We split a salad that was big enough for a meal, my wife had the bolognese, and I had the steak. It was super rare, but as I cut into it, I would lay it onto the stone to allow it to cook a bit more. I like it on the lean side of medium rare and my wife prefers a bit more. This was perfect for us to both enjoy it the way we like. Her pasta was excellent as well and we enjoyed sharing the meal. A bottle of wine topped off a great dinner. The weather was rainy so we opted to sit inside and it was warm and welcoming. Our waiter was helpful with our choices and we enjoyed his observations. The only thing I can say that was off, was the older woman who was paying her bill before me was pressured into leaving a tip ( service charge, is what he said). I was prepared for that but was not asked to tip. Great meal, we enjoyed it immensely, but the service charge that was scammed out of the 70+ year old lady in front of me kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. I was going to tip a few euros because we enjoyed ourselves so much, but decided not to because of the way it was presented to the party before us.

We had a calzone and traditional spaghetti and both were delicious. I don't even know how to describe the calzone. It was unlike anything I've had before but SO good. I literally cleaned my plate with the last of the breading from it. The owner/chef was Luca. He was upset with the host because he had burned the plastic on the outdoor tent as he had placed a heater too close to it. To be honest, he seemed like a bit of a jerk, but his food was freaking delicious.

I just pointed to the slices I wanted, they were quickly warmed up, and the prices were very reasonable. We walked to the nearby fountain to eat them outside and had a nice first evening in Rome thanks to Yelp bringing us to this place and the wonderful people who run it. It's not really an indoor eating establishment, there are a few tables, but it's more of a quick-stop grab and go sort of place with excellent pies. Recommended!

Crust was light/airy and made for the perfect balance between crust and toppings. Beer and soft drinks were also available. Service was quick and friendly.

We had made reservations earlier in the day for the same night, but it didn't seem too busy either way. We looked at the menu via QR code scanning before the waiter came to take our orders. We ordered a focaccia to share. I got the carbonara and my partner got a truffle cream based pasta that I can't remember the name of. All items were vegan. As a non-vegan, I was very impressed by all the dishes! The sauce for the carbonara mimicked the creaminess and cheesiness. I wasn't the biggest fan of the "bacon" / "guanciale" - it was a bit too squishy and needed to be crisped up a bit more but that's a personal preference.

Of course, don't sleep on their pastries and desserts either! Gatsby Cafe was definitely a great find! Thanks for your hospitality!

I don't think I've had that before, but it was part of the spicy burger so I thought I would like it. Other patties are made from other ingredients. It was a mouthful of mush, wasn't crazy about it. The fries were also disappointing. But, having said all that, I'm not a veggie so maybe this place is considered good for people that are... haha. Sick burn.

It's counter service, so you order at the front and then pick up your food with the buzzer. Note 10% student discount! And a small bathroom is available. I got the spicy burger, which was 8€. Ordering is confusing since they automatically assume you want the burger with fries/water, which is actual the "meal" version and costs about 12€. Ordering fries does not come with sauce, that is an additional 1€. The burger was extremely mediocre. This was my first vegan burger and I was very disappointed. Despite being "spicy", it was almost completely flavorless except for the spicy ketchup sauce they used. The chickpea had no seasoning and the only thing it contributed was some creaminess to the burger. The caramelized onions did not look like standard caramelized onions, and definitely did not taste that way. They are the purple things in the attached picture. It was completely indistinguishable in the burger.

We started with a really great Bruschette that was full of salami and drizzled with truffle honey. The Carbonara & Lasagne were great. The Porchetta was possibly the best meat I've eaten in all of Italy, you HAVE to get it if you come. Service was really great as well! Just be aware that you have to go down a pretty narrow staircase and that the tables are all close together.
