Why Travelers Love Ai Tre
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great food, tiny restaurant. We were walking past and were drawn by the floral exterior. Restaurant looked crowded and bustling during lunch, so we decided to give it a chance. Managed to get a seat with minimal wait. Food came quickly and was good. Wished we had space to try the Tiramisu. We saw many people ordering it. Not the place to eat although they have some delicious choices of small meals and we had the chicken in sauce (had to order potatoes on the side because it does not come with anything). But they do have some delicious wines and beers. The service is great, the guys are charming, the environment very upbeat and fun. Very busy place, we were able to get seated outside at lunch after a small wait. Simple and tasty. Meatballs were very good! I was so excited to have such a great Greek salad after weeks of eating little to no raw vegetables in Italy 😂

Beautiful restaurant set in beautiful Monti! Service was very friendly, with a smile and nice. Food was delicious. We got a lot of appetizers to try and then had the ricotta ravioli/ Cacio I Pepe and it was sublime! Highly recommend this place! Prices are great. Super cute patio and lots of space inside too. Enjoy! Ciao! 🇮🇹🍝

Great food, the main courses and desserts were light and tasty. Good selection of wines, including rosé and orange. Service was fast and efficient, but at times it was difficult to get waiters' attention. We sat by the counter, which wasn't the most comfortable experience, but allowed us to get inside in less than 10 minutes wait time.
