Esperienza culinaria veramente bellissima. Mi ha attirato la storia del posto, l'utilizzo di materie prime, i tipi di cottura tra cui la frittura, mai mangiato in fritto così asciutto in un ristorante, quindi complimenti. Ma la vera chicca che ho apprezzato veramente tanto è stato il personale attento alle esigenze del cliente. Avevo ordinato la coratella coi carciofi ( veramente buona ) ma c'erano pochissimi carciofi dentro e l'ho fatto presente. Il cameriere nel giro di poco mi ha portato un piatto pieno di carciofi che ho veramente apprezzato. Si mangia benissimo. E ci ritornerò assolutamente. Piatti sia della tradizione romana sia ebraica di quest' ultima ho apprezzato il Baba Ganoush e i dolci tipici. Grazie di cuore per questa esperienza culinaria molto interessante.

Un’esperienza ottima. Questo ristorante è un vero scrigno di memoria, cultura e sapori autentici. Ogni piatto racconta una storia, preparato con una cura e un rispetto della tradizione che si percepiscono fin dal primo assaggio. I sapori genuini, i profumi che arrivano dalla cucina, mi hanno fatto rivivere il passato: pranzi di famiglia, ricette tramandate, gesti antichi ripetuti con amore. È raro trovare un luogo capace di evocare emozioni così profonde attraverso il cibo. I carciofi, i fritti, i secondi sono eseguiti con materie prime ottime, il servizio è discreto e attento, e l’atmosfera accogliente completa un’esperienza che va ben oltre il semplice mangiare. Consigliatissimo a chi cerca autenticità, tradizione.

Durante il nostro soggiorno a Roma, oltre a visitare la città e i suoi straordinari monumenti, abbiamo voluto dedicarci anche alla scoperta della cucina romanesca. Tra i vari ristoranti provati, Nonna Betta si è rivelata senza dubbio la miglior trattoria di cucina romanesca — in particolare ebraico-romanesca — che abbiamo trovato. Fin dagli antipasti siamo rimasti conquistati: i carciofi alla giudia erano semplicemente i migliori assaggiati a Roma, croccanti fuori e tenerissimi dentro, cotti alla perfezione. Ottimi anche i carciofi fritti, i falafel e il baccalà fritto, tutti preparati con grande cura e materie prime di qualità. Abbiamo poi proseguito con una deliziosa gricia con carciofi e una lasagna ricca e saporita. Tra i secondi, abbacchio al forno con patate e la coda alla vaccinara erano entrambe cucinate magistralmente, con sapori autentici e ben equilibrati. A chiudere in bellezza, una degustazione di dolci rigorosamente fatti in casa: dalla pasta fillo alle crostate ricotta e visciole e ricotta e cioccolato, fino alle crostatine alla crema con pinoli e pistacchio. Tutto davvero eccellente. Una tappa obbligatoria a Roma, nel cuore del quartiere ebraico.

Locale accogliente e caratteristico, sicuramente da provare se si vuole assaggiare la cucina giudaico-romanesca. Eravamo in 8 senza prenotazione ma in pochissimo tempo ci hanno preparato il tavolo. Lasagne ai carciofi davvero eccezionali così come il carciofo alla giudia. Servizio attento e veloce. Prezzi onesti. Da provare.

Riassunto: 2 persone, pranzo, 64 euro, tutto perfetto! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Per chi ne vuole sapere di più: Ho pranzato alcuni giorni fa (venerdì) da 'Nonna Betta', ristorante sito in quello che un tempo era il Ghetto ebraico di Roma. Ho scelto questa soluzione per un pranzo fugace, trovandomi in zona con mia moglie, attratto dalle buone recensioni e dai prezzi onesti. Sono stato piacevolmente sorpreso dall'accoglienza garbata ma per nulla invadente del personale che mi ha trovato posto all'aperto (come richiesto) sistemando immediatamente il mio tavolo dopo averlo notato 'vagamente instabile' sui sampietrini. La prima tappa al bagno per lavare le mani mi ha fatto apprezzare la pulizia del triplo bagno (uomini donne e diversamente abili). Il pasto come detto fugace: due calici di bianco della casa, due carciofi alla giudia, due primi (rivisitazioni di classici romani in stile Kosher), piatto con assaggi di dolce e 1 caffè. Le porzioni le ho trovate sufficienti in termini di quantità e le pietanze in generale veramente gustose. Totale 64 euro. Ho voluto complimentarmi con il gestore del locale per incoraggiarlo a continuare su questa strada. Qualità e prezzo non sono incompatibili ed è importante lasciare anche ai nostri turisti, il ricordo di una buona ospitalità nel nostro paese. Bravi!

This was one of the best meals I had in Rome! Fantastic service, beautiful interior, traditional Roman Jewish food. Cannot recommend more highly and cannot wait to return!

Eliz Meskener

The artichoke was delicious. I ate 2. The birds were friendly, felt like a disney princess.

Marina Nosacheva

Our experience was really positive. Jewish-style fried artichokes and the cake with ricotta and cherry jam were amazing.

Kevin Yeoh

Our first kosher meal. Food was good, except for the cod fish that was on salty side. We loved the fried artichokes. Glad we had our New Year Eve dinner here.

I had the opportunity to dine at Nonna Betta on New Year’s Eve, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The menu is a classic Roman-Jewish one, featuring traditional delicacies typical of this cuisine, and the food was so exceptional that we ended up ordering almost the entire menu. I particularly recommend the agnolotti, the artichoke parmigiana, and the fried zucchini, all of which were impeccably prepared and full of flavor. The oven-roasted lamb with potatoes was equally delicious, perfectly cooked and deeply satisfying. To drink, we chose the house wine, which pleasantly surprised us with its quality and balance. The setting is especially charming: reaching the restaurant involves weaving through the narrow alleyways of the Jewish Ghetto, and the dining room itself is spacious, bright, and welcoming. The staff were extremely friendly and impressively efficient. Despite the restaurant being fully booked and it being New Year’s Eve, service was prompt and seamless, with no more than fifteen minutes between courses. Highly recommended!

We loved everything about Nonna Betta - the food is to die for (anything with carciofi is amazing!), the service is friendly and very helpful, the location is very central, in an area taken under assault by tourists, but unlike other restaurants including some nearby, this place stands out for genuine food with recipes passed down along generations. The real thing! 👌🏻 We had a carciofi alla giudia each (probably the best I've ever tasted!), the tonnarelli with carciofi and beef (an interesting take on the original recipe), and a parmigiana di carciofi which was superlative in every way! 🌟 Topped off with a very good Cabernet Sauvignon, finishing off with some traditional desserts. We're already planning on when we get to return, as there are quite a few other options on the menu we're dying to try out! 😋 Look no further if you visit this part of Rome. It's simply great in every way

I came here to treat myself to a nice dinner — I’d just received some bonus money on a website (it’s shown in the photo attached to this review). Thought I’d make the evening special. Turned out to be a great choice: the pasta was excellent, the sauce creamy, and the portion generous.

"Absolutely loved [Nonna Betta ]! We started with the little bowls of salads, served with warm homemade pita, which were fantastic. My wife was thrilled with the Yemenite Soup; she said it was the best she ever had. I ordered the baby chicken skewers with rice, and they were perfectly grilled and so fresh, while my wife schnitzel was crispy and golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. The service was wonderful too – our waiter was very friendly and efficient, constantly making sure we were happy and refilling our drinks. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!"

Robin Rocks

Okay, it’s a little crazy. That’s because they are so busy, and THAT’S because the food is incredible. Every dish was amazing, every mouthful a new delight. Their carciofo alla gudía is the best I’ve ever had. Yes, it’s noisy. Who cares? Not to be missed.

Marina Sacco

This place is such a gem. Had a selection of appetizers and gricia. Hands down the best fried artichokes I ever tried in Rome. Extra points for the homemade pasta, which was not on my bingo card - and was delicious. Can’t recommend more!

Angelica Porreca

We went to Nonna Betta for lunch specifically for the deep fried artichoke. It was sensational. We also had another couple of dishes that were equally good. Highly recommend it.

⸻ This restaurant was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was warm and welcoming, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, which made dining outdoors especially enjoyable. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by — it’s a fantastic spot for a great meal and a relaxed, pleasant outing.

Fantastic meal. A blend of cultures and cuisines that I haven't come across before and well worth the visit. The zucchini carbonara and ricotta cake (which was served hot) were highlights. But it was all delicious.

Darran Clement

We felt like family at this wonderful restaurant. Staff were polite and attentive. The lasagne was amazing and the Jewish style mixed starters was a lovely new experience for us and tasted fantastic. This was the only restaurant in Rome that we came to twice as it was so good. Thanks to the staff who made us feel so welcome and for helping us celebrate my wife’s birthday with a candle in the dessert. I’d give 10/10 for this restaurant and recommend it highly.

A gem in the heart of the Jewish quarter. Located on the Main Street which is lined with restaurants. Nonna Betta is a standout spot serving classic Jewish dishes. The service is great, they never make you feel rushed and are happy to help decide what to order. They make you feel at home, regardless of where you come from. Food wise, the artichokes were everything I hoped they’d be, fried, perfectly light and just the right amount of salt. Next up was the artichoke pasta which was cooked to perfection. Couldn’t leave without trying one of the desserts and by the suggestion of a friend, the Baklava felt like the way to go. Everything was beyond delightful.

Ristorante tradizionale con cucina giudaico/romana... buono l'antipasto fritto misto della nonna anche se un po caro (15€) per la quantita. Carciofi fritti a 6€ l'uno (sotto la media della zona). Servizio cortese.

Tutto buono, però qualche antipasto potrebbe essere piu abbondante. Personale gentile.

Ho portato mia madre a cena in questo ristorante perché ama i carciofi, abbiamo condiviso i seguenti piatti: carciofo alla giudia, carciofo alla romana, tonnarelli cacio e pepe con carciofi (non hanno la classica "salsina" della cacio e pepe ma hanno solo il cacio grattuggiato sopra) e parmigiana di carciofi. Ogni piatto ci è piaciuto, le porzioni sono abbondanti infatti la parmigiana mi è risultata un pò pesante, ad ogni modo la frittura dei carciofi è ben fatta e non oleosa. Abbiamo accompagnato il tutto con il vino della casa che è ottimo. Infine abbiamo comopletato il pasto con una deliziosa degustazione di 5 pezzi di dolci tipici e con un buonissimo liquore alle visciole offerto dal personale. Il servizio è stato buono, il personale è gentile e disponibile. Punto a favore del ristorante: il pane, la pasta e i dolci sono fatti da loro!

I got the artichoke and the lamb ribs. The food came very quickly. The artichoke was really good I loved it. The ribs were okay, they needed more seasoning but they were not bad, and they were expensive. Overall, The place is clean and the staff is nice.

Branton Williamson

Overall a great place to get dinner in the Jewish Quarter. Our second time visiting this place and the food was just as good as it was our first time.

Came here to try some of the artichokes and cacio e pepe. The Jewish style artichoke (carciofinalla guida) was amazing with all its garlickiness and olive oil. It was very deep fried so it was easy to eat the whole thing. The cacio e pepe tonnarelli was very good. The service was ok, they seemed to be wondering if they even had space for me even though I showed up at dinner open and no one was seated or eating. Even after an hour there was no crowdedness. I'm glad they accommodated me, but that seemed a bit odd.

Purtroppo é stata una cena deludente, forse avevo delle aspettatite alte vista la storicitá del ristorante, ma devo dire purtroppo che é risultato tutto mediocre dal carciofo (molto morbido e flaccido per essere alla giudia), passando al primo (completamente slegato) e conclidendo con i dolci (impasto quasi crudo). Servizio veloce e poco attento. Spero per loro sia stata una serata negativa, ma non lo consiglio perché rispetto a qualche anno fa é sceso in tutto di parecchio.

Nonna Betta Review: Good Food, Uncomfortable Ending We visited Nonna Betta for lunch and found the culinary experience to be generally positive. This establishment is located in the historic Jewish Ghetto, and the menu offers excellent examples of Jewish-Roman cuisine. The Food Experience Overall, the food was good. We noted that the portions were small, but the dishes were prepared well and were satisfying. Highlights: The Eggplant dish was very good, showcasing great flavor and execution. The famous Carciofi alla Giudea (Artichokes, Jewish style) were also prepared well and tasted good. Averaging Out: Our fish dish, however, was only okay—not great, suggesting some inconsistency in the menu offerings. The Payment Dilemma (A Major Issue) While the kitchen staff deserves credit, the experience was significantly soured by the procedure at the time of paying. It was very uncomfortable that the payment system (presumably a digital terminal) explicitly offered only three tipping options: 10%, 15%, and 20%. This practice felt unnecessarily pushy and, frankly, not elegant. In Rome, where tipping is discretionary and not mandatory, this presentation is highly unusual. This lack of flexibility—and the subtle pressure to select a high percentage—created a bad feeling in the end. It detracted from the quality of the meal and left us with a negative final impression. Final Verdict Nonna Betta serves good, traditional Jewish-Roman food, and some dishes are excellent. However, the aggressive and restrictive tipping interface at the register is not recommended and ultimately makes the overall dining experience feel uncomfortable and commercially focused rather than guest-focused.

First of all, don't be fooled if it's important to you, it is not a Kosher restaurant. It says "Kosher" style. Anyway... The food was meh... Tuna was fresh but very much over seasoned. Falafel were densed and heavy, far from being the "best" as advertised. Humous was also not up to the standard of a middle eastern restaurant. The carbonara Zucchini was a disaster, it was more like scrambled eggs pasta . Artichoke was fine but maybe has lost its way since Anthony Bourdain visited years ago. Overall a disappointing experience.

I had the antipasti of carciofo guidia, falafel, cod baccala fiori de zucca and stewed zucchini. It was a mixed bag. The baccala and falafel were nice enough but the stewed zucchini was unpleasant …

The fried artichokes were good. Everything else was "meh." The tonnarelli caccio e pepe I ordered were beyond al dente and uncooked in the middle. Fun atmosphere and waitstaff, though.
