    Spaghettio flavored gnocci
    Ambre M.

    Got pulled into this trap walking around the market. Then, saw the yelp ratings and thought, too late now, let's give this a chance. My husband ordered gnocchi and I got Alfredo. When the gnocchi came out, we were shocked. It looked so strange. They looked like Cheeto puff chip balls. We tasted and we both agreed the taste was so familiar, but couldn't think of what it tasted like. Then we realized what it was.... Spaghettios from a can... identical flavors. I feel like the sauce on the gnocchi was literally that sauce lol. It was so bad my husband took one bite and didn't finish. Our worst experience in Italy.

    Just don't!! Extremely long wait for breakfast. After 30 minutes we were told they didn't have what we ordered. Ordered again. Another 30 minutes with no food. Had to get to a tour we had tickets for so we asked to just pay for our drinks. They said it was ready and brought out raw sausage and the nastiest eggs you can get. Walk the extra distance to somewhere else.

    Great place to have some wine and watch all the people in the Piazza. Priya was a great server! She really took care of us.

    First don't eat at any trattoria or restaurant on the square. If someone has to stand outside to "lure" you in that's a red flag. However, they have a sandwich or panini place with the same name on the side street. You walk up and choose from many including porcheta. I had a cheese, mushroom and arugula panini and my husband had the porcheta. They were both delicious and 5 stars. It was about 11 euros for two huge sandwiches and a coke. They had the friendliest service. No seating because it's to go. We ate at some of the finest restaurants but these sandwiches were a highlight! Locals buying them too....

    Rigatoni with ham and bacon

    We stopped by this restaurant after taking a glance at the menus at the restaurants around the plaza. It seemed reasonably priced, and the food looked good. The waiters were okay, and service was average-paced. Not too great, but not bad either. To be fair, we wandered in not speaking Italian, so I guess a lukewarm welcome is to be expected. For an appetizer, we ordered a caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella; the veggies were super fresh, and the buffalo mozzarella was delicious. My fiance has rigatoni with ham and bacon-- it was pretty good, and the ham was bursting with flavor. I ordered a salad with tomato and buffalo mozzarella (yes, the mozzarella was THAT good). I'd say the food is above average. Ambiance is pretty good, too; overlooking the piazza at night was fun, and it felt quite quaint.

    I can not say enough about this pace. This one restuarant made our whole trip!!! While roaming the streets in rome stumbled upon this lovely restaurant and decided to sit down for "a" drink. 3 hours later we had multiple drinks and the best chicken carbonara ive ever had!!!! All said and done i was in shock our meal was so cheap! We really enjoyed the street preformer aswell!!!

    We had already ordered before I saw the Yelp reviews, so I was concerned...but the food was actually good. Typical slow Italian service, but friendly staff. Food was good...the Roman pork chop was great, and I enjoyed the eggplant. The test of our party (3 adults) enjoyed their food as well.

    Sadly we didn't eat here, but the service was quick, the beer was cold, and the people watching was tip top. And yes, I suppose it's filled with tourists, but the location is fun for listening to randoms play street music and a view of the piazza. TIp top, nicht schlect. Wir hatten nur Bier, aber es war schoen.

    The ambience here was nice and they were very friendly. The food was good at the time though wasn't so nice later when multiple members of my group got food poisoning after. We were thinking it was the cheesecake.

    We only came here for a drink and the drink earned it the 4 stars. Out of all the places around the square we picked this one because it looked the most popular and it had some curb appeal with the red/white checkered tablecloths and the hanging plants. The waiters were just ok, but not as genuine charming as I already got used to. BUT the drink.... We took the Virgin Mule. It's with stuff I don't know, but I've added a picture of the menu with the contents in Italian.. Will Google translate them later to make it at home. I think it's one of the best cocktails I've ever drunk. Although maybe I haven't been around that much ;) It look likes a Mojito, but with a cucumber sticking out. It's rly tasty and fresh with a strange effect to your throat. It's like a burning sensation which you might have with a strong alholic beverage, but... It's alcohol free. It costed 6 euro. The regular cocktails with alcohol were 8 euro here. The amount in the glass was ok, but it finished quickly.. But that's me ;) Toilets for women were ok, but as lots of places no seats. Mens looked a bit ew, but what's new.

    Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

    Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
