We stumbled upon this place on vacation and absolutely loved it. First of all, we were the only tourists there, as it was off the beaten path a bit. Second of all, the food we ordered was DELICIOUS. Not only were the gnocchi light, but the sauce was perfectly flavored and captured the freshness of the tomatoes with skill and precision. We left the restaurant feeling that the gnocchi was the best we'd ever had, after 2 weeks in Italy no less. Third of all, the service was wonderful. The waitress and owner were extremely attentive and friendly. Fourth of all, the interior was simple but tasteful and the facilities were clean. Overall, an excellent dining experience I, a very picky restaurant-frequenter, was very happy with.
Rock on Hosteria Rasella! PS. The host at the hotel next door was very nice!

A wonderful dining experience in this beautiful, little hidden gem of a restaurant. This is classic Roman cuisine done with contemporary finesse. The dining room is comfortable, while not large. There is also outdoor seating available when things get busy. Hidden away on a quiet side street, this restaurant affords a lovely setting for a family or intimate dinner.
My wife and I enjoyed sharing the classic antipasti spread of cold meats (salami, prosciutto, coppa), olives and cheese. Wonderful! Then she had the grilled sea bass, while I had the spaghetti carbonara, followed by grilled veal. To die for! The veal melted in my mouth.
The atmosphere was quite intimate and romantic. Mario (the owner) was working the dining room the night we were in, and being as we were rather early (7:00-ish), it wasn't too busy for him to take some time talking with us in his near-perfect English. What a fascinating fellow! We understand that things pick up as the evening progresses and they get quite busy, so I'd recommend getting there sooner, rather than later.
Run, don't walk, to Hostaria Rasella next time you're in Rome!
