Er Faciolaro: A Taste of Authentic Roman Cuisine

Located in the heart of Rome near the Pantheon, Er Faciolaro is a family-run trattoria that embodies the essence of Roman cuisine. Originally a bakery, it served hearty bean soup to local workers, inspiring its name and commitment to authentic flavors.

Upon entering, you'll experience rustic charm with exposed brick walls, checkered tablecloths, and the aroma of fresh bread. The menu features classic Roman dishes, including a variety of pasta, meat, and seafood specialties.

Begin your meal with antipasti like "Prosciutto toscano con mozzarella di bufala" or "Bruschette miste." For the main course, savor the "Gricia," a flavorful pasta with guanciale and pecorino cheese, or the comforting "Spaghetti al sugo con polpette di manzo." At Er Faciolaro, every dish tells a story of tradition and passion for authentic Roman cuisine.

    When you’re in the hustle and bustle of high tourist season around the Pantheon and Trevi fountain, you may want to grab a bite at Er Faciolaro, the place is a little touristy however, the food was very good, service was excellent. It’s definitely notches above the restaurants with the placard pictures of food displayed out front. The wine recommendation was excellent. It definitely caters to tourist, but they do a good job.

    What an amazing dinner we had! Tony and the guys made you feel like family. They were very accommodating to our large group and made the evening special. All of the food recommendations made were ordered and fabulous! Especially the beef that was cooked perfectly at the table. Served with potatoes. Best meal I’ve had in Rome. We will definitely be returning!

    Warm welcoming restaurant that appeared to be full of Italians - always a good sign. Food was excellent! Service was attentive. This is not all that common in Italy i find. made us feel like family. I very rarely tip in restaurants in Italy as it is not expected. I tipped our server tonight.

    Five years ago, we discovered Er Faciolaro by chance, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. Returning to Rome this time, we knew it had to be our first stop—and we loved it so much, we ended up dining here three times! The waitstaff genuinely makes you feel like family, welcoming you back like old friends. The food? Simply the best in Rome. It's one of the only places you'll find "Pizza con Salsiccia" (sausage pizza), my personal favorite. We also loved the lasagne, fettuccine alla bolognese, and spaghetti carbonara—each dish was perfection. We honestly didn’t taste a single thing we didn't enjoy. Er Faciolaro is a must-visit!

    Er Faciolaro was a great choice for us midday. The caccio e pepe was so filling refreshing and not heavy. My family was raving to the waiter about the service, the food quality and the ambiance. I would come back here again. It is a short walk from the pantheon. Hope to come back soon! A presto.

    Wonderful restaurant! Every time we come to Rome every year or every second year, we spend the evenings dining at Er Faciolaro. The location is very close to the Pantheon, but this is definitely not a tourist trap. The food tastes great - especially the Fiorentina. And the team is wonderful and friendly - it’s like coming home to family.

    We had an amazing experience at El Faciolaro for our last night in Rome! From being greeted while walking down the street, to complimentary prosecco, to our FANTASTIC waiter Omar, the entire meal was a 10/10. Portions were good sized and the food was delicious! Our group of 6 sampled pasta, seafood, and the beef and it was all fantastic. American diners may want to be aware that the beef filet on the menu is not the same cut as a filet mignon that we are used to in the States but it won't matter--the beef filet special that night was so good! And presented perfectly, sizzling hot with Omar preparing it for my mother ;) You won't go wrong here, we can't wait to come back!
