    Food and atmosphere here were restaurant highlights of our trip. All dishes were excellent and the ricotta/marmalade tart/pie phenomenal. While they greeted some returning clients with warmth, I found the service very curt and unwelcoming but—again—the food delicious.

    Unfortunate experience. Booked online and received confirmation. Arrived to be met by very grumpy owner (?) who hadn’t got my name on his list and constantly repeated in Italian that the internet didn’t work? I was still smiling at this point so asked if there was a table for us. There was a table of 6 seated and eating but all other tables were free. He begrudgingly offered us a small table right by the kitchen and practically threw the menus at us. As there were several other free tables for 2 we asked if we might have an alternative- not possible said “mine host”- so we left. Cannot review food as we didn’t have any !

    I read your review carefully. I'll start by saying that in central Rome, internet connections aren't very modern, and there are often problems with reception. So, as in your case, your reservation didn't reach us as you say. We tried to find you a table right away, but the only one we had was in front of the oven, not the kitchen. So, your first inaccuracy. On the website, we show table availability, but we don't give you a choice of tables. So, given that, we acted correctly. The other tables you saw free were all reserved by customers who actually came before you, so your second inaccuracy about what happened. I've never had a rude attitude toward you, and the fact that I found you a table proves it. Your third inaccuracy is that you were never given menus, as you claim. Your fourth inaccuracy. So, Madam, I assume your review is either fake or you've chosen the wrong restaurant. I hereby send you a big hug and, God willing, a BEST WISH.

    Had a lovely meal, service was great, the food was outstanding and they have a lovely wine list. We don’t live in Rome, but we will go there again when we next go to Rome. All very good value too.

    Loved the cozy, charming ambiance and the simply, traditionally, but flawlessly prepared food (particularly the perfectly executed and delicious carbonara), but what really differentiated the experience for us, and brought us back for 2 of our 6 dinners in Rome, was the warm and gracious service. This was a refreshing spot in a sea of tourist-oriented restaurants - clearly a spot frequented locals. We loved it - thank you Osteria del Pegno!

    Overall the food was very good. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana - it was delicious but cold in the middle. The rest of the meal was very good. Service was very good. Not a lot of wine options to chose from though.

    Osteria del Pegno

    Thank you for your visit! I'm sorry that your dish was cold, but next time please let the staff know and they will change your dish promptly. However, dear madam, regarding the wines... not much choice? We have over 300 references!!!!! Perhaps you didn't read the menu!!!! I hope to see you again so I can also recommend a good wine to pair with your dish. A big hug and, God willing, goodbye.

    It was charming and old school. No frills restaurant with delicious food. It wasn't a scene, like so many other restaurants in Rome. The food delicious, the servers kind and the space absolutely perfect.

    We have been here many times before. The pesto with carmelized tomatoes looked good, but was way too sweet. I know things get sweet when you carmelize them, but this was almost like they added sugar. We could not finish it.

    Osteria del Pegno

    Thank you for your visit. I read your review and you didn't like a dish. In such cases, sir, we always recommend that you report it. The staff is always available to let you know, and we always find a solution, even by changing the dish itself. We can't understand your problem. Since you continued to eat the dish you described, we're sorry you didn't like it, but we can't understand your behavior in this regard. We hope to see you again, and with this, I send you a big hug and, God willing, farewell.

    Very average everything

    Osteria del Pegno

    Thank you for your visit, but I read your review, but honestly I don't understand what it means on average a review should be detailed.... However, I can tell you that beyond everything else, I have been running this business for about thirty years, our customers always reward us by coming to visit us. With this, I send you a big hug and God willing, I say goodbye.

    The service was amazing. The food was good, but higher priced relative to similar food outside the centro storico.

    Osteria del Pegno

    Thank you for your visit, and thank you for your praise for both the food and the service. Regarding the price, I'd like to point out one thing. Unfortunately, in the historic center, there are many businesses that don't use high-quality products... Everyone can do what they want. I've been trying to offer quality for thirty years, and I can assure you that quality comes at a slightly higher cost, and there's always a reason why our customers have been coming to us for thirty years. If you're looking for something cheaper, the center is full of touristy places... I always try not to offer something touristy, but something real. With this, I send you a big hug and, God willing, farewell.

    This was a lovely dining experience. Massimo took care of everyone and made wonderful suggestions. It’s not everyday when in Italy you go into a restaurant and see the pride that is put into making you feel you are the one that matters! The ambience was beautiful, fresh flowers, linen cloths, low lighting. It was a very romantic setting. Of course not to mention the food was delightful. I wish I would have found this place first, as I would have eaten here again. I will return!

    This is the second time we have dined here. It was so good two years ago that we came back with extended family. It did not disappoint and our family memory agreed that it was our favorite dining experience of our 10 day trip. Thank you and we can’t wait to visit again someday soon!

    Firstly the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed which after a long day in the city is worlds apart. The staff were very attentive to all customers, many language (French and English) barriers but treated with the same care. Topped off with more than fair pricing to round off the experience. Arrivederci.
