While touring Rome with my wife and college age son we ate lunch here as my son found it on line on his smart phone and we were glad he did. There is a good lesson here which I will come back to on another review that any restaurant which has a waiter out front trying to pull people in... More

Having just ate our way thorough Italy my wide and I both agree Da Francesco is the best pizzeria/trattoria we visited. The servers were incredibly friendly and never once made us feel out of place which can happen at a locals hangout. The pizzas, especially the mozzarella and truffle, were the best we had in Italy and the pastas were... More

We went here based on TA reviews and it did not disappoint. When we first arrived there were hardly any customers, which is usually a sign for my husband to move on to the next place. I reminded him that it was early for Italian diners and said we should give it a try. Before our primi piattis arrived it... More

The restaurant was teeming with customers on the Saturday night we went. Fantastic service. The restaurant is in Piazza del Fico, a real fun & vibrant square full of cafes and bars. We ordered artichokes roman style, saltimbocca, pizza & pasta as well as lamb - all of it was excellent. A real fun place with fair prices.

Talk about a great way to get "grounded" after flying to Rome from Boston! Wandering about the neighborhood, we were referred to this sweet spot. The saltimbocca was excellent, as was the service. I would try the pizza next time, since watching the pizza maestro was so much fun. The house wine was excellent and very reasonably priced. We had... More

I cannot understand why this is not rated higher on TA. I spotted it in Lonely Planet and it was then recommended to us. On arrival there was a queue of locals outside so that was a good sign! Our waiter was great fun and very efficient. This is a bustling place which is loud with a great atmosphere. The... More

I was wandering around near Piazza Navona looking for a restaurant and came upon Da Francesco. Its a small pizzeria in a lovely little piazza named Piazza Fico. The pizza was crisp and tasty. Service was friendly and I loved the little Piazza. This is a great place to go and hang out. It can get crowded and its small,... More
