We had the coconut salad: arugula, carrots, shaved coconut, canned pineapple, and hearts of palm. Not the best salad I've had, but a refreshing mix of fruit and vegetables that I haven't had before and that works surprisingly well together. They're very generous with bread. We ordered takeaway, which I understand is a weird thing to do, but they were accommodating (though the lid on our salad wasn't placed properly and half of the food spilled out into the bag, but we didn't mind the mess too much). read more

This year we went twice because it's hard to find in Rome good food, but we glad we did find it last year and will keep coming back! Owner and staff are so helpful and friendly, always give free fruits or watermelon and limoncello my favorite are still calamari and carbonara pasta . But everything they have is fresh. Very lovely breeze even at lunch time. read more

Fun vibe- fun-loving owner that likes to tease- a little piece of the United States in Europe.

Has the best penne all'arrabbiata I've ever had! I'm going to miss this place. The service is pretty good and it's cheap.

Don't get the pizza here. I ordered the Diablo's. There was barely any Marinara/tomato and it wasn't spicy. I don't think it was supposed to be a Bianca/white pizza. It did have a crunchy crust, but seemed more like melted cheese/mozzarella with some salami on a crispy crusty. Even with the "spicy" salami, it lacked any flavor. They were nice in giving all patrons each a slice of watermelon, which is great on a hot day. read more

We were looking for a different place, and is common in Rome, we couldn't find it. We found Miscellanea instead. A happy occurrence. The one word I would use to describe this place is eclectic. The sub title on the menu is 'International Student's Pub'. Other than fellow life long learners, I didn't see many students. There are pictures of Barack Obama as well as Donald Trump, and even Dick Chaney. They seem to be welcoming to all. The decor includes sports memorabilia and framed bar towels advertising various beers. The staff was friendly and engaging. The food was the Italian version of what you would expect to find in an American sports bar. Not top shelf, but fun and filling. The alcohol was generously poured. If you're a person overly concerned with hygiene, this place may not be for you. Not filthy, but reminiscent of a college dorm. read more

Close proximity lured us in and the great food and sense of humor kept us coming back. The place has a Italian home cooked meal feel with a family atmosphere. Michelangelo and his family have this quiet little slice of heaven near the Pantheon. The lasagna, spicy penne and Fragolini vino (or Sexy wine), are just a couple of the food and drink choices. We ate here 3x while in Rome for 4 days, I would go back for a 4th time if I were still there. Alas, our trip has come to an end. Whenever I come back to visit Rome you can bet I will be visiting Miscellanea as many times as possible. Thank you for an unbelievable good time while on Holiday in your beautiful historic city. Grazi and Ciao! read more

Our Rick Steve's tour guide recommended this restaurant for lunch. I had the best spaghetti carbonara in Rome here. The hospitality is unbeatable and the owner is hilarious. Great house wine and food. We'll be back next time we are in Italy. read more

We were so happy we went here! After a long day of walking around, this was the perfect thing we needed. The atmosphere was like a family restaurant and our server was super friendly and helpful. The portions were pretty big for the price, unlike some of the other places I've had in Italy. And of course, the food was delicious. The lemon chicken was SO good read more

First time in rome and enjoyed my experience at Miscellanea. Great service along with good prices and nice servings. The owner was very hospitable and gave me and my friends a good time. Only took cash though! read more

Hit and miss lunch at Miscellanea. First of all, great location behind the Pantheon and close to Piazza Navona. It's touristy but there were a lot of local businessmen eating here as well. We started off sharing an artichoke and cheese toast. Awesome crispy and flavorful goodness! I could have ate about two or three more of these and called it a day. In fact, this would have been great with a salad. For the main event I ordered a seafood linguine. Eh... could have been a lot better. While they didn't scrimp on the seafood component, they did scrimp on the flavor. Pretty blah. The service was fairly slow as the restaurant was pretty busy but at the end of our meal our waiter brought us a huge complimentary plate of watermelon and a couple of glasses of their specialty "strawberry" wine. The wine wasn't as sweet as anticipated and actually pretty good. Apparently these were compliments of us having our Rick Steve's guidebook on hand (Miscellanea is featured in the book). So while I would not order the seafood pasta, try a glass of the strawberry wine and one of their toasts. read more

Our tour guide recommended this amazing restaurant, after a 17 day tour of Italy ended in Rome. This is the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Four of us ate here three nights in a row and every dish was fantastic. You cannot beat the food or the prices. Mikki, the owner, is a truly gracious man, with a wonderful staff and incredible food. Thank you Mikki for making us feel like family, you make your restaurant amazing and we will never forget your food or hospitality. You are the best!!! read more

Worst carbonara ever. The wine was just ok. I asked for regular water and got bubbles. Waiter wouldn't come back for me to tell him. And the wine was subpar at best. read more

We were all starving and the restaurants we wanted to check out were all closed and we were tired of walking around and it looked like it had good reviews on Yelp. 4 stars? Really? First time Yelp mislead me this bad. It must the vacation effect that makes everything taste amazing.. The pizza tasted like it came from the frozen food aisle and the my carbonara looked and tasted like pasta with scrambled eggs. I can actually see pieces of scrambled egg in the sauce! It doesn't really help them either that I just ate some perfectly cooked and delicious carbonara the night before. I would definitely not recommend this place especially when there are a ton of other options around with better food for the same price or a little more. Service was pretty friendly though and they give you a complimentary slice of watermelon after. read more

Branco was such an awesome and helpful server! Not to mention the food, wow, I had the penne arrabiata, it was soooooo good!!! I highly recommend the bruschetta as a starter and also the house wine (red) was amazing. Such a comfy and gem close by the pantheon, love it! Thank you Branco! read more

I had the cheese pizza and it was delish! A huge pizza for only €6. Not too long of a wait either. And they give you a free slice of watermelon at the end. Cheers! read more

Great place for good/great, inexpensive, and filling food right by the pantheon. I read about this place in Rick Steve's Italy book and after we got caught in a rainstorm we ducked inside. It was great. Cozy atmosphere, large portions, good food. No it's not the finest cuisine, but for tourists near the pantheon it's 1000% better than the tourist traps Nearby. read more

I happened upon this fun place whrre all the locals go. The only disappointment was the risotto. Evidently they are too busy to stir in the parmesan cheese because this huge bowl arrived for me to do it myself. Seafood pasta and tomato with rocket and buffalo mozzarella salad. They bring u a flass of sexy wine and big bowl of fruit gratis. You can't help but talk to the person sitting beside you because they pack the tables so tight. But thats what I came to Rome for...the people!! read more

Great spot for pizza right behind the Pantheon. Outside (and inside) tables, good variety of beers, shade all afternoon, and excellent pizza. They advertise pizza on their doorway and that's what just about everyone has. For good reason. Perfect Italian pizza. With the backside of the Pantheon as your view and lots of foot traffic going past. read more

We stopped here after seeing the Pantheon as a recommendation from a friend who knows the owner. We were going to sit inside but when he saw us at a table, he moved a table from inside to the outside for us. A REALLY nice touch! We ordered a couple of liter beers and a large water as we were really thirsty. We shared a brushetta and a pizza that were really good. The owner sent out desserts that were like tiramisu in a martini glass that blew our minds! A finishing after dinner drink also came and we loved it! This place is very popular so when you get there, plan to stay! You will not be sorry! read more

Five nights in Rome and this was the worst meal we had. Poor service and the best thing about the food was the quantity (big portions). Would not recommend this place considering all the other great options in this city! They are also the only place we've been that refused to take credit cards. read more

Cheap wine, fast service, great location. Food is absolutely amazing!!! Seemed kid-friendly and had a large menu to choose from. The only weird part was they didn't bring our bill, only told us an amount... It was affordable and delicious but that seemed odd. read more

Great staff, great food! Wife had spaghetti pomodoro and me gnochi al pesto. They threw in free desert and drinks!!! All for super cheap!!! One thing to note is the only card they accept is Amex!!!!! Important to know! read more

I had a nice experience here. It's right by the pantheon and not far from the trevi fountain which is convenient. Can tell it is a touristy/study abroad haven. The caprese salad was average at best, the mozzarella tasted like it had been frozen. The pesto gnocchi was really good though and the house wine was nice and not too expensive at all. They gave us small free glasses of sweet wine at the end too. read more

This pub was recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint! We came for lunch and tried the mixed bruschetta - simple and delicious. Also had spaghetti carbonara, which was outstanding. We came back after dinner to enjoy the evening. The owner was so friendly. He sent out chips, "sexy wine" and we had some pizza. When it was time to go, he offered us a ride home! What an experience! read more

Walking around the Pantheon...had rolled my ankle 3-4 times in the cobble stone roads and needed to fid a place to stop and eat. Stumbled into this place (literally, see comment about the ankle). Got the lasagna. It was great and only $7. Workers were very nice and even brought out watermelon for us for free at the end of the meal. read more

We stumbled on this place about a block and a half from the Pantheon. It neat, clean, and the menu looked good, So we decided to give it a chance. We're glad we did. Food was great. Staff was great. A variety of choices. We had a roasted vegetable plate and a cheese plate. The house red wine was very good. Very reasonably priced. It's the type of restaurant we've been looking for during our trip to Italy. read more

This place was pretty underwhelming. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I wasn't wowed by the food. If I was in the area, I'd go back but I probably wouldn't seek it out. read more

Ordered the Cappiccio Salad and the Miscellanea Pizza for my wife and I. The pizza - "meh". I dont actually remember seeing the bazaar ingredients (processed lunch meat ham, canned kernal corn and whole olives) on the menu but it was utterly lousy! The salad......never came. The waiter although joyfully talking to all his local buddies, never once asked if we wanted anything else. I had to flag him down to finally say we were ready to go. When I told him the pizza was no good, that he forgot the salad, and we would have ordred more drinks had he asked, he shrugged his shoulders and said "It happens". ZERO stars for this debacle! read more

Miscellanea is one of those places that you first are inclined to pass by, but if you are smart enough to make the decision to step inside, you are greatly rewarded! Located behind the Pantheon, the restaurant is among quite a bit of competition from other nearby "higher end" looking restaurants. However, is it just me, or does someone standing in front of a "high end" restaurant, trying to draw you in for your business, sort of turn you off? Seems to be a bit touristy to me. But I digress...Miscellanea doesn't do this, and for good reason. The steady stream of locals into Miscellanea should be reason enough to enter. Given the excellent prices posted on the menu outside, even more reason. The staff were very friendly, the food very good, and the ambience what I would expect from a local Roman casual restaurant. Nice beer on tap and fantastic pizza! Not your "over sauced" American style pizza but seriously good thin crust, fresh ingredient pizza! Prosciutto crude, pesto, artichokes...mmm, mmm good! Highly recommended! read more

Had lunch here before going to the Pantheon. Nice outdoor seating, service was good. Nice place for a big salad if you are getting tired of pasta. However, the pesto gnocchi and the sausage polenta were both good as well. read more

If you're looking for a casual place to dine in (or take out), this place is awesome! The servers aren't how i would describe as overly friendly, not rude by any means, but to the point with a smile . The atmosphere is fun for such a small place, the music they were playing was old school R&B one evening and current hits the next night. Their alcohol drinks are basic but very good, the food was great! Comparatively speaking, we ate at another highly rated pizzeria called La Sagrestia, it was not even close to as good as this place. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Excellent customer service and delicious food! Servings were huge and came with lots of extras. Well-priced for the budget conscious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend! read more

Wished we had working wifi and yelped this ahead of time. It is a great location and the prices are fine - the two top reasons we picked it. But, unfortunately, it paled in comparison to every other meal we've had in Rome. Everything was just okay. It reminded me of a chain restaurant. The two best things were our server, who took excellent care of us, and the house white wine. Skip this restaurant. There are way too many good ones to choose. read more

Came here as a recommendation from a friend, and was NOT disappointed. It's right near the Pantheon, so initially I thought maybe it would be a tourist "trap" with overpriced, boring food, but I was quickly proven wrong. Yes, there are lots of tourists there, but the food was supreme. We got a Margherita Pizza and Pasta Bolognese, both of which were some of the best we had during our whole 2 week Italy trip. The service was great, and the servers stand at the door waiting to help you. The pizza was seriously the stuff you dream of when you think Italian pizza. I wasn't even very hungry but found myself eating the entire pizza. The spaghetti bolognese was delicious! Great portion sizes too. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I went here a few times during my study abroad in rome. Right behind the pantheon. If you go with a group, you get a 4 course-ish (antipasta, two pastas, pizza, and dessert, with unlimited wine) deal for under 20 euro. Very nice staff, and relatively quick service. I recommend sitting outside. read more

Good value for pretty decent food - at least at lunch. One pizza can satisfy two hungry American tourists. The salads and spaghetti with clams plates we saw going by us as we waited for our meal looked good too. Again, the quality of the food is decent and the prices are really cheap which left me with a great impression. Two pizzas and a large bottle of water was 17€. One pizza would have been fine. read more

Really good, affordable food. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere next to the Pantheon and shops. Very hard to say anything negative about the place or the staff. This was one of the first places we ate at in Rome, and it set the standard. Free WiFi is also a bonus. read more

If you're looking for a up-beat atmosphere with your meal, this is the place! Our group of 6 was very well taken care of. Food was AMAZING, service was great & they even gave us watermelon & sexy wine on the house! This place is a MUST read more
