Popped into this place due to convenience of being a main restaurant on the square however wish we had researched a little first. Prices were really steep compared with other eateries down some of the side streets with no benefits to justify it. Service did not feel warm or accommodating as per other places we had visited in Rome. Order was taken and drinks were a shambles. Only wanted 1 pint of Peroni and 1 tap water. They delivered a bottle of water to the table and stated that tap water wasn’t available (so this was to be paid for). Then 5/10 mins passed without sign of my beer so I kindly asked them about it and he shortly returned with a small bottle of Peroni instead of a pint. I didn’t correct them as they seemed insulted that I’d reminded them in the first instance.
Food then came and was really delicious. Myself and my partner both had pasta dishes which were really tasty, zero complaints with regards to the food.
When the bill arrived, it was shoved under my nose along with the card machine which I wafted out of the way so I could read the receipt and I found that there was 2 pints of Peroni on there instead of 1 small bottle. I brought this to their attention and they removed one of the pints and at this point I didn’t want to argue the cost of 1 bottle vs 1 pint so I just paid the check so we could leave. There was zero gratitude from the staff. There is a 5 euro service charge at this establishment which I reluctantly paid feeling like the service I received was very undeserving.
I would urge anyone in the area to simply walk down any of the many side streets in the area where you will likely find many more accommodating establishments for a fraction of the price with no detriment to...
Read moreOverpriced tourist trap. We didn't come here with high expectations, considering we were certain it was a tourist trap. But we were very hungry and it looked more promising than the other places available, so we wanted to give it a try.
We were a group of five people, we ordered bruchetta with parma and mozarella, lasagna, salad with mozarella and lobster pasta. Bruchetta was ok, but tasteless. Lasagna was very small and and not very good either, tasted like frozen lasagna. They also forgot one bruchetta and one of the lasagnas, and we had to wait a very long time to get them after we finally we're able to contact and tell the waiter. The lobster pasta was a mess to eat, since it was served with only a few pieces of lobster meat and had a big lobster on top that had to be opened with any suitable tools available. The salad was also tasteless and a little wet. We also ordered some drinks, but these only tasted like alcohol.
This was without doubt the worst place we ate during our week-long...
Read moreMe and my girly wirlies were enjoying our time in Rome, had a few sore heads if you catch my drift 🤣! We stumbled upon this establishment under the lure of some coffees, sunshine and fulfilling refreshments. Lord, did we ask and NOT receive. My good friend, Hannah, asked for a “macchiato” and was given a CAFFÉ LATTE. Hannah, my good friend, contested this with the waitresses, who INSISTED that it was a macchiato”. I know I was feeling a bit worse for wear but I know a caffé latté when I see one! Upon this hiccup, we were served some very below par toasties - they made HOVIS appear to be a fine delicatessen 😂. TERRIBLE. The prices reflected the view, not the greasy spoon chip shop quality of a mid morning meal. I’d honestly recommend Woking pizza express above this “restaurant”! Also - what funny cigarettes must you be smoking to offer “just egg” on the menu for...
