Marco himself is a trip--a smooth operator who coos the specials in your ear and makes you feel like he designed them just for you. We had the special meat antipasto with 3 separate (and tasty) kinds of Bufala mozzarella--the best, and 4 or 5 different types of Italian cold cuts, also the best. Cous cous and bruschetta came with... More

We were staying in the area and had walked by this place a couple of times as it looked like most other places. We looked on tripadvisor and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed in the least. We had already been in Rome for six days so had many places to compare. This was the best. The... More

Like everyone else, we loved MG. First time last night - we could easily tell how skilled and professional they are. Well paced service, excellent environment, welcoming. We're back there in a couple of days.

My husband and I went to Rome for a long weekend and we came across Marco G, just two doors away from the apartment we were staying in. Trastevere has some great restaurants but this one was the best we tried while in Rome. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and beautifully presented and the tiramisu was... More

Knew I was going to be in Trastevere for the day and wanted to find some authentic Roman food, and found this one not too far from my planned route. So glad I did! First arrived a little too early, and was politely informed that they were opening in an hour or so, so a short trip round the corner... More

We sometimes wonder how Marco always manages to exceed our expectations every time we visit.He is as usual a perfect host and welcomes us as special guests the same as he does to all who eat in his wonderful restaurant. We love his menu but often say we would like him to choose and always have the most wonderful meal.... More

Our most recent trip to Rome was the first time we stayed in Trastevere. We were hoping to find some good local, non-touristy places to eat. Marco G fit the bill. This simple, straightforward and lovely trattoria/restaurant serves delicious food. The stone walls and archways created the romantic ambience of a wine cellar. The four of us each tried something...

We recently went to MarcoG with several Italian friends who recommended it to us as a place in Rome where Romans eat. Appetizers were tasty, the smoked mozzerella excellent, good speck, the pasta some of the best, most fresh and real tasting I've had anywhere, and probably the best tiramasu I've had in Italy. Atmosphere is tastefully decorated, authentic, but... More

TripAdvisor has this one right. Very simple recipe for success: good food, good service, charming atmosphere. An attentive, hands on owner. Loved the fact that we were recommended a local, inexpensive wine that was the equal of many more expensive wines we had on our trip. Great place!
