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 • Owner
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 • Owner
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 • Owner
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 • Owner
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.

Good environment in a small valley. Historical decoration. Good quality of traditional local food. The free bread is good and diverse. A little bit expencive but worth it. 10% service fee is included.

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.

The service was not attentive. We had to call the waiter for everything including to pour the wine. The food was underwhelming. The atmosphere is wonderful though so the expectation was high.
Osteria del Pegno • Owner
Thank you for your visit, we read your review. We always try to offer a good service to customers as we always try to be able to give the same service to all customers, I do not know if you have frequented other taverns, but I can assure you that our service is good, it seems a bit pretentious your request for the pouring of wine, which requires a greater number of staff our Restaurant cannot support in function of the fact that this would weigh on your bottom line and would not allow us to offer a good service with a good price. With this I hug you tightly and God willing I greet you the owner.

The osteria was small but very cosy! I loved the tablecloths and it was kind of old-fashioned but this is what I loved about it. Great service and delicious food . It’s quite a unique place.
