SAPO' — Restaurant in Rome

We come into a place with dust hanging from the corners, and worn down tree decor on the walls, but we will give it a try, because the food could be great. The waiter cannot smile even once. When you get soda and water, you can use one wineglass to drink these from, no additional glasses for both water, and soda in separate ones. Despite there were barely any people, we had to ask for a kids chair on our own, and the staff seemed annoyed by our children. The food was some of the worst we had during our entire stay ever in Rome! The mozzarella was chewy like rubber, the tomatoes were dry and no flavor, we didn't get any glaze despite another table getting it when we left.

The people were very nice and service...

We’d walked past the restaurant a few times on our travels, and had been meaning to come all week as it looked very welcoming and the menu looked great. It was quite busy when we came but we managed to get a table quickly. I ordered the Papardelle alla bolegnese and my girlfriend ordered the Salame pizza. Both of which were delicious and I highly recommend. Our waiter spoke good English which was appreciated by us. The service was a little slow but the waiter did apologise for this as he stated it was busy and he was alone. Overall a great dining experience which I highly...
