    It's so good! The truffles and ham was absolutely out of this world! Service kinda slow but understandable Cute and cozy restaurant for a quiet breakfast

    Great food, loved the decor and ambiance... Highly recommend and I can't wait to come back for breakfast tomorrow! Service was top notch also.

    Nice, clean spot with yummy food and drinks. The OJ is freshly squeezed! I had the English breakfast and my husband had the pancakes with fruit. His only complaint was that the pancakes were small but he loved it otherwise. My English Breakfast was yummy but the bacon was a bit saltier than I expected. Server was super friendly and prompt. Great experience overall, we do recommend it and will be coming back!

    a wonderful outing near the vatican. it is kind of pricey compared to the other restaurants and seems more of a grab and go spot. i got the charcuterie board along with some aperol spritz. i would recommend here for snacking but not if your hungry and the drinks are boozy check it out! there is barely any space indoors and it gets hot during the heat but they have outdoor seating. i like the service the people are friendly and are great vibes. the food is alright it's more of a sip spot.

    Smoked salmon, brie, avocado and zucchini

    Amazing service, food and decent prices! The English breakfast to the sandwich's were delicious along with the fresh orange juice and americano coffee. Clean bathrooms as well!

    A cute little place to have brunch or breakfast! Very nice service and nice atmosphere. Loved my waffle!

    This was a cute, quaint little cafe that I definitely will be coming back to. I had the waffle and my other half had the pancakes which was accompanied by fresh fruit. The orange juice served with it was freshly squeezed and hit the spot. My waffle was soft but crunchy, if that makes sense...lol. The syrup tasted like it was baked inside. It tasted like a little crunchy cake! As I stated earlier, I will be visiting The Loft again while I'm here in Rome and you should give it a try! Ciao!

    Salmon and avocado bruschetta, and pesto with sun dried tomato bruschetta.

    We had a great experience at the loft. We came here for cocktails and an appetizer. The bruschetta was really good. We ended up later ordering juice drinks that were really tasty (not pictured).

    I really enjoyed the food here! The panini that I got was made of cheese and ham and although it was simple, it was spectacular. I did not really like the bread, but the portion size was very large, so I just removed the bottom slice of bread. I also got the antioxidant smoothie, which is organic, fresh fruit juice and was also amazing. The cheese and meat board was good, but not as good as the other ones that I have tried in Rome, so I would say skip that. They gave us very average, normal cheese and meat you could get in an market in the U.S. Good food and great atmosphere, all while being a 30 second walk from the vatican museum. 5/5!

    2 small pancakes. Not 4

    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.

    This was my second trip to Rome, the first in 2019 we stumbled upon this small hole in the wall…read morestreet pasta and fell in love. 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. And be sure to eat it on the stoop of the restaurant for the full experience! Expect your hot and fresh pasta ready in 3-5 mins on a busy day.

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.

Staff are very friendly and make it clear you can customize your sandwich if you want. The sandwiches came out within 10 minutes and were massive. Really nice bread, plenty of rocket, good vegan cheese and salami, grilled zucchini, and artichoke cream to top it off. Really satisfying and fulfilling sandwich. Located a block or two from the Vatican and open late (3am), what's there not to love about this place? Highly recommended.
