Nine years had passed since our last visit to Osteria Barbarini. I had recommended it to a number of friends who would be visiting Rome. We recalled it as one of the best dining experiences in Rome. The current version has slipped a bit - it is still a good restaurant featuring a good value truffle menu - but it is not quite what it was. That said, the staff was exellent, the truffle menu very enjoyable, and the remodeled space pleasant. They have a nice wine list, however, my first four choices were not in stock. I finally asked the waiter to recommend something, which was very nice. We will likely return on a future visit to Rome.

The food was just ok, although truffle is served, it did not have a full impact on the taste of the meal. The servers were not attentive, lacks that certain concern for the customers. We asked to be moved to another table because it is too close to the door and it was a very cold night when we had the dinner. The portions of food are not filling as well as not appealing to look at. Overall, our experience is subpar to what we’ve expected to have a great experience with excellent tasting, appropriate portions of food. I will not recommend and even come back to this restaurant again.

I was at the Osteria few years ago, and it was perfect and full of people. I don’t know what happened, but today was terrible. No meat in lobster, the tagliolini not aldente, service poor. The restaurant empty of people. I will never come back

A complete tourist trap. It is a famous truffle restaurant, but their truffle had no aroma or taste at all. I honestly didn’t feel like I was eating real truffles. We ordered the sea bass carpaccio, lasagna, and risotto, all with black truffle, but every dish was bland and flavorless. We were seated in the basement with flies buzzing around, and the restroom was wet, smelly, and dirty. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Definitely not recommended.

We were initially impressed by how friendly and welcoming this Italian restaurant seemed, but our experience soon turned disappointing. When we sat down, we noticed that every printed price on our menus had been covered with handwritten labels showing higher amounts. A “specials” page listed white truffle pasta at £70 — we could see the original £40 price faintly beneath. We decided to order from the regular menu, yet even those prices were inflated. While waiting, we noticed locals nearby had menus with the original printed prices, much lower than ours. When the staff realised we’d compared menus, they awkwardly adjusted our bill to the local prices. Though we appreciated that, it left a bad taste. It’s upsetting to feel singled out and overcharged simply for being tourists. A warning to other travellers: always check menus carefully, as some places sadly take advantage of visitors’ trust.

I honestly expected a bit more from this restaurant. The food felt pretty average, and the atmosphere wasn’t very cozy. It also seemed like most of the guests were tourists, which made it feel less authentic. However, the staff was wonderful and really put in a lot of effort

Very poor service. Food is about average if not mediocre. This place used to be better; now it’s just another tourist trap. Never again…

The service was terrible, the server took our order and never came back. The food was also not good, it had no flavour and was not fully cooked.

The lasagna sauce was congealed, mostly noodles stuck together. My partner enjoyed his meal.

It was a beautiful day. We ate outside with a lovely view of the Barberini Fountain. The food was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked, but a little bland. I had the grilled chicken and my husband had the Saltinbauca. The Tiramasu was divine. Service was a little on the slow side, but good.

Perfect food and wine plus a secluded side street position . The truffle risotto and carbonara were lovely. The wine list was a little depleted but we still found a good ripasso. We would recommend it and would definitely go again

Excellent Dining Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining here ! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly cozy and inviting. It made for a truly comfortable and relaxing meal. But the real highlight was the food—it was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was expertly prepared and tasted fantastic. Our server, Gina, was an absolute professional. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made our entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable. A huge thank you to Gina for her outstanding service! I advise everyone to visit this restaurant from the bottom of my heart. It's a gem!
