I came here 15 years ago while doing research at the ACS. I was impressed at the simple food and…read morereasonable prices, and friendly service. I just returned and the place still has all the same qualities. They also have WiFi, which is a must for travelers. If you're in Eur, and especially working at the archives, go there.

This was absolutely delicious. So incredibly simple but perfectly done just as it should be. Super…read moreunpretentious atmosphere although speaking Italian will come in handy. This is a bit outside of Rome but very worth the drive as you won't find food like this in the city. Drink the Romanella and eat until you just can't anymore.....and then eat more! Cheers everyone!

We came to this local restaurant to grab a bite for lunch. We ordered a few delicious toasted…read morepaninis, and I had a cappuccino as well. The price was very reasonable, service was great and everyone was very friendly even though not all of the local staff spoke English. Definitely a great find and a high recommendation!

Had lunch at La Terrazza on a sunny crispy afternoon during the workweek…read more I already have reviews for most places I frequent here in Aurelia. It seems as though I had to expand on this one. Typical Italian meal, meat and pasta, lots of carbs, gnocchi-calzone-panini-macaroni, plus tons of desserts. Desserts at La Terrazza are really good. La Terrazza offers a rooftop terrace seating with gorgeous views of the country side. This is the type of place in the business park, within walking distance from Mariott, where many offices are located. People go to lunch here, it's a sort of a cafeteria style setting in terms of the presentation of food. Not your typical trattoria style. Great assortment of antipasti (cold appetizers), including sautéed veggies, artichokes, eggplant, roasted zucchini, red bell papers, carpaccio, prosciutto, soppressata, fresh mozzarella nuggets drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Beef stew, meat loaf, steamed seasoned potatoes, pasta shells, sautéed green beans, octopus with macaroni. I called them that, they may have proper Italian names attached, I just didn't care to go deep today, nor did I have time for that. Fabulous selection of pastries and desserts downstairs, including Sfogliatelle, Sanguinaccio dolce, Semifreddo, Zeppole, Canoli, Panna Cotta, Tartufo, and fruit compote. Advertised pizzas include the following: Pizza con Forno a Legna, anche Integrale - pizzas cooked in the wood burning oven, and also plate combos (complete meal): Ortolana - garden veggie pizza Margherita - traditional wood fired oven pizza Patate - Pizza di Patate with potatoes Boscaiola (Mozzarella, Funghi, Salsiccia) - mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, sausage Amatriciana (Pomodoro, Guanciale, Pecorino) - tomatoes, cured meat from pork cheeks, pecorino cheese

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Prompt service, waitress knew more than enough English…read moreto make the menu easy to understand. The food was a welcomed change from the standard pizza and pasta( did try the pasta) but the selection of meet was impeccable. For desert it was a Creme Brule and I can say I would have to come back to Italy just for this. The other stuff would be a bonus.

If you fly into or out of Ciampino airport, do yourself a favor and eat here. You will forget all…read moreabout that cramped Ryanair flight. As we are bad tourists with poor command of Italian, the friendly servers translated the entire daily specials menu into English for us. They brought us a tasting of their house bread and impossibly rich olive oil, which we downed greedily. The homemade tortellini pasta was outstanding. The succulent chicken was well complemented by a thick lemon-ginger sauce, and the tri-tip was seasoned to perfection. Wine pours were generous. All dishes were very reasonably priced. I hesitated to try the tiramisu, worrying it would be the first letdown of the meal. It did not disappoint. With an artisanal mound of cocoa topping and a generous base of liquor, it was probably the best tiramisu I've had. This dinner made us regret leaving Italy all the more. I never expected to voluntarily plan a trip to Ciampino, but this place would bring us back.

An excellent experience. The view is fantastic. The service was courteous and quick. The food was…read moregood, not brilliant, but the view is a big plus. The entrance to the elevators is on the opposite side of the parking lot and the ground level bistro. I recommend it.
