Agustarello A Testaccio

This place had two occupied tables at eight, and every table occupied at quarter past eight. We felt like we had stumbled onto a neighborhood secret. The prices seem very reasonable- and the pasta was delicious. We had the amatriciana and the oxtail. I think the oxtail could have had a wee bit more meat on the plate it tasted really good. The real highlight was the side of chicory which was definitely bitter but somehow still so moreish. The service is friendly but a bit slow- it took ages for our stir fried chicory to arrive after we had demolished our pasta. Would definitely go back. Reservations are recommended.

Uniqueness: 10/10 Experience: 10/10 Value: 10/10 Rare found. Hidden treasure in Roma. Special local favorites. Secret recipes. Friendly people. Gentle chef. Exceptional grilled lamb ribs. Tasteful cooked veggies cicory. Atmosphere the Italian way. Lovely.

This restaurant was recommended by our tour guide. We wanted to eat at a place where locals eat and have authentic local cuisine. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious. We enjoyed local cheese that was out of this world, amazing wine that was not expensive, but delicious and I had lamb chops that would rival any chop house in manhattan and my wife had handmade pasta that was perfection on every level. The service was amazing and the atmosphere felt like we were in grandma’s kitchen. Small quaint rustic place with good food and wine I’d highly recommend if you are in Rome. It’s not a big fancy restaurant, but it is for certain Authentic and Delicious!

Good very local Roman spot for classic dishes, including plenty of offal. We tried the sausages with bacon rinds and beans which was very flavoursome. Carbonara which was okay, and mixed offal with fried onions, also flavoursome and yummy. Service was friendly and excellent. Dinner for two with 1 litre of wine and coffees was 55 euros.

Lovely, wonderful and authentic! We went to Augustarello two nights ago due to the good reviews - and it turned out to be one of the most amazing nights! We were immediately taken care of by two kind and honest people from the staff. The service felt authentic, committed and engaged - but in a real and honest way. The woman and the man that served us helped us with our needs and with great recommendations, even with practicing our Italian! The whole experience felt alike - authentic! Seeing the single cook in the kitchen making the most lovely food, picking up ingredients from a table placed in the serving hall just by the costumers, the local Italians gathering to eat, the luxury-looking food, the well-composed design and woody interior: created at the same a high but an intimate, familiar climate. We ordered a simple dinner for two with the house’s wine and the beautiful fruit cake to finish up - and it was without doubt enough to give us an experience we will never forget. I will definitely return as soon as I land my feet on Rome again! Grazie mille!

I wish I had photos of the food, but it was so delicious it was gone before the camera came out. The homemade sausage and meatballs may be some of the best in the city. And I highly recommend the stewed ox ṭail! The cuisine was authentic and not expensive. Get there when they open or make acl reservation as it fills up quickly.

I ordered Gricia, meatballs, the cooked flower, and the chocolate dessert; all of them were outstanding, and this was my best "Italian food experience" in the city. To top it all off was the service, the sweet lady who helped with all the great suggestions always had a smile on her face, and made the whole experience much more welcoming. Best option to get away from the tourist-trap places in the center.

Agustarello A Testaccio is hands down one of the best Roman restaurants in Rome! We ordered the main dish, Coda alla Vaccinara, and it was absolutely amazing. We also enjoyed a few appetizers, all of which were delicious. This is a traditional Italian-Roman restaurant that I highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic dining experience. The staff is very friendly, and they speak English, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a must-visit!
