    Rooftop bar - American bar
    Sam S.

    This review is about the rooftop bar called American Bar that you enter from this restaurant. I have not eaten at this restaurant so cannot comment on the food or the service here. The rooftop bar is small but very cozy and has fantastic views of the ruins in Rome. Go there before sunset for a cocktail and watch the sun go down. It's magnificent. The bar has a decent cocktail menu. On suggestion of a local colleague I tried the Americano cocktail which is a Roman invention named after the American tourist, who seem to like this cocktail. They brought out chips and snacks for us throughout the evening and the bar tender was pretty good and made a decent cocktail. If you are looking for a rooftop bar in Rome, I would definitely recommend this one. It's classy, cozy and has an amazing view.

    Black ink pasta with crustaceans and clams

    I made reservations for dinner here about a week ago and I'm glad I did. As in, make a reservation if you want to eat here, but eating here is not a "must do" when in Rome. The reason being, the gripes with reservation get priority seating with the views, and this place is all about dinner with a view. Customer service- highly trained and qualified staff who cater to all your needs, making sure your glass is always full. One of the severs was Reno who was wonderful, he was friendly, well mannered, offered to take pictures of my us and and I and just very pleasant. He made the whole dinner worth it. Ask for Reno. Dinner itself- the menu offers a variety of selection including plenty of wines. They also have a chef selection tasting menu which was 75 euros. You are able to order off the tasting menu a la Carte as well. I ordered the black ink pasta which was good, but I found it to be really salty. If it went for that, it's a great dish to try. My husband got the ravioli which was delicious, but very creamy so it made us very full. I would def recommend this. We had drinks earlier upstairs in the American bar which was an experience itself. So for two dishes, two cocktails is and half A bottle of wine the bill was just over 120 euros. By all means, I think there is better food other places, and their food is good also, But keep in mind that it is all about the view.

    The beautiful crepes...skip them though and have the pear cake.

    We stumbled onto this place kind of by accident. What a happy accident indeed! The location is of course fantastic- we expected that part. The food however, turned out to be quite awesome. I had the Sicilian Swordfish with capers, olives, and mushrooms. That is the best fish I have had since Hawaii. Absolutely delicious! The shrimp salad- though it arrived with eyeballs... It was amazing!!! Dessert was a bit underwhelming for me. I should have went with my first choice and had the pear cake but I decided crepes would be more authentic Italian fare. Forget that---go for the pears. I had to bribe my son to get bites of his. :) it's definitely a do! Great place

    A friend who had been to Da Enzo's told us the line was worth it and the pasta unforgettable…read more We arrived just after opening and were first in line, even though every table was already full. By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

    Overall 7/10. My partner and I got the burrata and bread as…read morean appetizer, I would give it a 5/10. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy but the burrata was a bit thick (referring to the outer aspect). Also the bread was a bit tough. The amatriciana was good, but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line, 7.5/10. Pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce wasn't anything to die for. I think you can get a very similar possibly better pasta in Rome without the wait. My girlfriend got the gnocchi pasta, which she said was a 7/10. The gnocchi was great, but again the sauce wasn't anything special Tiramisu, 10/10. This was amazing. It was sweet without being overpowering. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, and had that strong espresso taste. I would come back here just for this dessert. Also if you don't like cramped spaces, probably not the best spot. I could hear the people next to me better than I could hear the person across me haha.

Even though there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it once we were seated. The staff was friendly and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. You could tell they were working hard to make sure everyone had a good experience.

    We chose this restaurant because of its outstanding trip advisor rating (4.8 stars with over 4,000…read morereviews), so we were expecting an amazing meal. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing meals of our trip to Rome. I want to start by saying the staff was wonderful--everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

    It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.
