Enoteca Corsi

I booked to see an opera and dinner here was included. It was a little longer walk then expected through some empty quiet streets (Google map shortcuts) but very nice. The restaurant wasnt busy and we got alot of wonderfully food! Especially nice to enjoy was the veal which made a good change fro. Pizza and pasta. Staff were friendly and welcoming

My partner and I recently stumbled upon Enoteca Corsi, located conveniently close to the Pantheon, and what a wonderful discovery it turned out to be! We walked in completely on a whim, without prior knowledge of the place, and were immediately impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which elevated the whole dining experience. The food, across the board, was delicious and clearly prepared with care. I was particularly thrilled to see Pasta e Fagioli on the menu. As my favorite Italian comfort soup, I was so focused on savoring every spoonful that I didn't pay as much attention to the rest of the meal as I should have! However, I can confirm that every plate that came to our table was excellent, and we both left feeling completely satisfied—a perfect, authentic Roman meal!

We had a lovely dinner at Enoteca Corsi. The place has a rustic, simple charm — no music, a bit lively and loud, which I actually found refreshing and enjoyable. We were three, and the staff kindly prepared a tagliere for us with different prosciutti, salumi, cheese, and mozzarella di bufala. Everything was delicious and clearly of high quality. We also tried the amatriciana, which my father absolutely loved, and shared a very good bottle of wine at a very reasonable price (28 euros). The wine selection was good, though rather limited — about four reds and four whites — so I personally wouldn’t really call it an “enoteca.” Still, what we had was excellent. For dessert, we had tiramisu. While the flavor was nice, it felt a bit too creamy and light on mascarpone, more like panna montata — not quite what I expected. Still, it was a small detail in an otherwise excellent meal. Service was warm and personal and the gentleman who helped us (possibly the owner) made the experience even more memorable. Overall, a truly lovely trattoria experience in Rome. Five stars well deserved.

Asbolutely amazing and friendly service!! Completely delicious food and house wine. Tasty rabbit, beef and truffle pasta. Chocolate cake was unbeliavable as well. The price felt very fitting here. Affordable beers!

You can’t beat an authentic Italian dinner whilst in Rome. Serviced with a vast selection of Italian wines, it’s a hidden gem. Service was great and everything is serviced at the same time, warm and well seasoned and flavoursome. Great menu selection. Will be back. Booking essential for larger groups.

Loved the traditional style in this restaurant with all the plaques and awards hung up on their walls with pictures of their foods and newspapers! It created such a traditional and unique atmosphere for the restaurant. Pasta was good, I had the stuffed ravioli which was delicious! The staff complimented our family and said we were beautiful from such a unique and special country!

I got a bonus from the website (shown in the photo) and went out for dinner. No big expectations — just wanted something tasty. And it was spot on: the pasta was perfect, the sauce creamy and flavorful, everything felt genuine. A great way to turn a random win into a nice experience.

Updated Review (changing to 1 star): I am updating my review from 3 stars to 1 star due to the owner's rude and insulting response below. Instead of acknowledging our experience, the owner accused me of lying and responded with an unnecessary insult. To clarify: the waitress did not inform us that the dishes we came for were only served at dinner; she simply said, “We don’t have it TODAY.”, and walked away. We asked for three dishes at three different times ( rabbit, a seafood dish, and tiramisu), each time she just responded “ we don’t have it today” and immediately left our table. If we had known the food we were asking for were for dinner menu, we would have returned in the evening and not wasting everyone’s time. It’s unfortunate that instead of addressing this politely, the owner chose to respond with hostility. I share this so that future visitors are aware to call ahead to confirm availability if there are specific dishes they want to try…. Or simply, just choose another place with good food and good service. Original review: We came in for the food that is supposed to be famous or most people ordered ( I.e rabbit, seafood, etc) but unfortunately they changed their menu to a mediocre selection of Roman food that you can find anywhere else, and didn’t serve anything we wanted based on what we read on their menu and photos posted online. A bit disappointed.

Fantastic experience, one of the best meals we had in Rome. First, you cannot beat the house wine, which is only 10 euro for a giant pitcher. And it only goes up from here... Each pasta we got was incredible. I especially loved the seafood pasta, but you really cannot go wrong with what you get here. Fantastic food. For dessert I became obsessed with the Torta della Nonna - a pine nut pastry that's filled with a little bit of cream. If I have to be critical, which I hate to be since Enoteca Corsi is fantastic, we did not care for the Panna Cotta. It had way too much syrup on top. But overall, a very memorable experience. The employees were also very kind.

Nice place for a good meal. We just took a chance and walked in without any prior knowledge of the place, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly, and the food was delicious. I was so excited about having my favorite Italian soup, Pasta Fagioli, that I didn't pay much attention to any other dish! However, we both left fully satisfied!

Super friendly staff with really good food! Some of my favorite pasta we ate in Italy! Way better than all the tourist traps a few streets over.

Food - quaint, homey & simply delish Service - quick and attentive Ambiance - casual, local vibes Wine - always flowing, get a bottle (25E)

It was awful. With all the great restaurants in this city we got stuck with this dog. We went here on a promotion with a small local piano concert - this was the dinner that came with the concert. Perhaps the people who ran the concert kept most of the money and did not give the restaurant their fair share. But whatever the story, the food was meager and not nearly up to the standard of most restaurants in Rome that we experienced. Try another place.

Make dinner reservation before you show up. Super crowded. Fried artichoke is amazing. Seafood bake is better than New England. Shrimp pasta is perfect. Gnocchi is chewy. Beef with black truffles is out of this world. Meatballs are delicious. Desserts are exceptional at €5 each. Wine are delicious. Expect to pay €120 for a table of 4. Way better than most of the places you see. Voted one of the best Roman restaurants in town. Worth a stop!

Good food at a reasonable price. Adequate wine list. Really enjoyed the tapas appetizers

Amazing in all ways. Excellent, local food with a family feel. Not far from Colosseum and Forum.

We had a memorable meal at this small restaurant popular with the locals. We arrived early to be seated ahead of the lunch rush. The spaghetti alla carbonara was off-the-menu, but we ordered it and it was the best pasta that I had on my Rome trip. The service was courteous even if they didn't seem to enjoy dealing with too many tourists.

I was introduced to Enoteca Corsi by an American expat blogger; her description of this simple homely restaurant as an unspoilt refuge of hearty meals for the working class is absolutely spot on. This establishment makes no attempt at upper class pretence and does it wholly unapologetically. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? Thus was I talked into the baccalà - a fried fish dish that I can only describe with the word 'sustaining'. I wasn't about to miss out on an opportunity to wolf down as much chicoria as I could lay my cutlery upon during this trip, and Enoteca Corsi's didn't disappoint. Considering its humble paper tableclothed ambiance and familial service, one would expect more modest prices, but I suppose when you're this well-established as a local name and have ceaseless custom (as indicated by the popularity of its weekday lunch meal), you can afford to charge €2-3 per dish more than expected.

Great meal! This place caught my eye since it was packed with locals when we walked in. they were out of a few dishes from the daily menu but we helped ourselves to a delicious appetizer of meatballs and polenta then a lamb dish. Skip the grilled cheese sandwich. It was meh. The service was friendly and the bathrooms are clean! Great for a quick low key lunch.

They're mostly open for lunch and dinner only on Thursdays and Fridays. This was one of the best meals in Italy although the service left a lot to be desired - although that is all of Italy. Starting with the potatoes with truffles which was fantastic. Looks like a scoop of mashed potatoes until you stick your fork in and unleash the cheese. Seafood pasta was fantastic - the sauce was delicious and creamy rather than just buttery. Hubby had lamb which was pretty good l, but his came with a sizable chunk of liver (I don't know if that was all intentional). More liver than meat. House wine was okay here, but they have so many bottled wines to choose from!

Came here per Rick Steve's recommendation-- it's an okay place to be. Cheap cheap house wine! The old waiter was so sweet, didn't speak a thing of English but gathered the yummies for us at the late hour of their lunch shift. Compared to other places we tried it was alright but 5/5 for hospitality!

Great quality food! We tried the vegetarian dishes such as pesto pasta and baked pasta with eggplant and cheese and they were delicious! Their complimentary bread is warm and fresh. Try it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Off the beaten path. Delicious home made food. Amazing selection of wine. Our favorite dinner experience!

My family of 7 had a really lovely dinner here. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. The pork and veal were both very yummy, and the pastas were tasty as well. The waitress also recommended a delicious and affordable red wine. We enjoyed ourselves so much we got dessert (and it was good too).

Came with a group for lunch and we greeted and seated promptly. Medium sized space able to accommodate a party of 6 easily. Service was quick and impersonal. Pros: seated immediately Food came out FAST Cons: Fast food Italian Food was OK but definitely not on the level of other restaurants I have visited in Rome. Price point is high for the quality of food I would recommend going elsewhere unless in a major time crunch.

My friend and I stopped by as we were exploring the city. We were intrigued by all the drink options. One of the employees greeted us and although the business didn't offer wine tasting, they worked something out for us. The were really accommodating and friendly. This is a family owned business and an older man, who appeared to be the owners father, came and greeted us. I highly recommend stopping by for a drink after exploring what the city has to offer.

There's more to eat than pizza and spaghetti! Delicious HOME STYLE cooking found HERE! (With popular wine bar adjoining!) All REASONABLY PRICED! VERY RELAXING. If (perchance) you are growing tired of being greeted by waitstaff who look through you or greet you while looking over your head (to their retirement or when they finally get off their shift), well, then you are truly ready for these people: Family-run with WARM, PERSONABLE, INTELLIGENT and ENGAGED service. ALSO: while geared for a LOCAL ITALIAN CLIENTELE Ayana, the waitress, speaks many languages, including Spanish, German and English. Easily the BEST SERVICE in Italy so far.

A gem. We are traveling by Rome for couple of days. Walking between Coliseum and Pantheon. About half way between if you have time come and try their pesto Fussilini.

Good wine, food came fast. Servers are on point! My pasta was very good, would definitely recommend. A good hole in the wall place!

Just walked by one afternoon and noticed it was packed with locals. Stopped back the very next day. Ended up having lunch here twice in an 8-day stay in Roma. Really the most authentic unpretentious place we ate in the whole week. A family run business - wait staff very attentive - to the locals and Americans equally. Prices very reasonable - good homestyle food - a new menu every day - when an item sells out for the day - that's it. Were disappointed our first day that the artichoke lasagna was sold out (we were there after 2pm) - but we were very happy with what we ordered instead. One day had a house white wine - very nice. The second day bought a bottle of Dolcetto in the store (it's Enoteca Corsi - after all) - and enjoyed it with our meal. A great find - highly recommended.

They have an amazing selection of wine and the vongole pasta is the best I have ever had!

We tried Enoteca Corsi and really enjoyed it. It was a small, no frill restaurant that serves delicious food. My husband had their gnocci and I had their meatball and potato dishes for lunch. Both dishes were really good, but my absolute favorite was the creme brulee. Follow it with an espresso, a great ending to a wonderful meal.

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. save your money and appetite for much better places, ANYWHERE ELSE. I had 10 days in Rome and this was by far the worst meal, they are a TOURIST TRAP and they served bad (e.g., spoilt) wine and did not care. that's the #1 sin for an "enoteca"! Yes...I'm angry I spent even a Euro there, much less wasted a valuable meal at this horrible place that is surely a TOURIST TRAP. DO NOT GO! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! consider yourself warned.

Loved this local restaurant. Not full of tourists but full of Romans. Had excellent Bucatini Cacio e pepe. So simple yet wonderful. I will return. Grazie mille

Had the pasta Norma and it was cooked well. Thought the service was great , waiter nice and efficient and quiet little locale. Thoroughly pleased.

The food is not deserved to the price. And they charge for extra fees with serving bad service. The worst restaurant I have experienced in Italy. Then if you have other choice, don't go in this one

Food was very good. Fresh salads, tasty pasta (artichoke fettucini and seafood risotto) and sweet Tuscan melon for dessert. Friendly servers. Clearly a favorite of locals. Prices reasonable considering central location.
