minasamouhabest italian food ever in rome
TheForkUserDon’t let the name fool you. It may sound English but it’s all Italia! Great spot in the San Giovanni neighborhood. Perfect for a late night meal. We made a dinner reservation for 10:30 pm after a long day in Rome and the place was still lively. Friendly staff and great Roman food.
TheForkUserThe food is really good and the service too.. i have already been few times and i will go back..
TheForkUserWe felt very welcome, the people serving were most friendly and helpful. We were given the opportunity to choose between a table in the garden or on the roof - we chose the latter with a nice view and a breeze. The experience was complete and service was wonderful, with a nice amuse to start with and pure, good food. Drinks (non-alcoholic cocktails) were also good and a lust for the eye, decorated with flowers - the only disadvantage was that drinks were rather expensive.
TheForkUserThe food was great (especially the beef) and the service was outstanding. They even agreed to change some parts of the menu to meet our tastes. In addition to that, the atmosphere is beautiful with subdued light. I would definitely recommend it !
TheForkUserExcellent food, ordered carbonara, Coniglio alla cacciatora, straccetti di semplici, and a custard based dessert. Really excellent quality, but for me, the rabbit was sublime! My daughter said the dessert was the best shed ever had! Service was very quick but we got there just before 8, and then it quickly filled up. You know you're at a good restaurant when 90% of the diners are Italian. One piece of advice, if you want to drink out of wine glasses, order a bottle of wine. The house red was very nice, but the wine glasses only come when a bottle is ordered because too many glasses get broken. I hope to visit this restaurant again soon.
TheForkUserWe had the wagyu and it was amazing! One of the best we’d ever tasted. It wasn’t on the menu, so I recommend asking for it! Great service! This restaurant has top service and we will definitely come back!
TheForkUserexcellent service by waiter. asked for a variety of local appetizers and wine. waiter delivered a great variety of local Roman dishes.
TheForkUserWe didn’t order a lot. We had veal scaloppine in a nice lemon sauce and mussels and clams, which were good. The restaurant is pleasant but the women’s bathroom had some problems; no toilet seat, the soap didn’t work, the hand dryer didn’t work and no towels.Nice staff, friendly
TheForkUserCooking is great fun and having dinner is simply marvellous at Arancina Matta. You can taste all the yummy stuff you love to eat but maybe didn't dream you could eat. This cozy and quiet restaurant serves the most luscious vegetable dishes and the best "bruschette"!
TheForkUserGreat food.Great service Great price.Only one tiny problem is it's too far away from everything. A long distance walk to the centre
TheForkUserReally friendly staff, I was opening my fast and they accommodated that too. They also allowed me to switch out a component of my salad which is very very rare in Italy!
TheForkUserFirst time diners and we enjoyed the experience. From the greeting and seating to the wait staff all was very good. The food choices in appearance, smell, preparation, and presentation exceeded expectations. Thanks for an enjoyable experience. We shall return.
TheForkUserGreat food, great service, well, great evening date with my husband! I will definitely come back, when I’m in Rome again.
TheForkUserReally enjoyed the food. Restaurant was a great find. Staff friendly and helpful. If you do visit then making a reservation would be advised as it got very busy.
TheForkUserLovely staff, very good pizza, more of a takeaway place though rather than for a romantic sit-down meal
TheForkUserWithout a doubt ... one of the best meals I've had in Rome ... and I've been coming here for 20 years.... I hope that says a lot. Thank you to the staff and cooks
TheForkUserGreat patio where you can still listen to the music from the band in the square! We have the antipasto for two, meatballs amatriana and catio Pepe fries! Scrumptious!
TheForkUserAtmosphere was nice with music in backround. Excellent service and suprisingly tasty risotto with crema di scampi.
TheForkUserSimple and good with beautiful view!
TheForkUserFood was fantastic and service top notch! View of beach walk very enjoyable. Great way to end a trip to Italy. Highly recommended!
TheForkUserFood was amazing and well priced. The servers were were nice and informative. We did the 7 course meal and we were so satisfied with everything that were served to us!
TheForkUserThe customer service was outstanding and the food was great
TheForkUserWilly and his entire staff are wonderful hosts and very attentive to special dietary requests. We always visit them when we’re in Rome visiting.
TheForkUserWe were pleasantly surprised. Although very quiet (only2 other diners) it was top class. A very friendly and helpful waiter and excellent food and wine. Definitely worth a visit.
