Da Massi

Love this place. Authentic Italian homemade cuisine. Came across it as we were walking and the host is from the family that owns the restaurant. Majority if not all the food was home made. Tasty and very friendly people. Offered a good German beer «Kloster Scheyern» and a good Italian one called «Angelo Poretti.» 2 of the desserts were homemade by the waiter’s wife! Seems like a really family oriented place. Really nice atmosphere and reasonably priced. The bread was tasty too!

This place was right next door to our apartment, and strangely we didn’t eat here until right before we left for the airport for lunch. I’m so glad we did the food was perfect.

Stumbled into this place during our day in Trastevere. Great food, good ambiance, and price. Enjoyed our meal and people watching during lunch.

We were trying to get into another restaurant in the area but it was completely booked for the evening. Da massi was able to get us right in, so we gave it a try. Both pasta dishes we ordered were very good and pasta was very fresh. We had a liter of the house wine and for house wine, it was good. We had the bruschetta for our app and it was delicious. Very simple and different from what we get in the states. It was thick slices of tomato on crusty italian bread with fresh basil and olive oil. The tomatoes were delicious! So fresh and flavourful! Highly recommend the bruschetta if you love tomatoes. My husband doesn’t like tomatoes at home in the US, but even he said this was delicious. The freshness of the food makes all the difference.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal for our last night in Rome. Located in the heart of Trastavere, there was a ton of people walking around and enjoying the town. We waited around 20 minutes for a table at 9:30pm, since we did not have a reservation. The restaurant was packed full of locals. The owner was outside and stayed and talked with us. He was very nice and spoke decent english, telling us about his travels to Los Angeles and Las Vegas the previous year.
What we ate:
— Traditional Antipasti (cold cuts and mozarella)
— Porcini w/​tagliatelle
— Spaghetti a la Carbonara
— 1L house wine
Everything was delicious, and the service was great. After 1L of wine for 2, we stumbled back to our hotel, full and satisfied.

Pleasant surprise to find while visiting the places in Travestere. Comfortable dining room with table cloths that match the accompanying napkins. Good service and very tasty Roman cuisine.
