Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Really friendly place! So welcoming and ready to host. Menu in Italian but hosts speak English. Food was so goood! Would recommend the journey out of central Rome"
"Osteria di nuova gestione, pizza e cucinato, buoni gli antipasti, primi della tradizione romana....spettacolari, buona la lista dei vini e ottimi I dolci. Personale preparato e molto disponibile. Prezzi in linea con altri locali della zona. Sicuramente un posto da frequentare e consigliare."
"This honestly was the highlight of my trip! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful. It was definitely more of a local food, but it was the best food we had while we were in Rome. The staff (owner? seemed very family run) was so kind and helpful! We felt super welcome. Would come back just for this!"
"This was a wonderful experience. Having come from Australia we really wanted to have a genuine Italian meal with all the Roma favourites we’ve read about, and this place did not disappoint. Alessandro was a fantastic host, super friendly and patient, and every suggestion of his was spot on. Cannot endorse this place highly enough."
"L'Osteria Portuense è un luogo che ti ricorda le trattorie di una volta. Cucina tradizionale con un sapore innovativo. Materie prime di qualità e tutto cucinato con armonia e passione. I fritti sono tutti di ottimo livello ben fatti, croccanti e gustosi. Il menù offre piatti della cucina romanesca, provateli perché sono tutti ottimi. Ho assaggiato anche gli spiedini e non mi sono lamentato. Ho provato anche la pizza e mi è piaciuta molto. I dolci non ti deluderanno anzi il bis è di obbligo. Complimenti allo staff insomma secondo me da inserire nel tour gastronomico romanesco."
"Nuova gestione strepitosa!! Finalmente quello che ci voleva! Un posto accogliente, personale super gentile e disponibile e cibo di ottima qualità! Un piacere andare da loro. Provare per credere! Fanno anche pizze a portar via e mia figlia non ha mai mangiato una pizza così buona finissima. Complimenti e in bocca al lupo ragazzi!"
"This restaurant is simply fabulous, the most friendly service I have experienced in Rome, had to come here every night late on the way home for a pizza They are just so accommodating and the fired oven is amazing. The first night we had already eaten and stopped for a glass of local wine so they gifted us a free pizza. That's not the reason for returning, genuine people great service and epic food."
"Bravi bravi bravi. Personale impeccabile. Tutti i miei piatti buonissimi. Unica cosa l’illuminazione. Troppo in alto e troppo diffusa (lampade da abbassare sui tavoli per creare l’atmosfera)."
