Reservation for Armando al Pantheon Restaurant

When I was last in Rome, I ate at Armando al Pantheon twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. What worked for me was figuring out the time difference between Rome and where I was, and then going on the website at the exact time that reservations opened up for the dates I wanted. Despite that, more desirable evening times were already booked. I also checked the website regularly for a few days in advance so I could figure out if one month meant 30 days, 31 days, the same day of the week the next month, or whatever. The restaurant is not very large but certainly worth the effort to get in.

@happytottavel. thank you for your prompt reply. I plan to do the same: visit Armando’s reservation calendar few day BEFORE AND ON JUNE 27, 28 for reservations on JULY 27, 28, keeping time difference (EST is 9 hours ahead of PDT) in mind. But, to be honest, I have a sinking feeling this process will NOT WORK. So, I will try to appeal by email, although they have already declared they will IGNORE SUCH REQUESTS. 😩. What else cannI do but try the best methods, as I see them. Will keep this forum informed of my efforts and results. 🤞 for future travelers to Rome.

Hello JEEPU. We are in Siena now, so I thought I would see if there was any difference being in country. Unfortunately, not. According to the website, they only have 20 seats available for making reservations. I do not know what you see when you look at the webpage, but this is just part of the information. I hope this helps in some way. Good luck.

Book a table
* Reservations are open for 30 days (e.g. May 5th – June 4th) if they are unavailable, it is because they are already fully booked. If dates over 30 days (e.g. 18 June considering that you are booking on 5 May) are cancelled, it is because they are still unavailable. The system works. Reservations open daily from midnight. There are few places, so be patient... At the moment there is no telephone contact.

Don't become discouraged by the dates all being crossed out. If you are able to, visit their reservations site several times a day beginning one month before your trip. We were able to obtain reservations during both our recent visits and while some will say it is not worth it, we absolutely loved being in the small and intimate restaurant.

Thank you both for your replies, one from Siena, no less! In the link for reservations, from US, I see the same directions you posted, and discouragingly, ALL FUTURE L DATES CROSSED OUT.
But, I feel encouraged by Frzummo87‘s reply.
BEFORE the one-month deadline arrives on JUNE 27/28, I will VIDIT RESERVATIONS WEBSITE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY RELIGIOUSLY, hoping I will be able to make at least ONE RESERVATION🤞.
We will stay in Hotel Delle Nazioni, very near Trevi Fountain, a walking distance from Armando for two nights, before departing on Sun Princess Western Med cruise.. I have read many recommendations for Armando in RS Forums & don’t want to miss this chance. Please wish me luck! I will report my experience with reservations and cuisine, if I am able to eat there.

I'm sure you will get a table. But if you do not, it's not a big deal. Armando is a very good Roman restaurant. Roman, not Italian. It's very good (I've eaten there several times; just a few years ago we just phoned the day before and got a table for lunch but I guess it's become more famous these days) but: There are many others that are equally good and if you would like, I will give you some recommendations. Where are you staying in Rome?

Ekscrunchy, we would love to hear about your recommendations!

Ekscrunchy: Thanks for your encouraging reply about getting reservations @ Armando D P. It won’t be for the lack of trying, starting BEFORE ONE MONTH of date needed.

We (2) will be staying very close to TREVI FOUNTAIN, in HOTEL Delle NAZIONI, Via Poli 6, walking distance to Armando Please send your recommendations for equally good. ROMAN CUISINE restaurant near our hotel in Central Rome.

Separately, do you recommend getting advance TIMED-RESERVATIONS for Pantheon, Colosseum & Roman Forum, rather than just walking in to avoid LONG LINES in AUGUST?
MILLE GRAZIE.
