Food
Roscioli operates as both a high-end salumeria and a full restaurant in the heart of Rome, and it has become something of a pilgrimage site for pasta purists, with reviewers calling out the gricia and amatriciana as standout, exceptional versions of dishes served all over the city. For diners wanting something beyond the classic pasta-and-pizza circuit, the kitchen also offers more adventurous options like beef tartare served on a marrow bone. Its 4.3 rating from over 6,400 reviews and near-maximum must-see score confirm its status as an essential, if busy, stop for food-focused travellers in Rome. Its expensive pricing and required booking reflect genuine demand rather than excess formality.

What people say
"Roscioli absolutely lived up to the hype and was one of the standout meals of our trip to Rome. Every dish was exceptional, but the gricia and the amatriciana were especially memorable—simple, authentic, and perfectly executed. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The atmosphere is lively yet charming, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. If you’re looking for a true Roman dining experience, this is a place you simply can’t miss. Going back in 2 months!"
