Trattoria Pizzeria Luzzi dal 1945 — Restaurant in Rome

I could write an essay about this place. First off, it was dirty. We were seated outside, but when we went in to pay, I couldn’t help but notice how dirty everything was. Even looking into the kitchen was not something I wanted to see after eating here. They had containers of Parmesan sitting outside with no covers, and we were all done with our pizzas before the bowl of “carbonara” was brought out.

We ended up leaving as there is not a way to treat a costumer. We walked 30 minutes to eat here and waited another 30 for him to say us anything. We ended up eating in another (and...

I'm so pleased we agreed to dine here. Although it doesn't look very appealing the food and service was incredible (our waiter was a star), and the experience was the most authentic we have had in Rome. The prices were very cheap, yet the food and ingredients were impressive. We would definitely come back (and we are PICKY!!) :-) The owner came over and spoke with us personally, offering us some after dinner drinks - which were delicious! They were also lovely with my brother who is in a wheelchair. V grateful! Excellent English too! We left a well...
