Stopped in for Aperol Spritzs before dinner and sat at their bar. They have about 5 seats at their bar, so it's small, but worth sitting at. Service was great! Younge man who helped us was very friendly. They have the ability to make most cocktails. There's also seating outside, along the front. They gave us a nice, complimentary plate with assorted snacks, like olives, potato chips, and those round, Italian cookies (more savory than sweet). We definitely enjoyed this stop before dinner for spritzs! read more

Acquasalata - Mussels - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Rome, RM

Disappointing food and service here. Food is overprice and mundane. They also charged you 3EUR per person as service charge while the menu clearly stated 2EUR. Waitress argued that this is an outdated menu. Avoid it if possible. read more

Acquasalata - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Rome, RM

Acquasalata is a cafe in Rome, that serves both food and illy coffee. I came in here after being approached by a waitress, I shown her my coeliac gluten free card, and she understood it!!!!! After a long, painful progress of finding gluten free, I finally have... well sort of! They didn't have a particular book or dietary labeling, but they was someone who was able to tell me if something was gluten free, it was a little hard in translation as my server didn't speak perfect english, but we still got there. I want to start on a negative and say I was upset that no one came over while I was eating to make sure my food was okay, I'm sure the woman standing near to me would have taken negative feedback but as she was just standing their waiting at times, it would of been nice if she took a moment to check if everything was okay. It is mainly outdoor seating, with a little inside and they is a big menu outside, where someone if often standing. They is wifi here, which as I recall is the cafe name followed by 2015, although I'm not confident of that, so I would suggest checking with the staff! I ordered some baked potatoes, I didn't really know what to expect other than potatoes cooked in oil with garlic and rosemary, would they be like jacket potatoes, chips, cooked potatoes, wedges? They were mainly like crisps but hot and cooked, they were okay but they were nothing special, and probably was slightly overpriced at 5.50 euro, by a euro perhaps as they were basically homemade crisps. Most of the crisps were quite soft, and you could tell they was a potato, but in some parts they were crispy, and I found it to be far too crispy and I prefered the more softer ones. It was pretty pricy here, for 2 small coffees and my meal, and a cheesecake (not for me, not GF sadly) it was about 25 euro, and the quality could of been much better. I must comment, the cheesecake was presented immaculate, and my friend seemed to enjoy it! The staff were not great, they did seem nice, trying to help but still as I said, it would of been better for the both of us, if conversation flowed better, things were explained better and easier in english. I was very upset to be approached by a beggar when I was trying to eat my food, I was sat in the chair closest to the high street and in all honesty I feel the staff should do something to avoid things like this, especially when paying, customers are trying to enjoy a meal in their restaurant. The outdoor seating isn't particularly nice, the seats are garden chairs, which are able to fold up but it is a hassle, and the staff seemed to struggle, and the table I sat (not physically) on was quite slanted, which worried me a little as I had a hot coffee, which was okay but nothing special or fresh italian coffee as it was simply illy, which is available in England, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Even though they could provide gluten free information and my food was up to a satisfactory standard, everything here is at the lower end of average, but still I don't feel this place deserves more than 2 stars, for the following reasons: - The staff could speak more fluent english, hence making it easier, and asking me how I was getting on. Although I appreciate them trying! - The outdoor seating is not too nice, although not the worst I have seen - They did originally only bring the one coffee instead of two! - The situation with the beggar also disappointed me. read more

Acquasalata Fish&Lounge became our favorite place to eat and drink at in Rome. The hosts were extremely kind and their service were fenomenal. The restaurant is located on a cozy street near Piazza Di Spagna (Spanish steps). I highly recommend this place if you're in Rome, Italy! We came here every night, that's how much we loved it! 10/10 read more

Definitely a beautiful restaurant to have dinner. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are comfortable and casual. The setting is also clean and nicely decorated. The staff are welcoming, respectful, and nice. Though, I did ask a hostess for the wifi password as she passed my table and she said she would get back to me; however, never returned with the information. I ordered the homemade fettuccini with lemon dressed red shrimps and crispy seasonal vegetables. It came out warm and fresh. The flavor was absolutely amazing. From the richness of the sauce to the hint of sweetness of the shrimp, I truly enjoyed the deliciousness of the meal. The only major downside to the meal was the portion. The whole dish seemed like it would be considered as an appetizer. I was still very hungry at the end of the dinner. I have received way more pasta at other restaurants in Rome for prices lower than the €14.00 acquasalata was charging. A hefty price for a tiny portion of pasta was very disappointing. This is not a classy or Michelin star restaurant. So, one would expect larger portions here. As for drinks, I did not think they were bad. I tried a mojito, which was tasty. Although it is not made too sugary, make sure you give it a good stir so your first sip is not a bunch of sugar. The Bellini here is good as well with a good balance between the Prosecco and peach juice. read more

Excellent lasagna. Really, so good. Trust me. That's the only thing we had. I would have given 5 stars but there is an unexpected "servicio" charge on the bill for $4. Music: new age, techno. Decor: modern. read more

Food was ok but the proprietors' actions made this a horrible experience! My wife was pouring some olive oil on some bread, he took the olive oil out of her hands and told her that it was used for the salad only. He then proceeded to tell us he would charge us for the olive oil we used for the bread. The waiter was very embarrassed by his actions but the damage was done. This was our last night in Italy we visited 11 cities in 10 days and eat at expensive and not so expensive places, but never had an experience such as this. read more

Really great fresh dishes! The orange salad add a dressing of olive oil and cracked pepper hit the spot. The catch of the day, sea bass, with potatoes, olives, and tomatoes was perfectly simple and delicious. Oh and don't forget the oysters, not as briney as you get with blue points or other east coast varieties but very nice with a squeeze of limone. Wait staff were lovely and attentive! Really enjoyed! read more

A very nice looking restaurant. Food wasn't great, overpriced for what you are getting. Very poor timing on when meals came out. My appetizer came out the same time as the main courses of the party I was with. My main course arrived after everyone had finished their meals. Female bathroom ran out of toilet paper. read more

We ordered one latte and one cappuccino. Neither were anything to write home about (not good but also not bad). However, €5 for each was a bit stiff. Staff were friendly and there is free wifi. read more

Not good. The cooking is good because the smells are right. But the materials are not fresh, the shrimp are floppy. The fish is previously frozen so the taste remind me of a fridge. Our server is nice and the white wine he suggested is nice though. read more

The place is cozy, relaxing upon walking in. Nice decor. The food mediocre. The pasta carbonara with bacon was not good. We ask as well for spaghetti with clams it was so so. Not a place to come back too. Price was fair. read more

I ordered mussel gnocchi, my partner got spaghetti with cheese and pepper (can't remember the exact names on the menu). The gnocchi was nothing to rave about. The pasta arrived cold and it tasted like alfredo sauce from a jar. The portions were small and the price of everything was very high. Although there is an extensive wine menu, there was no house wine. The cheapest alternative suggested by the waiter was double the price of other locations with average taste. This was the worst meal in our week in Italy. read more

I came here for a quick coffee and desert, so I had a home made Tiramissu, it was quite nice. Also, it's worth to mention that they have two personal wifi spots ;) read more

We were initially intrigued by this restaurant because of what appeared to be fresh fish in the window. We were approached by a very aggressive hostess and took the bait. Unfortunately, we read these reviews just after ordering. Our wine was okay but priced high. I ordered the sea bass. They brought me the wrong one but it wasn't worth the hassle of complaining. The dish was less than to be desired. It was extremely unappealing aesthetically. It looked like a defrosted piece of fish and tasted as if it was steamed with no seasoning added. If it wasn't garnished with a piece of lemon it would have tasted like nothing. My husband ordered the scampi, which was presented better, but lacked substance. This was our last meal and was the most expensive meal we have had our entire trip between the last 10 days in Rome and Barcelona and it was by far the worst meal. The service was okay but unfortunately I come to eat and will overlook poor service if my meal is exceptional. read more
