8/10Good ambiance, the food was fine but not spectacular. Wait staff seemed impatient and passive towards tourists.

9/10I had the best Carbonara in Italy. The Oxtail is also very nice. They recommended the wine - Tenuta, Tre Cancelli Merlot Lituo which paired perfect with the dishes! The restaurant is not along the Main Street to flag a taxi but thankfully I download the Uber apps. High recommended!

8/10Excellent food, had the amatriciana and meatballs and each was superb. Only thing that could have made it perfect was the waiter getting our orders correct!

5.5/10We made our reservation based upon reviews on the Fork. The restaurant was more touristy than we expected and was full. We ordered and the food arrived quickly, a sign that it was probably heated up and served to us. It wasn't tasty at all. We ate and left. The next morning we both had stomach problems. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

9.5/10The best food we have had on our trip! We compared to Enzo, down the block and this was FAR better and so perfectly priced! Get the focaccia with Roman bacon, the stuffed zucchini flower, oxtail ragu and the carbonara! Insanely good.

3/10Honestly the worst meal I have had in Italy. The bruschetta was tough, the carbonara was so salty, my wife had the vegetarian version which was under seasoned and tasteless while mine had far too much and I like my food salty… The staff seemed disinterested when I went inside to pay the staff member was at his seat vaping, no words just pointed to the card machine. Certainly would not recommend this place.

10/10La Gattabuia was recommended to us by a local and it do not disappoint. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere - it seemed like there were about as many locals there as there was us touristas. The service was good - very good and easy to get their attention, but as is common in Italy, they are certainly not in a rush and will leave you alone unless needed. The portions are generous and the prices are quite good for the high quality food they serve. It's about 10 -12€ for a taxi ride from the Trevi fountain area. While you are there you should definitely take some time to walk around the Trastavere neighborhood, especially if you need a taxi home because the best place to get a taxi later in the evening is at the taxi stand near Ponti Garibaldi.

9/10The food at this restaurant is authentic and amazing!! We really enjoyed the taste. It was as if we were eating at our GrandMother's house for dinner. We will return here for sure, and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authenticity! The only issues we had with the restaurant were: 1. A few flies were flying around/on our table. This is likely due to the time of year and weather. Hopefully the restaurant can ensure that the flies dont become an issue going forward. 2. The service was tough (at times) to get a hold of. With the "3 room" concept (it's actually pretty cool: like you are in a wine cellar), the wait staff are moving around from room to room. But they were very friendly and helpful!!

9/10The outside seating area is not as good as some of the other nearby restaurants, but inside it's a great restaurant with a nice atmosphere and really good food - reasonably priced and good service - would recommend

6/10The food was average quality. The menu was limited and what we ordered was good but did not meet what was written about the restaurants by other guests. Lamb chops were not good at all. Service was decent

9.5/10Amazing Italian flavor and ambience. This is a true gem hidden in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood. The Napoli pizza is a must-try! Be aware that the restaurant is mostly below street level and is easy to miss if you aren't paying attention.

4.5/10We came here following good reviews on trip advisor. As cabs pulled up with visitors, it was apparent many had the same idea. We had reservations, though they were not needed. I saw no locals here. Our less than great experience may have been due to our menu selections, as we ordered the mixed grill for two. The quantity was overwhelming, but think of it as a dried out charcoal barbecue dinner with meat and meat and meat. Just totally underwhelming and without any exceptional notes.

Hello David,your reservation was at 19:00. At this time of course you will find only foreign customers because Italians eat from 20.30 onwards. You ordered a grilled mixed meat...what did you expect to eat? Fish?
