An absolutely fantastic experience at Vino & Peperoncino! We were served by Alin, an extraordinary waiter — attentive, friendly, and truly professional — who made us feel right at home. We were delighted to learn that he was born in Romania, and he’s a real asset to the restaurant!
The food was exceptional: the best carbonara pasta we’ve ever tasted (creamy, authentic, simply perfect!), a black angus steak cooked to perfection, and beef cheeks that were spectacularly flavorful, tender, and rich.
The atmosphere is cozy and full of charm, the wines are excellent, and the service is top-notch.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place — a true culinary gem in the heart of Rome! 🇮🇹❤️

Great spot right by the Vatican. We had just gotten to Rome for Christmas, it was pouring, we were hungry and cold, and this was just what we needed to put us back in the right mood. Amarone at an unbeatable price, delicious cold cuts and pasta, and ine of the best tiramisus I've ever had (only topped by Crab's the next day). There's no picture, it dissappeared the moment they brought it! The casual mood felt great and I'd easily see myself making it a regular spot if I lived in the area.

Amazing dishes. A perfect ending in Rome. We were not so sure which wine to choose and staff is very friendly and introduced us the wine patiently. We enjoyed the meals a lot. Highly recommended!

It is a beautiful and clean place, and the bartender was great. The drinks were delicious. However, for me, the food was mediocre at best. The carbonara was ok, not the best nor the worse, but the risotto was the worse I’ve ever had. I am not sure if it genuinely tasted bad or if I just didn’t like it. The garnishes were poorly chosen, as the smell of the sprouts was not complementing the smell of the cheese in the dish. The paprika and the poppy seeds were also off putting and out of place. It looked like someone threw everything they could find on that plate. The colours of the garnishes are also unfortunate, especially the sprouts, as it is clearly shown in the images, it looks bad... I didn’t tasted any cheese despite having a strong cheesy smell. I was expecting something extremely different, as the dish didn’t match the description in the menu as a risotto with cheese fondue (and saffron if I remember correctly - there was no saffron just misplaced paprika). Unfortunately, I was unable to eat that, and I strongly believe that the recipe should be heavily altered. I also didn’t like the bread, and one of the plates was chipped.

Overall, the rice was quite expensive, about 16 euros for such bad risotto. I usually don’t complain about prices, as most of the times I think it is justified for the skills and good recipes, however now I think the price is excessive for a small dish of poorly cooked rice. The food in their pictures look nicer, perhaps the chef was away and a beginner took their place. On a better note, the place is clean, especially the bathroom.

Went here as our first stop in Roma, right outside Vatican City. The chef makes your food to order, allowing substitutions. The cuisine tasted amazing, though the portions were small as anticipated. There was a charge for everything that I normally assumed to be complimentary (I.e. bread, still/tap water). The service was great and our waiter was extremely friendly.
