Eating pizzas, pasta, dolci and drinking italian wine is great, there's no denying that. But once in a while, even when in the very centre of the Italian food empire, you just feel like something different! Smoke Ring is a new trendy american styled dinner with rustic interior and food court-ish styling. They play great american rock (Bruce Springsteen 'the Boss' is all over the place) and serve authentic pork and chicken BBQ with sides of coleslaw, baked beans and/or different sides of potato. You can get yourself a great local beer or the imported stuff, it's up to you to find your favorite amongst a decent selection. Give 'when in Rome' a nuance, try this

All-in-all, this place is different but pretty good! Prices were also good - they basically charge by the rib or piece of chicken. What we ordered: Ribs, chicken thighs, wings and BBQ beans. Verdict: The Ribs were absolutely the best. HUGE and well smoked. They don't really need BBQ sauce, but it makes a good addition. The BBQ sauce is light and different but surprisingly tasty. The chicken was pretty decent. If you want chicken, it'll do the job just fine, but I'd focus on the ribs. The beans were very different, but also pretty good. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in Rome again.

I wish we lived in Rome so we can eat here every day , damn! And to top it off, the service was prompt and welcoming.

Jammed packed with reservations, I scored the last table. Just went I thought my trip to Italy could not get any better, I stumbled upon this place. A very contemporary take on food with a wide selection of spirits and fresh brews from Italy and other European countries. We had a wide range of plates. A tartar, salad, pasta with Ragu sauce, deer with chimichurri sauce, wine, raspberry beer, cheesecake, tiramisu and a few dessert spirits. All the food and desserts were made in house with fresh and quality ingredients. They don't serve beef or chicken. The menu is constantly changing, tomorrow will be a new surprise. I can't find the plethora of adjectives to describe the quality of our dinning experience. The service was excellent, the different ingredients and textures totally complemented each other, the chat with the locals about music, etc. The staff was amazing, we can't wait to see them again tomorrow. Yes, we made reservations this time.

So, in a daring act of rebellion, we marched ourselves to Mammo, who has burgers, because sometimes you need a break from marinara and mozzarella and want to flirt with cholesterol in a different shape. He went full carnivore, ordering something with more meat than a Roman gladiator banquet. I, still blissfully meat-free, went for the Cacio e Pepe, because if I'm going to eat pasta in a burger place, I want it to feel ironic. Nestled right by the Tiber river where you can ponder life's big questions like is Uncle Tom technically cheating on Italian cuisine, or is he just evolving? Either way, 10/10. Would betray tradition again apparently.

I am not sure what the building was, must've been a theater of some sort. It looked like a pantheon and was nicely illuminated. We didn't actually have any food just gelato. The waitress who was taking care of the tables outside pointed to a specific table where we could sit it to have the ice cream. I felt like she was doing me a favor by allowing me to sit there, She kept coming over to ask us if we needed anything. I had an ice cream and no menu, it was obvious I didn't need anything. I know it was her being rude because I saw her doing the same to another couple who was enjoying ice cream as well. They were not busy, soso it's not like we were hogging up the tables. I didn't appreciate her attitude.

It wasn't expensive and it was in a great location (right across from our hotel). We were waited on fairly quickly. There were quite a few options to choose from. I ended up getting the chicken and chips/fries. It was rotisserie chicken with great seasoning and the fry chips were good too. It came with a little sauce too that was tasty. My friend got a huge steak and fry chips too. She ate every bit of it. The waiter was really nice, he checked on us in between cleaning up and taking orders at the counter. This place isn't what you would typically think to eat while in Rome but it was good for us to break up the food week with something a little different (borderline fast foodish). I would go back to a Johnny Gallo.
