L'Insalata Ricca — Restaurant in Rome

Medium-sized and nice restaurant with a small outdoor seating section in a relatively quiet part of town, although the street itself was still quite busy with traffic around 21:30.

We came here on a mission for pizza, mainly because of the solid 4.5 Google rating. Unfortunately, the only truly satisfied person in our group was the one who ordered pasta. The Pizza Trevisana, which should have been bursting with flavor, turned out to be one of the blandest pizzas I’ve ever had. The Quattro Stagioni was described as just “okay,” and the Pizza Diavola was little more than a mildly spicy pepperoni pizza.

After checking reviews while sitting there, it became clear that this place is popular for its pasta, not its pizza. (Although the pasta eater among us complained about the lack of meat in the food).

To make matters worse, the neighboring table (locals) played loud music from a cheap phone speaker the entire time we were there — the same three songs on repeat — leaving us straining to hear each other across the table. The waiter could easily have asked them to turn it down, but nothing was done.

The place itself is nice. The staff seemed to be polite, speak English, and the food arrived quickly. It’s just a shame that it failed on the most basic of all...

At 1:25 we said we cannot wait any longer just as they were bringing the food out. I would have LOVED to sit back down and eaten our pasta.....but the tour would leave without us....the rudest owner started literally yelling at me telling me I didn't know what a restaurant was! I went right back at him and said I certainly know what a restaurant is my brothers are chefs!! He screamed You are paying for this!! I never said I wasn't paying. They gave me some jacked up price I gave them E50 and said give the rest to the waitress it wasn't her fault. All while being yelled at in Italian . Be on your best behavior in this place or you too may be screamed at! Oh and I'd love to know how the...

The restaurant was not very busy, the service was very friendly and quick. The appetizers and main courses were tasty. The Creme Brûleé was good as well, we think the Tiramisu was made with wiped creme as it was very fluffy. The restaurant was decorated with hundreds of guests letters which might be kind of romantic but looks a little messy. Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and...
