One of the best experiences we've had eating out and about in Rome. What attracted us to the restaurant was the simple looking atmosphere on the outside. The small effort it needs to have people come inside is very telling. The service was fantastic, the food tasted better than it had any business tasting for the price. What we ordered was an aperol spritz and then pizza calzone and pizza diavola. Mind you this was not the only pizza we ate in Italy, but this was the only time it felt worth writing about. The pizza is clearly made in the location with freshly baked bread and the ingredients had a complexness to them that cheap ingredients don't typically have, and baked in a wood oven. The spicy salami on the pizza was amazing, and for me that was the best pizza I've ever tasted, the pizza calzone had very good portion size and the ingredients were also rich and flavorful, but the Diavola just outshined it, not the fault of the pizza calzone, entirely Diavola 's merit. To go with the pizzas we also ordered local wine, and this wine, while tasting sweet to the first tasting buds it touched, had a bit of a humble sourness in the aftertaste. Like a silent ninja, before me and my wife could tell we were not in the condition to drive. This was a great experience as our hotel was right across the street. For dessert we decided to go bonkers and tried 3 different ones. The gelato misto was a good mix, with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry in a cup, and some chocolate chips and red fruits jam at the bottom. We also tried the seadas, and the mix of sweet and salty was a fun experience. To end the night we had the tiramisu, this was my favorite desert this time, it is just what is expected of a tiramisu, except, better. I definitely recommend this restaurant despite the fact that it's difficult to find on Google. If you found this review it is probably because you are searching for a place to eat and are right in front of the restaurant, my advice is, go ahead and have...
Read moreMy husband and I ate at the Monte Arci whilst in Rome for the weekend. We had no reservation but thought the menu looked nice when we browsed it so decided to ask for a table. We were seated immediately in the lovely outside seating area and made to feel welcome by the staff who brought us complimentary pizza bread whilst we waited. We both had a large beer (660 ml bottles!!) and a 3 course meal then I had a gin & tonic and my husband had a cappuccino. The smoked salmon starter was beautiful, main course pizzas were large and very tasty and the tiramisu we had for desert was by far the best I've ever tasted. We were given complimentary limoncellos and after dinner biscuits when we asked for the bill and they even brought me a red rose 🥰 The staff were very helpful, friendly and polite, the food was absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced. Cannot recommend this...
Read moreThis was a solid experience just moments up the road from Hotel Andreotti. The food was good with a taste of hand made fettuccini Bolognese. The cacio e pepe was also good with an excellent white sauce. I wish it would have been made with a traditional spaghetti, but I'm not complaining. The suppli was wonderful. I wish Italian restaurants in the U.S. made mozzarella sticks the way they should be. The wait staff was spectacular seeing to our every need. Even as they got more and more busy our glasses were full. They also helped us to navigate the menu and made no attempt at up charging. In fact they helped us out by recommending less at times. The coffee we had with tiramisu was wonderful. I now see why people love italian coffee. The dinner finished with a limoncello shot and biscotti. The waiter also brought a flower to the table for my wife. A truly...
