Location, Rome

What are you looking for when you say, “I want a real Roman Tavern“? Not just a restaurant, but a place where the smell of sauce envelops you like a hug, where every flavor has the history of Rome in it. It is not a meal, it is an immersion in the authentic heart of the city, an experience that stays in your heart long after the last bite. We at the Antica Osteria di Roma, on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, hold that promise. We are your Roman osteria in Rome that embodies tradition and authenticity. We guide you to discover what makes an osteria “Roman” in the deepest sense, and show you why we are among the best osterias in Rome to experience this magic. What is a true Roman Osteria? A true roman tavern is not just an eatery; it is an institution, a landmark for those seeking authenticity. It was born to nourish the soul and the body, and it still holds that promise of simplicity and flavor intact today.

And what makes it so special, so unmistakable?

Here, at Antica Osteria di Roma, there are multiple aspects that embody the purest essence of the roman tavern "de 'na vorta":

  • The lived-in atmosphere: Forget the frills and excessive luxury. Here you'll find a rustic, familiar ambiance, where the cheerful chatter of tables and the clink of glasses create a unique symphony. It is a place where time seems to slow down, and every detail, from the walls to the paintings, tells a story of authentic Roman-ness.
  • Genuine service: The welcome is always warm and friendly, a sincere smile and perhaps a ready joke are the order of the day. You won't find exaggerated formalism, but genuine attention, made up of honest advice and a passion for cooking that shines through in every gesture.
  •  The menù true to tradition: all courses are prepared with a mastery that tastes like home. The philosophy is clear: only fresh, quality ingredients, carefully chosen to give you the best of the season. From creamy Carbonara to Amatriciana, from savory Gricia to velvety Cacio e Pepe. And don't forget the main courses such as Saltimbocca alla Romana, Coda alla Vaccinara or the timeless artichokes, either alla Romana or alla Giudia.

Each dish is a celebration of tradition, an ode to the true Roman osteria in Rome.
