L'Archetto — Restaurant in Rome

Saw great reviews here and clearly the place was bustling. The atmosphere is very casual inside, nothing super fancy, which is fine for a pizzeria, while the outside looked lovely with the typical outdoor seating I’ve come to enjoy and expect to see in Europe. The food I rated down not because of taste but because our experience was that they seemed to not understand the seriousness of a nut allergy. My daughter has had 2 severe reactions that landed her in the Emergency Room, so we try to be as careful as we can. Of course, you can argue we should just not eat out in restaurants, but I hope one has sympathy to realize that is challenging when on vacation to a new country. We typically carry allergy cards or ask in the language of the country we’re visiting whether nuts are present. In this case, we were able to select on a card which ingredients we wanted in our salad. We crossed out nuts, and selected all the other ingredients we wanted. The salad was brought with walnuts adorning it. The waiter graciously took it back, returning it 5 minutes later. As we looked down at it, my daughter asked if a small piece in the salad was a walnut, and after trying it, yes, it was indeed a piece of walnut, which means that the kitchen simply removed the walnuts they saw in the salad and missed one piece. For those without allergies, I get that this doesn’t seem a a big deal, but having that small bit of walnut could cause a significant reaction that could have resulted in us looking for a hospital or emergency in Rome. For that reason, I rated the food down, though I’m not sure if that would fall more under service. Just feel it’s wise for those with allergies to know about this, as I’d counsel you to be extremely careful in dining. I realize that applies anywhere, but this is the first where we encountered a kitchen simply removing nuts from a dish we requested especially to be...

We went to "L' Archetto" after asking our BnB hostess about places that both locals and tourists go. I think the clientele on both days (we went for dinner and then lunch the next day) was mostly locals, based on the language they were talking. In the afternoon it was more difficult to find a table, but for lunch it had more space. Both times we selected to eat inside, because Rome is going through a severe heat wave these days. The waiters were very friendly, very helpful, and knew English so that we, non-Italian speaking tourists, could order. Note to self and others, it doesn't hurt to learn some of the local language of the place you're visiting, before going there. It's not mandatory for the locals to know English and it makes conversations easier. The food was great. We ordered pizza and pasta, and they were of top quality. They were also cooked very fast, even though the place was packed during dinner time. Pasta is only served during lunch time, from 12 to 16, so if you want to eat some really good pasta, go there during those hours. Food was priced sensibly, drinks as well, and, in conclusion, we had a great time. So much, that we went there twice. If you're in the Prati area in Rome, please visit "L' Archetto" and you...
