    Pizza Capricciosa

    This is the capricciosa pizza I ordered, you be the judge. I got one entire piece of artichoke on the side. 2 slices of prosciutto crudo (capricciosa is made w prosciutto cotto). 4 olives all clumped together, and a hard boiled egg that was green around the yolk, it looks like it was made days ago. I tried giving the pizza a shot and the mushrooms were cold. I left the remainder of the pizza there; the waiter asked me how my dinner was, I told him the beer was good. Questa è la capricciosa che ho ordinato, giudicate voi. Mi hanno dato un carciofo intero sulla pizza al lato, 2 detto di crudo all'altro (la capricciosa so fa col cotto), 4 olive tutte messe insieme, una montagna di funghi in mezzo ed un uovo sodo che ai bordi era verde, sembra bollita settimana scorsa magari e poi tenuta in frigo. Ho provato ad assaggiare la pizza e in funghi erano ancora freddi, ho lasciato il resto. Il cameriere mi ha chiesto com'era la cena, gli ho risposto che la birra era buona. This is a warning to any American or foreigner from an Italian, do not come here.

    Friendly wait staff is the best thing about this pizzeria. The food is ok, not the best and by far not the worst. I prefer my pizza to have a crust that had flavour. This is not the stand in Rome so I had to make do with the standard lovely toppings to cover the cardboard taste of the crust. The heat of Rome (yes to me the mid 70s is heat) meant that I wasn't overly hungry so I didn't have antipasti, just the pizza. Well the waiter did force me to have dessert which was ok. But the staff treat you friendly in a country where they do not necessarily have to friendly for tips. It's nice to have a joke and humour with the wait staff. That's why this place gets three stars instead of the two it should get for the food.

    Their pasta with mussels, porcini mushrooms, and saffron is the best thing I ate in Rome.

    Love this place! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Simone helped us. He was very patient and helped us order since it was our first time there and my dad is a picky eater. The food was outstanding, and the desserts were delicious. Will be coming back when I return to Rome!

    Great little find close to my hotel up the hill. Great sunroom patio and actually one of the largest Restaurants I've been in since my arrival enjoyed the caprese to start (tomatoes and mozzarella ) and had Carbonara Pasta. Most places here have very good portion sizes but this was even more and plenty to "take away" as they say vs to go lol. I was worried the bacon would make it too salty but it was a Perfect touch. They have a nice wine selection and small desert menu but I'm going to hit the pastry shop I passed along the way. I would recommend this because the prices are great and perfect for groups and quick lunch. My only compliant was service was slow, I had to ask for check 3x it wasn't busy and that took almost 15 min

    I've always wanted to say "there's this great little place in Rome you must try when you visit" This is that place for us! We've returned over and over and had something different each time and loved it every single time! When you feel like family too, it's easy to come back!

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!

Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
