Well, everyone knows Italian dinners are laid back and for hours, and if you had reservations, why seat us! They took long to come and get our order which left us even shorter time to finish dinner. The pasta I got, had tuna and the tuna smelled due to not being well seasoned or prop cooked! The pizzas were really good. I won't go here again specifically due to their customer service.

'Cafetterria and Bistrot' on Via del Fosso del Torrino, Madia Drogheria. It's a small market like a…read morecorner store focusing on natural foods. They are serving excellent cappuccinos and Insalata mista (mixed greens salad drizzled with olive oil, topped with baby tomatoes and mozzarella), grilled cold antipasti of eggplant, zucchini, red bell peppers. Fresh natural foods and a glass of white. Yes, white! Goes perfectly with your salad, it's light and crisp. They have a selection of good wines here. Later in the day, like most cafes in Italy, they serve aperitivo or a buffet, which is not a buffet at all - it's a light app and wine combo at a preset price, €10 in this case. You never know what you gonna get though! It's like being served at someone's home, just throw together a plate. That's what they do. Small and elegant place. Outside patio with country feel, all the way country look inside, feels very authentic to me. Always good selection of fresh croissants and made to order coffee of course. And, my friend Gianluca was here!

Typical Italian meal, meat and pasta, lots of carbs, gnocchi-calzone-panini-macaroni, plus tons of desserts. Desserts at La Terrazza are really good. La Terrazza offers a rooftop terrace seating with gorgeous views of the country side. This is the type of place in the business park, within walking distance from Mariott, where many offices are located. People go to lunch here, it's a sort of a cafeteria style setting in terms of the presentation of food. Not your typical trattoria style. Great assortment of antipasti (cold appetizers), including sautéed veggies, artichokes, eggplant, roasted zucchini, red bell papers, carpaccio, prosciutto, soppressata, fresh mozzarella nuggets drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Beef stew, meat loaf, steamed seasoned potatoes, pasta shells, sautéed green beans, octopus with macaroni. I called them that, they may have proper Italian names attached, I just didn't care to go deep today, nor did I have time for that. Fabulous selection of pastries and desserts downstairs, including Sfogliatelle, Sanguinaccio dolce, Semifreddo, Zeppole, Canoli, Panna Cotta, Tartufo, and fruit compote. Advertised pizzas include the following: Pizza con Forno a Legna, anche Integrale - pizzas cooked in the wood burning oven, and also plate combos (complete meal): Ortolana - garden veggie pizza Margherita - traditional wood fired oven pizza Patate - Pizza di Patate with potatoes Boscaiola (Mozzarella, Funghi, Salsiccia) - mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, sausage Amatriciana (Pomodoro, Guanciale, Pecorino) - tomatoes, cured meat from pork cheeks, pecorino cheese

Tata Pizzeria Griglieria has a laid-back neighborhood-spot feel, with a simple exterior that blends…read moreinto Rome's residential streets (we almost missed finding it multiple times, as it's hidden in the side of a museum-like building). Inside, the space is casual, modern, and unfussy, with straightforward seating and a welcoming, family-style atmosphere. The vibe is relaxed and local - we were one of the only tourist groups in the dining room. At around 7pm on a Thursday night, the restaurant was about ¾ full, and our party of five was immediately seated. The menu is extensive, with everything from antipasti to over three different styles of pizza (each with 10+ flavor options) to pasta to full entrees. You may order each pizza as "Napoletano" or "Romano"; the former is softer, chewier, and airier, whereas the latter is thinner and crispier; as we were in Rome, most of us opted for the Romano option, and we appreciated the crunchy texture and slight drizzle of olive oil in the crust. There's plenty of creative topping combinations, with options for everyone. One member of our party ordered their Margherita (€10) with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil; it was a simple classic done right, and she appreciated the high-quality ingredients. Their Cafona (€13) is a unique white-base pizza with mozzarella, smoked provola cheese, savory sausage, crispy potatoes, and EVOO; something that would be hard to find in the States, but a delectable combination. The La Norma (€13) is a red-base with fried aubergine, salted ricotta, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, and EVOO; think of it as a margherita pizza's sophisticated cousin. The Tartufata (€13.5) comes with tomato sauce, truffle salsiccia (sausage), cherry tomatoes, basil, EVOO, and an indulgent ball of burrata; my friend highly enjoyed it, though found it a bit unwieldy to eat. Lastly, I opted for their Fru Fru Porchetta (€16) - this was a huge pizza sectioned into three: margherita, mushroom/provolone, and porchetta with potatoes. It was a thicker crust, with a pillowy interior. I loved that I could sample three flavors at a time, though I will say I think my pizza had too much cheese, especially as compared to the other pizzas. Their dessert menu was extensive and looked absolutely delectable, but we were so stuffed that we couldn't fathom ordering any more food. Price-wise, Tata is quite affordable for the portio -sizes; with tasty food, a plethora of options, and friendly service, making it a great everyday dining option without tourist-level pricing.
