RIP OFF! Ordered two croissants, two cappuccinos, and a fruit bill. Bill came to $42.50 euros. Menu had no prices...should have consulted Yelp before dining here. read more

Don't do it. They charged us 18€ per beer. Absolutely ridiculous. Add to that the shitty customer service and attitude to guests in their restaurant. Spazzatura! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. We were tired and hungry with 3 kids in tow and this was the first place that we saw. Here is the modus operandi for the ripoff. First they don't show you a menu. Then they pretend to get the order wrong and extra items you did not order. So there is a chance you may just decide to get it. The food is stale. The bread worse (they don't offer it, you have to ask and you get it in wrappers so they can recycle the unused stale bread). and finally when the bill comes it is astronomical. 8 euros for an OJ or a beer. €15 for an entree. Just not something you would expect to see for the kind of food they give you or the ambience. The trick like I'd said is to not show you the menu or the prices till the very end. Can I make it any clearer? AVOID AVOID AVOID. read more

Beware!!! This is where we spent the most money for food in the whole country of Italy for their ready-made food and heated by microwave. Total rip-off!!! read more

Food is awful, overpriced and service is worse. You end up here when you're desperate after the Papal mass.

Too expensive for mediocre food and service. Vegetables were over cooked and fish was not fresh. A cup of Amercano is €5. Not recommended. read more

They charged us almost 300 for some snacks and drinks. No prices were listed, avoid!!!!!!!

Total tourist trap! Be warned. 45€ for three salads. Our main dishes were microwaved. read more

Bar Moretto - Buffets Near Me - Rome, RM

See all

ZERO STARS!!!! I didn't want to come here; based on its location and atmosphere, I could tell it was going to be a tourist trap. However, the three tired women I was with insisted on stopping at the first place they saw. A coke was €6! The food was outrageously priced! Four of us shared two entrees and each had a coke and our bill was €80. This is unacceptable! Of course, this had a service charge added on. Then the waiter told us upon dropping of the check that we had to tip him because the service charge goes to the restaurant and not to him. I was furious and didn't want to leave anything but he stood at the table until we left him a tip! My friend asked for more money because she only had €2 and I said that's too much, we're not leaving any more than that. I wouldn't have even left that, but my friend that was paying hates confrontation so she chose to do so. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! This place is pure trash 18 euro for a beer. Can you believe it! Absolutely disgusting. They didn't serve us a menu and didn't tell us the prices. They don't care about the customer at all. They are just out for your money. Spazzatura pura! Pure trash! read more

On the same street with Saint Peter's Square and the entrance to Vatican Museums. Huge tourist trap and extremely expensive. Family of 5 sat down ordered three meals and the total was around €135 ($185). I was floored when the bill came, I should have know better since there were no prices listed by the buffet. A simple pasta with red sauce and fries was €25. I have been to Italy 3 times before each for over a couple of weeks and this is by far the worst place we have ever eaten. read more

Yup They got me and my girlfriend. I may as well have walked out with no pants on I felt that stupid. Never again will this happen. Ask for prices, they don't display them. I wish I could stay for another week just to boycott them, I would make sure no one walks in. Outrageous bill for the two of to eat. Karmas a bitch and I hope it finds this suckhole soon. read more

I wish I could turn back time and catch the signs of this tourist trap. In hindsight, there were many. They were very reluctant to hand over a menu and the customer turnover rate was extremely high, even by North American standards (I'm from Canada). They encouraged us to choose from a display of pre-cooked food, which looked good enough, but was set up cafeteria style. I guess the price didn't even cross my mind because of this. The food that we ordered should not have cost as much as it did even if it was fresh. €12 for lasagna and €20 for fetuccini. We asked for house wine, thinking we were being budget conscious. €18 for one 375ml bottle of wine- that wasn't even good. It's a shame that they are able to get away with this. It was my only bad experience in Rome. Shame on Caffe Moretto. read more

Truly a ripoff. What a disaster of a restaurant. Worst restaurant in Rome. Be prepared for a bill 5x what you would expect at similar cafe around the corner. AVOID!!!! read more

After spending hours at the Vatican, we desired a HOT cappucino. It was lukewarm. Unfortunately we decided to get a bite to eat. One of us ordered a stuffed baguette. It came on flatbread and was bland and, contrary to menu description, had an end-cut tomato and less than memorable mozarrella. The other ordered a caprese salad -- terrible tomatoes, mozzarrella hard, mainly lettuce. A terrible commentary on caprese salads. We ordered a second cappucino and stressed "molto caldo." It also came lukewarm. When we finally got the attention of the waiter, who was nowhere to be seen, we complained. He said it got cold because it was cool out. Hardly. To add to the adding to the justice, we were blamed that we didn't raise the issue soon enough and the cool weather (mid-70s) was to blame. Then we were advised that their credit card connection was not working so we had to pay cash. The restroom was pathetic. In this unisex bathroom, one door was broken; the second bathroom had not been flushed. Just a pathetic tourist trap that doesn't deserve anyone's business. AVOID!! IF I COULD RATE THIS RESTAURANT A ZERO, THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD GET. RE COST, A RIPOFF! read more

avoid this place!! they don't tell you the prices for anything and overcharge and take advantage of you. the food is all reheated, nothing is fresh or good at all. they were aggressive and gave us a card with pictures of food instead of a real menu. they upcharged our friend for his meal and charged him for the most expensive steak on the menu. do not go here it is a rip off and waste of money! read more

Man I should have checked the internet before I went in. My wife and son were too hungry and couldn't wait. Well that was a mistake as we paid 60 eur for some bad pasta bad coffee and a crossiant that was worse than the one I had on a Turkish airline flight. I guess you have to get ripped off at least once in Italy. Lessons learned. Stay away read more

For the the love of God and papa Francesco, DON'T GO HERE. It pained me to even give them one star. Unfortunately you will probably read this review after eating here and getting robbed similar to what my friends and I did. If this is the case I am here for you and take comfort in the fact that all these people below have suffered the same fate. 83€ for 3 gelato, 1 muffin and 4 coffees...I'm sorry WHAT. They don't show you the menu, they just usher you in and quickly ask what you want to get your orders in before scamming you hardcore with their RIDICULOUS prices. To top it all off the food is ass. Need I say more? Because I could. But I won't. JUST DON'T GO HERE. read more

Unfortunately, didn't check the prior reviews before trying this. Hope y'all do better and avoid. Really overpriced and the bolognese was cold - shameful! They also didn't offer us a menu so we couldn't check the price - our own fault but we had a cranky 3 year old and just needed somewhere to sit and eat lunch...it just shouldn't have been here! read more

awful!!!!!! Please be careful! We just walked in to get pastries and they made us sit down. It's 3-4 times the cost to sit down! Don't make the stupid mistake we did read more

Walk away!!!! Do not go in there. If you're a tourist and are hungry and tired from the Vatican visit, you'll be tempted to go in--like we did. It's a trap. The waiter is brazen, rude, and aggressive. He'll push a menu in your face and press you to order. The menu had pictures but NO PRICES. You won't even realize the menu has no prices because the whole time, he's standing there and intimidating you into ordering. As visitors, we're not fluent and felt apologetic for not quite understanding what is going on. Think, if someone from your home country acts that way, what would you do? Get up and get out of there. There are plenty of restaurants two, three blocks away. The food costed at least twice as much as other restaurants. It's dirty. We felt terrible. Horrible service from a nasty place. In hindsight, we wouldn't have gone in if we knew it's a restaurant from hell, at the doorstep of the Vatican. read more

Should have looked into yelp reviews before walking into this place. Food was horrible, tasted like things were cooked from a can. Also extremely expensive, a coffee was 8€ and tasted like burnt grounds. Worst meal I've had in Europe. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

** BIGGEST RIP OFF EVER** six pieces of pizza 94 Euro's. To make matters worse, the food was not very good! They take advantage of each tourist just once! NO ONE would ever go back there. AVOID AVOID AVOID! read more

Never again. When I first walked inside there were about 4 workers at the entrance who saw me walk in, but no one greeted. My server seemed kind of rude and was picky about where she wanted me to sit (what restaurant does that?), and I had to ask more than twice for the same thing. The food is not that special and I was very disappointed in what was brought to me. I asked for a simple pancake meal complete with eggs and bacon, but my server bought me stacked Nutella pancakes, with way to much Nutella on it. The fresh juice was good and the establishment was neat and well put together, that's about it. And I was able to write this post without any interruptions from my server. She checked on my one time out the the 45 minutes I've been sitting here. At check out I had to be the one to get up and to to the front even though I saw my server give two tables their bills. They also tried to overcharge me for the pancake meal that I did not get. So I had a stack of 3 Nutella pancakes (10€), a glass of fruit juice (8€), and green tea (5€). They tried to charge me 39€ when my bill was actually 23€ I think the original meal I wanted was like 24€ cause the cashier lady apologized and took off the 2$€ tax. Also, a guy that works there bumped into me causing me to drop change out of my wallet (which I think was on purpose) and he didn't even turn around to say sorry. read more

Avoid this place, overpriced, average food, pushy staff. Simple lunch (pasta, beef wrap, side dishes) cost €60!

BE WARE, RIP OFF Cafe. Waiter double our bill and when we asked for an itemized receipt, he forgot how to speak English. DO NOT GO There!

Complete tourist trap! Extremely high prices and poor service. We ate at many places while in Rome and no one else ripped us off like this place. BEWARE!!! The reviews are all bad for a reason. read more

We paid 40 euro for two cups of poor latte and two pieces of dry and non tasty cake. This is if any a tourist trap.

This place serves $ food - don't be fooled by $$$$ rating. Because of its location, I expected I would pay $$ for $ food. It's still OK. But after finishing the meal, the biil was $$$$. So you should expect pay quadruple of what is worth. That's how it's rated $$$$ on yelp. So if you are willing to pay $$$$ for $ food, sit down and eat, Otherwise you can walk just one block in any direction to get better food with less money. It's 'quite' an experience dining at $$$$ cafe - you can brag to your friends about drinking $6 Coke Cola in Rome. read more

I can confirm everything said below. Food is super expensive and not good. They microwave your food... my wife and I stopped by here because we were really hungry. Anything is better than coming here. read more

please don't eat here even if you are hungry and tired, locals don't go there because they know it's a trap high prices and low quality food

THANKS TO all those that posted reviews. It was worth your time. My mom was exhausted after 5 hours at Vatican and we stopped for a drink. We had planned to go somewhere else for lunch but as she was tired I decided to take a second look at the reviews before we ordered lunch. Wow wow wow the reviews are literally the worst I've ever seen on yelp. We probably decide to get our check and leave. We were charged $18 for a small bottle of wine that was to serve two glasses. That is fairly high but not outrageous given we were right by the Vatican and it's very touristy area. They did assess a 10% Service charge which I chose to go ahead and leave in Lieu of leaving any incremental tip. read more

MAJOR RIP OFF!! Do not go here. My family went here and we ordered 4 coffees and 3 (very mediocre) pastries, and we were charged €70! Prices are not posted and they're very sneaky. They don't accept credit cards because otherwise people would dispute the charges. An absolute tourist trap. Not worth it. read more

I am giving no stars for this tourist trap. Avoid at all cost!!!!!!!!!!!!! The menu doesn't have prices. The food is low quantity and quality. read more

Extremely pricey. We were tired after a long day of touring both St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums. We came to this restaurant after dark and it looked decent. The food, however, was not up to par with the price. €15 spaghetti, €12 panino with ham and cheese, €18 pizza, €5 cup of tea, €6 Coke, and they added a 10% gratuity. Honestly, I've tasted better for a much cheaper price. read more

The worst service and food I have ever tasted. If I could give it 0 stars I would. The only reason we ate here was because we were starving. Burnt pizza and left over pasta. AVOID! read more

RIP OFF-Stay away!!!!! Demand price information before ordering. Our light snacks cost 45.10. Quality was BAD.

Legal robbery! Over priced. Paid 27 euros for vegetarian pasta salad and tomato stuffed with rice. Food was ok, not great. They lure you in, ask what you want in the buffet and hide the menu. Would not recommend at all! read more

This truly stunned me and filled me with all sorts of emotions. Most of them being hatred and disgust. This place is absolutely horrid and I would rather eat out of a dumpster. At least the food in dumpsters is free. This hellhole has everything-from badly made pizza, to screwed up orders. Like, how dumb can you be? €5 for water? My aunt got the wrong food and it took three orders for them to finally give them the right food. Which, by the way, looked nothing like the picture (false advertisement). This is obviously a tourist trap, do not go here. Everything is in English, clearly made for tourists. There pizza looks good in pictures, but irl the crust is like cardboard, the salad is like paper, and pretty much everyone got the wrong order. I'm not sure if this is because of miscommunication or what, but they need new workers or something. They tried giving us the wrong food and scamming us 10 euros also. I think I'd rather hang my balls on a spike than eat here. Seriously, if u don't believe me, look at other reviews. EVERYONE hates this place. Arguing with customers over if u got the right food or not is NOT the way to go. As for the food, it wasn't the worst food ever. If you like food that they bought from America for like $10 and sell it for €20. This restaurant is a joke. The bathrooms are outhouse quality, the restaurant was open to bugs and animals. There were flies & even a BIRD in there. They tried to scamming us into paying more then we needed to for the food, to the point where we had to take out a calculator and show them it didn't add up. Most stars they got was like 2, which is also their IQ if they think they're scamming us. DON'T EAT HERE! I think I'd rather starve. read more

STAY AWAY. Stay away...Forgot to check Yelp before we sat down. Only good thing is it's close to Vatican but the rest was not a pleasant experience. Way over priced (25 Euros for Spaghetti and meatballs) but you don't realize it because they show you pictures without prices.and the menu looks reasonable but there are hidden charges. Our waiter was overly aggressive for a tip in addition to the service charge when he wasn't very good. Did I say "STAY AWAY" read more
