Lo Scopettaro

Cute, cozy little restaurant. I got the oxtail soup and it was delicious. The staff were polite. Lots of photos of Italian celebrities on the walls.

Our favorite meal during our trip to Rome. Location not the best, but atmosphere, service, food and people among the best there is. Prices also very very good for this quality of food! Wish we had a place like this in Toronto!!!

Amazing dishes, the service is super homey and cozy and all the food and wine is to die for. Carbonara is the best we tried!

This restaurant was recommended to me by a local. At first when I arrived, I was skeptical as it was early in the evening and it’s a quiet neighborhood without much going on… however, the food BLEW me away!! This was my last meal after 2 weeks in italy and I absolutely loved everything I got!! By the end of the evening, there was also live music and a line - so it seems to be a popular place! If you’re going on a Saturday night, make a reservation in advance!

Service is standard for Italy - good quality, attentive when needed, and they don’t bother you and let you sit as long as you like.

We had:
- the eggplant Parmesan - best I’ve ever had
- the chili chicory pasta - delicious but incredibly spicy
- the cacio e pepe pasta - amazing
- half liter house red wine - cheap and delicious
- crème caramel aka flan - perfect

The food was the best we had in Rome!
Cozy restaurant with the best traditional food, you can sense it from the very entrance - it smells like good, aged cheese and a home made food.
There was also a man who played music and sang live a couple of songs which livened up the place and made this the full italian dinner experience.

Can be very busy I recommend booking in advance.

Great food ans service. Book in advance as it is a very popular restaurant.

Most phallic carciofo in all of Rome?
Jokes aside, this was a fantastic Roman restaurant.

Wonderful meal with local menu absolutely perfect for the last night in Rome. A fantastic recommendation.

the best carbonara!!!!! a roman friend showed me this place. a must!

Delicious food, positive atmosphere, typical Roman restaurant, professional staff. Recommended!

This was a random restaurant I chose that was near me on my first day in Rome. I had the Carbonara which was incredible. I then had it in several other places in Rome. This was by far the best one. Highly recommended.

Ambiance is subpar, but the food is incredible! Wonderful staff and a wonderful authentic experience. Would definitely recommend!

They have one of the best carbonara and tiramisu. Don’t be deceived by its location not being in the city center. Reservation is highly recommended.

Out of this world Carbonara and cacio è pepe!

10/10 would recommend and eat here again!

Simple Roman food done incredibly well. Absolutely our favourite restaurant in town. Great service, simple menu with lots of choice. 80e for 4 persons - 4 mains, sides, wine and desserts. 👌🏼. You will need to book. Monday evening in summer was busy from opening.

The issue with this restaurant is, everything you eat in Rome afterwards (although fantastic) doesn’t compare with the quality of food of this place. It’s so good !!!!

One of the best amitricianas we had in Rome. They fry their thin guanicale crispy and set it on top of the pasta. It's helpful if you speak a little Italian since this area of Rome, is less frequented by tourists. When we visted on a busy Thursday we were surronded by Italains, unlike restaurants in Trastevere, Monti and the historical district where we were surrounded by English speakers. Save room for their tiramasu. It looks like a large portion but it's very light and fluffy.

Great place, delicious dishes, I highly recommend their traditional carbonara! 🙌🏼

Great little trattoria, tonnarelli pomodoro fresco e mozzarella, great pasta with beautiful fresh tomato and rich sauce, finish off with a limoncello, great value

A simple, authentic Roman restaurant. The pasta is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Service was great - our waiter was friendly and relaxed and dealt with our beginner's Italian very graciously. The terrace out front is nice enough- near the river with lots of trees around- but it is quite noisy as it is on a main road. The inside seating area is very cosy though. A great option for dinner in the Testaccio area!
