So yes I went to Macdonalds.... Twice really Once because I wanted to try the special chicken sandwich they had at the other place but this one I just wanted to see what was so special I've seen it so many times on videos and it's supposed to be fancy because it has actual Roman art like a statue and very old walls with art Yeah it's cool and clean and I got a pistachio McFlurry because I needed to use the bathroom lol which was tricky You scan your receipt but you gotta be patient and not force those doors in and out we got trapped and had to wait for the janitor to mess with the sliding doors The ice cream was okay it wasn't ohhh wow It's very large and you self order just like most European McDonalds They even have a front cafe at the entrance for just coffee and pastries And it's next to the Spanish steps practically

I was in town for the Rome Marathon. As a fan of international McDonald's where the quality of the food is almost always better than in the States, I just had to make a stop here at the first McDonald's location in Italy. Unfortunately, when I first came here on Friday, it was closed for a special event. Thankfully, they were open to the public when I returned the following day. If you had to go to only one McDonald's in Rome, you definitely need to come to this location! Just like any McDonald's in Rome, they're all very easy to find as they had signs throughout the city directing you to the closest one. This place is just south of the Spagna Metro station, very close to the Spanish Steps and embassy. The design of this location was very unique. It was very modern with a little bit of ancient Rome. Ordering was very easy while using one of the kiosks. It was very spacious with plenty of seating. The service was quick, the food was good, and the dining area was kept clean.

(Overall: B) - Great location positioning of this beloved classic, with free access to the bathroom, and a spacious two floor seating to relax in air conditioning before proceeding in a heavy walking day. I enjoyed that a pastry + espresso is only two euro, and tastes pretty good! The Italian McDonalds menu is not as impressive as the Asian ones for me, but much better than the American ones.

⁣⁣Hello to Rome's First McDonald's! This McDonald's was built 38 years ago. Like everything else in Rome; there's quite a history to this place as well. It was built in Italy amid protests via the Slow Food Movement group. A Italian journalist actually protested with bowls of penne pasta that they gave out to folks passing by and they had slogan, "We don't want fast food. We want slow food!" Here we are in 2024 and this McDonald's still stands. This definitely is not your typical McDonald's. Aside from a unique background; this spot is slightly an upgrade to to other McDonald's. There's marble walls, stairs and Italian statues. It is two stories and is said can hold 800 people inside! I am always intrigued by the different offerings McDonald has around the world and this one did not disappoint. They serve croissants and cappuccino. I tried their Pistachio Croissant and paired with Cappucino. Deliziosa! Price wise it was fairly cheap too and ran a croissant and cappuccino was under 4 euros. Location wise; this is near the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna. The location is very convenient. This is a great McDonald's with a interesting history, different atmosphere inside and with affordable croissants!

My first McDonald in Italy and loved the food, definitely tasted better than America. Spicy nuggets were great and very affordable. Pretty clean and also had a working bathroom.

This is the firs and oldest McDonald's in Rome/Italy. I had to stop by to see what all the fuss was. Well, the ambiance was very different than in the states. It is more upscale and designed completely different than the small location in the US. Very beautiful. The food choices were different. They had the typical burgers and fries, but also had chicken wings, gelato, and tons of sweets/pastries. Even a coffee bar section. It's been a while since I've had MDs in the states, but the taste seems slightly different with everything I tried. There is no real service as I am assuming with other locations. The place was nice and clean as well. There is quite a history to this place. It's a must visit if you're in the area.

Always have to try McDonald's in other countries. I believe this was the first McDonald's in Rome. It's really big with a coffee/pastry bar on the bottom level. Regular food order/pick up is upstairs. Probably one of the busiest McDonald's I've ever seen. They have items that the US doesn't. The sandwich and espresso were really good but the loaded fries were disappointing. The bacon they used has that "fake" flavor. I'm not sure how else to describe it. If you know, you know.

As an American, I think it's fun to go to McDonald's in other counties and compare what they have! I've only been to a few countries but Rome has had one of the best McDonald's so far! They have great McFlurrys (that don't have a broken ice cream machine) and their food tasted a lot fresher than the ones back home. Plus this location had a ton of seating and was just a couple blocks from the Spanish steps and all kinds of shopping areas that are fun to walk around and window shop. Overall this was a fun break from Italian food while we were visiting!

This is a very nice McDonald's I visited a few months ago in Rome, Italy. I think it is better than most McDonald's in California. The dining room is so beautiful, and the inside layout is almost like a good Italian restaurant. I enjoyed my burger, French fries, and Coke in there. I'm sure it tasted better because of the beautiful dining room. They have self-service kiosks there, but most customers still like to place orders from the cashiers. The restrooms are for customers. You have to purchase before you can use the restrooms.

This McDonald's is a mad house. At a low season, the amount of people was insane. First of all, if you are with a stroller or wheelchair, you cannot even get into this place. There is no ramp, only steps to get in. It will take you so long to get in, now they have also kiosks to order your food, with the amount of people in there, you may not get your food less than 30 mins. It is extremely filthy, do not even bother to use their bathrooms, no ventilation, no air circulation in there, so think what you might face with. Food is below average, only eat , if there is nothing around. The only place here i must say looked decent was their coffee shop and pastry section at the entrance.

Best McDonald's I've been too. The snack wrap isn't as good as the USA grilled chicken with bbq but at least it's in the menu. All food items prepared with care, not like in the USA where everything is just thrown together.

Decided to give McDonald's in Europe a second shot, as some people I know have raved about it. This one was much better than the one I tried in Paris for sure. First, it's probably the largest McDonald's I've ever been to. This sucker is huge! Multiple floors, multiple sections, and over a hundred customers. It's massive. Just like the one in Paris you can order from a machine and you pick it up at the counter. The age of man is over, the age of the machine has begun. The food is pretty much the same. The Big Mac tastes like the Big Mac. The chicken nuggets taste like chicken nuggets. They do have curly fries and chicken wings though! Overall, a pretty decent experience. Oh, and they serve beer. Italian beer at that!

Safe to say this McDonald's made the ones we have in the United States look like garbage.

Nicest McD's I've ever seen. And it delivered the goods for this guy who became a little food homesick after 3 weeks away.

Very large. Efficient and clean. I really liked the family-like seating arrangements, that resembled restaurants more so than fast food.

I'm honestly shocked--in the best way--at how good the Mexican food was at Pico's. We weren't…read moreexpecting to find authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine in the heart of Rome, but this place completely exceeded our expectations. From the first bite, everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. The flavors were spot-on--bold without being overpowering, and clearly made with quality ingredients. It was honestly probably the best food we had during our entire time in Rome, which is saying a lot considering how much incredible Italian food we tried. If you're craving something different while visiting Rome, or if you're a fan of great food in general, Pico's is 100% worth a visit. A hidden gem that delivers way more than you'd expect!

We wanted something other than pizza for a change in Rome. My wife and I decided Mexican food…read moresounded great. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Service was poor an extremely slow. We waited about 15 minutes for water and drinks. When I was finally tired of waiting on the food after 40 minutes I got up to pay and leave but it finally showed up. Food was okay but not good. Had I used the bathroom when I got there I would not have ordered at all. I think the worst bathroom I have ever been in at any restaurant. It made a port a potty look like a luxury spa.

**Ce Stamo a Pensà -- Rome **…read more After a long flight and arriving in Rome late at night, we decided to stretch our legs and walk around--and somehow stumbled upon this little gem. There were no tables available when we arrived, but we figured the wait might be worth it. **It absolutely was.** While we waited, they offered us some wine and a little bite--almost like a small pastry filled with cheese and tomato--which was such a thoughtful touch and made the wait feel effortless. Once seated, we ordered more wine along with two Roman classics: **Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara.** The **Cacio e Pepe** was exactly what we hoped for: beautifully creamy, cheesy, and well balanced without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The pepper came through nicely, complementing the richness of the cheese rather than overpowering it. The **Carbonara** was equally impressive. The pasta had that wonderful fresh, silky texture, the sauce was rich and intensely cheesy, and the pancetta was perfectly crispy and salty. Every bite had the right balance of creamy, savory, and salty. Ambiance was quiet, chill and very welcomely.

The food is pretty good. I'd stay away from the traditional sandwich and go for the pita pocket…read moretype sandwiches or the pasta dishes. Also the fried pizza is pretty good. The service is very good and friendly. Now the warning. There is usually a line. There are only enough tables for 15 people and calling them tables is a stretch. As you walk along a thin hallway towards the restroom there are 3 tables for 2. At the entrance there are two counters that have 4 seats on one side and 5 on the other. You also need to have an ass that fits on a small stool. They play great American and British Rock and have semi passable AC.
