Al 34 was a restaurant recommended by our hotel. It is near the Spanish Steps, on a busy street…read moreand close to lots of high-end shopping: Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany's, Chanel, etc. We had a Friday nite 8:30 reservation (made that afternoon) and was seated near the entrance door, inside. It is a large restaurant and was full of lively patrons. The indoor decor is warm and inviting. The first thing I noticed was the camaraderie between the waitstaff - everyone seemed to get along, helped each other and were having fun. We had 2 wonderful Filipino waiters. One had the same Ray-Ban meta glasses as my husband, which they bonded over. We ordered the bombolotti carbonara and lasagna-both delicious. For the mains, grilled Turbot (which was perfectly de-boned tableside) and meatballs w/ mashed potatoes. While the waiter was de-boning the fish, the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver came on overhead. My husband and I both looked at each other and smiled, thinking WTH?! I asked the waiter, "did we tell you we were from West Virginia?" and he smiled and shook his head. But later confessed, he played it for us (I guess we did tell him, lol). It made our night. Rome was the last city in our multi-city 12 day tour and we loved every minute but we were looking forward to going home. Hearing "Country Roads" at a popular and busy restaurant a block away from the Spanish Steps blew our minds. A young couple sat next to us for a quick snack, I asked her what she ordered (it looked delicious) and she said "Im from a different part of Italy but come here just for their artichokes". A few minutes later, I saw a plate full of artichokes pass by, being brought to a table outside. They made my mouth water. Al 34 was one of our favorite restaurants in Italy -- wonderful food (extensive menu), very lively with a mixed crowd (lots of Asians, English speakers and native Italians). It is a fun place to go and the wait staff is one of the reasons I will be coming back. I cant wait to try their artichokes! If you see the word, carciofo (artichoke), order it!

We selected L'Europeo because it met all three criteria & it was one of our favorite meals in Rome! We sat outside on the patio, taking in the warm evening air with a carafe of the house red. Our gracious & very patient server started us out with fresh bread & crunchy breadsticks. We definitely didn't eat "like Italians" with their measured courses. Instead, we were more like enthusiastic, hungry Americans - eating courses out of order but everything was delicious & the staff couldn't have been more gracious! The funghi pizza was earthy & flavorful with that perfect Roman-style crispness. The overflowing bowl of mussels in white wine, garlic & herbs was unbelievably fragrant & savory. It was one of those dishes you keep dipping bread into long after the shells are empty! You can't eat out in Roma without ordering a pasta dish! We selected the Penne all'Arrabbiata which had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the delicious tomato sauce. To round out the meal, we ordered the chocolate tiramisu for dessert. It was rich & velvety, chocolately in two different ways. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed & the whole experience was warm & welcoming! L'Europeo is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about long after the trip is over. Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

We had the escalope Milanese style and spaghetti pomodoro, water and soft drinks. The wine list was limited but good. The establishment was off the sidewalk down a set of steps, so we weren't getting solicited by peddlers every five minutes or fogged in cigarette smoke. I really appreciate the peace. If you want a quiet intimate little dining establishment, try L'Europa.

I am sad to say ... it's the worst thing I've crossed off my bucket list. I know that Fettuccini Alfredo is made different than in the states... which I thought would be a plus. Pasta, butter, and cheese... sounds perfect! Sadly I left super underwhelmed. The dish lacked flavor of any kind and I even added truffles! How could this be?! The staff all seemed very new so I'll give them to benefit of the doubt on a few blunders we experienced. Overall I'm glad I can say I have tried the location of origin now, but that's pretty much the only reason I can see for visiting this restaurant. I take that back, their sommelier was great! He recommended the perfect champagne for us. Other than that if you're short on meals save your tummy for somewhere else.

But looking at our bill- we got charged for the following but did not get: Mazzancolle alla Griglia (did not order and did not get). They also brought over Tonnarelli Allo Scoglio which we did not order but ate thinking it was part of our order. They came by and said it was a mistake and still charged us for that as well. I'd be very careful to look at your receipt and understand exactly what you're getting. We lost 41 euro. Granted we actually received one of the two dishes we were charged so it was "less of a loss". We won't be making this mistake again. Tourists especially be aware. Be firm with your server if something doesn't look right. We had let it go with the language barrier, but looking back, it felt dishonest. More.... Pasta dishes were ok, but the shrimp was not fresh or deveined. Spaghetti pomodoro e basilico tasted like they used canned tomatoes. Overall ambience seemed clean though. All pasta was al dente. Giving 2 stars is generous considering what happened. Service aside from the confusion seemed generally nice out of courtesy but not kind and there's a big difference. We definitely felt rushed since they probably wanted to keep turning tables. I was expecting more since we had read all the great reviews prior to booking. Just be careful with the bill to make sure you aren't getting swindled.
