Surprised by the good reviews as our experience was disappointing from start to finish.

We ordered two pizzas, both had the most rubbery cheese which was unable to melt - as shown in pictures. The thickness of toppings meant they didn’t have time to cook in the oven which resulted in watery, flavourless food - the ingredients were cheap. I told the waiter the pizza wasn’t good, he replied “well that’s what you ordered, I told you not to” and laughed, assuming we would find this funny. He then offered an alternative, I refused all the meals were bad.

A friend had the mussels, these were very gritty. Her wine was dreadful. The sparkling water for the table was flat.

We asked for the bill, the waiter then brought the manager to discuss our feedback. The manger was defensive and told her the pizzas were typical of Rome. I’ve show these pictures to 4 restaurant owners in Rome and they’ve shared my dismay, these are not Roman pizzas. The waiter and manager were very dismissive yet trying to act like they cared. They decided to discount our bill by €80. We didn’t ask for them to do this. We insisted on paying. It was the right gesture for them to make, but sad they seemed to do this to avoid a negative review rather than finely care about our experience.

We will not go back and remain baffled by the number of people eating here.
