WARNING: DO NOT WATCH ON EMPTY STOMACH! 🤣
Your Italian is really good, were you born in Italy?
Me and my partner went to tonnerello but the other one as this one was to full it was lovely especially the oxtail meatballs and lasagne, We will definitely go to this one next time
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when I had to sneeze. We're going to be in Trastevere in April, and we appreciate the review.
I went solo to this place & was pretty hesitant but the people there made me really comfortable. Amazing with recommendations and the pasta portion was just huge. Had it for diner as well. Love Italy ❤️
I personally look for much smaller restaurants that aren’t on significant piazzi to eat.
A small place on a lesser piazza or down a narrow street whose patrons are speaking Italian and whose menus are limited to a few items in each piatti is my set of criteria.
Yep, that's a good strategy!
Great video! I went with my parents and was lucky to find a table really quick. We went on the second branch, I was not aware that there was the other one, only after we passed through. Also, I was not aware of the hype, so we went because of the good reviews but didn´t know it was such a historical place. The food was really awesome and they are super nice as well. It definitelly deserves the praise and fame.
Thanks for sharing brother!
Another great post, thank you. Have to giggle at your complaint of only one meat ball with you saying you were so full and couldn't eat anymore. How could you have eaten a second one??!!!😅
Good point;)
Eccellente, grazie!
You did a real good video.Thanks.
THANK YOU GREAT VIDEO.
Loving your content Italian Guy! We ate at the original Tonnarello in May. I ordered 2 meatballs, we found them so awful no one wanted to finish them. It was our second to worst meal in our 2 weeks in Italy. We are NY Italian American so we have an appreciation for the cuisine. My tip for tourists is don't go to any of the "tourist recommended" restaurants. Ask your concierge, tour guides, taxi drivers or any local you meet for a recommendation.
Two for sure.
Get their cacio e Pepe or carbonara. That’s one of my favorite restaurants in Rome.
In Rome/Italy nobody would put meatballs in their pasta. I'm not saying that it does not taste good, but that is just not a roman/italian thing. Pasta is part of the first course of a meal (also called "primo"). Meat balls are "secondo" or second course. We eat them separately, never together...
Never claimed otherwise :)
Almost ate here, then decided against it for some reason I can't remember. Walked a few minutes, saw a place in a smaller square filled with locals. Place was called Osteria Bacco. Had an excellent Sunday lunch there. Paid less than 20 euros for pasta and wine.
We stuck with Trattoria Vecchia Roma on our recent trip. Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, what else is there!
Does the appearance of spaghetti and meatballs prove it's touristy? I always heard that's an American thing. I really need to try those artichokes next trip! It's been nearly 4 yrs since I was in Rome but I think I remember walking by this place and its long line of folks waiting.
Of course it's touristy. But it's also very tasty!
This one is the one the Italians love
Was in trastevere last year. Had a good fixed menu somewhere. An Italian told me to be careful in Trastevere next time. Is there crime?
Not that I'm aware of.
100 year old restaurant with great reviews.......you choose to wear a t-shirt that has seen better days......class!
The artichokes… do you eat the entire thing?
Yes!
I was under the impression spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American invention . Looks good , but why didn't they give you a plate ? Eating out of a pan would be like balancing a ball on my nose for me.
My wife and I ate here last night. It’s not that amazing. We had a much better meal at Mozzichi up the street. The meatball was the best part, but the pasta amatriciana lacked flavor and freshness - it tasted like it was from a jar. 😢
Sorry to hear that! I'll try Mozzichi next time
Great video as usual. I see Tonnarello is catering to American tourists as spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American invention
Mejor solo Que mal acompańado 😁🤝
Why would you choose to have Fried Artichoke when it is not in season?!?
I plead guilty, hang me!
Do you understand these restaurants are making pasta with meatballs for the american turists, right? There's no "fettuccine all'Afredo" in Italy, it's an italian-american thing but they know you expect it and so they offer it. I would recommend instead one of the countless typical roman dishes (amatriciana, carbonara, coda alla vaccinara, cacio e pepe to name a few)
no one in Rome eat pasta with meat ball in this way. you can find baked pasta with meat ball...not in restaurant...
i thought the pasta dish had too much sauce
According to their website, they don't take reservations.
Expensive? Man, Im from Serbia, not a rich country as anyone would guess, and I was at this restaurant in March 2023, with my brother and two friends. Four meals and four drinks (wine and beer) were 70 euros. My lasagna was 10 euros, really tasty and really nice portion.
How is that expensive?
I think its good value you want good food in Rome you pay the price, Me and my partner stayed in Rome for 5 nights and made 300 euros for food last us
this make my stomach go m m mmmm
I thought the same thing as soon as i saw it, ONE MEATBALL????? LOL
As soon as I saw spaghetti and meatballs, I'm out.
dude you only need to mention the single meatball once - holy cow we get it only 1 meatball
I do not understand the hype. It was my very first lunch in Rome, and was fogetable, just ok. I didn't even remember the name of the restaurant, I watch your video and I realized that I've been there. Not planning coming back.
Everyone has different tastes me and my partner loved it
Too much sauce on the pasta. Looks American!
Yeah it’s overhyped, I’m from Rome I would never recommend Tonnarello to no one
Oh man just a video of you talking, just show the food
Dirty graffiti everywhere on the walk over
Food looks good
Sorry
