We decided that we needed a bite (and quick!) so we stopped into the Old Wild West. We knew what we signed up for. This wouldn't be as delicious as all of the fresh pasta we ate in Rome. We also knew this is what Italians must think Americans eat so we were ready to be disappointed, but it wasn't so bad. This is a chain. The equivalent of an Applebee's in the US, but the food is fresher. The burger was surprisingly decent and the fries were good too. My friend got the wings which looked good too, but I was too full to try them out. The ambiance was that of a chain restaurant but the service was good. All in all, nothing spectacular but good for a quick bite.

An Italian interpretation of American steakhouse, more of a burger and beer type place of fast casual variety alike Chili's, Applebee's, Marie Callender's, or Chevys Fresh Mex. Somehow in Italy, American burger and fries are associated with beef steaks, and, simultaneously, with the Tex-Mex of Chipotle and Baja Fresh variety. Don't forget about western saloon decor, ranch style, complete with saddle seat bar stools. So, you can find chicken wings and onion rings here, burger and fries, chicken burrito and corn chips or nachos, and some weird combos (service fee is included) like this: - "Menu Salad" €8.20 (salad Arizona, Mexico, or Kentucky, with soda and coffee); - "Menu Hamburger" €8.90 (burger and fries, with soda and coffee); - "Menu White" €9.90 (grilled strips of chicken, fries, with soda and coffee); - "Menu Tex-Mex €9.40 (chicken wrap Santa Cruz or San Diego and chips, with soda and coffee); A la carte, you can order apps like chicken nuggets €5.90, chicken wings €4.90 (4 pieces) or €8.60 (8 pieces), nachos €4.90, with a bottle of beer (Miller or Corona averaging €4.50), or a glass/bottle of wine (a surprising selection of Pino Grigio, Chianti, or even Barbera, averaging €8/€18). Hamburgers are €8, and finally we get to steaks for about €18. Specials include Cow Burger and fries; BBQ ribs and fries; Galletto (chicken, or rooster) Old Wild West; or grilled veggies. You can finish your meal with a cheesecake or tiramisu for about €5.

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. We were seated in the fort like interior, only one other couple were there. Placed our order, husband a steak, with salad and me a Pizza. 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.

He did not bring a spoon for my spaghetti. Suddenly he came up to me half way through with a spoon, rudely yanks my fork out of my hand and proceeds to "show me how to eat my spaghetti" with the spoon even though he refused to give me a spoon from the start. 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.

I'd recommend anyone to go check this place out! I know my husband and I will for sure be back! Atmosphere 5/5 It was super spacious and almost rustic feeling. There is a lot of outside seating when the weather is nice. It was just a very inviting environment. Service 10/5 The service was amazing! We had the pleasure of having one of the owners there that night. Fabio took excellent care of us. Helped us discover things on the menu that would be perfect for my husband and I. He went above and beyond as well as the other staff. I will say with some of the staff spoke very little English, but it didn't effect our amazing last night! It was perfect from start to finish. Food 5/5 Food was great! Everything is on a skewer which was pretty cool. The potato skewer was probably my favorite because I love potatos. There's a cheese skewer that progresses in softness and depth of flavor. My husband got chicken, steak, and lamb. The steak was his favorite by far. And I got the vegetable skewer, I'd say it needed just a bit more seasoning on them but the cook was perfect! It was all very reasonably priced for everything that we got! Oh and the dipping sides and veggies for the bread and cheeses! Just stop, my mouth is watering just thinking on them. Such amazing and bold flavor combinations I've never had. I wanted to try them all!

When ordering your meat you leave the table and goto a person that is like a butcher who will advise you on the cuts of meat. Once you have chosen your meat he cuts it from a slab and grills it.
