What a great spot! They were helpful and as quick as a Roman lunch can be. My husband and I made the mistake of ordering onto one pizza to share and very quickly had to put in an order for a second . The ingredients were fresh and the pizza cooked to perfection. On a sunny day with a cold beer, it was simply perfect.

Reasonable prices, great taste, lots of vegetarian options and flexibility! The pizzas are ultra thin almost like a chip, a bit overladen with cheese and the sauce is just alright. The vegetarian lasagna is heavy on the cheese as well, and is mushroom based (no tomato sauce). The egg and bean salad was a fresh and healthy choice.

During our tour break near the coliseum, we chose to eat at Alle Carrette for lunch. They had tables inside and outside but we chose in, since it was a warm day. We were seated immediately and offered drinks soon after. Our server's English was not very solid, so when my wife ordered a 1/2 liter of Chardonnay, she was brought champagne. I stuck with still water. We each ordered a pizza. She said they were personal sized but they were Americas version of a medium pizza. My wife got a gluten free ham and cheese and I got tagliatelle cherry tomato and prosciutto. I didn't taste hers but mine was exceptional. It was lightly sauced and loaded with cheese and meat. In the end it came to $33.00 euros plus tip.

Loved this "hidden" spot for the tourists but obviously known to locals. Simple wooden chair and tables. No AC. There are some fans . Staff was kind to us. Service was quick , pizza did not Take long to come out of the oven. (Note : pizza is not cut..you cut it yourself). It was hot fresh and more thin and crispy. Our pizza was a Margherita with prosciutto and it is laid out across the top. This is normal in Italy. Caprese was fresh and delicious. Worth the hunt to find.

This was our first Italian meal in Italy (we had dinner our first night at an Indian restaurant). We had spent our first full morning in Rome touring the Colosseum and the Forum. We wrapped up at or just after noon (on a Monday). We checked some nearby places and set out on foot to look for lunch. This place was located about 2 blocks from the exit from the Forum (the one on Via dei Fori Imperiali). The entrance was actually via a small side street. We were offered the option of sitting inside our outside. It was a relatively nice day, so we opted for outside. Their 'patio' was more like a dead-end section of a small alley from which you could see a larger street. This is not a complaint; it was clean and quiet, but the tables were set on the pavement and you were bounded by walls on 3 sides. The tables had umbrellas, but I think the area was mostly in shadow at that hour anyway. The temperature was fine. As a slight aside, a lot of the restaurants we ate at on our trip (which featured Italian food) looked somewhat the same inside. Not American franchise sameness, but more similar than I'd expect for unrelated businesses. If you opted to dine outside, there seemed to be a bit more variety in your surroundings, which was nice. Our server was busy with multiple tables, but managed to stop by before long. I think we all opted for different varieties of pizza. We got 'still water' in a bottle, as there is no free water at restaurants here. When our pizzas arrived, I was initially skeptical tht we could each eat one - they appeared larger than what I'd term a 'personal pizza'. However, there was another difference - the pizza crust was fairly thin. Hence, you were not eating that much bread versus what was expected. We actually were able to finish the pies and we didn't feel bloated. A thin pizza like this is actually a decent lunch portion. I got a 3-ingredient variant, but the restaurant was partial to arugula so there was a LOT of it. I liked it, though I did pick off a bit of arugula. I don't recall what the other 2 people ordered, but everyone thought the food was good. At one point, a street musician came up and was playing at the fringe of the dining area. No one was making requests but after he finished, he circulated to most tables and wanted the audience to contribute. I thought it was a bit more aggressive than the busking I was used to. He skipped our table and a couple others, luckily. This was the only time I observed this sort of thing. We dined inside mostly. If you are at the Forum or in the general area, this place is a good meal option.

Good tasty thin pizza. Unbelievable, too, how quickly the pizza gets to your table, too. Off the beaten path, we were surrounded by more locals than American tourists. And their English is more proficient than our Italian. Very friendly service, we were treated as if we were loyal, local customers.

Grabbed a quick, cheap lunch here after visiting the colosseum. It was BUSY, but things moved quickly. We grabbed a few glasses of prosecco, the antipasti platter, and the crazy pizza. I was expecting a variety of food on the antipasti platter, but it was all meats. Pizza was good. Service was good. No complaints!

Food: 5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.75/5 After a visit to the colosseum and the Roman forum, we wandered into a dead end alley way and there was Alle Carrette. We first ordered a tomato bruschetta and the Alle Carrette. The tomato bruschetta was a good balance of crunchy and juicy from the tomato. For 2.50€, it wasn't too special but it was not bad. We wanted more, and ended up ordering another bruschetta prosciutto for 3€. We liked the tomato bruschetta more as it was juicy, while the prosciutto bruschetta was dry. The Alle Carrette was good. It was not cut into slices which gave a more authentic feel.

We had some lovely vino with lunch. It was on the warmer side, so we went with a white wine. Had two Suppli which was new for us. It is similar to arancini, but is a Roman specialty made with tomato and mozzarella in addition to other "surprises". Can't go wrong with a deep fried rice ball to start. Then had a pizza perfectly made in a wood fired oven. Crunchy exterior with soft pillowy crust. Just straight basil and mozzarella on a tomato sauce (just tomato). This is how pizza should be made and set the bar high for the rest of the trip.
