It is a large restaurant and was full of lively patrons. The indoor decor is warm and inviting. The first thing I noticed was the camaraderie between the waitstaff - everyone seemed to get along, helped each other and were having fun. We had 2 wonderful Filipino waiters. One had the same Ray-Ban meta glasses as my husband, which they bonded over. We ordered the bombolotti carbonara and lasagna-both delicious. For the mains, grilled Turbot (which was perfectly de-boned tableside) and meatballs w/ mashed potatoes. While the waiter was de-boning the fish, the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver came on overhead. My husband and I both looked at each other and smiled, thinking WTH?! I asked the waiter, "did we tell you we were from West Virginia?" and he smiled and shook his head. But later confessed, he played it for us (I guess we did tell him, lol). It made our night. Rome was the last city in our multi-city 12 day tour and we loved every minute but we were looking forward to going home. Hearing "Country Roads" at a popular and busy restaurant a block away from the Spanish Steps blew our minds. A young couple sat next to us for a quick snack, I asked her what she ordered (it looked delicious) and she said "Im from a different part of Italy but come here just for their artichokes". A few minutes later, I saw a plate full of artichokes pass by, being brought to a table outside. They made my mouth water. Al 34 was one of our favorite restaurants in Italy -- wonderful food (extensive menu), very lively with a mixed crowd (lots of Asians, English speakers and native Italians). It is a fun place to go and the wait staff is one of the reasons I will be coming back. I cant wait to try their artichokes! If you see the word, carciofo (artichoke), order it!

The Grilled Scampi were totally outstanding. Could have eaten a couple more orders. Perfectly grilled with a bit of a nice char taste. The Carciofo Fritti was top notch...could have been bigger but not really a complaint. We were blown away by the addition of the Carciofo ravioli. They were awesome. They were so good and very filling. The sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Our waiter was great. We ordered a glass of wine and a Coca Cola. He called Georgia's Wine not knowing we were from Atlanta.

I'd be very careful to look at your receipt and understand exactly what you're getting. We lost 41 euro. Granted we actually received one of the two dishes we were charged so it was "less of a loss". We won't be making this mistake again. Tourists especially be aware. Be firm with your server if something doesn't look right. We had let it go with the language barrier, but looking back, it felt dishonest. More.... Pasta dishes were ok, but the shrimp was not fresh or deveined. Spaghetti pomodoro e basilico tasted like they used canned tomatoes. Overall ambience seemed clean though. All pasta was al dente. Giving 2 stars is generous considering what happened. Service aside from the confusion seemed generally nice out of courtesy but not kind and there's a big difference. We definitely felt rushed since they probably wanted to keep turning tables. I was expecting more since we had read all the great reviews prior to booking. Just be careful with the bill to make sure you aren't getting swindled.
