Casetta Rossa — Restaurant in Rome

We travelled on a Saturday in February from the centre of Rome to visit this place, with an 18-month-old baby in a pram, in the rain, to support what we thought was a place of solidarity and mutual aid, instead of giving our money to another tourist restaurant.

When we entered, the place was empty apart from a table with 4 people, only to be told by the waitress that the kitchen would open in half an hour, but all tables were fully booked. We asked to buy any kind of food, even a slice of bread, because it was past the feeding time for the baby, and she was already crying. They've said they could not help.

We asked whether there was another restaurant or cafe nearby that they would recommend, and they gave us a name for a corner shop that had crisps and sweets, unfit for a baby's food, so we were forced to spend almost an hour, in the rain, with a baby constantly crying, trying to find a place serving food in a completely unfamiliar area for us.

It is a pity for people to use sacred ideals, which mean something almost sacred to people, just to make money. It's a pity when you expect to find solidarity, compassion, and understanding, only to be treated with apathy, indifference, unkindness and an attitude of "I...

It's a lovely little venue in a nice park and only a few minutes' walk from the metro station. After a little walk around the neighbourhood, we went back for coffee/tea. We'd love to see it in the summer when it's...

I went here while in Rome and it was my favorite meal out of my whole trip. A true Italian restaurant off the beaten path. Everyone spoke Italian but there is a server who can speak some English. I made reservations through email because of this and they were very responsive and helpful. The service was excellent and they were so patient and helpful to assure we had a great experience. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food and wine were soooo good and affordable. If you go to Rome, this is a must stop...
