Its on the same street as the Church of Santa Cecelia approximately 100 feet away. The plate costs $9 Euros per person. You get one full plate of all and any of your choices from the buffet counter. The restaurant offers a variety of authentic Italian items to choose from. You do not get to go back for seconds, so make sure you fill your plate. I think that the plate of food each of us had was a great value for the price we paid. Their drinks, coffee, and desserts are all reasonably priced. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and fun to speak to. TIP They do have a restroom so use it before you leave.

The food and drinks were tasty, though not exceptional. I'd return given it's value, except the service was honestly terrible. Despite our attempts to get attention, we were ignored while others were promptly served (this is for drinks, food is self-serve). My sister had to wave down a server to order her first drink. Later on, she was offered a second drink, but I was never asked if I wanted another. At the end, a server who I'd never seen came over to check us out. I think because he spoke English. When it was time to pay, he asked how much we wanted to pay. This was his way to ask for a tip, which is not typical in Italy, but since they profiled us as Americans immediately, i understand the attempt. My sister named the check amount and he processed it. After that, he said, "you know that that cost does not include a service charge?" She was taken aback and asked "oh, is there a service charge to eat here?" because sometimes there are service charges to eat at Italian cafes, but they are usually included in the bill. He laughed and said yes but walked away. This might be a tourist scam, as other reviews noted similar experiences, and the business stated tips are not mandatory. For locals, it's a great deal to enjoy a few drinks (around €8.50 each) and hang out with friends. While we were there it did appear to be the norm to camp out for a while.
