"Beppe’s little shop in the Jewish Ghetto needs no hype—just walk by and you’ll spot the glass case overflowing with cheese and salumi, practically waving you in. The shelves are stocked with artisanal pasta, olive oil, jams, and cookies, while the opposite wall is lined with bottles of natural wine. There are a few tables where you can sample it all, starting with a platter of cheeses like smoked pecorino or housemade giallina, an alpine cow’s milk cheese. While the dairy is a highlight, the wine selection is equally impressive. If you're there during truffle season (late fall to winter), try the tajarin al tartufo bianco, paired with a Nebbiolo. photo credit: Saghar Setareh photo credit: Saghar Setareh video credit: Saghar Setareh photo credit: Saghar Setareh" - Annie Replogle

"After more than a decade of selling Italian and French cheeses and wine at the edge of the historic Ghetto of Rome, Beppe e I Suoi Formaggi renovated and considerably downsized its space and menu. Now the single dining room is mostly occupied by an incredible array of cheeses made by, among others, owner Beppe Giovale. The menu is predictably dairy focused with cheese plates, as well as butter and ricotta, which are paired with salted anchovies and honey, respectively, alongside natural vino. The wine list features collaborations with wine makers like Sicily’s Nino Barraco." - Katie Parla

Had an Incredible experience casually enjoying my lunch here! The people working were so friendly and passionate about the delicious food they offer. I was quite hungry and also wanted a well-rounded experience, so I got the plate of 3 mixed cheeses, a half order of the mixed salumi, lovely bread, cold refreshing water, and a very nice glass of Sicilian skin contact white wine. The food and wine were all truly amazing; it may have been the best cured meats and cheeses I've ever had. And to add more to an already great meal was the friendly duo working there. It was fun to chat with them while taking time to savor an awesome lunch. A bit more expensive for a lunch than what I would typically spend, but I knew what I was getting myself into and I am so glad with everything about it!

Could not recommend more. Cheese producer as well as a cheese monger and the quality is incredible. Good sized portions as well. The house mortadella is made in the classic Bologna style and you can tell the difference. Wonderful staff who make great recommendations. Would go back in a heartbeat

Had a really great lunch here, I told the staff my cheese preferences and they totally nailed it. Highly recommend!

Great wine, cheese and meat selection! We tried different cheeses and hams and everything was excellent! Totally worth a visit!

Went for cheese and wine. The waitress was unfriendly and was forceful in that we could only stay for 45min without a booking. Fyi. The place was empty, and still empty after 30min (when we left). The first wine was very underwhelming (cheap wine), and the second wine was corked but the server wanted us to have it regardless. The cheese plate had good cheeses, but the portion was very small for the price. Also, this place was not at all rustic which is the vibe given off from the pictures.

Small authentic place with great cheeses and wine. I told the waiter what I liked and he told the senior gentleman who cuts the cheese. I got 5 cheeses I've never tasted before. The raw cow milk cheese with blue mold was the best! I payed 26 euro, the cheese plate was 18, so 8 euro for a single glass of wine. Pretty expensive, but very delicious.

We love this place. There is something special about sitting down right beside the meats and cheeses and having an expert select your tasting of fantastic cheeses of all different types. This is a don’t-miss venue, perfect for lunch. We got lucky and when we arrived, no one else was dining yet. We got the undivided attention of the team and they also brought three bottles of wine for us to consider. She walked us through each wine and its qualities. Then we selected the one with minerality and a black pepper finish. It was exactly as described. Not something i would know to order, but went perfectly with the cheeses and meats they selected. The portions were generous and we could barely finish it all between the two of us. I can’t wait to come back in April with our friends and share the magic of Beppe’s cheeses.

Amazing place with various cheeses from Italy and abroad. The staff recommends you different cheese plates and pairs wine according to taste. The cheese and meat boards are out of this world and the outdoor seating provides a very nice evening atmosphere of the streets of Rome!

This place is super cute and I really was excited to try it but after walking in and clearly seeing the server holding a napkin to her cheek after obviously popping a zit, that's where I draw the line. Keep that kinda thing behind the lines and out of sight of your customers. Maybe tend to your acne before you come to work but that's the last thing I want to think about when diving into some Brie.

This was our third visit to Beppe's in two years and we still love it. In previous years there was a grocery area and a second room for dining. This year there was only the grocery area and outside tables. The assortment of cheese and cured meats was beautiful and impressive. We sat outside on a warm spring evening and had our favorite melted robiola and a wonderful plate of salumi. The robiola came wrapped in parchment. When you untied it there was a bowl of delicious melted cheese with a touch of honey along with a basket of bread for dipping. The quality of meat on the salumi plate was superb. From the mild and sweet ham to the spicy salumi. The wait service was great, setting up an extra table for us. Reservations are highly recommended. I'm looking forward to eating there again on my next visit to Rome.

The most amazing cheese and salumi selections. Super friendly and great wines. Do not miss for aperitivo before your dinner in the Jewish quarter.

Great place for cheese and meats. I sampled five cheeses; they tasted great and the service was good and quick. He is very knowledgeable and open to chatting and helping out. In a nice quaint spot in the jewish ghetto.

One of my favorite spots in the Jewish ghetto. I stumbled across it by accident while walking into the center where all the restaurants are. I loved this spot so much I ended up here on four separate occasions. This shop has fresh cheeses, artisan breads, a selections of wines and they even have a menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stopped by for their breakfast and ordered their prix-fixe options of espresso, bread, ricotta and honey. It was only €5 and it was perfect! A good amount of food and great quality. For lunch I tried their prosciutto plate and mixed goat cheese board and ordered their sourdough bread basket. The prosciutto was melt-in-your-mouth and the cheeses were delicious and varying in style and taste. You can't go wrong with pairing their selection of wines by the glass, but feel free to ask for a recommendation!

YOU MUST COME HERE. While exploring the Jewish Ghetto my wife and I stopped into Beppe because we noticed they have a natural wine selection. Matteo helped us pick out a few wines (which were amazing) and then we stocked up on cheese and meat. We had a wonderful night drinking and eating on our rooftop, so we stopped by to visit Matteo the next day for lunch. Man, this was the most fun meal we had in Rome! We didn't even have to order. Matteo brought us wonderful dishes that included mozzarella that was made the previous day. We ended up hanging out for a while (2 bottle of wine)! Matteo was a wonderful host. We cherish our wine opener from Beppe because of the fond memories. Thank you, Matteo!

Cheese & charcuterie heaven! We were wandering by and all the cheese caught my eye - and once I realized where we were (this joint was already on my radar) I made a beeline straight for the deli case. We didn't eat in, but ordered a couple of meats and cheeses to go. The staff, while not overly friendly, was very patient with us, letting us have as many samples as we wanted until I began to feel guilty about not being able to make up my mind. Although they offer cheeses (and meats, presumably, although I'm not entirely certain) from all over Europe, we focused on the Italian-produced ones and left with a salty, funky, soft blue and a semi-hard cheese, plus some proscuitto crudo and cinghiale salame. They also offer wine and many jarred delectables like truffle butter, oils, and preserves. I loved that they focus on smaller, natural producers, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. It was great to have locally-made snacks at our Airbnb for the next few days!

A perfect experience in the old Jewish Ghetto. Amazing wine, cheese and meats to taste before moving on to the local restaurant for Primi.

Just okay sandwich. The cheese was good. The bread was okay and the mortadella (fancy ham) was just okay. Not impressed

I consider it a vacation success if I find a memorable place to return over and over again. This is it for me. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or take-out. With places like this, there is no excuse to ever eat bad food in Rome. The other reviewers said it all. On my last day, I'll skip the heavy tourist spots and come here to throw a coin over my shoulder.

Very frustrating experience. We walked 17 minutes out of the way just for the reviews. The gentlemen who offered us cheese tried to over charge us before we sat down. He offered meat and cheese for 2 for $30 Euro or just cheese for $15 euro. As soon as we sat down we noticed the sign that offered meat and cheese for 1 with bread and a drink for 12 Euro. We brought it to his attention and he pretended he's never seen the sign before.. very disappointing so we left.

Best cheese in Rome, nice staff, great recommendations, good wine selection - a very nice meal at a good price, in the historical Jewish Ghetto in Rome, Five stars easily !! Went back again, not disappointed ! See picture, great meat plates and cheese plates and tartare !!

This is the place for meats and cheeses. I know there's a more famous one a few blocks away but theyre way more customer oriented here. The folks try very hard to help you out and greet you with a smile. Turns out one of the guys sister lives where i went to school. Small world. They Produce many of the fheeses in house. That's insane. Then there's the selected cured meats and wines. Id hit this every day if i had the time. The smoked ricotta is insane. I also had a cheese that was a cross between mozzarella and gruyere., so damn good. Such a great place

We stopped for lunch. The place was a delight. We had the lunch special-sharp pecorino cheese that melted in your mouth with a small but satisfying dish of pasta and salad misti. It also came with a glass of wine and caffe and a biscuit for desert. I highly recommend it.

Heaven. Cheese heaven. This place is not for the faint-hearted or the lactose intolerant. Went for dinner and had 3 fabulous courses of cheese. Started with the Buratta (WOAH), then had a pear and chevre salad, then we did the Beppe cheese plate. Loved their wine selection and their prices. So cool that they don't have a restaurant mark up. We told our super nice server, Flavia, that we were looking to spend between 20-25 Euro on a bottle and that we like things from Montalcino. She picked us out a DOC Rosso di Montalcino priced at 12.50 Euro and she said, "it's good, trust me, you don't have to spend 20!" Loved that honesty! And she was right, it was delicious! Definitely go to Beppe if you are in the ghetto... go to shop for good cheeses/wine or go for dinner!

I want to use add the word "fantastic" in describing this fantastic cheese shop, but Benjamin P has already taken it in his review. We bought cheeses, sausages, and bread to take back to our apartment. We had great assistance from behind the counter, ending up with a wonderful assortment of Italian cheeses ans sausages for the evening, from fresh soft Caprottini goat cheese to stronger Savoiarda cow's milk cheese. And a delicious unleavened bread whose name I'll never remember. I highly recommend this as the perfect cheese shop in Rome.

I couldn't find the place I was looking for so I decided to give these cheese place a try for lunch. First impression was that it seemed new and modern and very clean. The dining area is cramped like a lot of other places in Rome. Service was slow though the staff were friendly. Eggplant with ricotta and tomatoes was delicious! So fresh was the ricotta. The Barbera wine was perfect with it. Amazing panna cotta. This is the kind of place I would go to every week if I lived nearby! Highly recommend it. Stopped here twice during my stay. Second time had dessert and bought a magnificent bottle of red wine and an amazing selection of cheeses to take back to the hotel.

Adorable little place with fantastic cheese and charcuterie. We were able to nosh and enjoy a bottle of wine. Great find!

Amazing cured meat and cheese selection. Customer service was 4 stars...helpful, friendly and knowledge. Definitely a must for their salami, prosciutto and goat cheese. Ask to see their 24 year old aged bleu cheese.

We have enjoyed the wonderful food and friendly service here before now. This time, we arrived to find our reserved table ready and then... nothing. This is a tiny place - maybe 10 tables - but after nearly half-an-hour without even seeing a menu, of being ignored by the waiter every time he passed, we walked out and found another place down the road. We hoped they might even call us (they have the number from the reservation) with an apology or explanation, but no. I'd like to think there were some special circumstances to account for this uncharacteristic failure, but we'll never know.
