout restaurant. I can not recommend it more highly. Everything was great from starters to mains to dessert. We will be back.

    We had a fabulous dinner there and tried multiple items... the Frito misto, Alle gricia, Carbonara, Amitricaina, the meatballs in a mushroom sauce. All were wonderful. We also had a red and white wine as well as an aperol spritz and those were very good too. Highly recommend!!

    Our favorite meal in Rome, perhaps in all of Italy. Everything was delicious and the owner/host was wonderful, sharing with us about her mother’s recipes, all of which were fantastic. Recommend the eggplant, roasted vegetables on flatbread, cod fritters (yes, try them, I promise) and meatballs with mushrooms. The veal with ham was, in a word, stirring. Setting was so warm and even romantic, service was lovely and so very pleasant. I would recommend Il Tarallo to anyone and everyone.

    Absolutely perfect experience! Not only was the food the best we had in all 4 days we stayed in Rome, but the owner personally came by our table several times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. On top of that, the price was exceedingly reasonable, and the serving sizes generous. Make sure to ask for the homemade desserts of the day! If it's available, we particularly loved the pistacchio cream.

    We had two delicious meals at Il Tarallo during our recent trip to Rome. There are many popular restaurants to choose from in the Trastevere neighborhood, but if you are looking for a more sedate atmosphere with food that is cooked with care, you should book here.

    We had pastas: Amatriciana and Carbonara, meatballs in a white mushroom sauce and chicory. All very tasty. The wine and first course were served promptly but we waited about 40 minutes for the next course. We were seated outside in a little quiet street and enjoyed chatting with the people at the next table so the wait was pleasant. Definitely recommend
