It's cute looking and a fun idea to eat outside and it's packed with people. Just don't. It is the worst meal we had in Italy. We had sandwiches that had no "sauce" a tiny bit of oil and no love. The service was ok but I couldn't eat my sandwich because it was just "not good". read more

Great lunch spot, friendly service. Their pizza is fantastic, definitely one of the better ones we had in our two weeks in Italy. Sandwiches are good but not great. We stopped here after visiting the Vatican and were pleasantly surprised with our choice. read more

We gave this place two chances. The first day we order a margarita pizza and a sandwich. The pizza wasn't good. It was just a cheese pizza and not a very good one. The sandwich had good bread and was satisfactory. The second day we got coffee lattes and they were lukewarm and 5 euros for two. Around the corner we got hot lattes that were 3 euros for two. We also ordered the American breakfast and I asked if the orange juice was fresh and she said yes. It isn't! It tastes like syrup. This place is convenient if in the area but average at best. The servers are nice and attentive but food quality needs improvement. read more

This place was a great combination of an Italian trattoria, Parisian bistro and American coffee shop. Rather than being a disappointing mix, they had very good salads, good pizza, and made custom pasta for daughter. All of which at 10:30a when we were ready for an early Sunday lunch after having gotten up early to do some sightseeing with kids. Both my wife and I were craving vegetables or a salad and this place was advertising salads on the street in between the Castel Sant'Angelo and our hotel at 10:30 in the morning before anything else was even open. We took a gamble and it paid off. The Hawaiian pizza they brought my son made him super happy and was actually delicious. The pineapple was like candy and the prosciutto was fantastic. They made my daughter just spaghetti and sauce which she at all of. My wife got the rocket (arugula) and Gorgonzola salad, which was the clear winner among the salads with apple, honey, and walnuts to boot. I got the avocado, cherry tomato, and cucumber salad with mixed greens, which was also yummy. All of that was also with good espresso and what looked like fantastic ready to heat up paninis, a great cocktail menu, and some excellent looking spirits along the top shelf of the bar. Only sad we didn't come here sooner. read more

Came for breakfast, but maybe should have turned the other way when we realized no one was there. While the service was fine, the food was very much lacking in quality. The American breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs and Parma ham, but both had a weird taste and very odd texture that was unappetizing. read more

So apparently this place was setup by Americans (this the constant American music playing) but that didn't stop it from being and amazing experience! We arrived early for happy hour but they accommodated us anyway so for 8 Euro we got a drink and buffet. The buffet consisted of six plates on the counter ranging from sauteed carrots and fried rice to focaccia pizza and mini sandwiches all of which were delicious! For drinks we choose a red wine and hot chocolate both of which were excellent! The ambiance was great service and staff friendly and the only downside was that it's cramped due to being quite small inside however beini actually found this made it even more cozy and charming! I will absolutely go back next time I'm in Rome! read more

Great, personable service and cheap sandwiches. This is one of the only places in Rome that serves salads, although they are rather expensive. I recommend ordering two sandwiches and just eating the insides. ANYWAY, this place is very cute and the coffee is very good. I recommend the tuna wrap - it is simple and the bread is nice and doughy. Rather different from the typical panino you find in Rome. read more

Don't believe the outdoor menu. Aperitivo is a little bit of a lie, unless you're here at 4 sharp. Limited plates (6 choices) and no refills after 5pm... Food was good, but staff stopped making food at 5pm so if you're into Happy Hour like our party of 6 was, find somewhere else to go. read more

We found this place on our way to hotel. The restaurant is decorated very Italian style, they serve Italian food and many kind of alcoholic drinks. Waiter recommended a pasta to me which he said it is a Roma local special pasta, and that was so tasty!!!!! read more

Cute little Italian bistro with original wooden floors and classy decor. We ate here several times as it was below our air BNB. Service excellent, fast and friendly. Cappuccinos are great, wine very good, breakfast light and good for start of hot day in Rome. Lunch sandwiches made to order. Fresh and healthy! We really enjoyed this cute little place! read more

Tourist trap? No way. Does this place cater to tourists? Yes! But in a good way. The owner was so friendly and accommodating. We popped in as we were walking by for some cocktails and a appetizer. We had the cheese and charcuterie plate...yum! We ended up staying for dinner. I had the asparagus risotto and it was to die for! My husband had the artichoke ravioli which was also a winner. Came back the next morning for a quick breakfast before we headed to Sorrento. Again, great! Highly recommended! read more

Dropped by for some aperitivo after a long day touring the Vatican. I had a very tasty glass of Nebbiolo d'Alba and an assorted plate of aperitivo snacks - roasted potatoes (awesome), farfalle ragú (ok), rice salad (tasty), prosciutto finger sandwich (awesome). Overall a nice experience! read more

The worst dining experience. This place is the definition of a tourist trap. They made us pay 10 euro for a side of lettuce. The cappuccino was atrocious, the food is just a joke. Save yourself money, time, and sanity. Also all the food is premade, even the "pasta". read more

we stopped in for fruit, pastries and coffee. The food was ok. The staff made three errors in delivering. At the end the waiter tried to overcharge us by 5 Euro. we suspect he thought we wouldn't notice because we were clearly tourists read more

Have been here three times during my stay in Rome. Very cosy little cafe close to the Castel Sant Angelo. They offer a drink at your choice and a small plate from the buffet for happy hour which is a good deal. Drinks and food are good. Service is great! Extremly friendly staff! Will definetely come back! read more

Terrible food. Total tourist trap. The service is terrible, and the food is covered in grease. On top of everything, the prices are obnoxiously high. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Came here for coffee and breakfast in the morning on the way to Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican. The coffee was pretty good, but so was the "American" breakfast. Very nice waitress. I would stop by again. read more

This place was amazing! We stumbled upon it trying to get away from the main street. Our server was so friendly and suggested a great wine. The food was great as well! We got a pizza and a salad. Highly recommended! read more

Great little spot off the beaten path! We could easily share a pizza and salad! Oh and don't forget to have a bottle of wine!
