We chose this place based on the reviews on TripAdvisor, and were not disappointed. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was lively and simple, and the food was great! It's the kind of place that you probably wouldn't look twice at walking by, but it's definitely worth checking out. More

Great food and lovely service next to the Trevi fontaine. We visited Rome off season, and it was one of the coolest nights of the year and although we arrived practically at closing time to an empty restaurant, we weren't turned down, but received proper service and decent freshly prepared food... Definitely worth a visit More

Revisited after one year and if anything the food has gotten even better. You will not beat this restaurant in central Rome for value and fantastic food. We ate there three times on this holiday, Brushetta, Antipasti, Various Pastas dishes, Pizzas, house wine were really good. Bottle of house wine at 9 Euro is great. Food delicious, our waiter, the...

Right on my way to Trevi Fountain, among the numerous tourist restaurants I stumbled upon this tiny hole of a restaurant, this is one of those situations where size does not matter! I honestly had a hard time finding a good restaurant in Rome since the city is littered with tourist traps and sub standard eateries! I was pleasantly surprised... More

Although there are a lot of places to eat in the center of Rome, we've been to this place twice because of its tasty food and friendly atmosphere. The manager doesn't let you be bored while you are waiting for your order. Salads are fresh and pizza is hot :). Recommended! More

We chose Piccolo Buco as our first dinner spot during our four-day stay in Rome. We chose it for the price, reviews, and location just a stone's throw away from the Trevi Fountain which is a MUST SEE at night. Of the 6 or 7 places we ate during our time in Rome, Piccolo Buco was undoubtedly our favorite. FIrst,... More
