Piccadilly Roma — Restaurant in Rome

AVOID THIS TOURIST TRAP! We were 4 people serving dinner for my birthday, when the food came in very small portions. When we told the waiter, (a Moldovian really rude), he started to laugh and told "what we expect since we are on the San Giovanni (sigh!)".

The drinks were not drinkable and we left them on the table. And food was also really bad and left half of it untouched. On top of all, we were charged €100+ for something we haven't enjoyed. (Given the fact that we ate at different restaurant for 3 days in center of Rome near attractions and haven't payed more than €60 including drinks).

On top of that, the waiter called 2 other people from the back and pretended to take selfies together just to capture us in the photo.

When I asked to speak with the manager, the waiter went to the bar to ask him and came back in 5 seconds, telling us he's the manager (???).

The waiter was drunk and made the whole scene very unpleasant and ironic. When we left, he told us to write a good review for the restaurant (he was still drunk and ironic).

The manager should really be ashamed by this behaviour of...

This was the first and last time we ate here… this was beyond expensive and not worth it. To give you a few examples: you pay 18€ for 9 Raviolis that were cold to start with, so basically 2€ per Ravioli you pay 5€ for a freaking Coca Cola. In which world is this considered a normal price? oh and service is 2€ per person we were charged 3€ for tap water

To conclude: if you want to get ripped off this is the place to go.

EDIT to reply to the owner’s comment: absolutely love how they are trying to gaslight us into thinking that it is us who cannot afford these ridiculous prices. We’ve spent about 40-50€ as a couple in each lunch/dinner. All other places in this price range we ate at got 5-star reviews because the quantity AND quality justified the price. At Piccadilly, the quantity was ok for a kid and quality was non-existent. I stand by...

🇬🇧: Spacious and well-kept, with a warm, relaxed atmosphere both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor area is well set up and comfortable in every season: heated in winter, with misters and air conditioning in the warmer months.

The food is solid and grounded, with dishes that are well thought-out and well executed. The wine list is broad and diverse, without any rigid philosophy: this simply is a great place where to drink. Cocktails are made the way they should be: technically precise and balanced, flavorful and interesting, with a clear identity.

Service is one of the best reasons to come back. Everyone’s sharp, present, and focused. Stefano brings heart and consistency to the kitchen. Tommaso runs the floor and bar with natural ease. And then there’s Alex, Ion, Eddy, Gianluca: skilled, smiling, quietly surprising. Never over the top, always focused on anticipating the guest’s needs and making the whole experience seamless.

And sometimes, the night just falls into place: the right music, the right table, an unexpected conversation. You walk away with more than just a good meal or a great drink. That’s Piccadilly: it doesn’t try too hard, it just stays with you.

🇮🇹: Locale ampio, curato, con un’atmosfera accogliente e rilassata sia dentro che fuori. Lo spazio esterno è ben organizzato e piacevole in ogni stagione: riscaldato d’inverno, con nebulizzatori e aria condizionata nei mesi più caldi.

La cucina è solida, concreta, con piatti ben pensati e ben eseguiti. La carta dei vini è ampia, trasversale, senza fisse ideologiche: semplicemente, si beve bene. I cocktail sono fatti come si deve: tecnicamente precisi e bilanciati, gustosi e interessanti, con identità.

Il servizio è uno dei motivi per cui vale la pena tornarci: sono bravi, presenti, attenti. Stefano in cucina ci mette anima e costanza. Tommaso tiene le redini della sala e del bar con grande naturalezza. E poi Alex, Ion, Eddy, Gianluca: capaci, sorridenti e sorprendenti, mai sopra le righe, costantemente concentrati sull’anticipare il bisogno dell’ospite e garantirgli la miglior esperienza possibile.

E poi, a volte, capita che la serata giri bene: la musica giusta, il tavolo giusto, lo scambio che non ti aspettavi. E ti porti via qualcosa in più di un buon piatto o un bel drink. Il Piccadilly è così: non esagera, ma ti...
