This beautiful restaurant, which from the outside looks like many ordinary places in the center of Rome, hides a mysterious underground space ( like a hidden treasure) that truly feels like a museum.

You can admire the ancient remains of the Theatre of Pompey while enjoying your meal , a unique historical experience combined with delicious, traditional Italian cuisine.

Considering its prime location in central Rome, the prices are very reasonable. The kind and helpful staff truly deserve special mention. Even without a reservation, they warmly welcomed us for lunch.

Everything was extremely well organized and thoughtfully designed. In the underground dining area, the tables were set with clean, high-quality fabric tablecloths. Upstairs, the placemats were beautifully designed with detailed historical illustrations. Even the water bottles featured an engraved brick pattern inspired by the Theatre of Pompey. There was also a large and impressive model of the entire area from the Theatre of Pompey to Largo Argentina.

Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the management for their broad and creative vision in planning every detail, and for honoring both the body and the soul of their guests.

I would like to leave a review about the Pancrazio café. We really enjoyed the service — everything was at a very high level. I would especially like to thank the waiter Slava for his attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism. He was very polite, helped us choose the dishes, and made our visit especially pleasant. Thanks to such great service, we would love to come back again. Thank you for the wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!

The experience was amazing (visit the hidden gem) and the food even better. We ordered the menu of the day with the carbonara with truffles and spaghetti vongola 10/10. Eugenio was really good and helped a lot with the selection of the dishes. Will come back for sure 🫶🤩

We had an excellent experience at Ristorante Pancrazio dal 1922 — this is definitely a place where you should make a reservation in advance.

The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was fantastic. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including carbonara, steak, and chicken, and honestly every dish was delicious. The chicken dish stood out as our favorite of the night, and every bite was full of flavor. The fresh bread they brought to the table was also a great start to the meal.

The setting itself is charming and truly adds to the experience — it felt like a perfect blend of good food and memorable ambiance.

Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a great meal and a lovely place to dine in Rome!

From the outside this looks like all the other restaurants around the Piazza de Campo de Fiori but it is a hidden gem. We had booked this having found it online and seeing the lovely downstairs.  When we arrived we were greeted by Melania who apologised that there were no downstairs tables available but gave us our choice of seat in the covered outdoor area.  However she returned not long after and moved us downstairs which was very much appreciated as the interior is historical and of a high quality.

The service from Sam was outstanding.  He was friendly and helpful.  The food all met our expectations especially the Carciofe alla grilla and the carbonara which was served as special with truffle shavings.  Totally authentic and then up a level.

It was accompanied by good quality wine.  All in all style and substance and felt good value for the location.

Highly recommended and hope to return next time we are in Rome.
