Da Cesare Al Casaletto

The oxtail pasta that my wife and I both got were heavenly and the best pasta I had in Rome. The meat was very tender and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Their homemade ice cream and tiramisu were also delicious. I’ll be thinking about this meal for a very long time. Only downside was that their was no A/C inside so we sat outside, and it was pretty hot even though we were in the shade.

Incredible local spot. Made the journey to this local neighbourhood and did not disappoint. Food and service were fantastic, vibes were great on patio, not too loud but still lively. Thank you to our server she was amazing. Ordered a bunch of pasta the ox tail and lamb carbonara and ravioli all were delicious. Also much more affordable then other areas.

We booked for Sunday lunch and came hungry so we could try two courses! The restaurant has a neighborhood vibe and was packed with locals enjoying the food. My meal was great - fried gnocchi with cheese and pepper was a great start, crisp and crunchy Ina cheesy sauce. Then rigatoni pasta with an fresh tomato Amatriciana sauce, again perfect pasta, perfect sauce. Then my veal steak - seared to perfection, juicy, lemony, soft, meaty and a perfect end to the meal. I wish I'd had more room for dessert as the ones I saw looked beautiful! Recommended for a real family restaurant experience with great food.

Our main dishes of the evening were rigatoni alla Matriciana (that’s how it was spelled), gnocchi alla coda vaccinara and tonnarelli a la gricia. These were delicious with noted qualifications that the guanciale pieces with the tonnarelli were judged too large (!), the gnocchi were assessed under-salted while the coda vaccinara sauce seemed a little thin, and my serving of rigatoni was enormous (no complaint there).
