Armando al Pantheon Roma Reviews
Terrible food and poor service This is the ONLY bad meal
Terrible food and poor service This is the ONLY bad meal we had in Rome! We were under the impression this was a michelin rated restaurant but it was so disappointing
Tourist trap.
Imagine waiting to come and given bread in a paper bag then basic red sauce on pasta. The salad was arugula plain with olive oil, raisins and peanuts. Worse than airplane food. Felt like we were tricked!
Good!
Honestly, I had a really good time. The dishes are typical of a true Roman osteria, but with excellent ingredients (starting with the pasta). You eat with the Pantheon in front of you (if you sit outside), and dishes like the chicken regaje, which I
Great Amatriciana
Our first meal in Rome. Just lovely. The Amatriciana was out of this world. The wine choices lovely. We saw this on the Stanley Tucci show and it didn’t disappoint
Average at best, very bland.
I was looking forward to coming to this restaurant, especially after having to book well in advance. We arrived at Armando al pantheon, which looked nice and traditional. We entered and stood inside the restaurant for a couple of minutes and not one
The service was the best, the entire staff was smiling, happy to help and make recommendations.
Went this evening Aug 07 2025. The service was the best, the entire staff was smiling, happy to help and make recommendations. The food was delicious. I would go back again and again. Great meal, great restaurant, fantastic location. Starter, 3 pasta
Good for a place near Pantheon
The dishes were fine, the plates were very adorable, the inside was ordinary, the staff weren’t so helpfull. But a good choise if you are near Pantheon.
I look forward to going back!
Excellent meal and experience overall. Warm, welcoming, and wonderful service. Lovely local wine and delicious meal, including the best amatriciana (thank you to Stanley Tucci for the recommendation) and the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Homely an
Three of us had dinner on a weeknight.
We had made reservations a month in advance online. When we arrived on time , we were seated immediately at the only one open table. Many people were being turned away. Reservations are a must here! It took awhile to take our order. Like a long whil
Rude waiter
We booked 30 days in advance at exactly midnight Rome time because we have dined here before and were looking forward to another wonderful meal….sadly we will not return again. We were seated and after 20mins an older gentleman came to take our ord
We had very good service and delicious food.
We found good food and good service throughout Italy. Why I am writing this review is to direct you to the dessert area, particularly the fresh fruit specials. When we chose this restaurant, I saw multiple mentions of the fresh fruit desserts. I did

Our travel agent booked our party of eight reservations at this restaurant. She told us this was a Michelin restaurant and hard to get reservations. The food was good but it was served to us by a waiter with a heavy dose of body oder making interac

I was so happy to say this lived up to the hype! This was the reservation I was most excited for and it was a great time. Based on location, service and food I think this was my overall favorite visit in Rome. I started with an artichoke and mozzar

Incredible authentic food from Roman times! Highly recommend the artichoke and ask the waiter for the local delicacy you won't be disappointed!
Wow wow wow! I had high expectations, and this dinner met
Wow wow wow! I had high expectations, and this dinner met them from start to finish. It is right next to the Pantheon, but it is not your typical tourist trap - this kitchen understands the rich culinary history of Rome and serves up dishes that hono

After tasting the alla gricia here at Armando's, I realized that Walter White has risen from his grave and used his chemistry magic in this kitchen. It's not difficult to get addicted to the dishes here. Also, the wine list is wonderful an
One of the best meal we had in Rome.
Their carbonara, caccio pepe and tiramisu were really good.
Maybe try for lunch instead of dinner
We dined outside which was very lively. The food was okay- not as delicious as other places in Roma. Service was very helpful.
One of the best
I just don't understand all the recent negative reviews. My husband and I have been to Armando's several times over the years and we have never been served a bad meal. While in Rome a couple of weeks ago, we ate at Armando's three times for lunch
10/10! My husband and I were really excited to try this
10/10! My husband and I were really excited to try this place. We saw it on food network Bobby Flay episode when researching restaurants before our trip and this place did not disappoint! The flavors are so fresh and delicious and you can tell it's a
Overrated.
I got the FETTUCCINE ALL'AMATRICIANA and while the noodles were great, the sauce was mediocre and the meat was burnt which really took away from the taste. Disappointing. Wait staff was very inattentive. We had to request water, bread, and olive oi

We managed to get a table here despite not having a reservation. The restaurant is in a very busy spot and the views of the pantheon are from the side. We sat outside which was lovely despite the heat. The food was delicious, don't expect a huge menu
We had a great experience while on our honeymoon here.
We came here for our anniversary dinner. I would suggest getting a reservation if you come at night. They fill up very quickly. When we came, there was indoor seating and outdoor seating inside the tent with the heat lamps. Beautiful views of the Pan
I literally NEVER write negative Yelp reviews.
This will be my first and that says a lot. This is my second time to this restaurant. This time I was with my just ten year old son and mother ( 81 yrs old) who has taken me to Italy my entire life- a special trip I would say as I was celebrating tur
Salty AF. Everywhere else we are was far and above all 3 pasta dishes we chewed and spat out.
This shitehole refuses to accept criticism for it's salty food. Do better - if Roman food was just salt, this place good. Mal.
Not worth going.
So after reading all of the reviews we decided to try this restaurant. Very disappointed, veal was so tough and full of fat you couldn’t even cut it. Would definitely not recommend. So many other options.
Must have been an off night!
Our first meal in Italy! After watching so many videos and travel vlogs, this was our most anticipated and disappointing meal in our 15 days in Italy. I couldn’t wait to try the true Italian carbonara. It tasted like they dumped the whole salt sh

Exceptional food and impeccable style in a small, quiet and friendly restaurant. Armando Al Pantheon Roma was everything and more than we hoped for. We so appreciated the opportunity to dine there and the helpful advice from the wait staff in select
Great Dinner in Iconic Roman Eatery
The due diligence necessary to secure a reservation at this Roma Icon was well worth the effort. Enjoyed a wonderful Rigatoni Amatriciana and a Veal Saltimbocca that were simply perfect.
Loved the food , the price is good , fast service but
Loved the food , the price is good , fast service but waitstaff I had was not friendly.
Overrated- we expected a lot better.
Pasta was dried out and meat was tough. We had better food at other off the beaten path restaurants and for much cheaper. Didn't live up to the Tucci hype.
Simple space, minimal ambience.
Salad was decent, pasta disappointing. Unfortunately, think I fell for the hype. I would not recommend going out of your way to make a reservation.
Yes! That's the spot you want to visit after long walks in
Yes! That's the spot you want to visit after long walks in Rome. Don't mind bad reviews! Despite, reservation issues you still can be accommodated as a walk-in. People just don't want to seat outside in a nice outdoor sidewalk tables ( construction
Don't believe the hype.
I am not sure if it has changed owners since it was featured in several tv shows in the US, but our experience was extremely disappointing. The pasta was just ok and the appetizer which was mozzarella and Roman artichoke was terrible, the mozzarella
Wonderful dinner in Rome!
We loved our dinner and just had a wonderful time on our last night in Rome. We had to book 30 days in advance, and now we know why! The food and the charming ambiance are magical! The wine selection is lovely!

They were very accommodating and sat us without a reservation. The lamb, chicory and pasta were amazing. Very knowledgeable about their extensive wine list. Great spot in a very touristy area
Disappointed after looking forward to eating here
Sadly, this was a big disappointment. A very hard reservation to get, our hotel got us in for dinner booking it as soon as they reopened from the holiday break. It was always a busy place, being 60 years old, but more so since Stanley Tucci featured
Delicious lunch next to Pantheon
We had a most enjoyable lunch at this restaurant which is located just a stone's throw away from the Pantheon. To start off with, we had the mouth-watering Roman style artichoke with buffalo mozzarella. There is just something about the way Roman's p
Amazing! Must try!
Absolutely excellent produce treated with love and care by the chefs - entree was lamb liver etc followed by roman grilled lamb - stunning - paired with chicory tips side - world class! The best meal in Roma! Highly recommended!

Definitely make a reservation for this restaurant! We did not but we got pretty lucky - we lined up minutes after they opened for the night and were able to get a reservation for a couple hours later. We were the last couple to get a table for the ni
We went here for our first dinner of our first trip to Rome
We went here for our first dinner of our first trip to Rome back in June 2023. We still talk about the Veal dish to this day! The restaurant is small and cozy. I worried about it being touristy since it's steps away from the Pantheon but everyone sea
Wow! Carbonara lived up to Tucci/Netflix hype.
Service was amazing! Wine guy amazing! We booked a reservation and I made a mistake on the day. They took care of us anyway and were super nice. Italians in general I think based on our trip, can take or leave us Americans but these guys were super n
This was our first time dining at Armando al Pantheon.
A small family-owned restaurant, it has been run by the Gargioli family since 1961 and serves authentic homemade Roman classics. The past dishes and braised veal shanks were to die for. Reservations should be made 30 days out to ensure you can grab o
Must reserve exactly a month in advance.
Good service. Historic restaurant. Good cocktails. For food, we liked Enoteca Capranica (nearby) better.
We made reservations 30 days in advance.
Service was very good. Food was fresh and simple. We got veal dish and pasta. It was good. Nice ambiance and perfect location
This place totally blew me away.
.. Everything was a wow.. I had never had Mozzarella de Buffalo before... it was amazing... slightly tangy... very moist.. the pastas were done perfectly. It is tough to get a reservation, but it is worth it.. Definitely one of the best restauran

Carbonara was amazing.
They were full for the evening but we managed to get in later at night with no wait. Service was great!
Book early for this excellent restaurant
I had a very enjoyable meal here, the spaghetti al gricia was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices are a little high but what an amazing location, just steps from the Pantheon. Booking is essential, ideally a month or so before you
The best carbonara I've ever tasted
We'd seen this restaurant on TV when Stanley Tucci visited and booked dinner there for our trip to Rome. It did not disappoint! The carbonara was delicious, really the best either of us had ever had. I had the saltimbocca which was absolutely love

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Armando al Pantheon 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 Armando al Pantheon 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
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Armando al Pantheon 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 DistinguishedTree58 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, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58'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 Armando al Pantheon 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.
