Poor service, unfriendly, food was average. Not worth the hype. Go somewhere authentic. Would bot recommend

I literally can't believe people people write bad reviews about this restaurant. The waiter was the nicest, most attentive person. The food was so good , we ordered seconds. Best restaurant I've ever been to and I've been around,trust me. If you don't like the...food here then you're clearly deranged and should just stay home with your box mac n cheese. If I could give 100 starts I would . CiaoMore

Absolutely no. We were chuck out of this place because we wanted to order only cafe and dessert, although there was no information that this place doesn't provide this kind of service. It was first time in my life when somebody treated me like that......And there was only 4 tables occupied for over a dozen of them... The owner - like a nightmare. He clapped (!) at me, because I throw a piece of paper to the garbage can outside the restaurant (I suppose i t was restaurant's can but it wasn't signed so how could I know it???) We were planned to come back here for dinner but now there is no such option. I rather die of hunger :)More

My wife and I ate at this restaurant in 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it so much that we saved going to the restaurant our last evening in Rome. The restaurant opens at 7:30 PM, so we enjoyed the sights of Rome during the day and...made our way to the restaurant 10 minutes prior to opening hoping to get a table. The restaurant was completely empty and 4-5 employees were sitting together at tables outside. I made my way to their table and explained that I knew they wouldn’t be opening for 10 minutes, but hoping to make a reservation. One of the employees abruptly blurted to me 7:30. I again, politely said that I knew they didn’t open until 7:30, but just wanted to confirm if we could make a reservation. Again, he rudely blurted 7:30, stood up and left. It’s quite obvious the worker was not an owner of the restaurant and could care less if we ate at the restaurant, so we chose to leave and found another restaurant to enjoy our last meal in Rome!More

I went here because it was Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurant, serving his favorite dish. Tagliolini Cacio e Pepe. Now I understand why he loved this place and dish so much. just 3 ingredients, Pecorino Romano Cheese, Black Pepper, and the noodles. with simplicity comes greatness!....they also grill some of the cheese and turn it into a bowl to serve it in. Fantastico!More

I've lived in Italy for over 30 years and know when I'm eating quality food. I was in Rome yesterday and on a friend's recommendation I went to this place for lunch. I ordered their famous Cacio e pepe, which arrived in 5 minutes and...was likely prepared before. It was ok but I've had better before. The carciofo alla guidia was over-fried and not good. The waiter also had a bit of attitude. Will not go back!More

Beloved Son & I visited in November of that year. Over-run by tourists---not travelers. Surly and not service-minded staff. We walked 3 blocks away and had a fantastic experience. And no. I'm not giving the name bc I don't want wnat happened at Sparita to...happen to them. Find it on your own.More
