Please read this entire review to understand the rating and why I urge you not to give your business here.
This place is conveniently located close to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, which made it appealing to myself and my family in between museums.
Waiter was friendly...almost too friendly. And after we got the bill, I knew why.
We never received menus. Only verbal quick menu ("panna cotta, fresh fruit salad, fresh orange juice, coffee, pastries")
We weren't looking to even have any food since we had eaten breakfast right before, but the "fresh fruit salad" sounded "fresh" and yummy. We ordered 3 fruit salads, 3 coffees, and a "fresh" orange juice.
Firstly, the fruit salads weren't fresh, with the exception of 2 very small mini slices of watermelon (with no flavor). The rest of it was drenched in fruit syrup from canned fruit.
Secondly, the "fresh" orange juice was not fresh. It was clearly some kind of Minute-Maid type beverage. Not resembling real oranges (and certainly not "fresh" ones).
Here's the real kicker! The total bill??
About $110.00!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me? No wonder we never received a menu and out waiter was unusually friendly. Because they are running a dirty business. Our canned-fruit, fruit cups were $15.00 each and our glass of Minute-maid was $8.00. Such. A. Scam. And really put a dent in our day after we realized that, so quickly, over $100 of our daily budget was spent on canned foods.
Please don't support this establishment. I am a foodie and lover of all restaurants - I can always find redeeming qualities. However, when you feel as though you have been stolen from and Rome-appropriately, "pick-pocketed", there are no redeeming qualities. read more
