10/10Second 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!
Virginiae • Owner
Thank 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.

5.5/10The 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.

Virginiae • Owner
Hi Ruben, thank you so much for the 10/10 and for the kind words! We’re glad the vibes were perfect for an evening with your loved one at Ristorante Virginiae, a traditional Roman trattoria tucked away on Via di Parione in the historic center of Rome, just by Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante. Next time, we’d love to cook you more Roman classics — Carbonara or Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, then Saltimbocca — and finish with our house Tiramisù. Can’t wait to welcome you back! — Bernardo & Daniel – Owners

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!
Virginiae • Owner
Hi 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’re a traditional Roman trattoria tucked away on Via di Parione, just steps from Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante, where we focus on rich flavors and warm, authentic hospitality. We’ll share your compliments with the team — and with our longtime waiter Silvano, too. Next time, let us cook you some Roman icons: Carbonara or Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, then Saltimbocca, and finish with our house Tiramisù. Can’t wait to welcome you back for dinner! — Bernardo & Daniel – Owners

Virginiae • Owner
Hi 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.

6.5/10While 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.
Virginiae • Owner
Hi 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.
Virginiae • Owner
Hi 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

10/10My 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
Virginiae • Owner
Hi 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.

I booked this place for my birthday as the reviews looked great...and well, they were right. Lovely staff and excellent food. For a place so near Piazza Navona it was very well priced. They even brought a tirimasu either a candle! Highly recommend this place.

Whenever we come to Rome, we come to Virginiae. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Virginiae is where you need to be. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting from the time you walk in, with a perfect blend of charm and modern elegance. They have two floors of seating inside and as well as “al fresco” dining. We were remembered by Silvano, who is the consummate waiter. We ordered a Pinot Grigio from the Friuli region, whose bouquet was marked by an impressive fruitiness. (It was a great choice.) We decided to split the homemade Ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese in a butter and sage sauce. The butter and sage sauce was so delicate. Then we shared an order of grilled lamb rib with roasted potatoes. Every dish was crafted with care and packed with flavor from the first bite to the last. The plating was just as impressive as the taste. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. Thank you for a memorable dining experience!

10/10First of all, from the moment we crossed the threshold of the restaurant, we were surrounded by the friendly care of the waiters, who told us about the menu and recommended several dishes. The service was helpful but not intrusive, and we really felt that they genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best possible time in the restaurant. During our stay, one waiter in particular deserves a special mention - Hemal, who really took care of us. The food was delicious, some of the best we had in Rome. The restaurant also offers excellent wines. Above all, it offers a wonderful time: you can relax and enjoy fantastic food in peace. Fortunately, there are no numerous TikTok and Instagram influencers here, as there are, for example, in the overrated Osteria da Fortunata (one of the worst restaurant experiences we had in Rome). So, I can highly recommend Virginiae. Ps. The owner is really cool, we've talked with him a little.

10/10The food was great and the service was top notch!! We loved our two waiters. I wish I remembered their names. One of them use to work for KLM airlines and I *think* our other waiter’s name started with “Fer”. They both were amazing and the ambience was so nice. We will be back!!

10/10We had prosciutto and melon, lasagna, spaghetti with Ragu, and Pollo Roman Style - they were incredible. All 3 of us walked away with an incredible impression - we might drop tomorrow's reservations at a different restaurant just to come back here for round two.

7/10A bit disappointed. We went for donner 8pm and they didn' t have all the roman signature meals in the Menu: no artichoke, no lamb. That was a pity because the meals we tasted were good and the Restaurant was nice and not too Noisy. kind staff.

The food was absolutely incredible. We got the cacio e pepe and the lasagna, and both were absolutely fantastic. They were so accommodating and took us a hour before our reservation, and the little street it’s on is so beautiful, with live music and fantastic people watching. We’re telling all of our friends to go here!
