Rome offers endless culinary possibilities, but a thorough review of recommendations led me to this place. A restaurant steeped in history, once home to an ancient theater. The interior features décor largely reflecting the restaurant's origins. The cuisine is, of course, local, simple, yet surprising in its details. I'd mention, for example, artichokes, which I've never encountered as a side dish in other Italian restaurants, and rigatoni with calf offal, which was also a complete surprise to me. Hanna, our waitress, was very polite, always smiling, and helped us with a short Italian lesson, which I greatly appreciate!

My favorite restaurant in Rome! This place is a must. Flavours are top, wine selection is amazing and the service was great! The place is so iconic, making the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the meal. The ravioli was the delicious. We also had artichoke, carpaccio and a pasta with truffle, ending with a sweet note of tiramisu.

We had an excellent experience at Ristorante Pancrazio dal 1922 — this is definitely a place where you should make a reservation in advance. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was fantastic. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including carbonara, steak, and chicken, and honestly every dish was delicious. The chicken dish stood out as our favorite of the night, and every bite was full of flavor. The fresh bread they brought to the table was also a great start to the meal. The setting itself is charming and truly adds to the experience — it felt like a perfect blend of good food and memorable ambiance. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a great meal and a lovely place to dine in Rome!

The food was amazing, and Vittorio's recommendations were especially spot-on. We are very thankful to him for offering us different experiences. I assumed it was overrated due to its historical reputation, but it was absolutely worth the hype.

As someone who has enjoyed a lot of pasta all over Rome, I can honestly say this place was the best. The atmosphere was wonderful, the pasta was incredibly authentic, and every dish tasted exceptionally fresh. A special thank you to our waiter, Sam, for making the experience even more memorable.
