Reviews for La Tavernetta 29 da Tony e Andrea
Review highlights
Based on 4,711 reviewsLa Tavernetta 29 da Tony e Andrea is widely praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, with standout dishes like Amatriciana, Carbonara, and various meat options that receive particular acclaim for their flavor and quality. Customers appreciate the reasonable pricing and the effort staff make to accommodate groups despite the restaurant's limited seating. However, waiting times can be significant, especially during peak hours, which some find challenging but ultimately worthwhile given the food. Service is generally attentive and friendly, though occasional communication barriers arise due to limited English proficiency among staff. Overall, the restaurant is known for delivering memorable dining experiences with rich, well-prepared dishes, making it a favored spot for locals and tourists alike.
It’s a nice place with good quality food. We tried the Amatriciana and the Carbonara — both were really tasty! Now, on the negative side, it’s quite frustrating that the staff don’t speak any English. I don’t think it’s acceptable to work in the center of Rome and not be able to communicate with customers. Also, I’d suggest not leaving the grated Parmesan out for hours — cheese needs to be kept cool, otherwise it can go bad.
The food here is simply outstanding – absolutely unforgettable flavors that melt in your mouth. Although we waited about 1.5 hours for a table on the first day, we came back the next day just for the food. It was that good. We were a group of 8, and even though the restaurant doesn’t have tables that large, the staff made a real effort. The first day, they seated us close to each other, and the second day, they combined tables so we could all sit together. The staff were incredibly friendly and clearly professionals in what they do. The atmosphere is cozy and charming. The only downside was a small mistake on the bill – a few extra drinks were added, which we didn’t notice until later. But overall, the experience was excellent, and if I visit Rome again, I will definitely come back!
We arrived at 6pm for dinner and have to wait for a bit ~30 minutes but it was so worth it. The food was so good but my gnocchi was overcook and little bit too salty but that grilled lamb and the oxtail dish took over ! Juicy and tasty, potatoes was cook and seasoned to perfection. Price is also very cheap compare to other places, would highly reccommended!!!
We arrived a bit early to the lunch service and had to wait about 40 minutes in front of the restaurant, but we didn't mind it so much. When they sat us down, we were immediately greeted and attended by a wonderful waiter who was very funny and diligent. We ordered a couple of sides instead of appetizers (roasted potatoes and the zucchini), and then had a pasta carbonara and steak for the main course. All of the food was delicious and came with large portions. We were able to eat our leftovers for dinner later that evening at the airport because the quality was so good! At one point the chef came out and everyone applauded, he served another table his famous pasta carbonara and it was a great atmosphere. For dessert, our waiter gave us a free tiramisu to share and it was the perfect amount of sweetness to finish the meal. We will definitely go back anytime we're in Rome!
The food was awesome. I waited around 30 minutes for a table at 7 pm. However I understand the concept. If the waiter would not fight during service it would be great. I had the best steak in my life. I follow Tony since month on Instagram and it was good to wait. The best thing they are resonable pricing and the appron. Amazing
A highlight of our trip to Italy! We were fortunate to catch the restaurant just before closing on a Tuesday night. The service was fantastic, energetic and timely. The food was some of the best we had while in Italy. Mussels were off the chart good! Veal was phenomenal. Pasta was delicious. Thank you Chef Tony and the entire staff for a memorable evening!
Had such a great experience here! Food was absolutely delicious! We arrived when they first opened and were able to walk right in and be seated! Staff is very welcoming and friendly! Highly recommend this restaurant!
