Pierluigi Roma Reviews
Classy Place for Classy Folks!!
Absolutely fantastic food and service. A truly memorable dinner in a unique old Roman environment. Great for an upscale family dinner!
The place excellent and the service good
I had spaghetti con vongole yesterday and the vongole were two and very small! What a shame!!! The food of my husband was good! I expected so much more!
Arrogant staff. Who needs it?
Very arrogant staff so although the food was good (it should be for €185 for two people fur two courses - and this was after I told them to take the service off at the time I asked for the bill) We asked for the wine list several times and were just left ignored. I am a confident and actually quite wealthy person but they judged us by their own - whatever - standards as not worthy of their attention. Don’t bother going. We only went there as we were foolish not to have made a reservation anywhere else and it was the only restaurant that had a table.
Don’t bother
Arrogant- don’t bother. This place used to be great 8 years ago but no longer. Unfortunately like much of Rome this is also no longer a place to go. It’s like an ancient ruin- ps the bathrooms are also very dirty. Not a good calling card!
Bad service and expensive
We were recommended this place by a Roman friend, but it did not live up to expectations in any way! Bad service and very expensive. The food was ok, but not more than that.
Very poor value for money.
A cuisine not at all up to the prices charged: the worst pasta of our entire stay in Rome. The presentation and setting do not match the contents of the plates.
A must in Rome.
We loved this place. Had been recommended by Roman friends, and is famous. It's understated chic, service was warm and friendly, the waiters brought me a birthday cake and they all sang Happy Birthday in Italian to me. A must.
Fish Fish Fish!
Server and Somme both very dynamic Like other places in Italy I never felt upsold in fact there was a tendency to suggest wine or menu item less expensive or to steer away from an item they didn’t think was that great. We had delicious langoustines and all our entrees were excellent. The spaghetti with clams were yummy.
Not great
Unfortunately this was not the experience we had expected. Made to feel uncomfortable, far from welcoming! Food was ok, nothing to shout about. Very expensive and disappointing lunch.
Exceptional
I don't think we can add anything else to the history of this name. But we can certainly confirm that everything that is said around is true…the BEST restaurant in Rome!! Good, polite, good, friendly, and excellent food, from starters to desserts, fantastic wine list. Without words really, congratulations
Great variety of fish in a small square in the center of Rome
Well-frequented restaurant in a small square near Piazza Farnese. I recommend the Catalan prawns, the fried cappelletti, the octopus soppressata, the lobster packets, the vermicelli with clams and the fregola with razor clams and lemon. The cellar is excellent and the service is fast and attentive. The interior is a bit modern and there is a nice outdoor area.
Total disappointment
Whole scene. Banal, sloppy dishes, service like a tourist restaurant, prices like a starred restaurant. You only pay for the position.
Underwhelming Experience at Pierluigi
Upon arrival at Pierluigi, our anticipation was met with an immediate setback as our pre-booked reserved table was not ready. The 20-minute delay in seating, while somewhat forgivable in a bustling eatery, set a precedent for the evening's service and atmosphere that was less than ideal. Once seated, we found ourselves relegated to a cramped corner in the establishment's back room—a location that seemed more an afterthought than a premeditated dining space. This unfortunate positioning detracted from the ambience and made us feel disconnected from the main dining areas and, more importantly, the overall Italian experience we had envisioned. The service did little to uplift our spirits. Our waiter, displaying a distinctly nonchalant demeanour, attended to our needs with disinterest bordering on neglect. This lack of engagement was disappointing, as attentive service is a cornerstone of a memorable dining experience, particularly in establishments that aim to replicate the warmth and hospitality of an Italian trattoria. The culinary highlight of the evening, the pasta vongole, fell short of expectations. The dish, renowned for its succulent clams bathed in a savoury broth, was presented with clams so few and diminutive that they were lost amidst the pasta layered with the taste of starch. This deviation from the dish's hearty, sea-forward essence was a missed opportunity to redeem the evening's earlier missteps. Furthermore, the ambience was marred by a music soundtrack that failed to echo the authentic Italian trattoria experience. The pop music, dated and incongruous with the setting, failed to complement the culinary journey, instead serving as a discordant backdrop to an already disjointed experience. In conclusion, our visit to Pierluigi was marked by a series of disappointments—from the initial delay and seating arrangement to the lacklustre service and culinary offerings. While every restaurant can have an off night, I hope that Pierluigi can address these issues better to reflect the charming and vibrant spirit of Italian dining.
Excellent restaurant worthy of its reputation, very nice, educated clientele, impeccable service, incredible food
Very good address, very chic, elegant, the varied menu, a special mention for the waiter Umberto, an emblematic figure of this restaurant who gave us good advice, the sunny terrace, the impeccable service, the perfect food, we make you what you want, can't wait to go back
Best meal in Rome
My husband and I ate at Pierluigi on our last night in Rome and it did not disappoint. We started with pasta with langostinos in the most fabulous sauce. It was truly spectacular. Then we both had Sole meunière, which was absolutely out of this world. This is a special restaurant and a must go to in Rome.
Overpriced and arrogant
We celebrated our son's (14) birthday and had already asked for streamers as decoration. Unfortunately, there was nothing like that to be seen. The place setting was fried pasta sheets or something similar with some kind of spread - it was not good. My husband had pasta (great fusilli) with porcini and black truffle, which was beyond reproach: price around 35 EUR. For the main course, 1.3 kg of Turbot al forno for 4 people for 160 EUR - the fish was excellent but the potatoes were not good and the olives were cheap. The service was overstaffed and only motivated by guests who you could see had money on their faces or women who belong to the see and be seen category.... There was definitely better food in the Mercato di Testaccio. A real shame for a bill of 330 euros with 2 glasses of wine and water.
Disappointed
Absolutely disgraceful service, food and management!!! €450 for 3 starters and 3 mains. Mine sent back Don’t spend your hard earned cash!!! Disappointed
Stylish restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food
I was a little skeptical about this place based on some of the reviews and decided to go anyway. It did not disappoint! My party had the Sakura steak dinner for two which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. It comes with a bearnaise sauce and a parsley purée. The parsley purée is next level. They have a sommelier who helps you pair your wine based on your personal preference and dish ordered. The staff were friendly and attentive! For dessert, we had the Millefoille with white chocolate, sour cherries and tangerine ice cream which had the perfect amount of sweetness, crunch and tanginess from the tangerine ice cream. Although we ordered the steak, they have a good selection of fish and seafood options. I definitely would return.
Take advantage of Americans.
I heard many recommendations for this place, and was very disappointed in the end. The ambience is fancy, maybe a little stuffy, and I went in expecting to pay a lot for a good meal. When I asked about which pasta was better, the waiter talked us into doing a half split of each. This was confusing and apparently he ordered both pastas, similar in taste and charged us a split fee which cost 80Euro total. They weren’t even that good. He didn’t put in our order for seafood, charged us for bread we didn’t order and brought out a second bottle of water when we didn’t need one. I left feeling very much taken advantage of and unsatisfied. I’m very upset about it.
Food was good but waiter was very pushy once he saw we were
Food was good but waiter was very pushy once he saw we were American tourists. He recommended very expensive fish dishes from raw bar and also recommended too much food for us. Shame on us for not pushing back but he was very good at up-selling dishes. So while food and wine and good, waiter ruined experience by taking advantage of us.
Tourist Trap - Beware!!

A very comfortable fish establishment
This is a restaurant with a menu heavily slanted to shellfish.We ate tuna and the dish was excellent,service was prompt . Personally i would have preferred a larger selection of regular fish but my meal was good and i have no complaints. Would i come back? This is usually my test and i think i would knowing that for me the menu is limited.
Food was overly priced but decent.
They push you to order by the pound and off menu. At the end of the dinner, they asked if we want to pay tip in cash or card, which seemed rude. Touristy restaurant.
We happened upon this exquisite place by chance.
This is fine dining. The food, service and atmosphere is some of the best in Rome.
Very good food attentive service and nice ambiance
Very good food attentive service and nice ambiance absolutely amazing experience. Extensive variety of wine's over all very nice restaurant.
This place is absolutely criminal: Terrible service and
This place is absolutely criminal: Terrible service and tried to sneak running up the bill on us. Gave us bread and then charged us $10 for the break - when asked about it they called it a Covid charge.... in 2023 Also ordered $20 pasta with with lobster that ended up being charged as $76 bc they later told us their was double lobster in it. Would absolutely not recommend this place.
Tourist trap, avoid.
Two of us shared five courses. Some were alright others were bad. Charged 10 euro per course to split. No up-charge listed on menu or mentioned by waiter. Served bread but we did not have any still charged 10 euro. 60 euro above expected price for average food. Was a great night and on a quiet street but table next to us was smoking.
I very very rarely leave a review but I have been in Europe
I very very rarely leave a review but I have been in Europe for 8 plus weeks and I have to admit this was the first restaurant that I had bad service at. Might of been the fact that I was solo but still this was the first in probably 100 plus restaurants that the service was sub par. On the plus side the food and drinks were good.
Para mi el mejor restaurante de aroma con una ubicación
Para mi el mejor restaurante de aroma con una ubicación única y un ambiente muy selecto, no es económico pero la calidad del servicio y de los productos están muy a la altura date la oportunidad, reserva con mucha anterioridad para garantizar ir

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pierluigi Roma at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pierluigi Roma page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Pierluigi Roma to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pierluigi Roma!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
