Da Michele

Full of local people. We where here on wednesday 16÷9÷2015. Be here on time (before 8.30 pm) or it will be difficult you find a seat without reservation. Sitting at the outside is realy noisy. Food was good at a reasonable price.

The food is very good. I had an amazing frutti di mare, and my girlfriend had a good lasange.
The service and attitude is a bit strange, however. After not ordering dessert, our waiter went inside to eat (!) and did not come back. I went inside to pay and received help from the owner.
When I took out my card there was a long rant from some other guy about credit cards and restaurants and I felt quite uncomfortable. It’s 2015, Swedish restaurants have adapted to cards since many years and allow entering a «total» amount while showing the «suggested» amount.
So we did not eat until we puked and we did not pay with paper. And for this we are doomed outcasts?

Wirklich sehr lecker. Alles zur Zufriedenheit. Das anti pasto war als Buffet und wirklich sehr lecker.
Die Nudeln genau richtig al’dente und das Fleisch auch perfekt Medium.

Located near the site of the Trevi Fountain, Da Michele is a quaint little Italian restaurant you can rest after a nice walk around the town square. My recommendation is the fettucine with cream sauce or a pizza with sausage and mushrooms. We enjoyed a nice wine pairing as well to accompany our meal, so we were satisfied with what we ordered. The menu was a bit overwhelming, so we kept it simple. Service was probably the only downside of this place, otherwise we enjoyed our meal and our tiramisu very much!

Another day of endless walking led to another restless night at home. After looking through countless Unilocal reviews, we decided to just walk down Merulana and see what we could find.
De Michele wasn’t far from our temporary home and prices seemed reasonable so we decided to eat here. We were tempted to go to the show at the theater right next to it which featured scantily clad women dancing in the windows, but erred on the side of good judgement.
It took a while to be seated, but the place seemed to be packed by locals. Once again we had the joy of being served by someone who spoke little English. With some hardcore pointing, we were able to persevere though.
I ordered the spaghettii all Amatriciana. It had a bit of spice with the chili peppers, but I definitely enjoyed it compared to plain ol spaghetti. Also had a couple of meat dishes (porkchop and beef), which were minimally seasoned, but cooked perfectly.

EXTREMELY BAD EXPERIENCE! My husband and I visited this restaurant after reading good reviews about the tiramisu on here. And since that was what we were craving we went for some wine and dessert. Possibly something more but we definitely wanted the two and wanted them first, so we tried to order and the waiter was terribly rude when we tried to order telling us «This is a restaurant!!!» And would not allow us to order either the wine or dessert unless we would order pasta or pizza. Save your self the anguish of a bad experience and visit one of the other great and kind restaurants in Rome that won’t treat you terrible and have you get up and leave since you didn’t want to immediately order pasta.

Ok italian restaurant but not worth its five stars on Unilocal.I had a good risotto and some good wine but that extra wasent there. It was quite affordabel and the service was ok.

Amazing food, wine and great service! It was a bit off the beaten (tourist) path, with great atmosphere and prices. The tiramisu was delicious!

Amazing pasta and pizza! Local foood– a must try. The fettucine with mushrooms and cream sauce was debatably the best pasta in Rome ! Pizza is ok. Good house wine and tiramisu. Owner is really nice. Try the lemon ciello

We were recommended this restaurant by our apartment owner and it was great. The service was good and our family order four meals and we shared everything, it was wonderful and very well priced. If you are near the train station it’s worth it.

BEST RESTAURANT IN ROME! Been coming here for years and if the locals eat here you KNOW its good! TRY IT, you won’t be disappointed!
