We stopped because we wanted an outside table, and were told to wait inside until one opened up. Fine. Except once we were seated inside, we were basically abandoned. No one came to take our drink order, and when we asked a waiter, he brushed us off and said outside seating wasn't his responsibility -- apparently customer service isn't his responsibility either. We sat there for nearly an hour while people who had just arrived were being seated outside ahead of us. The food was laughably bad for the price: one piece of chicken, no sides, and some potato wedges split between us, plus three Aperol spritzes. The total came to €105.50, which is absurd even before you factor in the terrible service. No bread. No water. No effort. Just attitude. When my husband said he wasn't happy, the waitress snapped that we should feel lucky to have the privilege of sitting outside. That pretty much says everything about the place. The view was nice, but not nice enough to tolerate being treated like an inconvenience. We should have walked away the second we sat down. read more

Beautiful view and ambience! The waiter and hostesses were very accommodating and with positive attitudes . Gave great recommendations! Loved the pizza , pasta dishes we ordered , their recommendation on wine... it was perfection. We really went to the restaurant due to its prime Location , however we were pleasantly surprised by the food and amazing service. It's a must stop , must see, must try.... The calamari was the best I've had in all of italy read more

For a tourist trap, we were happily pleased with our meal. We needed someplace nearby before our night tour of the Colosseum, and this spot had decent reviews. Staff was busy, but still polite and kind. It did take a while to get our orders taken, but we can see our waitress had a lot of tables to serve. Food came out quick, and everything was delicious. We opted to dine in bc they had good AC, but you can also dine outside on the patio with Colosseum views. read more

Our waiter, Saeed, was great and so was the tiramisu! We would definitely return next time we're in Rome

Dyana was a superb wait staff member! I found this restaurant after doing a google search of "best restaurants" near the Roman Coliseum. It was spot on... We arrived and requested a table to view the coliseum for our meal. The staff was completely accommodating of our request. So, they gave us an internal seating space for drinks and alerted us as soon as an outdoor table became available. After getting a sidewalk table, we continued to have Dyana as our waitress. She proceeded to guide us through the menu and the choices she felt we might prefer (after hearing the ingredients we desired), and did I mention the VIEWS?!?!? I'm so incredibly happy with this booking. I feel fortunate to have eaten here and our meal was delicious! read more

Service was good and attentive, and the ambience was bright and inviting. The prosciutto pizza had great tasting prosciutto and parmesan, but the pizza was served cold. I especially ordered the uncooked prosciutto but the base should still have been warm out of the oven. Cold pizza is great the next morning but not when served at the restaurant. The chicken salad was fantastic, so that is a good option but the pasta tastes like it came out of a box and lacked flavor. There are way better pasta options in Rome. Even the Prosecco we ordered was sub-standard compared to what we have had across Rome. read more

Bugs in food. None the less, the service was amazing and the constant company I felt when I walked in really made me happy. The atmosphere of your restaurant wasn't too religious, wasn't too much of one color, it's very humble and nice. I would go again but the bug in the food was my cherry on top. I used to go here a lot but after this experience I will not anymore. I'm not saying you've lost a valuable customer, but it's safe to say I'm not coming here no more. read more

Ristoro della Salute - BUG!!,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, EWWWWWWWWWWWW the waiter Habib was nice Habib is on my wall. I will return him. Soon. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We found this restaurant after a quick search and it's in great viewing distance of the colosseum so we thought why not - and we're definitely glad we decided to stop inside! As we stepped inside we were pointed towards a table to sit at within a booth and overheard a conversation between servers about their pizzas being back in stock so my group figured we could share a couple of pizzas and courses between the four of us. We got 2 pizzas with prosciutto, Parmesan, and basil, as well as a pasta dish with tomato sauce mozzarella, and basil, and grilled fish. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly, although we were a bit surprised for being charged for water (another thing that's normal in the states but not as much in Europe). I really enjoyed the pasta dish with its fresh basil and flavorful red sauce - I felt like the ingredients were really brought out in this dish, and the green sauce that was drizzled on top really brought the dish together (unfortunately I'm not sure what it was...) dish. Unfortunately the fish was pretty overcooked and under seasoned for our taste, but the star of the show overall were definitely the pizzas! The bread was a bit thinner than what we're used to back in the states, and the cheese and sauce were spread out more thinly as well. That mixed with the prosciutto, Parmesan slices, and basil on top left me craving more after we had finished eating. read more

Our family just had dinner there. They charged service fee. One of the dishes was seafoods with ink noodle. It came with only 2 small shrimps and a few pieces of squids. We thought it's normal. But when we left, the same dish our next table ordered came with a lot of seafoods, at least 4 big shrimps and a lot of squids. Then we looked at the pictures online, we found pictures all had more seafoods. Maybe because we were the only Asian family tonight? read more

The food was fantastic, I had a pizza and a Bellini. The restaurant is beautiful, right across the street from the coliseum. Saeed was our server and he was lovely. Food and drinks were served timely! Definitely recommend! read more

Would give zero starts if I could. Horrible fatty meat. Gave us the wrong pasta dish. No one came to bring us water or ask about the meal. Great views but that is it. Come here for a glass of wine and the view. Go somewhere else for food. Came in the evening and the restaurant was empty. That should have been a sign. Google reviews are elevated. read more

Views. Pretty much the highlight here but I will call out the excellent service too. Food was "ok" but not sure if the locals would agree. There is much better food elsewhere that's for sure. But the others don't come with the view. Not everyday you get to eat and drink comfortably in front of a wonder of the world. read more

My wife and I came here after visiting the colosseum. We waited for almost 25 minutes without any server acknowledging us. There was only one other party there so it wasn't because they were busy. While we were waiting, we saw an employee crying and getting yelled at by the manager. This caused 2 other servers to go console her. As a result, my wife and I sat for a long time before deciding to go elsewhere. read more

For a restaurant that seems to rely on taking advantage of tourists (huge tacky LED lights on the walls spelling out English phrases), the wait staff seems surprisingly contemptuous on those visiting from elsewhere, especially Asians. My family and I felt the service to be cold and condescending. The food we received was okay but not extraordinary, and our portion sizes were smaller than photos of the same dishes posted on Google Maps. read more

Food looked appetizing but was pretty terrible. They took about 45 minutes to bring undercooked pasta. The service was also pretty terrible they don't check in on customers and took forever to take our order after being seated. This place is overrated in my opinion. The only thing I enjoyed was the music selection, that was good. read more

DO NOT COME UNLESS YOU WANT COLD AND UNSEASONED FOOD!! We came here because we had seen the reviews were good. I am literally writing this inside the restaurant. I ordered the clams and mussels as an appetizer and they were good. However, once our meals came, they were cold. I got the steak with potatoes. It had zero flavor. I had to add salt and pepper from the table to add flavor. My other two friends for pasta and it had no flavor as well. Please save your time and money and go elsewhere. It's over priced and not good. Spend your money where the food is worth it read more

The service was excellent! The food was not very good. The hamburgers were very well done and dry.My steak actually was done well though. The lemonade was too sour to drink even with lots and lots of sugar packets. read more

Everyone advises to steer clear of restaurants immediately outside of tourist attractions (they overcharge! they take advantage) but this eatery just outside the Colosseum seemed like just the perfect place for a little lunch after learning all about gladiators, lions, and such. I went with the burger described as CHIANINA BURGER 200gr, TOMATOES, LETTUCE WITH HOMEMADE ARTISAN BREAD, Chianina being a particular breed of Italian steer, formerly used as a work animal, but now raised primarily for beef. It was accompanied by lightly fried potatoes, reminiscent of the souffle potatoes one finds in New Orleans, just as light, but not as puffy. They were delicious as was the burger. I have found burgers in Italy to be a "denser" grind than in the US, which makes for a far more satisfying "chew." 200 grams is just over 7 ounces, a weighty patty. read more

Ristoro della Salute - Tiramisu is really yummy. They do it with no alcohol!!! - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Location is fantastic as Risotto della Salute is very close to the Colosseum. Food and pricing here is average compared to the other restaurants in Rome. Pasta and Pizza is typical. Cooked perfectly but without any memorable flavor. However, I will say that the waiter, Habib, has an excellent sense of humor and is friendly. He made our lunch enjoyable, thus bumping the rating up to 4 stars. read more

Wine not sit right by the Colosseum We went to this restaurant for dinner last night and of course we got pasta! We were amazed at how fresh the pasta tastes in Italy and the wine of course we had a romantic dinner sitting right next to the Colosseum it was beautiful and romantic and we loved every minute of it while we were sitting there next to the most breath taking views we had for dinner! And the service was great and accommodating it was very crowded and they placed us outside and it was perfect! read more

Incredible views. We only had drinks and dessert but that was great. The only downside was the amount of street vendors that came by and bothered us during our time. They asked every table outside if they wanted to buy a rose, or a portable charger, or something like that. Otherwise everything was fabulous. read more

What is better than lunch with a view? Nothing, especially when your view is the Colosseo. Great food, service, and staff. Sometimes places such as these close to "tourist" spots are overpriced and not so good but, Ristoro della Salute is worth the small mark up and your time. read more

Good food and better service I have received in Italy. Very polite and attentive. Thank you Daniel!

Ordered a Greek salad and the Cacio de Pepe, glass of white wine, and an expresso. The express was pretty strong (I don't normally drink expresso). My food came out sooner than I expected. The salad was larger than I was expected and although it was near a tourist attraction ( everything was delicious). The service was just ok. read more

Hostess molto scortese che ha iniziato la serata fuori male che non avrebbe controllato la nostra prenotazione o offrire un tavolo all'aperto per noi nonostante fosse specificato. Non ha nemmeno cercato la prenotazione prima di rifiutarci. Ci siamo offerti di aspettare uno e lei invece ci ha seduto al chiuso in un tavolo terribile accanto ai servizi igienici e tra il caldo. Ci siamo poi seduti lì per venti minuti prima che qualcuno venisse a trovarci. Quindi, siamo partiti senza nemmeno provare il cibo. Eravamo così entusiasti di provare questo posto e quando abbiamo lasciato la padrona di casa era di nuovo abbastanza snide. Siamo andati alla porta accanto e abbiamo avuto un pasto meraviglioso all'aperto con personale gentile. Non ci torneremo e non vi consiglieremo ad altri ospiti. read more

Mediocre food. To start off, we ordered bread. The waiter comes back 25 minutes later with a bag of bread. Legit bread served in a bag, wth?! And no plates or olive oil either. Other tables were given plates, so we asked for two and only got one. Strange. Very strange. Our half liter of water was €4. Yikes. The pasta with salmon was great, but the veal wasn't the best. I probably shouldn't have ordered veal to begin with. At least the side dish of mixed vegetables was awesome. The desserts, however, were amazing. All homemade, the waiter strongly recommended two: tiramisu and a chocolate lava cake. The tiramisu was great, as was the chocolate lava cake. Luckily these saved the night. read more
