Trattoria Pizzeria Il Girasole

Unfortunately the costumers are mostly tourists due the location of the restaurant. As in Italian it’s not nice to be welcome in English. The restaurant is nice and serves Roma traditional dishes. During the dinner we had a man playing the piano that made the experience as “living in a reel”. Pain point food. Everything was good but you can find better next door. Nothing was wow. I tried fried fioridizucca (here we should improve the quality of the anchovies/alice) than I had a good pasta, guanciale and carciofi the ingredients were good however the souce was too watery. Than we tried their carciofo alla giudia. Again good but not wow. Same as the cicoria. Something was missing. Some pics below. The price is competitive. If you are in Monti neighbourhood and you want some pasta it’s a good option? But perosonally I would go for an aperitivo.

A wonderful place with live piano music. The pianist was fantastic - he even came to our table to ask for requests and played exactly what I suggested. Such a lovely experience! The food was also amazing, and the atmosphere is very cozy and pleasant. It’s a great place to relax over dinner.

I visited this lovely trattoria with my wife largely because of the other reviews. It did not disappoint. Staff were great - they spoke great English, but also patiently let me practice my very poor Italian. Food was great. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Atmosphere was lovely. The live pianist was great - have the place a warm hearted feel. We did not find the piano to be too loud even though the side is not large. We could easily speak over it without raising voices. Pretty sure we'll be back before we leave Rome.
