Staff were very polite and attentive, and to top it off, the owner treated us to a complimentary limoncello at the end.
Highly recommended for great food and warm service.
Without a doubt, one of the best meals we had in Rome.
Il Ritrovo a San Giovanni is everything you hope to find in an authentic Italian restaurant: family-run, filled with locals, and passionate about serving exceptional food. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family, and the hospitality never stopped.
Every dish was beautifully prepared, bursting with fresh, authentic flavors, and clearly made with care and pride. The service was impeccable, warm, attentive, and genuinely kind without ever feeling rushed.
In a city full of restaurants, this is the one we'll be recommending to everyone. If you want to experience real Roman hospitality and outstanding cuisine away from the tourist crowds, don't miss this place. A memorable dining experience in every way. We can't wait to return! Bonus: it's 1 min walk to Lodi metro station. Open Tuesdays to Sundays. Close on Mondays. Reservation recommended.
