We had a utility lunch before going to see the opera. The scenery and the directing were an embarrassment. The singing and orchestral music was fine. The lunch was just as so so as the opera. read more

Another great dinner recommendation from our hotel within a short walking distance from the hotel. A nice casual eating place. The dinner menu had a nice variety of appetizers and a wide variety of pizzas. Great for a casual low key meal. Our sojourn to Strega was on a comfortable evening and most all patrons were sitting outside o. A very big shaded patio. Wait staff was attentive and efficient. read more

This restaurant was located minutes from our hotel in Rome and close to many others. It is off the main road, so it may be a little difficult to pinpoint if you don't see their signage or venture down the lane a bit. We came here with our group for lunch, and they accommodated our party of six very quickly. The menu was plentiful, and I ended up with the Piccante Pizza (nduja spice, salami, and mozzarella). The pizza was large and enough for two. It was by far one of the better pizzas I encountered in my trip to Rome and very tasty. Various pasta dishes that others in my party had were also decent and a good lunch sized portion. read more

Our last meal before leaving Rome was here - it had okay ratings, the restaurant was situated down the street from our hotel, and the space seemed nice. The menu is expansive with extensive pizza offerings. I think our mistake when ordering was opting for topping choices that coincided with our favorite American pizza toppings - sausage, mushrooms, etc - which are not necessarily popular and or native for pizza toppings in Rome. We started off with the Caesar salad ($10 euros). The salad comes with bacon, croutons, lemon, vinegar, and a warm chopped chicken breast. Important to note that there is a thick, Caesar dressing that comes with the salad - do not toss the salad with additional olive oil. This was a great - I liked that the chicken was warm and paired with salad + salad dressing, it was exactly what I needed after 10 days of pasta. My family also shared the following: -baked lasagna ($10 euros) -focaccia buffalo and tomato pachino ($12 euros) -boscaiola ($10 euros): mozzarella, tomato, mushrooms, sausage I ordered the focaccia thinking that it would come in square pizza form, but unfortunately, it is a very toasted piece of bread topped with tomatoes and cheese. Was not great. Do not order. Our pizza was also not great - there was a lack of tomato sauce and the sausage looked undercooked. I think for our family, this was not the flavor palette we were expecting. We were looking for something that tasted a little closer to home or some semblance of it. Strega strives to do that based on their menu selection, however, it falls a little bit short. Wait staff was great. Bathroom situation was questionable. read more

This is the first restaurant we had dinner at while in Rome. Of course the first thing we ordered was a pizza and some wine!! Both were delicious. I am not used to the way Italians serve their meals. They bring you the pasta at first by itself and then the meat entrée, usually by itself or sometimes with a tiny bit of greenery or some vegetables. I can understand the concept but I am just not used to eating it this way. By the time I am done with the pasta, I no longer have any room for the meat. I was actually very disappointed with the all the meat selections I made every restaurant I visited in Rome. I found that it lacked flavor. Also bread was flavorless. I know most people would read this and not believe it. I am not at foodie per se. I eat when I get hungry in because I have to. I do enjoy food but, I don't necessarily go to vacation at places for the food, so I don't hold it with as high as standards as many of my other 40 foodie friends do. And even then I found it flavorless. I can't see how any foodie worth their salt would find food in Italy amazing. I am also not a pasta person, but I do have to admit the pasta that was my favorite food item in all of Italy. I liked the pizza and I loved the wine and dessert. The atmosphere was great. I loved the patio and we had a nice view of a church. Also service was great. I went inside to the restroom and there was absolutely no one in the big dining room. The bathroom was very small and messy though. Overall I had a very good experience if not stellar food. read more

We had 3 different meals (baked lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs and gnocchi with muscles/clams/yellow dates. Nobody like their meal. spaghetti was WAY under cooked, multiple clams were not open and lasagna was 'ok' at best. read more

Definitely try the pizzas, they are for sure traditional Roman style! Slightly charred crust, nice and very thin and crunchy! We had the Imperatore which the friendly handsome server suggested and it was great! We also tried the lasagna and it was decently good. Nice liter of draft beer all for a reasonable price. Didn't get the server's name but he was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to make sure we were enjoying the food! Food was missing just a touch of parmigiano cheese for those that want more of a salty taste for their palate. Otherwise it was a nice atmosphere, everyone chooses the outdoor seating as they have a big area. I will come back again for maybe two more pizzas! read more

My dad ordered the Bucatini "Amatriciana" and he said he would "order it again in a heartbeat" which is a huge compliment because he NEVER orders pasta at a restaurant. I didn't get a picture of it but it looked delicious and he said the pasta was perfectly al dente. The rest of my family and I ordered wood fired pizza and everyone finished theirs, it was so freaking delicious! I ordered #38, the Diavola and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust was perfectly thin and the spicy salami was amazing. Maybe we're just easily impressed Americans, but everyone in my family was extremely satisfied with their meal!! read more

We came to this restaurant for dessert and an after dinner glass of wine. Once we arrived, my friend saw the menu and realized that they cater to persons with allergies. This was a HUGE win! My friend hadn't been able to eat any pizza since arriving in Rome due to her severe gluten allergy. Dinner twice?! Yes we did and her pizza was delicious! It was better than any pizza the rest of us had eaten thus far in Rome! They used soy flour in the place of the wheat flour. I ordered a chocolate torte dessert and it was delicious as well. Our service was on point, they have clean restrooms and they take credit cards. I recommend this restaurant to others and we will definitely return if ever in Rome in the future! read more

My first bad experience dining in Italy! While I enjoyed my spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and basil, I found the service to be lacking and the wait to be unbearable. Several times I considered getting up and demanding my check so I could just leave while my wife and I waited for our dessert. Our drinks were empty our plates taken away and we just waited listlessly for over 30 minutes for our dessert to come..this was after waiting for our server to offer us dessert for about 10 minutes. I get that Italian dinner is meant to be enjoyed slowly but we sat with NOTHING on our table for 40 minutes!! Insane! I didn't like my affogato, but maybe I was just annoyed at that point. It came with too much ice cream. Drowning out the taste of the espresso. Kind of surprising in Italy..but maybe that's normal. I thought it was a boring, over sweet post dinner mess. But maybe if it came 30 minutes sooner I'd have been more appreciative. After waiting for and eating our desserts, the bill came, it was not itemized with any pricing. No transparency as to how they arrived at their total. Total pet peeve of mine. Just please go somewhere else! read more

I give this place two stars solely for the kind service and because I enjoyed the fact that you were able to watch the chef cook the pizza. Walking into this place and it being nearly empty on a Saturday night at 6:30 PM should have been our first red flag, but we were hungry so we decided to check it out. We started with a bottle of cabernet, the server was patient and let us try the wine. When my mom responded that she didn't like it, he asked if we wanted a different bottle. However, I liked the bottle so we decided to just keep it. When it came to ordering food, we already had a weird vibe from the place so decided on just ordering some apps and seeing how those were before deciding to order entrees. Again, the server was great and had given us some recommendations. We ordered two things of bruschetta and the egg plant parmesan. Once the food came out, the eggplant parmesan was cold in the middle and the bruschetta was solely bread with tomatoes on top that tasted rotten. The eggplant parmesan wasn't terrible, it was just cold. However the bruschetta was bland and 100% not worth the money. If you're ever in Rome, do yourself a favor and skip this place. With the big sign out front it looks welcoming, but don't be fooled as it was quite an un delightful experience. Also, the bathroom was broken and there was only one stall for the ladies that would not flush. read more

This was an accidental find on an extremely hot day and although reviews on yelp weren't good, it was packed with both vacationers and locals getting lunch. There was only one waitress for a while for more than 20 tables but the wait for food wasn't bad, and the food was quite delicious. We had a spaghetti with cherry tomatoes, a Niçoise salad and a pizza. All was yummy. This was in our neighborhood and we enjoyed the food so much that one night that we felt like eating in, I ran over and picked up a margarita pizza and a lasagna. They didn't disappoint! read more

Food is okay and the service is good as well. The pizzas have a huge size and I very like the area where is located.

I think 3 stars is about right for this restaurant. The food was pretty good though the bruschetta is only one slice. Over priced for the portion. The pizza my wife and I shared for lunch had an almost flatbread slightly burnt crust with cheese and strips of spec. It was pretty good. The service was pretty terrible. It was in the 90'sF/ 36C so the wife and I were in shorts and t-shirts as we were going sight seeing next. We were under dressed as only local business folks were in the restaurant and we got put into the furthest room in the back which was okay. However, a guy kept coming and slowly closing the glass door between us and the other section. Did we smell? We sure weren't being as loud as the other 2 tables in that area. We barely finished food on a plate and it was immediately removed. Good service or please hurry? Doubtful I'll be back with so many other options, but this is a close restaurant to several hotels in the area. We walked here. read more

The Margherita pizza was amazing, the carbonara and amatriciana were great, and the saltimbocca was fabulous. Our server, Antonietta, was very attentive and kind. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food and wine. We also appreciated the low cost of bottled water (since we are from the US, we aren't used to paying for water, so the low price was appreciated.) We loved our visit here and if we find ourselves in Rome again, we will come back! (Especially for more pizza!) read more

We had awesome food here. I don't know why this place got less than 4 star reviews. There was great outdoor seating in an enclosed tent like area with heaters. So maybe in winter they just have inside seating? But the food was soooo good! We started with the pesto pasta and Wow was it good! Then we ordered a pizza and spaghetti with tomato sauce....again, soooo good! So it is my opinion that the food was 5 stars. Main courses are anywhere from $10-$25. Starters are pretty much $8-$12. read more

We came to eat dinner here during our recent trip in Rome. We found this place by chance after we got dropped off from a 3-hour bus ride from Naples. The place looked vibrant and modern from the outside as we were walking towards our hotel. We checked out the menu from the outside and thought it was a little bit pricey, but we were just glad that we saw a good place to eat still open at 10pm.. We got seated right away at the patio which has a modern decor. I am crazy about carbonara. My daughter and I ordered the rigatoni alla carbonara that night while my husband had the lasagna al forno. In my opinion, this was my favorite carbonara out of all the places I tried. The pasta was al dente, the carbonara was very good, not too saucy or too dry. The pieces of prosciutto were thicker than usual and crispy. The lasagna was also good. The sauce wasn't too tart. We didn't have to wait too long for our food to arrive. Too bad we didn't get try any of the desserts after we finished our food. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the service was great. There was a free WiFi which was a plus for us. The seating inside was huge and their restroom was modern and clean, which is another plus for me. read more

This was the absolute worst dining experience I've had in Rome. I should've seen the clues before I sat down: 10% service charge, TVs showing soccer in the outside dining area, no house wine. This place is a tourist trap. We were seated immediately and our waiter gave us our menus. He walked away several times when we asked questions. When we finally ordered the bottled wine on the table, he poured it for us and we never saw him again until we asked for the check -- 1 1/2 hours later and that's 1/2 hour too long. So the water we ordered we had to ask a bus boy for. Oh but it wasn't just bad service. The food was terrible. Both my brother and I had overcooked pasta. My aunt needed salt for her pork chop because it was so bland. Actually needing salt and pepper in Rome, unbelievable for the price we were paying. I don't care if that sounds snobby, look at our bill and tell us we can't be snobby about that. When we finally got the check, which our waiter avoided giving us for about 20 minutes when we were clearly ready and the outside dining was virtually empty, we promptly paid and left no tip. Save yourself the time and go literally anywhere else in the city. read more

Fun, great atmosphere with great food! Came here for dinner and tried the grilled vegetables appetizer, the fettucine bolognese and the vegetable pizza. The vegetables were delicious and a great way to start a hot evening. The fettucine was so flavorful and delicious. The pizza came with arugula, zucchini, eggplant and peas on it. Can't say I ever tried peas on pizza but it was very good! Would definitely go back. read more

The hotel I'm staying at recommended this place...but honestly, the food was lousy, and very high priced. Just because it's a neighborhood full of tourists, they expect Americans to throw their euros away on a place that looks fancy. The tip is already included in the meal (we were only 2 people), so there is no incentive for good service because waiters get tipped anyway. My daughter had a pasta carbonara, the pasta had no taste while the bacon was super salty. I had a risotto that was supposed to be full of mixed seafood and I just got a cup of mushy rice (with no flavor) with one shrimp on top. The bread they gave us was stale as well. i complained to the waiter but he said absolutely nothing and walked away. The only thing we finished was the Pepsi and mineral water... read more

Our hotel sent us here telling us they had really good pizza. Place was really quiet on the Wednesday night we went but despite this, they seated us at a table that was 2 meters from a door where we saw people going back and forth ... carrying stacks of pizza plates to pizzaiolo, dirty dishes, plastic garbage bags!? They shouldn't even have a table in this spot. Pizzas were quite good - 4 fromaggi, bacon and onions + cheese and Italian sausage. Other dishes were pasta (tomato and bacon) and pasta was super al dente (not a pleasure to eat half raw pasta) and sauce not very tasty. I would not recommend taking pasta but instead pizza. Overall service was ok. They offered us 3 mini tiramisu desserts which was a nice gesture. Would we go back? If hotel is nearby like it is this time, yes. Otherwise, wouldn't go out of our way. read more

Bad service! Didn't greet when we came into the restaurant. As tourists, not a good spot for meal

Service was quite poor. Not very attentive. It took them a solid hourt to get the food to us. We only got salads and pizzas. This is ridiculous considering most restaurants took 10 minutes to get food out. It was quite upsetting. In terms of the food, it was average. Salad was average and pizza was tasty, but average. Wasn't a great restaurant experience. read more

This was our last dinner in Europe, and it was not our favorite. We were exhausted from a long day of sightseeing and decided to start walking back to the hotel and find somewhere to eat. This is not like me (I'm a researcher), and I should have known better. Don't waste your time here. The prices are very high, there are tvs in the outdoor dining area, the food is only mediocre, and it is a tourist trap. I can't really give it one star because we did have good service (unlike some reviewers) and my children enjoyed the company of Cesare (the resident gatto). read more
