    Sandy is so helpful and speaks English well.

    Wonderful Cappuccino! We had 2 pastries, 3 special coffees and it was only 9,20 Euros! Such a nice cafe. I also bought blackberry jam - homemade - to take home as a gift for 5 Euros.

    Easy going late lunch near the Vatican

    Our AirBnb host suggested La Fiorentina since their locals and had great suggestions so far we went after our day at the Vatican. It's an awesome place with a wide variety of food with fresh ingredients and pizza was best we had on our trip. We had a really nice conversation with a local couple in Italian (we don't speak italian! ). But they were so friendly it made our day. Many reviews here say the service is terrible but i think Americans are judging based on walking into a Chili's or something. We definitely waited for a second beer and asked for the check 2 times but you're sitting on an outdoor patio enjoying the people walk by and you're in ROME! Take it easy and enjoy this special stop for the best food, unique-drinks and amazing deserts.

    perfect breakfast spot! we came here first for dinner one night during our trip to rome with was fine but their breakfast pastries were the best we had! service is quick and pretty easy to navigate with only a bit of italian (please and thank you) and prices and very reasonable. if you like almond, i highly suggest the almond croissant, it has a sweet and salty filling, almost like american almond butter, that i will totally miss once we leave

    Came in for my first Italian cuisine experience in Italy and I was not disappointed. I loved the food and the atmosphere. I had the Carbonara with the house wine and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Went back in the morning to get some pastry and cappuccino. Great place to eat if you are in the area.

    Seafood risotto
    Erin D.

    The first time I went, I had the seafood risotto, prosecco, and pistachio gelato. The food was AMAZING. I realize I am from the USA, but this was definitely the best risotto I ever had. My dad ordered the lasagna, which is made with a béchamel sauce, and he said it was the best lasagna he's ever had. I would've given four stars alone for this first time visit! We were so impressed we decided to return a second night, and that was a mistake, hence docking a star. I ordered the prosecco, arancini, and cacio e pepe (made with pici pasta). I felt these items fell short of places where I've eaten in the USA. The arancini was a bit dry, and the pasta's sauce was pretty thick. I realize this is part of the dish, but I didn't know ahead of time pici pasta was used. Oh well. The restaurant was very busy each time. The first night the waitress took about 20 minutes before coming to our table. She apologized and we understood, but don't arrive starving LOL! The second night was a bit calmer, but a man passed out twice. I didn't see it (dad had a better view), but there was a bit of chaos. My dad said the man seemed embarrassed after the first time, but the family didn't really seem to care. My dad was shocked the family didn't do anything to prevent the second fainting. Oh well. If I am in the area, I'd return again for the risotto, lasagna, gelato, and the pastries (regretfully didn't try). Skip the pasta. You are probably better off at Bella Napoli not too far away (and closer to the Ottaviano train station) for pasta!

    Tiramisu

    After being turned away from Fabrica we found this gem!! Thank you! The best Tiramisu and cheesecake! Friendly owner and staff! Ciao!

    Valtellina Pizza, a beautiful crusty pizza with Mozzarella and Scamorza cheeses topped with Bresaola ham and slices of parmesan.

    We found this after we became lost in Rome looking for a pizza place we saw on the Food Channel. We are so glad we did! We ordered the Valtellina pizza and it was the best pizza we had in Italy. The crust was amazingly thin and crusty covered with mozzarella and scamorza cheeses. The protein was this thick salty bresaola ham topped with tasty slices of parmesan and arugula leaves thrown in for a splash of green. The place is near the Prati neighborhood not far from the Vatican on a major street, so it won't be hard to find. It's not a tourist place so be patient trying to communicate in English, our waiter spoke very little. But, he was attentive and somehow we got everything we wanted. After you're done, stroll across the street to the market and pick up everything from pastries to canned goods or a sports coat.

    Puff pastry with mixed berries :-)

    Yelped a place to eat after our day at the Vatican Museums. This place was only a 5 minute walk away so we decided to try it out. We sat ourselves in the patio area because there was no one outside to greet us when we walked to the entrance. After about 10 minutes, someone finally came to check on the three other tables that were seated outside and noticed us sitting there. We got our menus and in another 10 minutes, our waiter returned to take our order. He spoke English pretty well so that was convenient. We ordered 1 starter and 2 main dishes. The starter took about 5 minutes to arrive, which was great. Forgot the name but it was a bunch of deep fried zucchini strips, fish, and other veggies. It went well with the beer. The main dishes took another 15 minutes to come out. My boyfriend had a pizza (€8), and I had a risotto (€13, and one of the specials of the day). I took one bite of my food and immediately knew I wasn't going to finish the rest. The risotto was dry, chewy, and I couldn't taste anything except smoke. Rather than wait another 15+ minutes for a new meal, I shared my boyfriend's pizza instead (which was average). 15 minutes after we finished eating, our waiter returned and took our plates. No offer to see a dessert menu, even though it was a bakery known for its pastries. My boyfriend had to ask for one. I ordered the puff pastry with mixed berries (€8,5) and that is worth 2 stars of this review. It was amazing and plated beautifully. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're just ordering dessert or some drinks at the bar. Food - 6/10 Service - 6/10 Value of meal - 6/10

    Nice looking place, but Portions are small and tasteless. Side order of potatoes had the texture of old sponges, with no taste
    Barry S.

    Great location. Nice tables. Menu looks good. Butt (|), The food quality and prep are way below Olive Garden! Potatoes tasted like old dry sponges.... Rabbit tasted very dry and without flavor!!!

    Carbonara Pasta. Probably the best one I had, since ever.
    Emmanuel L.

    We had the chance to eat on this restaurant on our last trip to Rome. We try to skip the tourist zone restaurants and walk the city. Once we get hungry, we found this gem. Price was about 40 Euros for my wife and I. With some great red wine included. I can't wait for our next visit to go back to this place. Their food have a special place on my heart.

    Ok food but desert was fab! Slow service... Be prepared to have food out at different times...

    Pam D.

    Super cute Restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. The entire wait staff is very friendly and accommodating even though their English is limited. They make US tourists feel comfortable. I recommend the apricot duck, pizzas, and indulge in one of their scrumptious desserts.

    Tasty pizza

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
