    Long Island Night Cafe - Aperol spritz

    Users Note: This is a Drinking Review Not an Eating Review…read more The food did not look so great here. But you are not here to chow down. You are here to get drunk and enjoy life. The bar here is absolutely superlative. * * * Trastevere is a fascinating neighborhood full of contradictions. It is tourist central - but many of the tourist restaurants are outstanding. It has some of the greatest austere spiritual churches in Rome. And it is as much of a party-hearty headquarters as South Padre or Daytona Beach. In Trastevere, I have done all of the above: a) Eating well b) Having intense spiritual experiences in profoundly beautiful sacred places c) Drinking wonderful beverages somewhere with a good view - all the while being surrounded by hordes of tourist humanity. Trastevere tourists are not the worst of the worst. English football fans coming three days early for a match, Cruise Ship Patrons and male sex tourists are far lower than anything Trastevere has to put up with. But Trastevere does have its crowds. Many of them are here to get sloshed. * * * If you are here to get drunk - and this is a fine neighborhood to get drunk in - I recommend looking for a good bar with a fine selection of Italian specialties. Good music doesn't hurt either. A lot of people do aperol spritz, aperol spritz, aperol spritz and aperol spritz. For dinner they get wine. You can get aperol spritzes in the United States. Italy not only has all kinds of wines, but all kinds of beer, all kinds of amaro, all kinds of grappa and nowadays - all kinds of distilled beverages. Grappas and Italian botanical gins are absolute wonders. You will NOT be able to get most grappas and most Italian botanical gins in the United States. (Or for that matter, lots of the best Italian wines.) * * * This is where the appeal of the Long Island Night Cafe goes way up. They have one of the best stocked bars in Trastevere. The barkeepers judgments are extremely good. And they play superlative American hard to find hard rock. Italians listen to rap the way we do. Only - no duh - their rap is in Italian. Good luck trying to follow the lyrics on that. So given the fact you are shut out of the rap experience, hard to find hard rock is a good compromise. The collection of bottles at Long Island Night Cafe is absolutely superlative. From my point of view - a good collection of gins is a top priority. The bartenders here know their gin backwards and forwards. They stock about thirty different choices, half of which are Italian. According to management, the best gins come out of Torino which has long been the Italian center for distilled beverages of any kind. My gin drinking at Long Island was absolutely positively first rate. * * * Add to this, the cafe being on a corner facing a plaza. The side streets are all scenic - and the plaza is gorgeous in its own right. So there are no bad views no matter what seat you have at the table. This is a fine place to spend an hour. Of two hours. Or all night until the staff goes home. * * * Italy as a lot to discover in a bottle. Have knowledgeable locals pour you a few well chosen glasses.

    Great service and they brought a small plate of appetizers for free. Stopped here for a quick drink…read moreand was pleasantly surprised. They also offer a ton of traditional American style drinks.

    This place was AMAZING!!! The burgers were huge and full of flavor! We walked in and were greeted…read morewith a smile and friendly service. The owner and chef told us a little about the menu and we went with burgers and fries/onion rings. He then began to make everything from SCRATCH; the batter for the onions, cutting and peeling the potatoes for our fries, even house made buns. There was also a great selection of local beer. 100% we will be back!!!!!

    My sister and I stumbled across this small eatery on our last night in Italy. We only had 13 euros…read morein cash between the two of us. Unfortunately, their credit card machine was down and most of the other restaurants near us closed early on Sunday. Upon seeing us struggled on figuring out what we can order with our pitiful amount of money, the owner/chef kindly offered us a discount. He made us two big burgers and even gave us a bottle of water (water is never free in Europe)for only 13 euros! That is about 40% discount! We lived in America and we had to say the burger is one of the best we have ever had. The bun was nicely toasted. There was just the right amount of sauces so there is no juice dripping down our arms while eating. The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. And not greasy at all! We left with a full stomach and satisfied. Our only regret is that we didn't have money to try the other stuffs on the menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place if you are staying near the Vatican museum area and looking for a good meal on a budget! A big thanks to the chef for his kindness.

    So for starters, we arrived to our hotel a little late and this was the only restaurant in the area…read morethat was open past 10pm. We walked in to the restaurant and saw that it was about half full. We were eventually seated. While we waited for our waitress to come take our drink order, we looked around at the old timey western american type decor. It is always interesting to see how non-Americans view the American culture. The crowd was mostly couples in their mid-20s eating a late dinner. We were famished after a day if travel and ordered a sampler plate for our appetizer (included onion ring, chicken tenders along with a different dipping sauce, which not my favorite) and we also ordered desserts to enjoy. They serve coke products here, especially Coke Zero! I had the largest glass of super duper cold Coke Zero, I was in HEAVEN! Their desserts were fabulous, specially the Coppa Alaska which included Gelato, Nutella, chocolate chips and whipped cream. It tasted delightful! We also ordered the Pancake Nutella dessert. Pancakes with vanilla gelato, almonds and caramel sauce, covered in Nutella-- Very good! Waitress was nice but she kept forgetting about us. Glad this restaurant was available and open, but not the most memberable restaurant while in Rome.

    I've seen this restaurant chain around Italy over the years. This one is located in a quiet mall in…read morea seemingly abandoned housing and shopping area. The area reminds me of Redmond Town Center in Redmond, WA (USA) albeit a much more empty one. We needed a meal and as the neighboring place was closing for Siesta time in 30 minutes, Old Wild West won out by default and necessity. One in our party ordered the Rib Eye steak and clearly asked for it well done. It came out medium. Had to be sent back for more cooking. Another ordered a Caesar salad with Impossible Chicken and it was pretty bland tasting. This was after the staff delivered the wrong meal to the table. Myself and another ordered the Chianin burger and a Smashburger respectively. They were also bland and fairly tasteless and I tried each dish. One side of fries with any meal can feed a small army, so order accordingly. This place sells an old USA Wild West theme with questionable signage ("Indian People", really???) and a bunch of other memorabilia, not necessarily Old Wild West. That is where they put their money, certainly not in the food quality or food preparation. I won't be returning to one of these places as I would rather have good food and minimal ambiance. This place doesn't deliver on either.

    So on a recent 10 day trip to Italy we started to crave anything other then pasta. So when we…read morearrived in Rome my friend who is obsesssed with tacos googled tacos near us because it was a Tuesday. So why not. She found this place through yelp and we walked from our Airbnb in our search of tacos. When we got here first impression was it's a hole in the wall which I love. We got our orders sat down with our beers and waited for our tacos which were made right in front of us. I got three tacos Shredded chicken, pulled pork, and beef. All seasoned perfectly not overly cheesy or saucy just right. They all had great flavor and satisfied that not no more pasta craving we were having. They had vegetarian and fish options as well. So if your ever in Rome and want to satisfy that taco craving. Head here for chill vibes a cold beer and some killer tacos.

    This place does not disappoint! My fiancé and I had their…read morefood for lunch the 2 days we were in Rome. It is not your typical Mexican tacos, it's different but delicious. And everything on the menu is less than 5 euros, you can't beat that! I had their pulled pork tacos and the pulled pork burrito. I definitely recommend. However do not show up at the time they say they open. We showed up and were asked to wait outside for 20 mins so they could set up. The cashiers do speak English and the male cashier speaks Spanish as well.
