Isidor - Menu

simply the best roma osteria for quality-price! plentiful and delicious pasta dishes! Great meat too, number one!

They were nice people, but the food was a normal toristic dish, not an authentic Italian food with that taste and quality.

beautiful location not far from the colosseum. welcomed by staff available that serves excellent typical dishes. recommended recommended

Wow wow wow! We were short on time and thought this would be tourist trap level food but we were very wrong. I had the spaghetti with garlic, chilli and walnuts and it was fantastic. It had quite a kick but so much flavour! Good for gluten free and some vegan options too. Would recommend

very elegant and well maintained restaurant. you eat well, the portions are abundant and the fish dishes are special. the staff was friendly and very welcoming, moreover there is good value for money! The only aspect to be improved is perhaps the waiting times, but nothing exaggerated. Overall, I recommend it

nice local, clean and kept in order, in the center of roma between the basilica is St. John and the Colosseum. friendly and professional staff, fast service. excellent quality of food, from appetizers to the first to finish to desserts, as well as good are also well presented, appearing delicious also in the eyes as well as the palate.

Best meal in Rome so far!

We had the 3 pasta (chefs choice) and a mista salad. All 3 of the pastas were fabulous but the risotto was the very best, so creamy and flavourful. The mista salad was fresh and interesting with fennel and olives. We shared a tiramisu, renewed my love of it once again!! We sat on the patio, only downside was the smokers but when in Rome……

The people giving poor reviews for this outstanding restaurant sound like typical tourists that think they are in the USA. If they had read anything about Italy, they know you must ADAPT to old customs. First, the food was among the best we found and we have traveled all over Italy many times. We were lucky to come upon this excellent restaurant and found the service by several very friendly young men quick and they were attentive all the time. I made a note that the spinaci was sensational and a large portion that must have taken several bunches of spinach to make, and the portions of very good pasta were normal, not huge as in the USA, and cooked perfectly. The price was lower than it shou...

An April dinner and May lunch proved outstanding. Isidoro, not far from the Colosseum on a quiet street, seems to attract Rome natives more than tourists--an excellent sign. A few dinner highlights: the remarkably inventive, and generous, white fennel-root salad with artichoke hearts and black olives, like nothing you have ever tasted; the turbot crusted with artichokes and potatoes; and the sea bream with bread crumbs, celery, and apple butter. For dessert, the sbriciolata--a sort of phyllo-like pastry, with crisp sheets interleaved with pastry cream and fresh berries and tiny chocolate chips--or the three cannoli with pistachio, hazelnut, etc., fillings, are sure winners. At lunch on a cro...
