Best Authentic Restaurants in Quartiere XXI Pietralata

One of the best in Rome, perfect service perfectly food quality, nice ambience

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and chose Il Barroccio. The moment we were seated, they arrived with two glasses of champagne! Then, after dinner, the opening notes of Ed Sheeran's 'Perfect' filled the room — and we were wonderfully surprised to realize it was all for us. The staff carried out a tiramisu crowned with a huge sparkler, and the whole restaurant erupted in applause, celebrating right along with us. It was our first night in Rome, and they made our special night absolutely 'PERFECT.' It will definitely be one we will never forget!!! Thank you so very much Luigi!

Our waiter Francesco was absolutely the Best!!! He chose our appetizers and entree choices and it all was delicious. Second time there and will be back in 2027 when returning to Rome!

Amazing food & service! Loved our pasta & steaks as well as the meat/cheese plate appetizer and the focaccia!

I very much enjoyed my dinner at Tavern Urbana. For an appetizer we got the meat and cheese tower, definitely need a minimum of 2 people for that. The ricotta with the honey on top was absolutely amazing. It tasted almost as good as the homemade ricotta my Nonna makes. For primi I got the Burrata and Pistachio ravioli which I liked very much. While it didn’t have the most “explosive” flavor, it was subtle and tasty. My boyfriend got the pasta in the cheese wheel. Everyone in the restaurant paused to watch it get spun around and made. For only 6€ more to spin it around in the cheese wheel it was 100% worth it and they really did load it up. For my second I got the veal, this was my first time trying veal, the meat itself was cooked well and smothered in sauce but I just personally didn’t care for it just not my style but if you’re someone who likes veal I think you’d enjoy it. Lastly for dessert we shared a tiramisu which was absolutely phenomenal. Don’t be fooled by the lack of lady fingers in the appearance. There wasn’t a lot but boy were they SOAKED in coffee and that cream was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back to Tavern Urbana if I ever find myself back in Rome.
