“ Found this great spot while strolling through the neighborhood. Great food and excellent value with fantastic service. The food is not the best you'll find, but is very solid and is less crowded than some of the other nearby restaurants where sometimes you have to wait an hour to be seated. Strongly recommend check this place out if you're in the area and couldn't grab a table at one of the more busy restaurants nearby. ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner here during our time in Trastevere. I recommend the Cacio e Pepe which was phenomenal and one of the best pastas I had while in Rome. Pizza was also solid. Ambiance is busy and lively, adjacent to the piazza/square. Waiting staff was helpful and friendly! Among a lot of extremely popular restaurants, Carlo Menta offers home cooking in a cozy environment. ”
“ We stopped in here after seeing all the popular restaurants had super ridiculous long lines and this one has many people eating but no line. It was a great decision the pizza was really good and the cacio e Pepe was one of the best that I've tried there. Next door there is a gelato place stop by! They have the real gelato covered in the metal containers ”
“ This restaurant in Trastevere was so affordable and tasty! We had pizza, salad, seafood pasta, and bread with olive oil. It was a great deal, and the outdoor seating was nice. ”
“ I came in right when they opened on New Years day. The staff speak English and Italian. I came here on the suggestion of Fr. Rodderick's podcast. All the courses were delicious and flavorful. The food came out relatively fast compared to other sot down restaurants in Rome. I had a wonderful New Years day lunch! ”
