  Went here three different times as it was close to the hotel and was open earlier than most places.
  We had multiple dishes to include lasagna, pizza, meatballs, and the bruschetta. All of it was very good. The only issue was lasagna was cold in the middle when I received it. Once it was reheated it was very good. I understand it is pre-made, but it should be warmed up sufficiently.
  The staff were all very friendly. It is a very slow pace compared to the US, understandable, just wish they would check on tables a little more often.

  We came to this restaurant for dinner our first night in Rome, as it was recommended by our Hilton Garden Inn receptionists and it was a close 5min walk. However, it was a bad choice and honestly has almost put me off pasta.
  
  We ordered -
  
  1) Vegetarian Pizza (added Zucchini flowers & anchovies from the Rustica pizza) - so it's a €2 charge for anything extra and while  we could see the Zucchini flowers on the pizza, couldn't taste the anchovies, but got charged extra anyway. The pizza was....tasteless! The crust was decent but that was all
  
  2) Tagliolini Pasta in Ragu sauce with chestnut - the menu stayed this dish was only available from September to March and I've never had chestnuts in pasta before, so was keen to try it out. Only the pasta arrived and it had beef mince! We specifically had told our waiter we don't eat beef!! What a total waste of our money and shows how inattentive the waiter was.
  
  3) Eggplant Parmigiana - got this as it had been recommended in other Yelp reviews, and they must have had a different dish or the cook has changed hands cause similar to the pizza, this too was tasteless. The cheese was just all over the place, and the tomato sauce was decent, but that was it.
  
  When we sat down, the waiter said he'd bring us some bread, which we figured would be on the house. Heck no! when we got the bill, we'd been charged €4.
  
  I wish I'd chosen a different place to go eat, cause this wasn't that great!

  Great food.  Menu has plenty of options including melanzane parmigiana for appetizer which was delicious.  There are a number of salads to choose from as well.  Pizza menu is extensive and the vegetarian pizza is excellent!  Dessert menu includes homemade cheese cake, gelato, apple torte and many more.  Nice selection of wines and Prosecco of course.  Friendly service and indoor or outdoor seating offered.  Elegant atmosphere and reasonable prices.  My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that I've had better gelato in Italia.  Overall, it's a very good restaurant to which I hope to return.

  We visited Taverna Rossini for lunch and experienced great service and delicious food. This establishment was busy at the time, but we were seated quickly and attended to fairly quickly by European standards. We ordered bruschetta pesto (highly recommend), meatball with tomato sauce (good), and ravioli with Gorgonzola, pear, and pistachio (highly recommend). The atmosphere was good for conversation and the waiter was very kind and forgiving of our poor attempts at the Italian language.

  This place could be a savior for those heavily jet lagged. It opens for early dinner and offers a variety of italian food. We eat there 3 nights in a row as it's close to our hotel. Price is reasonable, taste is good and staff speak English. The cafe next door is also good for breakfast, many locals seem to eat here.
