But to our surprise after climbing roughly five flights of stairs to the top of the building where this place is situated, it turned out to be just short of an oasis! They had pasta dishes, as well as pastries and nice sandwiches on display behind the glass counters. Everything looked cool, fresh and inviting in the sunny and hot afternoon glare of day when my girlfriend and I were there. They also served juices, wine, beer and liquor for those who cater to such. Fairly friendly service which was above all efficient and streamlined. This seems to be a well frequented cafeteria, so fast service is appreciated. Plenty of shade to find under the numourus parasols pitched above the tables of the dining area. It all made for a welcomed break from the hot outdoor afternoon July sun.

We spent our last day in Rome resting our feet and enjoying everything available to eat & drink at the Mercato Centrale! We had cappuccinos to start our day, then hung out and had Aperol Spritzes, Hugo Spritzes (elderflower, prosecco, mint, lime), Artichoke trapizzino, a vegan burger, gnocchi, and Maritozzo with hazelnut Gelato throughout the afternoon. My partner was not feeling well so it was a chill place to rest all day and try a lot of different food and drink without walking far. Staff were very accommodating and didn't mind that we were camped out at the same table most of the day reading, eating, and drinking.

While I ordered two meals, my order of water was scoffed at. Upon attempting to later order gelato, the three servers looked at me and then each other, said something, looked back at me and laughed. I cannot say whether the freezer burned-looking gelato was good or not because I promptly walked away. Not the right attitude for customer service, and certainly not worth your time unless absolutely necessary.
