Came here just for drinks but ended up adding the tiramisu and American waffle--both were delicious! Tried the zodiac-themed drinks: Taurus, Scorpion, and Pisces (a mocktail). The Scorpion was my least favorite, only because it was a bit too strong for my taste. Service was decent, but the ambiance was perfect for enjoying drinks and hanging out. Overall, a fun and tasty experience. read more

Good coffee, good scrambled eggs and pancakes...and if you've been in Rome for any length of time you know finding good scrambled eggs is a big ask (they are usually scrambled to the point of powder). The price is fair as well - 8€ for eggs, sausage and pancakes. Service is fine. I've been there a lot so they have warmed up. The ambience is modernish American diner. The bathroom though - make sure you don't need to use it before you leave your house/hotel because it's not great. read more

It's a nice neighborhood across from beautiful river. It's located the inside of the nice cobblestone Street in The residential area. People very friendly and service was ok. Appetizer I order was falafel it was very delicious! I was so hungry forgot to take a picture but believe me it's good! Food was OK. Nothing special. I thought when I order couscous with chicken and vegetable would look more invited, but was OK ,little bit dry but I added olive oil, little magic salt and pepper and it added some flavor to taste better! Desert was tiramisu it was ok , not exactly what I try before, but overall it's a very cozy atmosphere not everyone speak English but we made it work !:) read more

We went for drinks. I really enjoyed the wanderlust! The service was pretty slow but isn't that just how Italians do business? It was no problem we just had to ask for the check. The atmosphere is very intimate and offers dim, warm lighting. read more

Very hipster burger joint in Moroni Alley in Rome. Burgers were delicious and service was great. Seating available outside and inside. Some tables are in the windows for parties of 2. Bar attached and take away orders can be made. Many mixed drinks and select beer options (not too many). They do make vodka martinis. I ordered a burger with egg and freshly made chips. Very good. This is a very popular place and may have wait times. read more

I feel sad. This place is promoting American style food and bar experience. Food is mediocre and the loud rock and roll just made me feel like the stereotype of what we used to be still resounds around the world. The American style breakfast was poor in contrast to all the other options available in this city, poor choice on our behalf. The fresh squeezed OJ was delicious but it was smaller than I would have gotten elsewhere. Our waitress was young, beautiful and reminded me of a classic Italian movie actress, whose name I have long forgotten. read more

Ate here 3 out of my 4 mornings in Rome. I felt so welcome and my server I believe her name was Valerie, was so wonderful. Pancakes were fluffy and tasty. Had eggs sunnyside, over medium and scrambled. All perfect. Coffee great too. Great breakfast deal of 12 euro with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage, toast, 2 pancakes and coffee. read more

Another Trastevere restaurant, literally across the river. It's one of the first places you see coming off of Ponte Sisto bridge. The restaurant is modern and clean looking. Dim lighting gives a late night, pensive feel. The whole theme is mechanical with gears and auto decor. To start, we got the selezione di salumi. Simple and tasty, but I would have liked more bread. Then we got the spaghetto cacio e Pepe. The pasta was great and the sauce was different than any pasta we got previously. It was similar to an American alfredo sauce. We also got the classic hamburger because I was maxed out on pasta. The burger was cooked well and was served with chips. Service was fair and you pay at the front when you're done. The Italian man at the register talked with his and said that he had been in Chicago ten years ago, so we chatted. Not sure how the place would feel in the day light, but nighttime food and drink was fitting! read more

I spent over a week in Rome with my boyfriend. As much as I love Italian food, I need a good comfort American food. The burger was delicious as well as the fries! There's plenty of selection in terms of beer and wine. Great escape if you need a little comfort food. read more

Awesome spot. Came upon this Monday evening. Vibrant crowd ranging in age, gender & ethnicity. Vibrant scene with live band. It's 10 pm Monday night. What more can you ask for in beautiful Roma? Grab a drink. Sit down & enjoy the atmosphere! read more

Excellent breakfast menu if you're looking for a mix between Italian and North American

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. If it gets crowded the services can get pretty slow but this is the place for no rush. It is good for pretty much all occasions - coffee, drink, dinner or just a quick refreshment. read more

Your motorcycle is bitchin, and quite honestly, was what got me in the door. We got a cappuccino and an espresso con panna, which tasted like desert. Note to foreigners, you order at the register to the right of the door, and bring your receipt over to the barista at the bar opposite. read more

Cute little eatery and bar. Stopped for a couple of beers and strolled around the piazza. Targeted towards american tourists... country music and burgers . We came here to get away from that crap! Good beer though and great location. read more

I came here for breakfast and if you're looking for something outside of a pastry for breakfast, this is the place to come. The waitress was very friendly and they have menus in English. It's priced very reasonable and the food is good. I ordered an American breakfast with sausage, French toast, and eggs. It also came with a glass of OJ.. all for $7.50. Not to bad! Ask for maple syrup because the French toast is just bread. read more

My mom and I went for a late lunch. We were getting sick of the food around all of the tourist locations, so we ventured to Trastevere. We ordered the cheese omelette, Mixed Grain salad and the chicken cous cous. Everything was delicious and the presentation was fabulous. Every meal exiting the kitchen looked delicious. We ended our meal with a cappuccino which was strong but yummy. The waitress was so sweet. I ended up tipping her because I loved how attentive and kind she was even though she was the only server in the whole restaurant (inside and outside dining). I cant praise this place enough. Also, it is known to have incredible burgers, which we will be back for. 10/10. read more

This is the type of place that has a cool modern interior, excellent location etc but no character both with the service and with the establishment. Upon arriving you can't help but wander in to grab either an espresso or wine. We went up to order 2 cappacinos at the bar stand up service. We say buongiorno and are greeted with an instant "pay first - you have to pay first over there". We did as such and ordered 2 proseccos as well and were also greeted with nothing but frowns and frustrated faces. To sum it up this has the feel of an angry hipster vibe where you leave service and smiles at home and bring your best emo face and bad attitude. read more

Breakfast was really good and coffee awesome... we took pictures so we could send to our favorite barista in our home town.... service was a bit ordinary - we felt like the girl wished we did not walk in... this is why we gave it a 4 star and not 5... read more

Solid American style breakfast/brunch spot. We got the American breakfast (plate of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, French toast, and pancakes) and the uova al tegame bacon (2 eggs sunny side up, white toast, bacon) with OJ and great coffees for about €20 total. Trastevere is pretty dead in the mornings so we got seated right away. Server was very kind and spoke fluent English. Would recommend! read more

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and reasonable prices. We came here twice today, first for drinks and then for lunch, the classic burger which was just under a half pound so my wife and I split it. They were kind enough to cut it in half for us without being asked. The IPA and wine were good. Note the fries were like thick chips, very good but different to what we are used to. We would recommend this place. read more

Stumbled into this place after dinner. Only had cocktails so didn't go into the rest of the place to see what it was all about but for what I saw and experienced it was great. Service was a little meh, maybe because they don't work for tips, but the cocktails are undeniable. Finally a bar that experiments with craft cocktails and they nailed it. Our group ordered 5ish cocktails off their menu and they were all done so well. Good place for people who enjoy good drinks read more

After a few weeks in Europe, it was nice to stumble upon a restaurant with American breakfast food and hamburgers. Sadly, the full menu was not available all day so no pancakes were to be eaten this time. I ordered a classic hamburger (quite good) with potato chips (freshly made and hot). The service was decent and the waiter spoke pretty good English. Overall appears like a place more dedicated to its drink menu than food. Lots of options for beer, wine, cocktails, sodas, etc. Very modern and hipster without feeling pretentious. Prices were average, no cover charge! read more

This is my fiancée and I favorite chill spot in Rome ! We stumbled upon it 8 months ago while in Rome and we had such a great time we decided to go back on this last visit . It's in the very charming Trestevere neighborhood which contains many many great restaurants and bars . A place in Rome where there are lots of locals chillin right on steps outside being social . You can walk up to bar and then sit outside and people watch read more

I came here for breakfast when visiting a friend in Rome for the weekend. If I could leave 0 stars I would. The service was absolutely terrible. Our waiter took our order rather quickly and never checked on us again. Didn't see our waiter again until we had to complain about an order being completely incorrect. The food. Our table ordered 3 simple breakfast dishes with eggs toast and sausage. I wish I had taken a picture because it was absolutely appalling. Our eggs were runny and not even recognizable as eggs honestly. I really don't even know how they could mess them up that bad. We were only given one sausage and it was like a tiny, crusty little strip- honestly looked like leftovers. The toast-seemed like they put it in an oven for 1 minutes and thought that was alright. Overall, very rude service. They don't seem to care about their customers at all and definitely don't care about the food they are giving to patrons. I would absolutely never recommend anyone to ever go near here. Please keep walking and do not be led on by the American breakfast sign. read more

Pretty good spot for a drink in a nice, albeit trendy, atmosphere. There was a decent drink list, good service and central location. They have a lot of American food here and since we were visiting from the US we decided to skip the meal and just have drinks to hold out for Italians fare. But if you're in Rome and happen to be craving a burger and fries, everything coming out of the kitchen did look alright. We had manhattan cocktails, which were definitely nothing special, not particularly well made, just okay. I wouldn't necessarily go back here or go out of my way to visit again. read more

Good aperol spritz, tea and snacks. Lots of room either outside or in. A bit short-staffed. Great location to hang out or meet friends.

Having a family brunch at Meccanismo. Nice place but just ok food, nothing special. Burger ok, omelette so so, pancake so so.

I stopped here to relax and have a beer, and I came to find a place that has iced coffee, which has been hard to come across in Rome. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, great atmosphere, and air conditioning. read more

The waiter made it very clear he didn't want to serve Americans. He was rude. Ignored us. And spoke with other waiters and laughed at us. After eating in Italy fore three weeks this was NOT the norm. But enough reasons to stop at drinks and leave to find a better place. read more

More of a 3.5 Star review. We came here for an American Breakfast and it is quite good however, the portions are small but reasonably priced for Rome. The "Full American Breakfast" sounds like too much food but is not. The reason I am not giving 5 stars is because we came here New Years Morning and our reception was quite rude. The sign said 7am and we showed up at 8:45 but they told us 9 then when we arrived at 9:03 the guy would not let us in. Then a couple of minutes later, he opened up the door then put a chair in the doorway, pretty rude. read more

Went for Sunday lunch. Not very busy but still need more than 2 servers working, as my entire order was incorrect and took a while to get it corrected. Got charged for extra items I didn't order, but didn't want to wait around again for it to be fixed so I paid it and left. Once I got the correct food it was very good. read more
