Supergod food, friendly and helpful staff
VirginiaeThank you so much, Anki. If the food was “super good” and the staff both friendly and helpful, vuol dire che l’esperienza è arrivata esattamente come la progettiamo: cucina solida, servizio presente e umano, zero rigidità. Commenti come il tuo pesano davvero nel modo in cui portiamo avanti il lavoro in sala e in cucina. We’d be very happy to welcome you back to Virginiae on your next trip to Rome.

We waited 25 minutes at the table for the waiter, and were put off several times. Then we left

Went for Easter with a party of 8. The service was great and the food was delicious! One my favorite meals while in Rome for a week during Easter.
VirginiaeThank you so much, Erika. We’re really happy to know that, during a whole week in Rome over Easter, one of your favourite meals was with us — especially with a large table of eight. Hearing that both the service and the food hit the mark on such an important occasion means a lot to the whole team. We’d be delighted to welcome you back to Virginiae on your next trip to Rome, holiday or not.

Great food, nice service with the Italian charming servant and fabric napkins! Good basic ingrediants. Every time in Rome, I will go back.
VirginiaeThank you for your lovely words. We’re delighted that you appreciated both the food and the service — and we especially like that you noticed the details, like the fabric napkins. Small touches are part of creating a complete experience. “Good basic ingredients” is exactly where everything starts for us. When the foundation is right, everything else can follow naturally. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back every time you’re in Rome. 🍝🍷✨

Food just spectacular. The service was right on point, attentive and knowledgeable. Silvano made our celebration evening memorable with his wonderful personality. Don’t skip this place, the food will NOT disappoint.
VirginiaeThank you for such an incredible review. We’re truly delighted that you found the food spectacular — that’s exactly what we strive for with every dish that leaves the kitchen. It’s also wonderful to hear that the service was attentive and knowledgeable. Silvano will be especially happy to know he helped make your celebration evening memorable. Creating special moments is what hospitality is all about. We hope to welcome you back to Virginiae very soon for another unforgettable evening in Rome. 🍝🍷✨

Food good - veal could have been more tender. Good wine list. Friendly staff, but lacked attention, no checking that everything was OK during meal. Not sure what the cover charge covers - no breadsticks etc. Three courses with water and wine for two came to €134; seemed reasonable but perhaps a bit more than expected.
VirginiaeThank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and wine list. We’ll share your note about the veal with the kitchen to ensure perfect tenderness. Regarding service, we aim to be attentive without intrusive, but we appreciate your comment about checking in during the meal. The cover charge includes table service and bread service. We hope to welcome you again soon for an even better experience. 🍷🍝✨

Delicious Italian food in this small atmosféric restaurant. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty.

The space is unique relative to other spots we visited in Rome. We sat on the 2nd floor which was a brilliant use of a small space. Staff is warm and friendly. The food is delicious. Definitely make a reservation. It's a busy restaurant, but not loud or crowded. They take their time with service and meal design. It's an experience!
VirginiaeThank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted that you appreciated the uniqueness of our space and the second-floor seating — making the most of the historic layout is something we care deeply about. It’s wonderful to know you felt the warmth of our team and enjoyed both the food and the relaxed rhythm of the service. Creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere even when the restaurant is busy is exactly the experience we aim to offer. We’re truly glad it came through and that the evening felt like more than just a meal. We look forward to welcoming you back to Virginiae — reservation already in mind 😉

We loved it so much we went back twice to Virginiae while in Rome for two weeks. We had Christmas Eve dinner and had our last dinner in Rome there. Silvano was a cordial, lovely, funny and attentive waiter. All the staff was superb. Food was great (especially the white bean crostini) and the atmosphere quaint. The restaurant was tucked away from the tourists and no red checked table cloths. If we go back to Rome, Virginiae will be on the calendar.
VirginiaeThank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a wonderful review. Knowing that you chose Virginiae not just once, but twice — for such special moments as Christmas Eve dinner and your last evening in Rome — truly means a lot to us. We’re delighted that Silvano and the whole team helped make your experience memorable with warmth, care and a bit of good humor. Your appreciation for the food, especially the white bean crostini, and for the intimate, authentic atmosphere away from the tourist crowds, is exactly the spirit we strive to create every day. It was a pleasure having you with us, and if Rome brings you back again, we’ll be ready to welcome you — calendar already marked 🍷✨

We had overall good experience. Except for one dish , which we had to return to the chef. Everything else was tasty.

Silvano was incredible. So attentive, and yet invisible. Wonderful experience, delicious food, impeccable service. A Christmas Eve night to remember.
VirginiaeThank you for sharing such a beautiful memory with us. We’re delighted to know that your Christmas Eve at Virginiae was truly special. Silvano will be deeply touched by your words — his attentive yet discreet service is something we’re very proud of. Knowing that the food, service, and atmosphere all came together to create an unforgettable evening means a great deal to us. We look forward to welcoming you back again, hopefully for many more moments worth remembering.

We have been to this restaurant many times, but after this experience, we will not return. Initially I asked my waiter what would be the best lamb dish and he told me the roast lamb and potatoes which I ordered. It arrived cold and I asked to send it back and be reheated. The dish itself was bland and had absolutely no meat on it. A total waste of money. Then, we could not get the waiters to come near us again. No one asked us if we wanted anything else . They all were busy setting up for the incoming patrons. We were finally able to get someone to come to us and bring us our check. No apologies were offered. All in all, a very disappointing last night in Rome.

Amazing!
VirginiaeGrazie mille!

Second time here for dinner in as many recent trips to Rome. Would not miss it. Whether outside on a pleasant or inside and cozy on a colder one, never disappointments, always excellent. This time we shared the velvety cacio e pepe Roman pasta and each had our own melt in the mouth veal osso buco with mushrooms. Shejan was again our server and again was friendly, helpful and efficient. Until next time!
VirginiaeThank you so much for coming back to visit us — it truly means a lot! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that Virginiae has become a fixed stop during your trips to Rome. Whether outdoors on a warm evening or cozy inside, we love making you feel at home. We’re happy you enjoyed the cacio e pepe and the veal osso buco — two dishes we prepare with great care and pride. A special thank-you from Shejan as well! He’s thrilled to know he helped make your evening even better. We can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in Rome.

The poor service and the lack of customary offerings marred the experience. When we sat down, the server asked if we wanted natural or sparkling. Although we specified sparkling and he echoed our request, he served natural and only recognized the error when we brought it to his attention. He then left our glasses full with natural water. Several patrons who arrived after us were served well before us. When our order finally arrived, the carbonara dish was almost cold. When we brought that to his attention, he merely changed the serving plate and not the temperature of the serving. Throughout he never refilled our water or wine glasses. When he presented the bill, he had the audacity to ask for a tip. Uncustomarily, the coperto did not include any bread nor did it include limoncello at meal’s end. The mark up on the wine exceeded 3X and the offerings are skewed—either lower end or upper end with essentially no graduated offerings in the middle. The chairs are uncomfortable.

Amazing meal…. Food was great and the vibes were perfect for an evening with your loved one and the area is just beautiful

We found this lovely restaurant 10 years ago and we very pleased to see it was still open. We loved it then and still loved it today. The food is delicious. The service is fantastic. Our server Hema was very friendly and provided great advice on our meals. I hope it is still open Years from now. I would highly recommend to give this restaurant a try.

TThe food at Victoriae was amazing! We had the oxtail, chicken, and fennel salad — all delicious, with rich flavors and beautiful presentation. Our waiter chose a great wine that paired perfectly with our meal. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic — a great find just steps from Piazza Navona. I’d definitely come back for dinner!
VirginiaeHi Chorlette, thank you for the 10/10 and the lovely words! Thrilled you enjoyed the oxtail, chicken, and fennel salad — and that the wine pairing hit the mark.

We’ll share your compliments with the team — and with our longtime waiter Silvano, too.

Great restaurant as usual
VirginiaeHi Alfonso, thank you for the 10/10 — and for the “as usual”! Delighted to be your go-to in Rome. Ristorante Virginiae is a traditional Roman trattoria tucked away on Via di Parione, just steps from Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante, where we serve cucina tradizionale and fresh pasta in a cosy setting. Next time, let us spoil you with Ravioli ricotta e spinaci, Abbacchio al forno, and our house Tiramisù. See you soon in the heart of Rome!

While our server was very pleasant, overall service was very slow. Plus my entree was warm, not hot. The server offered to replace it but it took so long to get that I decided to just eat the entree I received.
VirginiaeHi Judy, thank you for sharing this and for dining at Ristorante Virginiae, our traditional Roman trattoria on Via di Parione in the historic center near Piazza Navona. I’m truly sorry for the slow service and that your entrée arrived warm—we should have moved faster, especially after offering a replacement. Your note helps us improve: we’re reviewing pacing between kitchen and dining room (fire times, pass checks, and hot-plate control) to make sure dishes reach the table hot and on time. Thank you as well for the kind words about the team—Silvano and everyone in the dining room appreciate it. If you’re open to it, please write us at info@ristorantevirginiae.it with date/time and the dish ordered so we can look into the shift and follow up. We’d love the chance to welcome you back for a smoother experience—perhaps our oven-hot Lasagna, Saltimbocca alla Romana, and a spoon of Tiramisù to finish. — Bernardo & Daniel – Owners

My husband & I shared the fried zucchini flower with cheese and anchovy for appetizer as well as their delicious pasta gricia. He had the trippa alla Romana which he said was probably the best he’s ever had. I had the oxtail Roman style which was falling off the bone. We also had a tiramisu and a bottle of Chianti, both we thoroughly enjoyed. We would love to go back again before we leave Rome.
VirginiaeHi Maria, thank you for the 10/10 and the wonderful review! Thrilled you loved the fried zucchini flower with anchovy & cheese, the pasta Gricia, the Trippa alla Romana (“probably the best!” 🙌) and the oxtail Roman style, plus Tiramisù and a lovely Chianti. We’re a traditional Roman trattoria tucked away on Via di Parione, in the historic center of Rome just steps from Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante—perfect for real cucina tradizionale. If you make it back before leaving Rome, let us cook you Carbonara or Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, then Saltimbocca alla Romana—and we’ll happily pour a pairing to match. Can’t wait to welcome you back for dinner! — Bernardo & Daniel – Owners

My husband is gluten free and was catered for. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was good - busy but not too busy. The staff were friendly too
VirginiaeHi Rachel, thank you for the lovely note and for dining at Ristorante Virginiae! We’re glad your husband felt well catered for (gluten-free) and that you enjoyed the busy-but-cosy atmosphere and friendly team — Silvano sends his thanks too. We keep a careful GF workflow in the kitchen and always have gluten-free pasta available; just let your server know. Next time, we’d love to cook Amatriciana on gluten-free pasta, Pollo alla Romana con peperoni, and finish with our Panna cotta. We’re a traditional Roman trattoria tucked away on Via di Parione, in the historic center of Rome near Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante — perfect for real cucina tradizionale. — Bernardo & Daniel – Owners

Both of my sons had eaten here while on vacation in past years and when they knew I was in Rome sent me all the information I needed to find this place, what to order and even how to pronounce it! I ordered the Cacio e Pepe and tiramisu for dessert and was not disappointed. While the service was slow our waiter was jovial and pleasant.
