The restaurant has a very intimate, cozy ambience. Our waiter was so nice and took the time to explain the dishes, checked in on us when we looked like we needed anything, and never rushed us. Everyone has already mentioned the key logistical points: the entrance is a bit hard to find, and you'll need reservations unless you are extremely lucky and arrive right when they open (that's what we did, and were lucky to be able to get a table).

The apartment was located in Parco Leonardo, a large urban development project near Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport. Desco Tegami a Tavola e Griglia was nearby and seemed to be a popular spot among the locals. They serve traditional Roman and Italian cuisine, so we decided to try it, and it turned out to be a great decision. We didn't want to eat too much, so we shared a Caprese salad and a Margherita pizza. The service was good, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Since the weather was nice, we opted to sit outside. The cheese and tomatoes in the salad were delicious. The pizza was very good and sufficient for the two of us, and the house white wine gave me just the little buzz I needed to relax. We enjoyed our first meal in Italy and had the relaxing evening we needed after a 13-hour flight!

We had one of the worst dining experiences of our entire trip to Italy at this restaurant. The…read moreservice felt discriminatory and incredibly unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. Our family of four was waiting to be seated when a local family of four arrived after us and was seated immediately. We were eventually seated right next to them, and they were served bread while we were ignored and received none. We ordered wine that was never brought to the table, and at one point a waiter who was not even serving us removed our wine glasses after we had already ordered the wine. The service throughout the meal was chaotic and rude. The artichoke dish was extremely bland -- no seasoning and no flavor at all. Most of the food was greasy and disappointing. To make matters worse, we were seated directly next to the kitchen where the cooks and waiters were loudly arguing throughout our meal. We understand that service in Italy is often slower and more relaxed, and we have enjoyed wonderful hospitality everywhere else during our trip. However, this was by far the worst service we experienced anywhere in Italy. We were even asked if we wanted the bill before we had finished eating, while the local family next to us remained seated comfortably long after finishing their meal. We left feeling unwelcome and discriminated against. Unfortunately, this restaurant seemed interested only in serving locals well. If you are not Italian, do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. We absolutely do not recommend this place.

Great food and great service. Staff was fantastic and could not have had a better experience.read more

Walked past this restaurant several times going back and forth to our VRBO, and after looking at…read morereviews decided tonight to stop in for dinner. FOOD: A good-sized collection of Italian standards and pizzas. Everything we ordered was quite tasty. For drinks, they had several beers, but wine seemed to be just carafes of house red or white. The house red was perfectly serviceable. SERVICE: The waiter handling the sidewalk tables was friendly, funny, engaging, and responsive to our requests. He would be hard to improve on. AMBIANCE: The restaurant looks clean and professionally managed. We sat at one of the sidewalk tables, which were nicely set but suffered from constant foot and vehicle traffic passing by, including at least two emergency vehicles, sirens blaring. Not to criticize emergency responders for running their sirens, but be aware of the possibilities when answering if you want an indoor or outdoor table. NET-NET: Good food, reasonably priced, great service, clean glassware -- I'd be happy to go back there again.

To make matters worse, we were told we could only choose from three types of pasta, from their wide variety, for our entire table, which was disappointing since everyone was looking forward to ordering their own dish. I mean really? We probably would have ended up with only 3-4 different choices anyway but it was a real turn-off to get things started. Despite the limited options, we decided to stay, and while the food itself was enjoyable, the overall experience wasn't one I'd want to repeat.
