I had mixed feelings about the restaurant before making this reservation but after dining at Osteria Barberini I was very impressed with the food, service and hospitality there. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for good food and service.

Booked a table for two and arrived early, first impression was walls full of glowing reviews so expectations were high. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to it. Service was painfully slow just to receive menus and place an order. We started with one dish planning to add more, but when our saffron risotto arrived, a staff female member possibly the owner publicly scolded us for ordering only one plate while pointing out a queue of waiting customers. Unprofessional and uncomfortable! The real issue came with the food, saffron risotto topped with truffle shavings that also included several ants and insects, more than just a stray one. When we raised it, the waiter shrugged it off saying it is possible as if contamination were normal. This points to improper handling of fungal products like truffles and raises serious hygiene and food safety concerns including potential contamination risks. We returned the dish, asked about payment, were told it was not necessary and left.

One thing that we have comment on a highly positive note, the bread basket -and especially the olive oil!- were fantastic! Husbands first course, vegetarian w cheese, was very good. My first course, beef tartar, was disappointing. The dish was very big and completely over powered by the strong mustard sauce. Especially when I had the delicate truffle in it. Our main courses were both good, but the truffle was again lost in husband’s dish. But all in all, it was a very nice experience, staff was very friendly, we got Champagne by glass 😍, and food was good.

The cameriera was patient and helpful with suggestions, She made us feel welcome and offered us extend time to enjoy our wonderful meal, her suggested wine and desert. She was a delight as well. The house specials were our delicious choice for this evening with a very satisfying complimentary Lemoncello when we were through. We will make Osteria Barberini one our top five osterias when in Rome. Can't wait to come back!

Our third visit, the filet with black truffles was amazing. The service is first rate.

The food was decent, but the prices were far too high. €35 for a truffle pasta felt excessive -it was the most expensive meal I've had so far. The staff were not particularly friendly and came across as somewhat pushy. It also seemed like whether or not you speak Italian made a noticeable difference in the

Truffle is expensive and not very tasty.

The service was ok. The dishes where very expensive for roman standards. The food was blend and the truffle is the cheapest truffle there is. Also no flavour. I send the risotto back. And they offered me an other dish, but is was blend as well and also the pasta was not even al dente but i think a 5 min cook. No there are a lot better restaurants, with better service, food and ambiance , and for far less money

To be honest, I was in love with this place for many years. But this time, something dramatically changed in everything. I have to say beef tartare is still great, but all other dishes changed in appearance and also in taste which is really sad and then comes the price which is on the level of really expensive restaurants in Rome, mostly located in 5 star luxury hotels. Staff looks really tired and maybe from this comes lack of simple service, I know it is Italy and I do not expect super service, but bringing different style glasses for same wine, when bottle is 150euro, forgetting to bring water to the table and in the end reminding me that service is not included …. Overall, sadly, became not worth it, for this price tag, you can go any place and have better service, better food and better atmosphere … Hopefully owner reads and will change something
