Da Vito e Dina

This is the best place ever, Vito introduced himself and spoke with us. It made it such an amazing environment. Very attentive, the family who owns it is so nice. Food was amazing and cheap. Definitely geared towards tourists, but still some of the best genuine Italian food I had in Rome. We went there three times in two weeks. If I go to Rome again, I'm planning on going back.

Our driver suggested this place. It's good and the owners are busy working too! Good food and great people.

Meh.
We went based on past reviews and were disappointed. The Caprese salad was good, the highlight of the evening. It could have used a little more fresh basil I thought. My wife's Prosciutto pizza was okay. The crust a tad undercooked. My veal saltimbocca was 4 pieces of dry flavorless veal in a runny brown sauce with prosciutto on top. Immediately forgettable. I watched a never smiling woman (Dina?) come out to set an empty plate in front of a guest, notice one was dirty, rub her finger across it and then set it down in front of them anyway.
A sad culinary welcome to the Prati District.

After our first full day in Rome and being drenched with rain and hail while waiting for our bus, we were miserable, exhausted, and hungry. Found this place through Yelp and we were able to sit down shortly after they opened. Service was great, the waiter was so friendly and helpful. He helped me decide on the spaghetti carbonara as my main entree.

We had a delicious caprese and fried potato croquettes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their pasta, and it was one of our highlights of our trip. My carbonara was most excellent except I hadn't separated the noodles as much which caused the egg to get scrambled. We ended with a cheese plate and panna cotta, and both were exceptional!

Highly recommend if you are in this neighborhood!

We ate here 2 nights ago & enjoyed our entire meal. This would have been a positive review. However, we returned tonight hoping to enjoy the Sgroppino dessert drinks w our young adult children. We were greeted & I explained we were hoping to have some Sgroppinos. The man very rudely said, "It's a dessert!" I said, "Yes, we would like to have some." He said, "No. This is a restaurant." I replied, "Yes, we were here the other night & enjoyed some & were wanting to have some more." He said, "No! Sorry." I said, "So you are not interested in serving us as customers? Ok, great. Nice service!" Many restaurants in Italy are known for being places to stop for a before/after dinner drink. This restaurant refused our service tonight and, therefore, our money & our positive review. It's a shame a business turns away a returning customer who came back specifically for one of their menu items. My advice would be to avoid this place since they seem to not be interested in serving return customers.

The service and food was excellent. Everyone was friendly and food was fresh, highly recommended. If you ever in the neighborhood make sure to in to enjoy lunch or dinner, it is superb.
Our daughter recommended the restaurant because she stayed many times nearby during a period of times and the AirBnB host recommended it to her because of the value and service.

A nice place to stop for lunch before the Vatican Museum. We didn't feel like a big meal for lunch so we ordered a variety of antipasti. We got the procuttio e melon, caprese, grilled vegetables, suppli, and focaccia. Everything tasted very good and fresh. Our waiter was very polite and attentive.

So delicious. We started with potato croquettes- lovely! Not spicy but delicious in potato-y goodness. Also tried the fried artichoke and it was just wonderful. Then we segued to pasta. I had the carbonara and my husband had the clams. My was purely wonderful. Like eggs Benedict on spaghetti- that's the closest I can get to the taste. The pork is crispy and delicious. The clams are simple. Not highly spiced. Very pretty presentation. After dinner my husband had tiramisu and I had panna cotta with forest fruits and espresso. We ordered the vin rosso- 1/2 liter- and it was super. I think it was 6 euro and it was great! Seriously decadent meal at the great price of 51.50. Since a picture is worth a 1000 words see my pictures. Although I was so excited about the dessert we got half way through before I remembered to photograph it.

Edit- Second trip- back for dinner- had 2 salads, one big one little, delicious! 2 fried artichokes, a dish of chicory, some croquettes (this time the ones with olives!). Then we had oxtail ragu and beef strips with asparagus- everything was good, but those fried artichokes! And the oxtail ragu was pretty amazing. Loved the limoncello also- better than anything I've had in the states.

Went here today for lunch and got the best pasta I've ever had in my life. I ordered the Cacio Pepe, and let me tell I don't regret a thing, the staff was incredibly nice and the food is to die for. If your In Rome Italy you have to go here

Cena Magnifico da H'Osteria da Vito & Dina's!! I highly recommend this place in Rome! The food was amazing! The house wine was superb! And the owners are sooo nice and hospitable! It really felt like we were having dinner at their home. Which the restaurant pretty much is, since they spend more time there then at home. I've spent a month living in an apt right next door, passing them everyday, and have gotten to know them, and can confidently say they take pride in every person they serve at their restaurant. Check them out next time you're in Rome. #labellavita #cincin
