We enjoyed the food and the extra special attention our server gave our party. The food selection offered a great variety for palates and was well prepared and flavorful. The music was great. Restaurant was clean and had a nice modern decor. read more

A rip off. Prices aren't listed clearly and they will give you whatever they want and then charge you what they feel. Update. They Do Not label or tell you if they put common allergen ingredients such as nuts in flavors. When confronting the staff about it we were told we were stupid for not specifically asking for no nuts. Rather than just acknowledging they should put up a sign they called my partner stupid. I regrettably lost my cool. But would never recommend this place to anyone. It's a tourist trap, over priced, and at least one staff member rude. Certainly made my mind up about Rome and it's people. read more

Food was not very good, much better pasta else where. They also forgot one of the pastas for our group of 9 and 2 of us got sick after. Felt bad for our server as she seems to be the only one working besides the guy host. We had booked the reservation on The Fork app and did get 30% off the entire bill including the service charge of $3 euros per person. read more

It's located at the foot of the Spanish steps near all the luxury brands. When you enter there is sweets and sandwiches immediately available on the go, but upstairs is where they seat you for a more relaxed seating to enjoy the sun and people-watching! I ordered the lasagna and my fiancé got the bolognese, both very delicious. Portions aren't heavy and just right. The service was good and it wasn't overcrowded and busy. The perfect spot to just get away from the sun and enjoy your company. read more

This place was absolutely the worst experience I had in Rome. These people are 100% scam artists! I asked them the price of a gelato. He pretended to not understand a few times and finally said "2". Should've walked away then. He got out a huge waffle cone and we said "is that two euros?" and he pretends to not hear. we ask him LOUDLY three times and he finally nods. He only wanted to give one flavor. But I said most places give 2 flavors. He begrudgingly spooned a tiny scoop of flavor 2 on top. He then GRABBED my 20euro and threw it in his tip jar and tried to ignore us. When we complained, he let his cashier ring us up. Cashier proceeded to charge us 14 euro. Never gave us the 20 back. And gave us 6 euro change. All workers then just ignored us till we left. At least they let us use the bathroom... NOTE: recently I looked up "spagna gelato" and this type of scam started a long time ago. When the press brought it to attention the Mayor agreed it was a bad practice, but because the restaurant insisted they didn't do anything wrong and it was the customers fault, they go unpunished to this day. Apparantly, its just gotten 10 times worse because when we went we asked questions specifically and he lied to our faces. read more

Came upon this restaurant because we wanted to get out of the crowded street. It's on the second floor of a coffee bar and pastry shop, so very easy to miss. But don't miss it. Food was spectacular. It would be 5 stars if the service was better. Service was good, but not outstanding... a little lacking considering that we were one of four tables of guests. Food completely made up for it. We went full pasta today since it's our last full day in Rome. We got the Tonerelli Cacio E Pepe (square shaped spaghetti like pasta with salty cheese and fresh pepper) and pasta (I really don't know what type so I won't make it up) with all'amatriciana sauce (mind blowing tomato sauce with bacon). Dessert was a giant Sicilian cannoli. I am so sad we are leaving because there there several other dishes I wanted to try, specifically their grilled octopus di read more

This restaurant has a great view and the staff are very friendly, unfortunately the food was underwhelming. The steak was dry and the potatoes has so much rosemary that they were inedible. I wish I could have left a better review but the food just did not impress, perhaps it was an off day. The view of the Spanish steps is amazing so I would recommend to enjoy wine and watch the view. read more

Somewhat pricey but food is pretty good considering that it is located in a tourist trap haven. We came for a light lunch and it was nice that the restaurant was quite empty and quiet. I ordered their Caprese which was very tasty and refreshing. Their minestrone soup is also very good and hearty. I like that their decor is pretty modern, sleek, and clean. The staff are friendly as well. read more

This is a nice place to have a meal when you are near the area shopping. Probably one of the nice place to eat here near the Spanish steps! Very good pasta and a nice selection of pastries! The cappelletti is a must try here! Follow me on Instagram.com/edubie for my food pics and adventures! read more

So charming and clean. Not touristy or dirty. Some of the best pasta and meatballs I have ever had!!! I was not a big fan of the pizza, similar to American, but others that I was with enjoyed it! Very cute, great location. Lots of gelato and baked goods downstairs. Definitely recommend. read more

Bad service and found hair in ice cream and people dont take responsibility. Be aware if you order and food here

How on Earth this place is 4 stars? Poor service, very slow and the taste is not 4 stars by far, is just normal.

Inexpensive, but the portions are so small that it actually is pretty expensive. Pasta is pretty cheap, not really sure why a portion of pasta is so small here. However, this is not why they get 1 star. Customer service is the reason. We had asked for a bottle of water for our table. They gave us two bottles - one opened and one unopened. We drank the opened one, and left the unopened one untouched. When the bill came, they charged us for both bottles. No biggie, we asked them to take back the water and remove the bottle of water from the bill. This is when they became rude and nasty. Their excuse for being unable to take back an unopened water was because "it is impossible, I already put it in the system." Seriously? just take back the water, click the minus quantity sign in the POS system, and reprint the receipt. In the end, we paid for the water after arguing with them for 10 minutes and having them keep telling us "you didn't tell us you didn't want two", "it's impossible." We noted that they didn't come by our table once after they gave us our food. Their response? "Well we don't charge a service fee like all the other restaurants." WTF? No service fee so you get no service. We came to this place because of the good reviews on Yelp, but this place is out to trick tourists of a measly extra 4 Euros. We would have tipped 18-20%, which would have amounted to $15-20. But they would rather be like other restaurants out to trick tourists out of a couple extra dollars. read more

The restaurant is located at the foot of the Spanish Steps. The service is good and the food is awesome. I highly recommend the pistachio gelato. The place looks very cozy and relaxing in the middle of the Plaza España. Give it a try! read more

We've had some great meals in Italy - this was one of the best. Fantastic pasta! Two dishes with added black truffle were suggested by Irene, our delightful server. We couldn't agree which was better. We also had the best Caprese/mozzarella and Caesar salads imaginable. read more

Excellent location, delicious food, not too expensive, super friendly and helpful staff. 2 entrees, an appetizer, a glass of wine, water, and dessert was about $65. Lasagna was amazing! Highly recommend! Tiramisu was good but not quite worth the cost. However this place definitely deserves a visit while in Rome. read more

I passed this restaurant earlier in the day while sight-seeing and made a point to come back for an early dinner that evening. Push past the gelato and dolce crowd, and make your way upstairs to a delightful dining experience. The dining room is restful and simply decorated, making it an oasis amidst the crowds of the Spanish steps. The service was excellent. I wanted to try a range of dishes to get a sense of their flavor profile. I had the mango salad, which was absolutely delicious. Perfect mix of greens, generous serving of thinly sliced mango, augmented with pine nuts, walnuts, and raisins. Dressing light and flavorful. A clear win! Then had the beef carpaccio (with arugula and generous cheese accent) and the roasted vegetables. Both were lovely. The bread was the best that I have had so far in Rome (and that's saying a lot!) The servings are generous and would be good for sharing, if so desired. I didn't have room for dessert, unfortunately. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to return there again during this visit to Rome. read more
