For 11 Euros I received a cheeseburger with provolone, eggplant, and lettuce and tomato. It was cooked to perfection! My baked potato that accompanied it was tender and melted in my mouth. I also has the option of having a beer or soda, and it came with coffee afterwards. My wife loved her food as well.

The Santa Fe nachos were too salty and overpriced for a small amount (8.30). The Colorado salad comes dry with no dressing but is a good size for (4.90). The Dakota burger was minimal but filled us up , also came with fries (8.60). Sad to eat here only because we are from the "ole west" , Arizona, but the place got the job done. Great staff and quick service.

They specialize in fresh seafood dishes. I had a mixed seafood past which was excellent. It was an oil and garlic sauce. Wife had a squid pasta with a light red sauce which was very good. Our son had a potato crusted sea brim. Cooked perfectly light and flaky. He paired us a bottle of white wine from Tuscany 22 euro. I totally recommend this restaurant.

The boss was a really friendly man and the food was yummy and filling! I especially loved the carpaccio with truffle sauce - the plate was huge, meat was fresh and the truffle sauce was plentiful! Had enough leftover to give my bread slices a good spread. It was a nice way to end my trip in Rome :)

We decided that we needed a bite (and quick!) so we stopped into the Old Wild West. We knew what we signed up for. This wouldn't be as delicious as all of the fresh pasta we ate in Rome. We also knew this is what Italians must think Americans eat so we were ready to be disappointed, but it wasn't so bad. This is a chain. The equivalent of an Applebee's in the US, but the food is fresher. The burger was surprisingly decent and the fries were good too. My friend got the wings which looked good too, but I was too full to try them out. The ambiance was that of a chain restaurant but the service was good. All in all, nothing spectacular but good for a quick bite.

A good honest neighborhood restaurant…read more A large honest neighborhood restaurant. It is in the Aurelio neighborhood which is one of Rome's many ugly neighborhoods. There are two walled-in complex that are beautiful - The Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and A Spanish Language Collegium designed to provide advanced training to Catholic Priests working in Latin America. Both establishments have stunning beautiful grounds inside their walls. Outside, it is brutal every day Rome. Grim apartment buildings, a lot of traffic, factories and stores selling practical items like automobile parts. The general area is a restaurant desert - except for some very small and grungy mini-cafes. In this grim world of concrete reality, Ferro e Ghisa stands out like an oasis. They serve industrialized food but good industrialized food. They have a fine bar. The place feels relaxed and spacious. You go outside and you feel like you are going to be run over by speeding cars every six and a half seconds. * * * When we came in at 4:30 on a warm sunny late afternoon, their vast room was completely deserted. Golden light poured into the front from outside giving the establishment a warm glow. By the time we left at six, only one other set of customers had come in ... an Indian family. However, as we sat there one waitress after another after another reported for duty. A look inside the kitchen showed an army of cooks. So even if the place was nearly empty while we were there, It looked like they were preparing for an onslaught of hundreds of customers. Given how few other good establishments there are in the neighborhood, their expectation of an onslaught of customers was probably right on target. * * * I had the house white wine (they were pouring Riesling), and a Fritto Pazzo. The menu said clearly the Fritto Pazzo was made from frozen ingredients. It was absolutely peachy, frozen or not frozen. * * * Fritto Pazzo means Crazy Fried Whatever. Like American vegetable soup, There are no standard rules as to what has to be included. Certain items show up frequently. Rice Croquettes show up nearly always. Those come with and without tomato sauce inside. It is common to throw in both kinds. Fried vegetables show up. Some kind of fried potato shows up. Fried seafood can show up if the house is feeling expansive. The Ferro e Ghisa version features very very curly fried potatoes making them kind of a curlicue chip and three different flavors and shapes of rice croquettes. Short and fat with just rice and cheese inside, short and fat with tomato sauce and cheese inside and long and skinny like a breadstick with cheese inside. There may have been some incidental other vegetables or even a shrimp in there somewhere. But the potato chips and the croquettes were there in quantity ... And they were the total stars of the show. This was heavy snacking in style. I was glad to have it. * * * We have had legendary food to die for elsewhere in Rome ... So I sort of have to call this a four star review. But there was zero wrong with what I had. I would love to go back ... Notably when I could do a deep dive into their fantastic bar ... And see what else is on their very large menu. I shouldn't drink too much however. It would be too easy to be run over by the 1000 cars that run in front of this place night and day, day and night.
