Tony loves this place

I love everything about this place. My wife and I found it late one night when they were closing and Sandro stayed open to fix us an amazing meal. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Who else would bring you a "rabbit" out of the hat. To Sandro and your staff, thank you for REAL food. I look forward to spending many happy years with you. Only my grandmother's cooking came close :)

All the best, Tony & Helene & Friends

Excellent food, considerate service

My wife and I are foodies, we own a house in Italy, and we really know Italian food and the way it should be eaten (we wouldn't dream of ordering pasta for a main course or drinking cappuccino after dinner). Take it from us, Sandro's is very authentic and very good. We had an octopus salad, which blew us away. It was the best octopus salad I've ever eaten. I was less impessed with carciofi alla giudea, which is one of my all-time Roman favorites, It was ok, but not great. Spaghettini with lemon were a winner, the best I've had since my last visit to the Isle of Capri. The service was very good. Our boisterous 4-year old knocked down his glass of orange juice, and we were immediately moved to a different table. He also got a dish of simple rigatoni with tomato sauce, which was to die for. All in all, a real neighborhood gem. Whoever wrote that other horirid review of Sandro's clearly doesn't know first thing about Roman food.

I have eaten here three times and am heading back for a fourth. Excellent food and service. The lemon pasta is a treat.

Best Restaurant Outside of Italy

by jaynovella at Citysearch

Best restaurant in the city!!! My fiance and I are real foodies, and we were absolutely shocked at the quality of the food. It is the best Italian food that I've had outside of Italy. My family is from Southern Italy, and this is the best food I've had since I last visited them. This restaurant is for people who truly know food and have a discerning palette. Go and enjoy!!!

Excellent food

I agree with the other review, i don't usually do this but the first review is very unfair to Sandro's. I first went to Sandro's to write a review on it, and I have been going back ever since. You always feel welcome at Sandro's, and if by any chance you don't the food is reason alone to go. I am a member of the associated press and Chef Sandro knows his Italian food. My personal favorite is the spaghettini al limone, and at the end of my meal I was offered a complimentary glass of grappa. Chef Sandro always comes out into the dining hall to greet the customers and to make sure that his food follows his reputation.
