Trattoria PennestriB+
Via Giovanni da Empoli, 5, 00154 Roma RM, Italy
· Roman restaurant, Italian restaurant, Meat dish restaurant
· Ostiense
A Bib Gourmand Roman trattoria with contemporary touches, standout pastas and chocolate mousse, warm service, and occasional long waits; best with a reservation.
Our take
Trattoria Pennestri delivers solid Roman cooking with exceptional pasta execution and standout sauces that justify its Bib Gourmand status and loyal following. Friendly, knowledgeable service and a warm modern setting create a welcoming neighborhood experience. However, quality variation during peak service and occasional pacing delays prevent grade A territory—reliable but not consistently exceptional.
One caveat: Peak-hour waits can be lengthy; reserve and arrive on time to reduce delays
