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.

This is a review based on getting my pasta to go…read more This was my first meal when I landed in Rome, so my travel group was hungry and very excited for our first Italian/Roman meal. Therefore, we ordered one of everything Hey, why not? Right?! It was definitely fresh pasta because you see them making the pasta from flour to all the different types of pasta shapes. And fresh pasta tends to stick together when cooled down. Here is the ranking of how I liked their pastas. They were all good but this is based on my flavor preference and how good everything was after bringing it back to the Airbnb. 6. Strozzapreti al pesto 5. Spaghetti Cacio e pepe 4. Fusilli al pomodoro 3. Strozzapreti al tartufo 2. Pappardelle al Ragu 1. Spaghetti alla Carbonara I think my ranking might have changed drastically if I ate everything on the spot. As you can tell by now, my recommendation is to eat it there as soon as you get your order. ¨ It was really good for being "take-out" style. Def worth stopping by for guaranteed yummy fresh pasta. So, if you have stomach space and are contemplating, yes, go! Worth the virality and hype. But I wouldn't suggest eating here every day. You're in Rome, explore! Try to find another yummy spot! ¨ Things to know: -Like most of Rome, they accept cards. -When you order, if are you getting it go, let them know so that they can pack it for you. -After you order, they give you a pager so you know when your order is ready. -If you order to go (I would suggest not if you can eat it there fresh) and if you have a bit of a walk, I would not suggest holding the bag by the handle cuz the steam of the food made our bags rip slowly. I'm glad we realized this because we would've been sad if all our pasta landed on the floor. And the covers do get warped by the steam, so everything shifts around. So, don't be like me - swinging the bag happily. Be more mindful. -Wait time can vary. Mine wasn't too bad cuz there weren't a lot of people. -The only problem with eating there is that there is no seating. So, I wouldn't have been able to get every single pasta dish to try. Pros and cons of eating it fresh and hot vs eating comfortably in AC.

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.

They have a pretty large bakery/cafe part at the front before you get to the kiosks for the regular McDonad's items you'd expect to see. They have their own variations in Roma which was cool to see. The food hits the spot and their coffee tastes better than the kind you'd get back in the states. It IS busy though so keep that in mind. Pretty loud inside too given the number of customers there.

I especially enjoyed the vegetable pizzas with burrata, which were so creamy. Seating is limited to the steps in front of the store where they leave straw cushions out for you to sit on.

Stopped here after attending mass at St Peter's after seeing a recommendation on Reddit. I asked…read morefor 2 slices of the marinara pizza & 1 of the potato rosemary. 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

Happened across this little spot via maps and saw several glowing reviews! 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. The best of all, I was able to score the viral beach towel from here while it's been sold out everywhere else!

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!

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.
