About this business
SPQR is a Roman Osteria, which means an informal Italian restaurant which features wine. The restaurant is very small, which creates a cozy atmosphere and a long wait for a table. SPQR does not take reservations, and the larger your party the longer your wait. However, once you have tasted the food the wait will be worth it. SPQR serves traditional Italian cuisine that is both simple and incredibly flavorful. Don't forget to ask your waiter about the perfect wine to go with your meal. With a glass of wine and plate of Gnocch... read more

Dont Bother – The food was less than stellar, which wasn't helped by the the two hour wait. Their saving grace is the great staff - our hostess and server were gracious and really fun. Too much pork on the menu and the pastas were really bland. Nothing at all like A16. Shut it.
Bland and cramped – I have to join the ranks of those who just don't get what the fuss is about. I've been there twice and had pedestrian food (at best) both times -- the food was not only bland but uninspired conceptually. The appetizer on my first visit was dense and tasteless. Tried the soup the next time and it too was absolutely without flavor (despite having a liberal amount of pancetta). The pastas were a bit better, but certainly nothing to swoon over and not even so good as those found at many other restaurants in S... read more
Great food, but expect to wait an hour or more for a table – I read the review in the Chronicle went there with a few friends on a Thursday night. I arrived at 6PM & did not get a table until 7:30PM. There is NO room to wait except for the bar, which seats only 10 people. At 7:15 the hostess said it would be ANOTHER 20 minutes. Luckily a few seats at the bar opened up & we sat & ordered 3 appetizers (fried mozzarella, sausage with lentils & proscuitto w/ olives) & a wine. The food arrives VERY fast & is extremely good, but w... read more
I guess I need to try SPQR again – Apparently I need to try this restaurant again. I went shortly after they opened and was very disappointed. As someone who lived in Rome, the food does not compare to anything you would find there. the suppli' were decent but they definitely need to work on presentation of this dish (as well as their other plates). i found the restaurant extremely inconsistent from a decorative perspective too. the owners apparently could not decide between new age, modern design and rustic elements. the gl... read more
The food-and-wine talent behind A16 bring a no-reservations Roman-osteria concept and seasonal menu to Fillmore's dining strip. – The Scene In keeping with the spirit of Roman cuisine, which eschews the heavy use of spices and lets the simplicity of a dish's main ingredients stand on its own, this one-room space is white-walled austerity through and through. With table seating up front and a small, curved, marble-topped bar in back, there's little to distract the crowd of young professionals waiting for seats and dining from... read more
Tales of the finger lickin? Line – Warm thoughts about tasty meatballs bathed in a rich tomato sauce and chocolate desserts that leave me speechless grace my mind when I think of A16...I thought SPQR would much likely follow suit. The space is pleasant, the display behind the bar is catchy to the eye and the food at glance appears to be of great design. Simple pastas and meats, as well as an array of sides that should please any hungry palate. We ordered the "fried mozzarella," that appeared to be on every table as we entere... read more
What Fillmore Street Has Been Craving – As sad as I was to see Chez Nous go, I am beyond excited with its replacement. Althought the wait can be a bit long, the food is well worth it. Everything we ordered from the Antipasti to the pasta was outstanding.
Friendly service, crowded, average food, avoid on Friday/Saturday nights - overrated – Great location, friendly service, average (and really salty) food (we actually had to send it back to the kitchen) ...we will truly miss Chez Nous. SPQR is not even in the same league. No reservations = long wait for a table in a crowded/loud room.
Roman holiday for food lovers – Impressive opening. All the appetizers were scrumptious, but the fried suppli (risotto croquettes with mozzarella) were amazing. All the homemade pastas we tried made us swoon, specially the classic carbonara. Great wine list, fun vibe, and friendly service = successful restaurant. They need to add noise reduction but I hear it is in the works.
