    Parma Ham and melon
    Christine L.

    Usually in high traffic/tourist areas, the food is subpar. That is not the case here. First of all it is a beautiful overlook, it is easy to get to and the food was absolutely AMAZING!! We will be back and will recommend it to our friends and family when they visit Rome.

    Garden patio dining, lovely breeze, with a well enjoyed aperol spritz
    Devon M.

    Our first meal after landing in Rome and it was wonderful! Gorgeous patio with stunning views and a lovely breeze- beautiful garden feel. Everyone nicely dressed and very classy. The gnocchi was amazing as was the prosciutto with melon and antipasto were all delicious! Wonderful service as well.

    Great food with great views! No more to be said - you won't be disappointed - both Italian and English menus available

    The sunset view of Roma and Vaticano in the distance from the gazebo at Caffe Ciampini!

    Two things: 1) The View 2) OH MY GOD THE VIEWWWWWWWWWW! Yes, Caffe Ciampini has incredible views but they also have fantastic food. If Rome is your honeymoon destination, romantic vacation destination, or date destination this place will make the panties or undies drop!!! Trust me, the view alone deserves 5 stars but you pair that with a fantastic meal... ORGASM Located just up the road from the Spanish Steps in Rome, Caffe Ciampini has one of the best steaks around! If you are tired of pastas and pizzas and want a good steak, come here... The meat was huge (that's what she/he said) and filling (school girl giggle). If you make the smart decision to come here, please request the gazebo! It has the best view of the Vatican. If you watch the sunset over the vatican, it is breathtaking and beautiful. You will love the view here. And you will also love the food. Ciao!

    This place is great. One of my better dinning experiences in Rome. Our door patio is super as is the view. The food is delicious including the cod risotto and teramisu.

    House cocktail, peroni cerveza =)

    Only stopped for coffee but what a location. So relaxed about a couple ordering mere capuccini. And so reasonable.

    Ottimo ristorante. Ambiente piacevole e piatti curati. Prezzi tuttavia un po' troppo alti.

    Trieste - Chianti, Greek salad, and a small burrata-truffle-prosciutto pizza

    Passed this spot on the way back to the hotel and thought I need to try and returned to find a…read moresmaller almost "hole in the wall" space with an extensive variety of specialty pie options and some fun signs posted-ie "If you ask me for ketchup and mayonnaise I'll call the police!!." They have a small pizza and a bigger size which I would say is about 10 inches. The small size was sold out on my first visit and found out better to arrive earlier (before 6) for these. The Mini pies are good if you want to try a few varieties-so many so little time. Ordered the big Amatriciana (the unloved pasta dish of the big Roman four as a pizza) which was recommended-Pecorino, mozzarella with the Pork cheeks taking it over the top-one of their most popular and rightfully so! On the second visit , they had the small size pies-Friarielli & Salsiccia-Broccoli Rave and sausage-tasty, Fegato & Cipolla-pork liver sausage with onions and peppers made for a "not everyday" and delicious pie. Both visits service was excellent and engaged. This place screams independent and one of a kind but it turns out they are a regional chain with a handful of locations. Amazing pizza with so many options!

Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot.

    **Ce Stamo a Pensà -- Rome **…read more After a long flight and arriving in Rome late at night, we decided to stretch our legs and walk around--and somehow stumbled upon this little gem. There were no tables available when we arrived, but we figured the wait might be worth it. **It absolutely was.** While we waited, they offered us some wine and a little bite--almost like a small pastry filled with cheese and tomato--which was such a thoughtful touch and made the wait feel effortless. Once seated, we ordered more wine along with two Roman classics: **Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara.** The **Cacio e Pepe** was exactly what we hoped for: beautifully creamy, cheesy, and well balanced without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The pepper came through nicely, complementing the richness of the cheese rather than overpowering it. The **Carbonara** was equally impressive. The pasta had that wonderful fresh, silky texture, the sauce was rich and intensely cheesy, and the pancetta was perfectly crispy and salty. Every bite had the right balance of creamy, savory, and salty. Ambiance was quiet, chill and very welcomely.

    The food is pretty good. I'd stay away from the traditional sandwich and go for the pita pocket…read moretype sandwiches or the pasta dishes. Also the fried pizza is pretty good. The service is very good and friendly. Now the warning. There is usually a line. There are only enough tables for 15 people and calling them tables is a stretch. As you walk along a thin hallway towards the restroom there are 3 tables for 2. At the entrance there are two counters that have 4 seats on one side and 5 on the other. You also need to have an ass that fits on a small stool. They play great American and British Rock and have semi passable AC.
