    Huge slice of lasagna and red wine for 8 euros.
    Wen-fai F.

    This is an amazing spot for English-speaking tourists! Came here by myself at the recommendation of my B&B owner. It was easily the best meal I had during my entire stay in Rome and probably during all of my travels to Italy. The layout is a "buffet" style with a selection of pizzas, pastas, vegetables, appetizers. A typical filled plate is 9 euros, but honestly unless you're the hungriest person on Earth, you can probably split a "filled" plate between two people. I just wanted a piece of lasagna and they gave me an extremely generous portion for 5 euros. The lasagna was true Italian style with bechamel (instead of ricotta, which often appears in the American version) and parmesan (instead of mozzarella). Everything was so perfect about it and I savored every bite. It really made me appreciate the subtleties of Italian cooking. I also got a glass of house red wine for 3 euros. Eight euros for the perfect meal in Rome, not bad. Since everything is pre-made and all they do is heat it up, it's a great place if you're travelling by yourself or want a quick sit-down dinner. I hope my life will take me back to Rome so I can have this meal again!

    Not flavorful very bland

    1.I had to get my own food(actually bring it to the table) 2.I saw that they microwaved the food before handing it to me to take to my table (not fresh) 3.16 euros for lunch is a little too much money 4.drinks are not included it's additional 5.did not taste any more special than McDonald's

    The round pizzas are made fresh to order, and they're huge! Everything that we tried here was great.

    Trieste is an easy five stars…read more It's a tiny place with only about 8-10 tables, but you can also order at the counter and take your food to go. We were lucky enough to grab a table for lunch. We had a margherita, pepperoni, and a burrata with prosciutto pizza. All three were outstanding. The crust, the dough, the toppings - everything tasted fresh and came together perfectly. One of the best, yet simplest meals we've had. They also offer salads, though we didn't try any. The two behind the counter were fun and friendly. They take your order, ask where you're from, and then shout out your location when your food is ready - a really fun touch. Bonus: our table had a USB charging station, which was a really nice surprise while out exploring the city. There's also a small bathroom in the back for customers. This one really hit home. Definitely worth a stop.

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.

We ordered & sipped two glasses of wine outside, then placed a variety of dishes to share while they cleared the table: pasta, two small pizzas, baby octopus, Genovese (stewed beef), Arancino, and more wine/beer.

Seating area was very small. I was seated in walk way area and it was a bit busy with people going in and out of restrooms. Ordered Carbonara, Genovese and Aperitivo. I had Carbonara for the first time and I m not a big fan of it. I have to try it again to make sure if it's me or the way the dish taste. Genovese was ok, beef stew was inside of a bread. Aperitivo, I chose spritz which came with refreshing cocktails and three little fried pizza. Overall the food tasted acceptable but wait time for Cabonara was long. It must have been like 30 minutes. I was done eating everything and had to just wait for that. The restaurant was small and this is a classic popular dish. I don't think they should take this long.
