Hostaria de' Pastini

Tucked near the Pantheon, this spot turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve had in the area. The menu had solid vegetarian options that actually felt thoughtful rather than just an afterthought, and the flavors were fresh and balanced. The atmosphere is warm and cozy—perfect for lingering over a meal. That said, service was on the slower side, so if you’re in a rush, this might not be your place. But if you’ve got the time, it’s worth settling in and enjoying the experience.

My best friend recommended this place and I’m so glad he did! We had firs the best meal in Rome so far ! Melon with prosciutto was something else!!! Carbonara with truffle- awe 🫢 Great service and best spot for lunch or dinner!

Six of us had a blast having a late lunch here. The food was excellent and the waiter was very personable and funny. Excellent service and he served us shots of limoncello at the end at n/c. We ate inside which worked out well as it was quiet and it rained while we were dining. Recommend trying the melon with prosciutto and the artichokes which are steamed or basted with herbs. Great appetizers. The pasta dishes we tried were very flavorful.

Wonderful food and wonderful staff!! The man welcoming us from the street and all the staff were very kind and nice. Inside there’s beautiful murals and plenty of seating for larger groups. It’s also an easy place to find (we had someone meet us here)!

I highly recommend this place! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming – you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely delicious – make sure to try the homemade wine and the carbonara, they’re amazing! The pizza is also very tasty, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. It's definitely a place worth visiting. A wonderful experience all around!
