Coming Out — Restaurant in Rome

As we explored the eternal city of Rome, we had the pleasure of dining at the renowned restaurant, Coming Out. Located in the vibrant heart of the city, near the iconic Colosseum, this charming eatery offers not just a meal but an experience to remember.

The atmosphere at Coming Out is both welcoming and eclectic. The decor is tastefully done, blending modern aesthetics with a cozy, intimate vibe. The outdoor seating offers a splendid view of the Colosseum, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxing evening with friends.

The menu is a delightful fusion of traditional Italian flavors with a contemporary twist. Every dish I tried was a testament to the chef's creativity and passion for Italian cuisine. The pasta dishes, in particular, were cooked to perfection, with just the right balance of flavors and textures. The ingredients were fresh, and each bite was a celebration of authentic Italian cooking.

The staff at Coming Out were exceptional. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our dining experience was comfortable and enjoyable. Their recommendations from the menu were spot on, adding to the overall satisfaction of our meal.

One of the standout dishes, for me, was the Spaghetti Carbonara, which was simply sublime. The creamy sauce, perfectly cooked pasta, and the generous portion of crispy pancetta made it a dish to remember. Additionally, the wine selection was impressive, featuring both local and international options that perfectly complemented the meal.

Coming Out is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary gem in the heart of Rome. Its combination of delicious food, warm ambiance, and excellent service makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Italian dining. Whether you're a tourist or a local, Coming Out promises an unforgettable dining experience that leaves you wanting to come...

Was there three times and will NEVER go again. First time was okay as it was a drag show and that got me to enjoy the local scene. However the food was very pricy for the quality and the service VERY slow.

Second time, HORRIBLE. I asked if I can have a drink at the bar or just somewhere and there clearly was space but the entrance staff was didn't seem like they wanted to help me. They were shunting me around in terms of where I should stand and not forthcoming with options of where I could sit. Then when I said that I'd rather leave the entrance staff was sarcastic and condescending with an "okay bye". I'm not proud of how I made my exit with a hand gesture to show what I thought of their poor treatment but they made me feel so incredibly unwelcome and then instead of apologising the staff was sarcastic on top of that.

Third time, THE WORST, as I came with a group of friends, they would let none of us enter because the entrance staff remembered me. And instead of apologising or trying to salvage the situation or understand my side and why I reacted the way I did they just didn't care and asked us to leave.

In general the clientele who go there are cool, the waiters are friendly albeit a bit slow to take orders. It has a great location as it looks straight at the Colosseum, however the food is bland and there is zero...

Other than the dubious pleasure of supporting a business that is theoretically run by and for queer people, there’s no reason to stop here if your objective is food. As many have said, the service is lousy — or better said — some of the employees are lovely, and some of the employees are walking around with so much attitude you’d think they were on a shoot for Wilhelmina Models rather than waiting tables in a fairly crummy burger-and-pasta joint. I had the worst Spritz I’ve so far encountered in Rome, and my hamburger, while tasty, was so raw in the middle that the meat was literally cold. I can’t believe that meets health and safety standards. They can’t make you an espresso after lunch (in an Italian restaurant????), and, after ignoring you, for most of your meal, the servers still can’t be bothered to bring you your check – you have to walk to the cashier yourself and ask for it. I never got to meet the Simona that so many people rave about, but I’m still inclined to think that Simona ought to be giving more of her attention to training employees and improving the food. It’s irksome to be drawn into patronizing a place because it’s queer-friendly, only to find out that that’s mostly a gimmick and that Coming Out is no different than all the other touristy, over-priced restaurants on the...
