Absolutely fantastic!!! You have not had the true Italian flavor experience unless you have stopped here!!! Full menu with appetizers, two courses, limoncello to die for, cappuccino, tiramizu... the BEST lasagne I have EVER tasted!!! I can't say enough about this place!!! Try the lamb with rosemary and potatoes!!! Indoor and outdoor dining. Off the beaten path, but only an 18 minute walk from the Trevi fountain. Consult your Google maps to get there!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

The pinsa romana (pizzas) were excellent, specially the Amatriciana, 10/10. Friendly staff, lovely area (very quiet corner for being in crowded area)

We were walking randomly in the area and this cute little restaurant caught our eyes. They have outdoor seating, and the street is nice and quiet, not a lot of people/tourists walking around. We loved the food (got the seafood Risotto and a mushroom pasta). Our server, Jamal, was awesome! He went above and beyond in his service. Also, they play Italian songs, so it makes the atmosphere even more amazing! The portion size is good too! Definitely an amazing find and would visit again when we’re in Rome again.

We had a great experience here. The service was fine, the food was fine and the area is great, a little away from the busy street. We didn’t like that they put 3 euro pr. person for service on the bill and suddenly a brief little lunch got to be quite expensive.

We had amazing pasta (3 different sorts including the Roman specific cacio e pepe) and also melanzane alla parmigiana. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was prompt, though the terrace at least was full. Nothing bad to say, only good things, simply because all food was tasty.

Absolutely excellent, cannot recommend enough. Tried both the pinsa and the pasta, one more delicious than the other, as italian food should be. Would definitely recommend and visit again next time. The place is quiet, cosy and pleasant, despite being practically in the center, 5 minutes walk from Piazza Navona. Bonus: beautiful street on the way there.

Antica Taverna sits quietly on Via di Monte Giordano in Rome, a gem just a short walk from the Trevi Fountain. This restaurant captures the true spirit of Italian cuisine with a passionate dedication to traditional flavors and heartfelt service. The moment you enter, you are welcomed by the warm, rustic charm of the space, accented by Italian melodies that enrich the dining experience.

The menu is a celebration of Roman and Italian classics. Highlights like the Pinsa Romana — particularly the Amatriciana version — offer a perfect balance of crispy dough and rich toppings. The Pasta Gricia, Cacio e Pepe, and Carbonara stand out as authentic renditions that respect the roots of Roman gastronomy, bursting with simplicity and depth. The lasagne here is nothing short of legendary, praised by visitors as the best they've ever tasted, layered with fresh ingredients and a slow-cooked touch that melts in your mouth.

Seafood lovers will delight in the Spaghetti alle Vongole and the seafood risotto, both fresh and finely seasoned. The deep-fried artichoke and the hearty Coda Alla Vaccinara showcase the kitchen’s command of traditional Roman dishes with a refined modern touch. For dessert, the Pistachio Tiramisu is a sublime finale, delicate yet indulgent, paired beautifully with a rich espresso or a zesty limoncello to cleanse the palate.

Service at Antica Taverna shines just as brightly as the food. Staff are attentive and passionate, turning each meal into a memorable occasion. The quiet street setting, away from Rome's bustle, offers an intimate outdoor dining option that complements the calm and authentic atmosphere.

Antica Taverna is more than just a meal; it is a full immersion into the Italian culinary heritage, where every bite echoes the soul of Rome. Whether you seek comforting classics or a peaceful escape with genuine flavors, this restaurant promises an unmatched dining experience that lingers long after the last course.
