Pesci Fritti Trattoria In Roma

*UPDATE MARCH 2024* I went to this place a week ago and discovered that the management has CHANGED for 2 years... and this clarified the discrepancy between the negative reviews and my positive experience. The menu is not very extensive but very refined and updated according to the seasons; the staff is very kind (the waitress Giulia really deserves a tip!); the cocktails are created by them (I even found those with tomato, a rarity!). The only less positive note is that the environment is very nice but could do with some tidying up, however it is FANTASTIC that even though you cook the fried food, your clothes DO NOT stink when you go out (which always happens, even in the most famous restaurants). I will go back and recommend it!

Cute little restaurant not on a main road so it was quiet and nice but a bit plain inside. The service was great but honestly the food was a bit average - got the octopus ragu and a clam spaghetti. The octopus ragu was quite a bit too salty and the clam spaghetti had much less taste in comparison but both had nice flavor. Crème brûlée was nice but nothing too special. A little bland! Overall was a nice dinner but food could have definitely been better!

The food is very tasty, and the place itself has a nice 60's jazz feel, it's close to the center but quiet and romantic, The waiter was also very nice and friendly!

Excellent food, welcoming and elegant service, excellent value for money

We both fresh pasta, Gricia con i articiofi and spaghettone vongole, with white house wine. The food was really good

Food quality was fine, service for us was ok but something seemed off upon getting settled. Like the staff tried too hard, with an angsty approach that reminded me of a high pressure salesman from The Wolf of Wall Street or something. It clearly bothered some other diners more than us, and it was amazing to see it spiral out of control. I know dining in Rome can be expensive but I didn't enjoy 21 Euros for the night's special of ravioli (just 5 pieces). Higher prices create higher expectations and this place was so meh.

Really nice service and food quality. As a seafood lover and visited many restaurants. It is one of the good restaurant i've ever visited, very fresh seafood. Even there were very noisy customers with disrespectful complaints, staffs were handling professionally. I enjoyed my meal very much.

Amazing place, really good food!! Absolutely to try!

Lovely cozy romantic place with delicious food and friendly staff. The fish soup was tasty and had a lot of fish in it. The risotto was different and very yummy. We had a great romantic evening.

I had walked by this small bright restaurant and it compelled me to reserve a table. My 3 friends and I were so happy to discover a jovial welcome, delicious ( and NOT only fried fish) and a small but accessible wine list. Do not miss the risotto, puntarelle, or the best tiramisu ever. Also the sparking rose wine with a skull on the bottle. This place is authentic and a fab co treat to some of the darker, albeit also authentic places in the neighborhood. Just go and enjoy.
