This was one of our absolute favorite restaurants during our trip! Tucked away from the main road in a side alley, the line speaks for itself - there's nobody trying to usher you in from the streets - and that's when you know it's a gem. There was a line during lunch but it moved pretty quickly since there's a lot of seats and they are very efficient. The true winner was the Arrabbiata pasta. The noodles were so thick and chewy - perfectly al dente - and the sauce was packed with flavor with a surprisingly large kick to it. We also added burrata which was the best decision ever. They also gave us complimentary limoncello at the end. We wish we had time to come back since everything else looked so good. Don't miss this gem when visiting the Colosseum! It's about a 10 min walk from the entrance.

A Tourist's Gem! My partner and I had gotten off the plane and up until we got to this restaurant, we had experienced nothing but insanely rude italian service people that we were starting to believe Rome was not a place for us. But then we stumbled on this restaurant and were greeted with the warmest smiles! We were so surprised that even with a line up, a table for 2 was less than a 5 minute wait. We got the Carbonara and the Cacio e Pepe and hands down THE best pasta I have ever had in my entire life. This is the pasta of my dreams!!! The carbonara was my favourite, it was actually my partner's choice but I couldn't help but steal a couple bites from him. The Cacio e Pepe was also very good, in fact, I think I liked the texture of the pasta noodles from this more, but I was definitely in a carbonara mood that day so I wouldn't skip out on it. The service was amazing, I tried my best to speak the Italian I practiced and my servers were so happy to hear me try, I felt welcome and proud of myself for being there. Shoutout to Jasmine! This place felt heaven-sent especially as an asian tourist. I felt incredibly welcome and immersed in the italian experience here, not too touristy, not too pretentiously local. Would highly highly highly recommend! Grazie Mille!!

This place gets high ratings and reviews on Google so plan on waiting, but the line goes quick. That said, it's not a 5 star. At best, 4 because the pasta is fresh and particularly the lasagna was very good. The staff was super friendly and went around giving shots of lemoncello. Got the pistachio tiramisu, comes in a cute coffee pot like many places here.

Came to Rome to visit and found La Nuova Piazzetta for dinner and had a great experience! Food and drinks were delicious and they had decent size portions. We ordered their carbonara pasta and their sausage and mushroom pizza. Both were packed with flavor and definitely filled you up. Staff were awesome too! Ask for Omi or Bimbo, they are amazing. Went above and beyond to make the experience great! Would highly recommend!

Hands down, the BEST meal I've had in Italy! Warning: there will be a line, but you better stay in it because anything off the menu is absolutely delicious. Our servers Luca and Alfonso were incredible. We ordered pasta with prawns and pachino tomatoes, a side of chicory, and my other friend ordered cheese ravioli. I cannot put in words how perfectly balanced and flavorful each dish was. For drinks, we had wine, pineapple juice, coke, sprite and water. Of course, I had to order my favorite dessert. The tiramisu was beautifully presented and was not overly sweet, just how I like it. My friend also ordered the cheesecake with berries which she enjoyed thoroughly. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, lovely hosts. If I had to think of a con, it would probably be that there's only one bathroom. Will this stop me from returning? Definitely not!

We visited the La Nuova Piazzeta location at 4 Via Della Posta Vecchia. Staff was spot on and prompt. Only the language barrier kept us from getting the best service. Tried to ask a couple questions but some was lost in translation. Regardless, my wife and I enjoyed a late lunch of Bolognese pasta and a "Woodsman" pizza. I had a half-liter beer and she had a Prosecco. Food was great. Outdoor seating was prefect for the shaded seating area. Didn't care for other patrons smoking but it's Europe, that's an issue everywhere. Had more of Rome to see, so didn't stick around too long. We would recommend this place for a nice lunch/dinner, for couples or a small group.

Conveniently close to the Roman forum and in a very touristy area, this place popped up on google maps as one of the highest rated and most rated restaurants in the area (they ask you to review on Google after the meal). When we arrived there was a short line that moved at a medium pace. The parts of the line closer to the front had umbrellas for share. As we ate the line got longer and it got hotter outside, but the restaurant gave out free water to the people in line. I got the pizza with spicy salami and my gf got the gnocchi with Bolognese. The pizza was a large portion with big thin slices of salami, with a nice crust on the bottom. Overall, very good for the price. I also tried the gnocchi and it was really good. The portion of the gnocchi was also larger than other similarly priced restaurants we went to in Rome. We didn't get the tiramisu but we saw other people who did, it's served in a Moka pot! Very neat.

Do not be scared of the long lines. They move fairly quickly plus the food is worth the wait. No need to have fancy spacious venue as long as the food is really good. Service is quick and the staff are sooo accomodating!! Try all the pasta! The Margherita pizza was amazing as well.

While in Rome, we had a lot of weird customer service interactions (unfriendliness, being rushed to order or finish meals - just not the typical Italian experience), but La Nuova Piazzetta made us believe that good customer service still exists in Rome. This spot is tucked away in an alley near the Colosseum. The street is adorable and the restaurant is fairly small with some indoor and outdoor seating. There was no wait for a party of two. Our server was absolutely fantastic, I wish I could remember his name. We got the order of seasonal fruit, melon, and two salads. The melon was so perfectly ripe and juicy. The salads were a generous portion size with yummy mozzarella and olives. We would've eaten more had it not been so hot outside but our order hit the exact right spot for us. Afterwards, we asked if they had any melon-cello (the melon version of limoncello) and multiple staff members scoured around looking for it. They only had a melon flavored vodka (like what you'd use in an apple-tini) but their galant efforts were so appreciated and put a smile on our faces. In a sea of mediocre dining and rude customer service, La Nuova Piazzetta is worth stopping for in Rome.
