“ This place is run by a husband and wife who make authentic ethopian dishes. They are more than friendly and make you feel at home while eating amazing food. Giovanni was very helpful in explaining the menu and encouraged us to eat with our hands to make it a real experience. The food was 10/10. Would highly recommend! ”
“ Hand-cut Kitfo and Gored Gored Giovanni’s restaurant is a must whenever I am in Rome. The best Ethiopian food in town served by a friendly and funny host. ”
“ The samosa and cous cous are good appetizer, but I think too much food. Good food, friendly owner, nice Ethiopian decor ”
“ This is the most amazing restaurant in the world!!!! Giovanni and his wife are the kindest most loving people and their food is absolutely incredible. One of the best meals and experiences I’ve had in Rome!!! ”
“ This was one of our favorite dinners in all of Italy and some of the best Ethiopian food we've had ever! The host, Giovanni, was incredibly friendly, kind and made us feel comfortable and made sure we had our food prepared just as we like it as we ordered the kitfo, which is a Berbere spiced beef dish traditionally prepared raw. Many people like it slightly cooked but he confirmed to make sure we had it prepared to our likings (YOU MUST HAVE IT RAW-it is so addicting!) The meat was perfectly seasoned and all the veggies were flavorful and comforting. the injera was also tasty. The prices are very fair and the service was quick. His wife was the cook, and it was just nice to be at a cozy family run place where it feels like friends are cooking you dinner :) You must go- I will certainly return when I go back to Rome and will try the chicken and egg dish as it looks INCREDIBLE! Thanks Giovanni :) I wish I took a better photo but we we're hungry and it's impossible not to dive in when this aromatic food its placed in front of you! ”
“ Foods were really good and fresh! It was the best meal in Rome so far. Giovanni is so sweet and nice. I would definitely come back. Don’t miss this place out!! ”
“ Great Ethiopian food. While this may have not been the best I’ve ever had it was by far the best overall experience. The owner was so kind and sweet. He took the time to explain everything and recommending different dishes. We got some apps (so yum!) and a sample of all the meat and veg. Their injera was so spongy and delicious. Great portions too! ”
