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!

Called to make reservations and even though they open for dinner at 7, I was told to come at 7:30. We arrived a little earlier and they let us sit and we got to enjoy the nice view, though the tables closest to the windows were reserved (which the folks didn't show up til past 9 PM!). Our waiter was so friendly and nice, and we got to order a variety of food. Had the oysters, grilled veggie platter, green salad, and octopus salad (did not see it on the menu but waiter brought this out for us). Even the bread basket was tasty, best we had on the whole week long trip! Kind of funny as we saw lots of their staff smoking in the kitchen.... Knowing it was a seafood known restaurant, I decided to order the shrimp scampi though my heart really wanted the bucatini with tomato sauce and pancetta. When it came out, I was really skeptical. First off, way too much ginger and took that all off. The shrimp were nicely cut, easy to take out. The pasta was in this weird ginger, lemon and butter sauce....and the noodles were perfectly al dente....and I didn't realize...in my 8 days, it was the first time I killed the entire pasta. Going to have to try this weird concoction at home sometime. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes, but I would say their dessert you can pass...I love panna cotta and though it wasn't on the menu...we ordered one. It had a chocolate licorice topping.......and I did not care for it at all! When we got our bill, it was all wrong. They added another table's tab to ours! Had to get that fixed and the waiter was super apologetic. Always check your bill!

Although we do find it interesting that our first meal in Italy was as a western themed place. Made us a little nervous about the quality of the food. Although it was a steakhouse.

As we wait the place started filling up, Mother's Day, there were mainly Italian families. Our meals arrived an we were pleasantly surprised. Husband's steak was prepared to perfection with a very fresh salad topping it. My pizza was large and tasty. We could easily share it between us. The service was great, young woman friendly and filled our needs. The pricing was very reasonable.

We ordered bottled water which arrived in a used and dirty bottle with mold around the rim. The place was filthy dirty. My husband's steak was filled with stringy gristle and fat. The prices were ridiculous.

We spent the day and night roaming the city and now it's time to head home but not without one last taste of Italy. I was warmly greeted and seated by the friendly staff. The server took my order and in a reasonable amount of time I have my Margherita Napolitano sitting in front of me. The smell intoxicating, the presentation speaks for itself, and it tastes as good as it looks. Airport pizza was never this good in all my travels. 5 stars

There were no miscommunications about our orders and the service was fast enough. What we ordered? EVERYTHING basically, since we knew we would be getting on an Alitalia flight which has horrendous food selections. But here are the specifics: -A chocolate croissant - because we don't have this in the US so we had to try it. It was pretty dry and nothing to write home about. Kind of disappointing, but okay. I think this was about 2 euros -Pancakes, Sausage on an English muffin, and a hash brown - same quality as those in NYC. Pretty good for McDonald's standards although the pancake syrup was super weird -Espresso shot - because when in Rome.. but this was sour AF. Likely just burnt coffee. No amount of sugar could mask it, but I just chugged it because I needed the caffeine -Bacon & Egg McMuffin - my friend said this was pretty good -Toast sammy - some sort of ham and cheese sammy that my friend absolutely hated. Cold ham with mayo/white cream cheese on fake toast (?) Skip this. A waste of 3 euro. They offered us as many sauces as we wanted. Decent Mickey D's airport experience.
