Taverna Giulia — Restaurant in Rome

The negative reviews left on Google about this place are frustrating because most of them reflect ignorance rather than a true depiction of the restaurant (they do NOT, for example, expect you to get more than one meal, as one reviewer said - that's just ridiculous!). We actually stayed in an Airbnb in the same building as Taverna Giulia, but didn't eat there until our last night. Tucked away in a recessed piazza, it was easy to overlook.
