Excellent! This was the best meal we have had in Rome. After touring the Colosseum with the underground tour, we ate here at La Taverna Dei Quartana. My wife had the special with feticinni and mushrooms– yum! I had the fried cod with zucchini and potatoes– yum. We recommend both. For the fried cod, I removed the bottom skin and everything was delicious. Also, our whole meal was under 30 euros.

This place was a little off the beaten path. Not over run with tourists. The food was very good, the service was good as well. We learned fast that a first course is enough for us. We tried the fried cheese, but actually prefer the American version.

My first stop after getting to Rome tired and not in the best of moods. This was right around the corner from the flat I rented, and it was open. VERY local place. The gruff but friendly (ie Roman) owner welcomed us in and his son waited on us. A pitcher of house red was brought and some decent bread. No idea what the house red was but it was just fine, and most likely that good basic red wine made in the Lazio region that rarely gets exported.
Friend ordered «cacio y pepe,» that signature dish of pasta, pecorino and black pepper and pronounced it great. I had another Roman dish, oxtail stew. About half the oxtail pieces were chewy, but tasty. The sauce was to die for… incredibly rich and concentrated.
Less successful was the antipasti plate consisting of all deep fried items. Now I noticed locals ordering this too, and I can appreciate their appreciation for it, but it just wasn’t for me.
Décor was old, woody and comfortable. If you want a feel for how locals live, this is a good start.

Overall really nice experience for lunch after the Coliseo. Me my wife and two small children found the place on Unilocal.The prices are great. The ambiance was really nice. The wait staff were all very nice and helpful as well. We had the bruschetta and the fried cheese. Bothe were excellent. I had the calzone and my wife had a pizza. Both were delicious, large and satisfying. My son who has dairy allergies had a cheese less pizza that was also very good. We also had a liter of the house wine that was really good. Definitely recommend for lunch after a busy time touring the Coliseo and Foro Romano.

WARNING! Definitely people not to be trusted! We parked across the street from this restaurant and ate here, spoke perfect English… outdoor tables with wait staff all around. Our car was smashed into, all 9 pieces of huge luggage taken and they saw the entire process. We went to them for assistance in finding police, pretended not an English word could be understood. Spoke in Italian and they simply turned their backs.
Definitely part of the new problems of theft and safety in Italy. Support them by eating here, you support the crime and their cuts.

Best food we had in the 3 days we were visiting Rome! We tried pizza, pasta and a couple appetizers & everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

I totally recommend this place! Even though it’s very close to the Coliseum, it’s far from an overpriced tourist trap. My brother had a Pizza caprichosa and I got myself Tallarines a la bolognesa. Everything was delicious and portions were outstanding. Everyone in the restaurant was very friendly and actually our waiter made us laugh more than once with her spontaneous jokes and friendly interactions while making sure we were well attended. We paired our meal with a liter of the house white wine. Lastly, the homemade Tiramisu is a must.

This was such a happy accident to stumble upon this little joint. My fiancé and I had spent a very hot day touring the Colosseum and were famished after our long tour. Our guide had recommended a place that we couldn’t find, but this place looked good and it was a short trek from behind the Colosseum.
Inside the décor was simple and traditional. We were greeted promptly and given still water and menus.
I ordered some sort of arrabbiata on fettuccini; just a simple, spicy pasta dish. I was delighted to find that this was some of the best, homemade pasta and sauce that I had experienced on the whole trip across France and Italy.
This is a little off the beaten path which made it a nice, quieter stop. This is well worth the visit.
PS. I should add that my fiancé had the oxtail which he thought was delicious, as well.

This was a great find. The food is amongst the best I’ve ever had in Italy. And the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this place

Nice cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The prices are hard to beat in this area and the bruschetta was good.
I ordered the fried cheese based off of the waiter’s recommendation, but wouldn’t recommend it.
The house red wine left us feeling a little disappointed, but the food we ordered (ravioli and spicy pasta) was really good and filling. Great place to go to fill up. Family friendly too!

This is a great spot for a quick casual meal. The large light-​filled dining room feels homey, and the place is friendly and family-​run. The food is very good Roman cooking – I enjoyed pasta with tomato sauce and oxtail (greasy but comforting cucina povera) and puntarelle which were a bit limp but still good. Prices are extremely reasonable. I look forward to returning!

A quaint unassuming charming little restaurant right by the Colesseum! We had a little difficulty communicating with the waitress since we did not speak Italian, but we managed. The food was good. Definitely eat here when visiting Rome!

Looking for a place to grab dinner Capo D’Africa and based on Unilocal reviews ended up at Taverna dei Quaranta. Thank you!!!
Amazing appetizers, followed by primi and secondi… With house wine flowing all the way! I really wanted to eat all of my husband’s order of the carbonara… but held back! :-) Never again! I will be back if I had an option… And most of all our great experience was under $ 65.

We were looking for a nice place to eat around the Colosseum whilst we waited for the sun to go down, when we stumbled across this place with a little help from Unilocal…
I can not fault this place, the service was prompt and attentive. The food was great. We started with Zuchinni flowers and a focaccia and moved into home made pasta with chilli and cheese and a pizza. Taste was sensational and better then a lot of meals we have had in Rome. Price was exceptional coming in at 37 Euro for this and a litre of house red.
I highly recommend this place.

Eine Empfehlung einer Freundin die einige Jahre in Rom gewohnt hat. Tolles Essen und gemütliches Ambiente bei einem für römische Verhältnisse angemessenem Preis. Der Wein war gut und nicht gepanscht. Servis und Freundlichkeit war sehr gut. Eine echte Empfehlung für den Rom-​Besucher.

Absolutely loved this place! Ended up going here twice during our visit.
It’s near the Colosseo but it’s not very touristy.
They have amazing bruschetta where the bread is slightly burned on the edges. We also had a roasted eggplant dish that was amazing.
We got a meatball appetizer with roasted potatoes that was also terrific.
They had a breaded fried anchovy with sun-​dried tomatos appetizer that was out of this world.
And of course the pasta dishes were also very good.
Price wise it was very affordable. About $ 40 for 2 people and that included wine, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes and 1 desert!
Overall, this was probably our favorite restaurant out of the ones we tried.

Rome is such a beautiful place to visit anytime of the year. The culture is truly magnifico likewise the food. This describes everything about Rome– La vita è bella. My husband likes to do a lot of browsing and researching particularly when it comes to hidden gems. Taverna dei Quaranta is one of those traditional Roman restaurants that will win you over with their home cooked and freshly prepared cuisines. We each had an appetizer of the Bruschetta with tomatoes that was warmly recommended by the owner’s wife. I had the Fried Cod with apples and Zucchini that is a known local favorite. Just be forewarned of the fish bones. My husband had their Pappardelle with shepherdess. The pappardelle pasta was a rich, thick and creamy fettuccine that goes perfectly with the sauce. I honestly wish we made room for desserts but their food was just too good! So we settled for two cups of cappuccino before departing for the day. I def recommend to learn some Italian to actually read the menus and locate the city better. This is a regional experience not be a missed when in Rome!
