We went to Alfredo in Rome for lunch (3 of us) and yes it absolutely lived up to the hype.
We ordered raw artichokes, vitello tonnato, Fettuccine Alfredo, calamari and prawns, alla romana artichoke, tiramisu and Italian beer. Everything was good, but the Fettuccine Alfredo is the star. They mix it in front of you and tell you the story of how the dish was created, which makes the whole experience feel special. We loved it so much we even bought the sauce and fresh fettuccine from the restaurant to bring back home.
Just a small heads up: even with a reservation, you still need to wait in line. Not a big deal, but good to know.
The vibe is cozy, authentic, but definitely touristy. Service was friendly and punctual, and overall it’s a really nice Roman experience.
Worth it? Yes.

The signature pasta was moderately tasty. Our mistake was ordering white truffle with it. We love truffles and always/often order dishes with white truffles. This one was the absolute worst: a complete lack of truffle aroma and flavor. A complete disappointment. For 80 euros (the price of a serving of truffles in one pasta), you’d expect more than tasteless white leaves on your plate. But the pasta itself was delicious. The atmosphere is typical of a Roman restaurant. The service was a bit haughty, as if they were doing you a favor by preparing your food and condescendingly explaining what and how you should eat it. I doubt we’ll ever come back.

If you have the opportunity to indulge in one elegant and upscale dinner in Rome, this is truly the perfect place to do so. The atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience were exceptional from start to finish.
One of the highlights is the fettuccine, which is prepared right in front of you while the waiter gives a charming and engaging explanation of its history — a lovely touch that elevates the experience even further. While the fettuccine is clearly the star of the menu, everything else we tried was equally refined and delicious.
The tiramisu, in particular, was outstanding. An essential stop for anyone seeking a refined, memorable, and truly luxurious dining experience in Rome.

Alfredo alla Scrofa was on my list after seeing it on TikTok, and I made the trek specifically for our group to try the famous fettuccine Alfredo. This restaurant is known for its long history and connection to the original Roman-style Alfredo, which traditionally relies on butter and Parmigiano Reggiano rather than the richer, cream-based versions many people are used to today. 
We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was great. The service was efficient, and you can tell they run on a steady flow of visitors. That said, the overall vibe did feel a bit touristy.
Most of our group ordered the signature Alfredo. I completely respect that they have preserved the traditional approach for so many years, but personally, it did not land for me. When I tried it, it tasted watery and underseasoned.
I was the only one who had ordered the carbonara, and it was easily the standout of the table. It was genuinely delicious and the best pasta in our group.
If you are coming specifically for the original-style Alfredo, it is worth trying once for the history alone. Just know it is very different from the modern creamy version many people expect. I am glad I went, but I would not return for the signature dish

Long before Alfredo became a worldwide classic, it was a simple Roman moment. In the early 20th century, a Roman restaurateur named Alfredo created a comforting pasta dish for his wife, made only with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano. No cream, no tricks, just perfect balance. That dish quietly made history when Hollywood actors tasted it, fell in love with it, and carried the story back to the world. From that moment, Alfredo sauce stopped being just food and became a legend.
At Alfredo alla Scrofa, that legacy is still very much alive. The restaurant keeps the spirit of the original recipe while offering a warm and elegant Roman dining experience. The atmosphere is classic, comfortable, and full of character, making you feel like you are part of a long culinary tradition rather than just a guest.
The food was genuinely good. Rich, well balanced, and full of flavor without being heavy. Every dish felt carefully prepared, respecting the roots of Roman cuisine. The restaurant itself was nice, calm, and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal in the heart of Rome.
What truly stood out was Alfredo himself. Very kind, friendly, and attentive, adding a personal touch that makes the experience even more special. This is not just a restaurant, it is a story served on a plate.

While in Rome, we wanted to try the originator of Fettuccine Alfredo!
We did reserve a table for a la carte option online and although the restaurant looked full, it seemed they could accommodate walk-ins at opening time (6:30pm) in November.
The place looks historic with many celebrity/VIP photos on the walls. Host and severs were nice.
Started off with Aperol Spritz, some bread and olive oil, and Giuda Artichoke. Artichoke was crispy but definitely on the oily side. For entrees we of course ordered the legendary Fetticune Alfredo (which is made tableside) and the Arrabbiata Spaghetti. The Arrabbiata sauce was amazing and had so much depth in flavor. Definitely a little on the spicy side.
The Fetticune Alfredo lived up to the hype. The noodles were delicately light and the sauce was super smooth and velvety. The server preparing the dish explained to us the inception and history of the dish.
Great place to dine at for dinner!

Been there with my wife. We sat outside, and it was December. The food was delicious. The service was so-so, as the waiters are not heart welcoming. The pasta and steak were great without a doubt. The Tiramisu was devine. The one thing that bothered me the most was that the heater next to our table was out of gas, so it just died, and they told us there’s no replacement, so it staid off. We had to move a table and the heater next to the new table also died, but that happened at the end of our stay, so we got “lucky”

This is a “must visit” for anyone visiting this amazing city …. the home of “Alfredo”.
Really good menu with plenty to choose from.
The Classic pasta Alfredo is really enjoyable if you like creamy, cheesy flavours. I’d highly recommend that you order the Truffle, it’s very expensive but it totally finishes off this once in a lifetime visit.
Service was good but the restaurant is so busy that service comes down to a personal level, its still good though.
Big queue outside so make sure you book in advance.

Alfredo alla Scrofa is a legendary Roman restaurant and absolutely worth a visit. This is the birthplace of the original Fettuccine Alfredo, and tasting it here feels like experiencing a piece of culinary history. The pasta is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced – simple yet unforgettable.
The restaurant itself has a charming and elegant atmosphere, with walls filled with photos of famous guests who have dined here over the decades. It feels like stepping into both a dining room and a museum of Roman culture.
Service was attentive and professional, with staff eager to explain the history behind the dish and make the evening special. The wine selection complemented the meal perfectly, and the desserts were equally delightful.
Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than a casual trattoria, but the experience is unique and iconic. For anyone visiting Rome, Alfredo alla Scrofa is not just a meal – it’s a tradition and a memory you’ll take with you.

Honestly overall atmosphere is very nice for a dinner, their famous Alfredo pasta was tasty, though it had quite a lot of Parmesan, but great if you love cheese, maybe a bit much if you don’t.
I personally got the artichoke and risotto and it was excellent, definitely the highlight of the meal. The tiramisu was not amazing, it tasted mostly like mascarpone.
