RuinMyTrip guide to Roscioli

Official Review

Written by RuinMyTrip Editorial from published research and official sources, not from a personal trip. It is not a traveler review and is never counted in the community rating. How we research.

What it is

A salumeria, wine bar and restaurant on Via dei Giubbonari near Campo de' Fiori, serving Roman classics from a room lined with its own cured meats and cheeses.

Why travelers eat here

For the carbonara and the counter. The ingredients are the point, and you are sitting inside the shop that sources them.

What is genuinely good

An outstanding deli counter, a carbonara that lives up to the noise around it, a deep wine list, and cured meats and cheeses you can buy on the way out.

Downsides

A 20 euro per person deposit. Rigid shifts. Cramped and loud. Fully booked weeks in advance.

Best for

Anyone who cares about ingredients, and anyone willing to plan a Rome meal weeks ahead.

Consider eating elsewhere if

You want to eat spontaneously, or a shift system and a deposit put you off before you have tasted anything.

Practical advice

Book weeks ahead and expect the deposit to be taken. Take the earliest lunch shift, which is the calmest. Buy something from the counter as you leave, because that is half the reason the food tastes the way it does.

Prices and reservations

A la carte with a 20.00 euro per person booking deposit, deductible from the bill. Fixed seating shifts only, booked online.

Getting there

Bus or tram to Largo di Torre Argentina, then five minutes on foot. There is no convenient metro.

Where it sits

Via dei Giubbonari, a narrow shopping street running from Campo de' Fiori towards the Tiber, in the dense old centre.

How long to allow

An hour and a half, which is what the shift allows.

The RuinMyTrip verdict

Book weeks ahead, take the deposit on the chin, order the carbonara and buy cheese on the way out.

Twenty Euros a Head Just to Hold the Table

Roscioli charges a 20.00 euro deposit per person at booking, and works in fixed shifts: 12:30, 12:45, 14:30 and 14:45 for lunch, and 19:00, 21:30 and 21:45 for dinner. Those are the only slots that exist. It is a salumeria first, a wine bar second and a restaurant third, all in one narrow room lined floor to ceiling with cured meat, cheese and bottles. The carbonara is the dish people book for, and the burrata and…
