Okay, I don't write reviews. But in this case, I felt it was necessary for all you tourists in Roma. With so many wonderful places to chose from, this is definitely not the one. Our last night in Roma and we wanted to make it special - a true Italian event. In fairness, we were there at one of the busiest time, 9pm on a Friday night. We ordered our meal and a bottle of wine. They came with two glasses instead; more money for them???? By the time we caught the waiter's attention, we had decided to stick with one glass and go somewhere afterwards for after-dinner drinks. For my first course, I ordered pasta with parmesan cheese. There was so much cheese, I had to scrap it off the pasta. For our second course, I ordered Ossobucco. They served my husband's 2nd course, who then waited for about 10 minutes hoping mine would appear. It didn't. I finally caught the waiter's attention and he said they would bring it shortly. In the meantime, another group was arguing with the owner about being overcharged and they wouldn't pay. Not sure of the entire conversation but it was catching the attention of all the patrons and wait staff. Meanwhile - no Ossobucco. The group finally threatened to call the police. Finally, I caught the owner's attention and he said they were bring it up. After another ten minutes, I told the owner to cancel my order and bring the bill. My husband was already done and it just didn't make sense. So, beware La Torre! read more
