Le Grotte was a recommendation from a friend and it was a great one at that. The food so good and my wife and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The chocolate heart cake is a must have.

The dishes are great. if the service can be more attentive then it will be a plus.

A Perfect Roman Dinner Experience My wife, our baby, and I had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Le Grotte. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, especially toward our little one. The food was fantastic — we had traditional Roman dishes that were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The pasta was fresh, the wine selection was excellent, and the tiramisu was the perfect ending to a great meal. The ambiance was cozy and romantic, yet relaxed enough for a family. It’s not easy finding a place that feels right for both adults and kids, but Le Grotte got it just right. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Rome!

We arrived at 6 and place was empty so we got our choice of seating … full bar was not available for some reason but they did offer wine .

Had a great time eating here! The food was pretty good, but not quite sure what to compare it to yet as we haven't eaten elsewhere just yet, but overall we enjoyed it. The pizzas were great and the hand cut fries were very well salted and had great texture. We followed up with gelato for dessert and it was delicious, and very refreshing in the heat. Would recommend this as a laid back place for food, we sat outside and there were cars driving right past us occasionally, but this added to the authentic feel in my opinion.

We came across Le Grotte purely by chance. Thankfully, we decided to stop for dinner. The carbonara was one of the best I have ever tasted and the Dolcezza al Pistachio for desert was just exceptional. We also tried the lamb chops that just melted in your mouth and the tiramasu which again, was full of the classic flavour you would expect. If you are in Rome, this is definitely worth a visit!

Le Grotte in Rome offers a cozy, authentic atmosphere with delicious traditional Italian dishes. The friendly staff and charming cave-like setting

We had a great meal, especially the seafood salad starter and citrus chicken main. The service was also pleasant. We asked and were given an alcove table. Waiters smiled and were efficient enough. Particularly liked our slightly older waiter, with his glasses tucked down his apron front. All good.
