This place is an absolute blast. Great selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices, but what stood out the most was the service. Absolutely amazing staff. We spent 3 days in Rome and everyday's last stop was this place. We will 100% coming back. 10/10

This was our first meal in Rome and it really set the standard high. The place itself is super cute with all the candy decorations. The staff was very kind and welcoming as well as very attentive and helpful. I got the carbonara and it was probably the best I've ever had in my life. I would have gone back for another meal if we'd had the time!

Absolutely a must go place. The atmosphere is magical as the music is classic hits (be prepared to sing along) as the Waiters know how to get a party going in a fun environment. Food is fantastic. Drinks were outstanding

So delicious! It was such a vibe, the service was incredible, and the food was SO good! Shout out to Roberto for his hospitality and shot on the house to end our night in Rome!

A well thought out and beautifully designed restaurant with good food and friendly service. The burger was excellent and the meal was topped off with a huge bottle of limoncello for you to take a shot, which was a nice touch. The pasta is not as fresh as other restaurants in the area, but we still enjoyed the food and service.

We casually walked into Caramella while looking for a good bar in the area, and were blown away by the service! They were able to get us a table for 6, while also giving us a free cup of white wine while we waited. Then, we got in, our waiter (the guy in the picture, which we haven't got his name sadly) was very energetic and made sure we will have fun during our stay. He joked with us, helped us with getting specially-modified dishes and also rocked the entire bar during multiple pop songs which played in the background. The atmosphere was great and this guy surely made our night! We truly recommend it.

Caramella was a great find in Trastevere! One of the few restaurants in the area where you can make reservations, which made arriving super easy with no wait time. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. This is not your typical Italian restaurant, it’s more of a restaurant-bar hybrid with loud music and a party vibe. If you’re looking for a fun and lively spot, this is it! Upon arrival, we were greeted with four complimentary glasses of delicious wine, and at the end of our meal, they offered us limoncello on the house, such a nice touch. The menu has a great variety, including pizza, salads, burgers, and classic Italian dishes. We had the Caesar salad and lasagna, both of which were delicious and well-prepared. We also had their pizza with French fries on it. Overall, the atmosphere, food, and service made for a fantastic experience. If you’re in Trastevere and want great food with a fun vibe, I’d definitely recommend Caramella! Even our kids loved the vibe.
