Mignanelli24 Ristorante wine-bar — Restaurant in Rome

Don’t bother. Food is good. However, if you are an American....they will likely treat you with veiled (or in our case) blatant distain and disgust. We had lunch there today (to the tune of 110 euros) and after our first course....they brought the second course and motioned for us to just move the plates instead of first removing the finished plates. I simply said “Perhaps you should first move the other plates because we have no room”. The snippy older woman with short blondish hair (photo attached) looked down at me, gave me a nasty look and said “Thank you so much for giving me a lesson on how to serve”. To say she was nasty and off putting, would be an understatement. Then some Italians came and sat down, and I watched how cheerful and joking she was. So as I said....if an American (or probably ANY other nationality other than Italian)....avoid this place unless you like a side of insults with your pizza! There are lots of places around the Spanish steps with waiters who actually smile and greet people nicely. But...

Stopped here with my mom while experiencing Cholinergic Urticaria and was in the middle of a breakout, so we came in mainly to cool down and grab a light meal. Unfortunately, our experience was really disappointing.

The waitress (I believe her name was Mercedes) seemed cold and judgmental from the moment we sat down, continuing to give us dirty looks everytime she passed by which is a bit weird… We didn’t order much — I have a restrictive diet for health reasons and I don’t drink alcohol — and it felt like she disapproved of that. She gave us dirty looks, never once checked on us, and made us feel very unwelcome.

Not sure if she assumed we wouldn’t tip (which is ironic because she ensured we wouldn’t with that attitude). The food was mediocre at best, and there are definitely better spots nearby — especially ones that don’t make you feel uncomfortable for just existing. Super disappointing, do...

We’re in Rome. After spending seven days traveling around Sicily, Rome definitely seems extremely busy. That’s to be expected in big cities around the world I guess. So, the question, is in a city with over a hundred restaurants, where do you go? We walked around viewing the sites, and after a long walk, decided we wanted a place that was hidden away from the hustle and bustle of all the historical sites in Rome. Not because we didn’t enjoy the beautiful architecture, there were just too many of us tourists! Our search landed us at Mignanelli24. Outstanding meal selections and awesome wine selection. Tatiana was the rockstar of our evening. She recommended a bottle of Baccarossa, Lazio 2021…...
