Antica Hostaria Romanesca - Roma

One of two restaurants we ate at in this piazza. Neither one was worth it. We had caprese salad, Tonnarelli seafood pasta, spaghetti with meatballs, tiramisu and house white wine. The seafood pasta was terrible, very fishy tasting and tonnarelli pasta is very think spaghetti. The tiramisu was good but not great.

Another random restaurant we happened upon while visiting the Campo de' Fiori market. We sat outside and had a great view of the marketplace. The service was good. Food was good to very good: Pasta Bolognese 4/5: simple dish that just works. Pretty big portion with a good meat sauce. Pasta Carbonara 3/5: traditional carbonara but too salty. Pizza Frutti di Mare 4/5: love that the clams and mussels are still in their shells. You can taste the juices from the shellfish in the pizza, yummy!

The food was amazing! The service was great, and waiter was flexible about everything even last minute orders. All staff were friendly and helpful. The ambiance was great and the outside had a lot of light and warmth even late at night! Make a plan to stop by if you're in the area!

Recommended from our bnb host. One of the many restaurants found in the Campo di Fiore are, and one of the best IMO. They offer outdoor seating, to enjoy a bit of people watching and the beautiful rustic buildings that surrounds the plaza. Menu includes Italian favorites like pasta, pizzas and variety of appetizers, as well as some American favorites that cater to a tourist clientele. The bread is very good, might be freshly backed, which makes all the difference in the world. They also have a variety of beers, cocktails and of course wine. I had their cheese board and meats as an appetizer, very delicious and the bread was great as I mentioned before. Followed by Carbonara, one of my favorite Italian dishes, I would give it a 8 out of 10. Also recommend a cocktail by the name of The Godfather , think of it as an Italian Old Fashioned. The service is a hit or miss. I 've been a total of 3 times to this place and I could say that its not consistent. It 's either really good service, or just ok. Overall it was Delicious!!

W have been in Rome for a few weeks and this is our go-to restaurant for afternoon beverages and great dinners. The risotto is as good as it gets, pasta dishes are uniformly excellent and we are working our way through the secondi plates all of which are very tasty. May be the best food for the Euro we have enjoyed in Rome. The people are great with excellent wine pairing advice from a fair priced wine list. Perfect location for people and dog watching. Stop for an apertif, stay for dinner.
