I have to begin by saying that we had been to Venice, Florence and Pisa before we reached Rome, and the food I ate at this place easily beat almost every restaurant we tried. We stayed in Rome for 3 days, and ate a meal everyday at Dodo - in fact we ensured that it was where we had the... More

This is a restaurant where you can eat very good! And also the price is ok.. The atmosphere is typical italian and the staff is friendly (some italian's are not) so when you are in rome search for this restaurant en eat there! Its located from walking distant from the colosseum enjoy!

In April we had a very good dinner at Dodo Ristorante. Good service. Nice decorated restaurant, but last but not least the food was delicious. Price worth. We had a bottle of water, a caprese, a bufala mozzarella with ham, two delicious pasta's and two caffe's for just EUR 35. Strongly recommendable. Menu is also in English.

We had a lovely meal here, excellent home cooked pasta, good service, obviously family run with local clientele. While we were there a children's party was taking place which added to the local character. Some nice bars nearby, in narrow streets with a good atmosphere.

I travelled with my 18 year old son for 3 nights in Rome and we ate here for two of them. The food was brilliant - we had the house anti pasta, spaghetti and Veal / Fish the first time and anti pasta, bruchetta, pizza, a marvellous seafood risotto, tiramisu and ice cream the second time. The bill on both... More

Went here on my last night in Rome and wish I had found this place before as I would have made more than one visit! The food is excellent and great quality, service is excellent (for Rome standards!) and the prices are very reasonable, including the alcohol! Eat here if you can!

We found this restaurant whilst walking round. Simple entrance but warm welcome inside. Food was great, we had antipasti, pizza, amaretto, wine, beer etc. All were excellent and the final bill was even more reasonable. Recommended

We walked into Dodo because it was snowing and freezing outside, and we were looking for a place to get some lunch. We were afraid though, because we had been advised not to eat within the Coliseum area, as restaurants there are for tourists and usually expensive. This little restaurant surprised us with the good pasta, great breads and the... More

Very enjoyable, glad we found it. Off the beaten path a bit, so better service & value. Good English spoken. Needs wi-fi for foreign visitors.
