Myself and my partner visited da enzo tonight & felt we had to leave a review! I found da enzo through social media, its clearly received alot of attention recently as the queue was a 2 hour long wait for some people. We got there...around 20 minutes before it opened and managed to get seated in the first wave of people. We both agreed after the meal that we would have been severely disappointed if we had waited longer than 20 mins. The restaurant is small and nothing special. We were seated outside, which wasn’t great and felt like we were being watched by the long queue of people also waiting for a table/us to leave. They’ve expanded the restaurant to the street outside, so most customers were also sat here. We were sat right next to other people around us, which killed the romantic vibe. Since it was so popular, we decided to order quite a few dishes: The burrata - Nice flavour, tasted fresh, probably the best dish, fresh tomatoes The Amatriciana- completely average, felt I could have made it at home, quite a bland pasta sauce, we felt we could have had this dish in any english restaurant, random bits of guanciale fat floating in sauce, the best of the pasta dishes we had but still underwhelming The carbonara- bland, average with very fatty guanciale, over salted, pasta was average, The cacio e pepe- rubbery pasta, drenched in low quality pepper, the worst of the three pasta dishes We found the food to be very average and disappointingly not worth the hype/wait. The house red was also average. We spent around €70 on this meal, and felt quite disappointed leaving. The restaurant also had very few actual Italians in (probably a warning sign) and was flooded with loud americans who had also found the restaurant online. Wont be trusting social media for restaurant reviews again! Much nicer places to visit in trastevere and rome, dont believe the hype! Not to be a snob but - anyone who has had half decent food won’t enjoy da enzo. Such a shame!More

waited from 610pm...huge queue formed behind us and was very excited that it must be going to be an amazing experience.... trying to be objective BUT at 710 finally they started admitting guests to tables.... crammed in like sardines... basket of bread on the table..... averageq ordered cod/potato croquettes...average.. fried artichoke...average wanted to try the traditional dishes...so Saltimbocca and meatballs were ordered. Saltimbocca Alla Romana at 22 euros was 2 slices of veal in butter with one leaf of sage and a side portion of spicy spinach....Very AVERAGE...not nice enough to finish..the spinach was very chili hot...q meatballs... 14 euros for 3 average sized meatballs in a tomato sauceq and nothing else.... nice enough but definitely more akin to a starter!!! tiramasu all around for dessert.... quite wet cream with a sprinkling of 'Nutella' and unsoaked sponge fingers... Very average house wine was ok.. nothing special but palatable enough so to be clear...distinctly average meal...not sure why it merits the queues and hype... won't be rushing back.More

The hour wait in line was worth it! The friend artichoke, carbonara, meatballs and wine paring were recommended to us by our Florence tour guide, and were the perfect way to spend our last meal in Rome/Italy here. The staff was kind, professional and really...efficient, and added personal touches in all of our interactions with them. We were impressed by how the host expertly handled someone rudely complaining about something out of their control (in line), after being served drinks while they wait, and were amazed at how she remembered so many people's drink orders as she ran back and forth from the restaurant to serve people who weren't even seated yet. Highly recommend!More

Amazing food- best we had in Rome. Recommend the burrata and cannelloni- so tasty. Yes they serve fast but they do in all popular restaurants in Rome. We got to restaurant at 6.35pm and were 15th in line and were seated when it opened. Aim...to get there for first sitting - quicker in long run!More

We were there about 2 hours befor the opening. Got the information that the reservation is unpossible and we should come back 45 minutes before the 7 because the are busy. We were there at 6 pm again and started to stand in line. There...were sitting a 10-12 people team on the terrase. A lady served drinks for the waiting people on the street. Half hour before the time came a group with a guide, loud greetings and they sat down to the tables and the waiters started to serve to them the drinks and foods. We could see them… After 40 minutes waiting we decided to leave. Probably the kitchen would excellent, but the management and the hospitality seemed me terrible.More

Decided to check Da Enzo out after a number of recommendations from various sources. Knew there would be a queue and was happy to wait for almost an hour to get a table, There's a great buzz in the place and the food was priced...mid-range. Ordered shortly after sitting down including a bottle of wine. Starters arrived quickly and were very tasty. My wife had literally put the last piece of her starter in her mouth when the main arrived. Again food was good but it was just after the starters without a chance to take a breadth. No sooner has we finished the mains than the desert menus arrived. Asked for a 5 min breather then order a tiramisu. Bill was placed on the table shortly after that and we really felt like we had to gulp our wine down and move on. For a place that gets great reviews and is clearly doing well from the popularity; it's a pity that the customer is treated like a commodity that needs to be shepherded through the establishment in the fastest time possible.More

If you're craving carbonara, this place should probably be at the top of your list. Warning, there was a long line when I came here, it took almost an hour to get a table. Must be a common experience, as they have servers come out...to the line and let you order drinks, and you can sip on something as you wait.More

We had dinner at Da Enzo several times last year and I am glad to report that it is still fantastic. As before, Da Enzo takes no reservations and you have to line up early for their 7:30pm opening, but it is worth it.

Da Enzo is easily one of the best restaurants in Trastevere and perhaps all of Rome. Clearly, it has established a strong following as anytime that we walked by the restaurant there was a long line of people waiting for a table. As the restaurant...does not accept reservations, we went on a weekday for lunch and arrived just before the restaurant was scheduled to open. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the food lived up to the hype as we enjoyed the artichoke alla guidea for an appetizer and two of the classic Roman pasta dishes - cacio e pepe and carbonara. All of the dishes were prepared well and were some of the best renditions that we tasted anywhere in Rome. The indoor dining room is very casual and the servers are friendly and efficient. There are also outdoor dining tables available. If you are in Trastavere, a meal at Da Enzo is a must.More
