The cuisine is traditional Roman fare, but made with fresh ingredients and expertly presented. Everything is delicious and the point is proven when you see that the place is frequented mostly by well heeled Italians. The service is attentive yet friendly. They accommodated my son's gluten free diet very well. The ambiance is romantic so this a great place for a date without breaking the bank. And the desserts are amazing!

Where ar Galleto lost points was on service. I asked if there was a house wine: no.... Ok. Looking for a relatively inexpensive bottle of red. Waiter pointed to a €50 bottle of wine! I said, no but settled on an entry level €30 bottle. Dinner service was as expected. 5.... When bill came, I was to pay by VISA, but looked to leave a tip in cash. Bill was €140..... I asked to break a €100 note for tip (not needed in Italy but increasingly being pushed)...... the change was in larger bills.... So I had to ask to break a €20..... the intent was obvious to push to higher %.... That left a poor taste in my mouth, which I went elsewhere to wash out. Overall..... 4++stars.

Also had a small carafe of the house wine 5€ because "when In Rome..." sorry had to do it lol. Service was pleasant and they speak English here, thank goodness because my Italian is not so great. Ambiance is warm and authentic, paintings decorate the walls and you feel like you're in a family restaurant. Outdoor seating is also available. Honestly while I appreciated the bits of assorted mushroom, the consistency of the risotto wasn't very creamy. Not sure if they used Carnaroli or Arborio rice. Wasn't mushy and still had a bite to it which is how it should be. The pizza had a thin and crispy consistency however toppings were a bit sparse. Would've been nice to have more than just one slice of prosciutto. The sauce however was very fresh and after having airplane food and granola bars for 24 hours this was just what I needed!

We opted to dine al fresco. Started with the beef carpaccio which was nicely cured and came atop a fresh bed of arugula with shaved Parmesan. For the main courses, my better half went with the seafood risotto (€13) and I had the seafood bolognese (€13), mine came cooked in foul and then crafted into a metallic swan when served. Both dishes were excellent and after an entire day of trudging the Roman streets, we had zero problem taking both plates down. That said, they do serve good sized portions. Friendly service spoken in a variety of languages.

All dishes were simple, but the flavors were balanced and although the only dressing for the dodo salad was red wine vinegar and olive oil, it was really good and a welcome escape from pizza and pasta. The bruschetta's tomatoes were fresh and flavorful. The minestrone soup was a good portion with plenty of fresh veggies and was piping hot. The prices were very reasonable with a bottle of white wine that only cost 12.00 euros. The ambience was relaxed and there is outdoor seating although we dined inside. It was so good that we went back the next day for lunch. They take credit cards and cash of course.

Day four in Rome and for dinner tonight I went to my Yelp app and there were many options close to…read moreour hotel. I selected Antica Trattoria. It was just a three minute walk from the Oxyford Hotel. This was about 4 p.m. so I walked to the restaurant to make reservations for outside dining. The hostess didn't speak English an my Italian is limited to hello and thank you. It's amazing what you can accomplish with sign language. Pointing to the outside dining, holding up 2 fingers and then pointing to my watch and saying 19 hours. Worked perfectly. I watched her write it down. She wrote X2 1900 then I said Young and she wrote down yong. We arrived at 7 and we were seated outside. The menu is accessed via QR code and is mostly in English. Photo of the QR code is included in the photos. We ordered a bottle of Geografico Chianti Riserva. It was very enjoyable. On Vino it has a rating of 3.6/5. We ordered Bruschetta al Pomodoro as a starter. This is basically tomatoes diced up on top of toasted sour dough bread. It could have used a little more olive oil. Jan ordered Pesce Forno for her main. According to the menu it would be one of three fish: Sea Bass, Sea Bream or Turbot. I'm very familiar with Sea Bass, and it wasn't Sea Bass. I belive it was Sea Bream. It was covered with finely shredded potatoes and baked. It was good. I'd give it a 4/5. I ordered a meat pizza with prosciutto, lard, and spicy salami. It was difficult to eat as the meat was presented in slices, which is in the description, and impossible to cleanly bite through the meat. So you drag off the topping with your bite of the slice. The cheese and sauce were non-descript. I rate the pizza 2.5/5. We ended with an Affagato. It was a struggle due the language barrier. We ended up with a shot of expresso, Sambucca and whipped cream. Nothing like what we've had in Australia or the states, but it is an Italian drink and we are in Italty. It was very enjoyable. The restrauant is small and quaint. It has a romantic vibe. The service was exceptional. They worked so hard to accommodate us. The staff was friendly and personable.

The bufala pizza is AMAZING and unlike anything I have ever tried in America. I will make my sad attempts to recreate it, but nothing is better than the real thing. The service is impeccable, it was super hot and they had this sprinkler thing attached to the umbrella that sprayed customers to keep us cool! The campari spritz also hit the spot! I will be back here next time I am in Italy! First time, we were staying in Piazza Novona, so it was pretty close, but the second time we booked it for 35 minutes in 90 degree weather to go there.
