Authentic Kerala-focused Indian spot near Trastevere Station with bold flavors and great breads; expect occasional long waits and some dish availability gaps.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Ristorante Indiano Tom & Ann delivers authentic Kerala specialties with standout breads and roasts that justify its loyal following, but inconsistent execution—particularly long waits and occasional oiliness on fried items—prevents a higher grade. Warm, functional space and fair pricing make it a solid neighborhood choice for Kerala cuisine, though not a destination restaurant.
Restaurant Summary
A short walk from Trastevere Station, Tom & Ann feels warm and homely rather than polished. Diners call out the Kerala specialties with lines like, "the beef roast with porotta took us back," and praise the kind, welcoming staff. The room is simple, sometimes lively, and prices land comfortably mid-range. The cooking leans traditional Kerala and South Indian over fusion showmanship: flaky parotta, appam, dosa, butter chicken, fish curry, and mutton classics. Flavors are bold and customizable for heat, with plenty for vegetarians. Some guests report long waits and the occasional oily fry or unavailable paneer, but many find the food worth the patience. Families do well here thanks to familiar crowd-pleasers like naan, appam, butter chicken, and mild lentils. The menu has several vegetarian and a few vegan-friendly dishes. If your kid prefers plain flavors, ask for mild spice; adventurous eaters can lean into Kerala roasts and crispy dosas.
