This was one of few places I’ve ever visited and each one of my companions had something amazing. I loved the buzz and cream tablecloths of this place, the chatty waiters and the fact that it was full of people on a Friday evening. The house wine is really good. I liked pretty much everything we ordered, but I would definitely recommend the amatriciana, the gnocchi and the ossobuco.

I was in Rome for work and my boss took the group to dinner here. It was such a fantastic introduction to true Italian food. We had several plates of «appetizers» to start with. Then came two courses of pasta. And then we come to the main courses of meats. Somehow I still found room at the end for a dish of their lemon gelato. It was all very good. Probably the most memorable will be the plate of white pasta. It looked so simple. But the al dente-​ness of it was like nothing I had before in the US. And it was just pasta, oil, some cheese, and black pepper. So simple.
As for service it’s hard to tell as we were a really really large group. They weren’t very good at serving the wine. It always landed at the same point on the table. Some people were well-​lubricated while the other end stayed quite thirsty.

This was a spectacular meal. I got the recommendation from the Eat Italy app that was a spot on tool for our gastronomical trip through Italy. The rigatoni carbonara is not to be missed. Only one of you will get the bowl it’s mixed in, so fight over it! A surprise was the lovely al brodo with bucatini. My 11 year old was in heaven, but graciously shared a bit. Delicious! Wait staff was great. Very traditional place so don’t expect modern anything. Fine by me. We need with a wild cherry tart and a bit of gelato. Do yourself a favor and go a bit out of your way to this wonderful Roman institution.

Let’s talk about my favourite restaurant in the entire world.
I work on a cruise ship. I’ve been to 87 countries. I work hard, I play hard and I have to spend two hours in the gym each day because I love to eat.
When I’m docked in Civitavecchia, I wake up at crackhead o’clock in the morning, run off the ship as soon as we dock, walk to the train station and head to Perilli. It’s four hours, round-​trip, door to door. The carbonara is worth it. Salty and delicious, I literally wipe the bowl clean with the bread.
I’m vaguely in love with my favourite waiter, Valerio. He’s about 65, has been working here since I was born and will not take any nonsense from anyone. Seriously. I brought a friend from South Africa and he ordered a bourbon and coke with lunch (common in SA, I guess). Valerio’s response? «No. We don’t do that here. You can have wine or beer. Your choice.»
Come here. Order the prosciutto and mozzarella to start. Carbonara for your main. Tiny strawberries, limoncello and coffee for dessert. Come to think of it, In five years of eating here, I’ve never had dessert because I’m always so full.
If you’re well-​behaved, tell Valerio I sent you.

Atención, comida, postre… Toda una experiencia!
Si quieres hablar español, pregunta por Valerio! Es un mesero increíble…
Sin duda Bucatini alla Amatriciana, pasta típica de la zona, el «tocino» en italia es pura carne!
El postre (a sugerencia) fué la mejor sorpresa… Crema di Zabbaione lleva unas fresitas al tope que lo hacen delicioos, ligero e inolvidable.
Por supuesto, el cierre perfecto con un espresso italiano.
OJO siempre mejor reservar por que las cenas están al tope!

Good ol’ Roman food and service. Our last evening in Rome, we had our most memorable meal here — and the most consistent quality from dish to dish. We especially liked the artichoke and sweetbread. Ask the waiter’s opinion and respect it! (Because your mouth will thank you.) Aside from the food itself, we had a wonderful evening with our waiter, a hilarious and sweet gentleman.

Outstanding, the food was great and the service was super. We had several dishes including two main dishes plus wine and the bill was less than 70 euros. The Unilocal site indicates it opens at 7:00 but doesn’t open until 7:30 but our extra wait was well worth it. The carbonara was the the best I’ve ever had.
It is advisable to make reservations since it fills up quickly.
It is close to the metro blue line so easy to get to!

This was one of our best meals in Rome. Period.
Located in the off skirts of central Rome, this is a must do. It’s an old-​school establishment where the gentlemen servers still wear white dress shirts, bow ties, and the service is spectacular. They will bring you the delicious pasta beside your table, toss it, and serve you. Judging by the other patrons on a Sunday afternoon, locals eat here.
And the food?
AMAZZZZING!
The most popular dish here is the Rigatoni Carbonara and it is seriously second to none. It’s cooked al dente and the sauce, flavors, and the crispy pancetta bits were the perfect combination. The serving is huge so come hungry so you can also enjoy a secondi!
I had the buccatini amatriciana which was also delicious. The fat pasta noodles were hollow inside and since it was cooked al dente it was a little chewy. The red sauce was subtle but fresh and flavorful and this also had crispy pancetta. It was amazing!
The oxtail was cooked tender and literally fell off the bone. It was braised in a tomato base and each order had 3 – 4 pieces. Very hearty! And the baked lamb chop? It looked like a shank bone instead of an american Chop. It was huge and came with a side of potatoes.
Needless to say, we were way too full for our secondis after our large pastas.
All this food with a bottle of red wine came out to about 70 euros which is seriously a deal when you consider it to be one of the best pastas in Rome. Perilli cannot, must not be missed! I can’t wait to go back!!!

After doing some research for some of the best Roman spots for carbonara, I decided to go with Perilli. It lived up to my expectations. I had our hotel make a reservation, which I would recommend, as this place was very crowded. As other Unilocalers mentioned, this place has not changed much throughout the years. It is a great experience. My husband and I both ordered the carbonara, it was a delicious mixture of gooey and cheesy heaven. I was the lucky one who ended up with the serving bowl so I had some extra sauce on the bottom. Delicious night.

Great old school place. The waiters are a kick because they clearly approve or disapprove of your choices. The food was very good. The place was a very old building with lots of old wood and tile. A little noisy and pretty crowded, it is clearly not a tourist hot spot but the Romans love it.

I think this place was established in 1911. Not much has changed, including the waiters. It’s very old school Italian, in the best way possible. Mostly locals, including some kids who could probably drink me under the table. I love Italy.
Prosciutto and mozzarella
Rigatoni carbonara– this. Was. Amazing.
Involtini– thin steak rolled with ham and celery, with red sauce and white beans
Puntarella Caesar– a perfect contrast to the rest of the meal. Need to make this happen more.

Really old «trattoria» in Testaccio neighborhood. Casual and non touristy.
Go there and ask for «carbonara», nothing else. Best in town.
