On our day trip to Rome we purchased independent tours just with entry so that we can enjoy at our own pace . Of course we got lost and luckily in the subway we’ve asked for directions to the right person . Amazing Alessandro stopped and helped us find our way by walking with us ( as it was on his way ). Alessandro’s English was perfect as it turned out his husband was American so we took advantage and apart from directions we asked him to recommend us a good authentic place to eat . Turned out we asked the perfect person for that as he said “yes my friend Simona has a restaurant “ we were like ok where is it ? And he walked us there . Restaurant was closed when he showed us but was opening in 2 hrs just enough to finish our visit in the Pantheon . When restaurant open we got there and hoped to be seated as it is a very small restaurant. Simona was amazing and she gave us a table for 2 ( probably saw we were hungry and rained on ). AlI can say is oawwww . From the service to the food everything was just Oaw . My hubby had the Asparagus Truffle Risotto and I had the Carbonara . Just Oaw 🤤🤤. From the starters all the way to desert everything was simply perfectly delicious. If you ever find your self near the Pantheon I can not recommend this place enough , but I advise you to make a reservation first just to avoid disappointment. You will love it , everything from the service to the delicious food will give you an amazing authentic taste of the real Italian cuisine 🫶🫶🫶🫶. Good food is definitely worth waiting for !

Food was piping hot. With vegetables like funghi, asparagus and artichokes being very fresh. Tonnarelli was freshly made and so good with their pomodoro and funghi sauces. Highly recommend.

When you see mostly locals eating here. You know you are in the right place.

Found this little gem in an article online comparing it to eating in Mama’s kitchen. This is where the locals eat. Samona and Gabrielle were very sweet and the food is absolutely delicious! I will recommend this place and will visit any time my journey brings me through Rome.

If you're in Rome and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Ristorante Pietro Valentini. Our last night in the city was truly magical, thanks to this exceptional gem of a restaurant.

The Tagliata di Manzo was cooked to perfection, each bite a tender and flavorful delight that left us wanting more. The pasta dishes, especially those with truffle, were absolutely memorable, bursting with rich and savory flavors that highlight the mastery of the kitchen.

What truly sets Ristorante Pietro Valentini apart, however, is the warm and gracious hospitality of Simona. She made our experience extra special, frequently checking in on us and ensuring that everything was perfect. Her genuine care and attention made us feel like cherished guests.

Overall, Ristorante Pietro Valentini provided a perfect end to our Roman adventure. It's a place where the food, ambiance, and service come together to create an extraordinary dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome!
