We came here for lunch after a busy morning exploring the Roman Forum, and needed some food/rest…read morebefore venturing on to the Colosseum. This was located super close to both locations, and we were seated quickly with no fuss. We shared a pizza and the pesto with burrata. The star of the show definitely was the burrata - what can I say, I LOVE cheese! The price was also fair too, given the proximity to all the touristy locations. My sister wanted an iced caffeinated drink (... sorry, we are Americans - I am sure this is not a cultural norm in Italy...), the server said that they didn't have that type of drink but made something work, which we appreciated. We didn't feel rushed, and not in the thick of the crowds, with very attentive service. Definitely great food, good relaxing place, reasonable price for Rome!

Our food didn't come for 1hour 45 minutes so we had to leave the restaurant with no food to catch our flight. The people next to us came 1 hour later and got their food but no utensils and when they asked they were refused service and yelled at. Do not come here. I wish negative reviews were possible because I would give this place -5 stars.

The paninis were warmed up once we ordered and were very flavorful. The tuna was a little on the salty side though, so just a heads up. The pork was delicious and you can request to have some buffalo cheese (mozzarella) added to it, making it taste even better. We arrived just after the lunch rush so no wait, but even when they have a crowd, they move very quickly. They also have inside seating, but very few seats (maybe 10 total) counter set up. In case you need to use wifi, you can catch up while eating your meal.

I swear by the pre-mades. I have bought several. No one anywhere within a kilometer of Valli makes premades that are as good. You can eat on premises like a restaurant or you can take your goodies home. Load up with everything you see. You can't go wrong.

Many of the local business people have lunch here. You go inside to select your meat and vegetables. Then take a seat and the waiter will bring your food to you. I recommend the roast beef. Wine is only six euros a glass. Much cheaper than most of the tourist spots. It is only a half a block off of via Veneto. The covered Outdoor seating allows smoking - as many of the outdoor cafés do. Indoor seating is non-smoking. The waiter speak enough English to communicate. Service is very good. Go inside to pay after your meal
