Key facts

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to reserve, and how?

Yes, strongly recommended, especially for dinner; book online or by email. A credit card guarantees the table and a per-person fee applies for no-shows not cancelled by email. Grab a slot early, as it fills days out.

When is it closed?

Closed Sundays; open Monday to Saturday with long hours from morning to late evening. That wide window helps, but the kitchen's prime tables still need booking. Check holiday closures.

What is Roscioli known for?

Its carbonara has near-legendary status, alongside top-tier cured meats, cheeses, burrata, and a deep wine cellar. It's a deli counter and a sit-down kitchen in one. Come for ingredient quality above all.

Salumeria vs the bakery vs Roscioli Caffè?

This entry is the Salumeria con Cucina on Via dei Giubbonari, the deli-restaurant. The Roscioli family also runs a famous bakery (Forno) around the corner and a separate caffè. Don't confuse them; the sit-down meal is here.

Can I just buy deli items to go?

Yes, it functions as a salumeria, so you can buy cheeses, cured meats, and pantry goods without dining in. Great for assembling a picnic or gifts. The sit-down tables are the reservation-heavy part.

How expensive is it?

Upper mid to high: quality cured meats, cheeses, and wine add up, and it's pricier than a neighborhood trattoria. You're paying for sourcing and a serious cellar. Worth it for a special meal, less so for a casual bite.

Is it good for wine lovers?

Very much so; the wine program is a highlight with an extensive list and knowledgeable staff. Ask for pairings and you'll be well looked after. It's one of the better wine experiences among Rome's food spots.

What should I order beyond carbonara?

Build a tasting: a cured-meat and cheese selection, burrata with anchovies or tomatoes, then a pasta or two, guided by a wine pairing. Let the staff steer the cellar. The antipasti are as much the draw as the pasta.
