A good option if you are around. We visited around 6.30 on a thursday and there was only 2 people eating there. It wasn’t a good first impression because most of the other trattorias around was full. It turned out to be a wrong impression. The service was great. Carbonara was classic and well made, and eggplant parmigiana was so delicious. Don’t hesitate to give it a try.

Amazing place, the staff is super friendly and there was no wait to get a table, even though there were many people already eating inside. The carbonara with truffles is delicious. Strongly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding! I had the pasta all’amatriciana senza glutine at Trattoria al Gallinaccio, and it was nothing short of incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the texture of the gluten-free pasta was spot-on, and you could truly taste the care put into every detail. The service was top-notch as well. warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. A wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

Great place with excellent food! It was near the centre and literally a hidden gem. The food was so good and cheap for how big the portions were as well. The serving was amazing too and we had a wonderful time!

The food here is delicious. Best focaccia bread I’ve ever tasted, crispy light and airy. I had the mushroom pasta, eggplant Parmesan, fritura plate which is fried shrimp and calamari, tiramisu was soooooo good. We ate here twice while in Rome for 4 days. Give it a try, you won’t regret it and may find yourself coming back the next day.
