    Not sure we're all posting about the same restaurant, but I'm reviewing the caffe on Via Flaminia, just outside the arch on the north side of the Piazza de Popolo. We tried this place because the staff at the front desk of our hotel recommended it, and said they serve 'real Italian food.' She said that they go here on their breaks. (We did see them getting take out here.) Ended up having dinner here twice during our three nights in Rome. The ONLY reason I give it 4 stars rather than 5 is that the sidewalk tables are right in front of the light rail stop, so the train arrives and leaves about every five minutes. It's not really that bothersome, though, once the food arrives. Our waiter, Marian, is from Romania and working here as a summer job. Great service, funny, not afraid to offer an opinion or a recommendation. Over the two dinners, we enjoyed several appetizers (bruschetta, fried zucchini flowers), pizzas (Napoli, prosciutto, margharita), pasta (linguine alla vongole), and desserts (tiramisu, panna cotta, limoncello cake, chocolate cake). Everything was consistently of high quality and servings were generous. We shared a bottle of wine with each dinner - each bottle was 15 euros or less and outstanding. Highly recommended - good value, location, service.

    Tourist trap - they lead all tourists upstairs, service was awful and food was nasty. How can they go wrong with pizza with prosciutto? Go elsewhere where food will taste far more better with similar prices.

    spaghetti like pasta with tomato sauce, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and a basil leaf.

    Trieste - Chianti, Greek salad, and a small burrata-truffle-prosciutto pizza

    Passed this spot on the way back to the hotel and thought I need to try and returned to find a…read moresmaller almost "hole in the wall" space with an extensive variety of specialty pie options and some fun signs posted-ie "If you ask me for ketchup and mayonnaise I'll call the police!!." They have a small pizza and a bigger size which I would say is about 10 inches. The small size was sold out on my first visit and found out better to arrive earlier (before 6) for these. The Mini pies are good if you want to try a few varieties-so many so little time. Ordered the big Amatriciana (the unloved pasta dish of the big Roman four as a pizza) which was recommended-Pecorino, mozzarella with the Pork cheeks taking it over the top-one of their most popular and rightfully so! On the second visit , they had the small size pies-Friarielli & Salsiccia-Broccoli Rave and sausage-tasty, Fegato & Cipolla-pork liver sausage with onions and peppers made for a "not everyday" and delicious pie. Both visits service was excellent and engaged. This place screams independent and one of a kind but it turns out they are a regional chain with a handful of locations. Amazing pizza with so many options!

Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot.

    **Ce Stamo a Pensà -- Rome **…read more After a long flight and arriving in Rome late at night, we decided to stretch our legs and walk around--and somehow stumbled upon this little gem. There were no tables available when we arrived, but we figured the wait might be worth it. **It absolutely was.** While we waited, they offered us some wine and a little bite--almost like a small pastry filled with cheese and tomato--which was such a thoughtful touch and made the wait feel effortless. Once seated, we ordered more wine along with two Roman classics: **Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara.** The **Cacio e Pepe** was exactly what we hoped for: beautifully creamy, cheesy, and well balanced without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The pepper came through nicely, complementing the richness of the cheese rather than overpowering it. The **Carbonara** was equally impressive. The pasta had that wonderful fresh, silky texture, the sauce was rich and intensely cheesy, and the pancetta was perfectly crispy and salty. Every bite had the right balance of creamy, savory, and salty. Ambiance was quiet, chill and very welcomely.

    The food is pretty good. I'd stay away from the traditional sandwich and go for the pita pocket…read moretype sandwiches or the pasta dishes. Also the fried pizza is pretty good. The service is very good and friendly. Now the warning. There is usually a line. There are only enough tables for 15 people and calling them tables is a stretch. As you walk along a thin hallway towards the restroom there are 3 tables for 2. At the entrance there are two counters that have 4 seats on one side and 5 on the other. You also need to have an ass that fits on a small stool. They play great American and British Rock and have semi passable AC.
