This time we nearly had it every day, and for 8€ a bowl you can't blame me. Must try is the pappardelle ragu, portions are enough to share for two. And be sure to eat it on the stoop of the restaurant for the full experience! Expect your hot and fresh pasta ready in 3-5 mins on a busy day.

We chose this spot because it had a lot of reviews and maintained a good score. Perks of this spot…read moreare that it's affordable with each pasta bowl costing about €7.50 and the bowls are fairly large. Even though the line is long, you can get your meal quickly because the team works very fast and efficiently. The spot has limited seating so most people eat outside, either standing up or sitting on the curb. Menu is limited to 6 options and everything is handmade, so you can't go wrong here. The noodles have a nice, thick, chewy texture and come with plenty of sauce. Only downside for me was that most dishes didn't come with meat and I usually like to have a little with each meal.

The spot was right by the Vatican so it's super convenient if you're nearby. Me and my partner…read moreopted to sit down and enjoy our sandwiches, but we felt constantly rushed, even though it was low season and there were plenty of tables open. As soon as we sat down, the waitress asked us what we wanted and she came back three times in the span of five minutes so I definitely wish I had more time to breathe and look at the really large menu. I got the vegan sandwich and it actually blew my mind that it was vegan. The cuts of meat were so realistic and the vegan Parm also tasted so close to the original. Altogether, if you had just gave me the sandwich and I was eating it I wouldn't have even questioned that it was vegan. The sandwiches here are so delicious, I would definitely come back.

This particular McDonald's was just west of the Ottaviano Metro station. I used a kiosk and ordered a cappuccino for 1,30€. Apparently for Italians, it was very strange to be drinking one after 11 am. I'm sure with this touristy location, the employees were used to such odd behavior. I just needed something pre-dinner to help keep me awake! They had a few tables outside. Since the weather was nice, I opted for a seat outside.

Imagine my confusion when the employee picked up 2 of each. When she went to ring me up, I reiterated I only asked for 2 slices of marinara and 1 potato and rosemary. She had a terrible attitude and said I asked for 2 slices of each. I said no, I didn't. She began to argue with me saying I'm paying for the 4 slices. I said no, I will not. You're not going to tell me what I'll be paying for. Another employee came over to diffuse the situation. Shout out to her. If it weren't for the blistering heat and my empty stomach, I would've walked out not caring about the 30 minutes I waited in line. Needless to say, I paid for the 3 slices combo, 8 euros

Turns out the reviews…read morewere right - this was a great spot to pick up an early dinner and mix it up from the pasta we'd been enjoying the past several days. We also love a good noodle box - and being able to build our own was fun. My husband and I split a box, we did udon noodles, a dark soy and ginger sauce, and picked a few veggies to add (in addition to the cabbage and egg it comes with). It was awesome to see them cook it right in front of us. The space is small and definitely tucked in amongst the bigger restaurants in the square. However, as the name alludes, it's a good on-the-go meal. It satisfied our need for a dinner on the go to be able to watch the sunset later in the evening!

First you walk through a hallway of Roman statues and plaques, which take you into a spacious dining hall. They have a full bakery section and plenty of seating. I got to try a few Italy speciality items like the Spinach & Parmigiano Croquettes (3 for €2.69) and Tiramisu (€2.90). When in Europe, you can always order a beer at McDonald's too, which is a treat for adults.

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.

We had just left the Vatican and went to look for food. We saw this place with outside seating and asked the worker inside if we could get a table. We wanted to sit outside but he said can you come inside instead? Sure we have a hungry toddler and are hungry ourselves so I guess as Long as we get food. We were sat in the back wall with no one around us and noticed a couple of mosquitoes nearby. We shooed them away and as we were waiting for menus the guy who say us never came. Five minutes later, he gives us the menu and leaves. Once again another 5 minutes goes by and nothing. I was ready to leave and even sent my oldest daughter to look for another restaurant but another worker showed up and took our order. Thankfully the food did not take long and we ate as fast as we could before being bitten anymore by mosquitoes. The food was ok the bufalina I ordered was very salty in the middle and the crust was super thin but my daughter and husband liked their plates. The waiter never came to check on us and we were the ones who had to get him to pay the tab. Overall, expect ok food but now so good and fast service.
