This restaurant was recommended to me. I was concerned by the recent poor reviews as it had been a couple years since the last visit. I made reservations and arrived early after a long day of sightseeing. The outdoor appearance was worn and there were no other patrons as it was early for Italian diners. So, I was a not sure of my choice. However, the food, while rustic, was wholesome and delicious. The prosciutto was freshly sliced, the tomatoes were perfectly ripe, and the legumes were so good and well seasoned. Rice balls, meatballs, bread, pasta with two sauces, roast lamb and veal, cake, and white and red table wine. Several other tables came while we were there. It is cash only so be prepared-35 euros per plate. Sorry the pictures are a bit messy- I forgot to take pictures before I started eating!! read more

Easily one the worst meals I've ever paid for in my life. My partner and I were recommended this as an authentic Roman experience, but it was anything but that. The food was exactly the same as in all the pictures. The main course was something being passed off as veal that tasted more like the driest piece of ham on a cafeteria hot plate. It took an hour and a half to get to "dessert," and by then we wanted nothing more than to get out of there. When we asked for the bill, they said cash only despite not having that listed anywhere and offering no receipt. The man has the audacity to not give change back as if we wanted to tip for this obvious scam. Do yourself a favor and watch an episode of Nathan For You, and then go somewhere worth eating. read more

Trattoria der Pallaro - Desert - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

This is NOT the place to go for good food. Not sure where these 4 and 5 star reviewers ate, but it definitely wasn't here. Quality of the food does not warrant the €35 price tag. The driest, toughest, tasteless meat. Pasta had very little flavor, desert was like a Sara Lee frozen cake. Overall the worst meal we had during our stay in Rome. read more

A must visit!! Rick Steve's guided us here and we are so thankful. The menu is, there is no menu, they serve the chef's design for the day. Water, wine, 5 courses, tremendous value, $$. Loved the patio seating. Our meal: red wine, water, lentils, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, prosciutto, bread, meatballs, rice balls. Rigatoni pasta red and green sauces, veal cutlets, homemade potato chips, salad. Lemon cake, and mango juice shot. read more

Rustic place - there is no menu. The chef hopes to the market nearby and gets whatever vegetables are in season and concocts deliciousness. The green salad had a hint of bitterness and sweetness at the same time - simply tossed in olive oil. The house are chips were crispy and light, the pastas were cooked perfectly - I prefer the red one. read more

Great place, family owned with great food!!! No menu it's just what they are making that day!!! Wine and desert is included. We come here every time we are in Rome.. we have 3 generations here the last time we visited read more

Trattoria der Pallaro - 3 generations here in this photo to eat at the best local restaurant with the best owner. - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

I've been going to this place for over 25 years - it used to be a flight crew favorite because of its inexpensive prixe fix dinner for about 15€. Well, the price is now about 30€ but the food is the same. No menu, you eat what they bring out. Cash only. Antipasti (lentils, arrincinni, tomatoes, mozzarella balls, prosciutto, maybe olives), pasta (2 kinds of rigatoni with carbonara sauce and a tomato sauce) , secondo of roast veal and braised pork chunks, dessert of a tart of some kind, and a small glass of tangerine or strawberry juice, served with caraffe of house wine and also water. The original owners, signora and Signore Fazzi have passed away in the last few years. The current owners seem to be operating it the same way. Make sure you ask if the service is included in the check (I think it is). Opens at 12-4:30 for lunch 7pm-1230am for dinner. read more

I was recommended this place by my sister; and I was not let down! The food is served to you based on what nonna is making that day. I've seen people complain about the portion, but I ended up not being able to finish the dessert because I was so full already! We were served Antipasti which included prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes (the best tomatoes I've had in Italy!), lentil stew, suppli, and fried meatballs. Our primo was two different pastas; one in white sauce and one Rosa Sauce. The pasta was my favorite part of the entire meal! I don't know how Nonna does it, but that pasta rivals many of the upscale restaurants I've been to in Italy. Our Secondi was a cut of juicy pork, green beans, a small salad, and fresh chips. The dessert was a lemon cheese cake of sorts served with a fresh made fruit juice. I would absolutely recommend this place. The servers are very helpful. However, the only question they ask you is "Sparkling or still water?" and "Red or white wine?" They explain everything dish they serve you. They're also very careful to ask about allergies before they serve you food. read more

Went to this place over 20 yrs ago - loved it so I saved a business card. Finally made it back to Rome, and still love this restaurant. I think the same woman is there in the kitchen. I love how she comes out and says hi occasionally. I can tell she's proud of her food! We went on a Sunday evening. Placed was pretty quiet. Still having COVID issues here in Italy. No menu, just food. I thought the lentils were excellent. Can't get them like that in NJ. The carbonara was the highlight. And no peas! There was two of us and we came out stuffed! Lots of small plates. Second plate was some kind of pork / delicious. Even got a dessert pie and some kind of strawberry shot, Two meals, two bottles red wine, one bottle water - €60 plus tip. Highly recommended! read more

Never disappoints. Chef Paola is a wonderful host and the food is outstanding as always!

Come hungry when you done at Trattoria der Pallaro. You will be eating a lot of food. You also get to choose between red wine and white wine. I think the best dish for dinner was the arancini. Definitely call in advance to make reservations, however, the place was not completely full when we dined here tonight. read more

Trattoria der Pallaro - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

There are three metropolises in Europe that we frequent on a regular basis - London, Rome, and Paris. When we revisit each city, we always try new restaurants; yet, there are a few in each city, that we always return to. Trattoria Der Pallaro is an 'always' return. The food is not gourmet - and I wouldn't put it in the excellent range. What we like about it is it tastes like what you would expect to be served at a typical Roman home - a home-styled Roman Sunday feast, with all of the courses. We also like the fact that there's no decisions to make - except for red or white. This is a prix fixe meal, which you can't beat for an honest 30 Euro (including the vino). It's been the same meal since we first visited over 20 years ago. Various appetizers, two types of rigatoni (a marinara and a buttery Pecorino), wonderful lentils, roasted veal, homemade potato chips...and more. It's always a delight seeing owner Nonna Paola, who is moving much slower now - but still visits the tables with a bright smile and a gracious hug. Not sure how much longer this place will exist, but as long as it is open, we'll always return! Be sure to call earlier in the day and make an outdoor reservation. It's located on a quiet street just outside of Campo de Fiori. read more

Why 5 stars? Because it was like no other dining experience. --- --- --- The experience was so unique because you pay 25 Euros and they bring you whatever it is that they made that night. According to the photos and reviews, it seems to be virtually the same menu every night, so that takes a little bit of the cool factor away, but it was still really neat! As for the food itself, it was probably worth 4-stars: Prosciutto & Mozzarella - Always amazing! But it came with some kind of cabbage which we didn't love. Peas & the Lentils - Both of these were kind of a bit off with a weird flavor. Veal - Nearly impossible to cut with the provided butter knife. Pasta - The best part of our meal - absolutely delicious. Strawberry Juice - They give you a small amount of this to finish dinner and it's amazing! I wish I would have had a larger serving! But the point of visiting this restaurant is to get the home cooking of Grandma. I'm not sure if Grandma is actually cooking these days, but she's probably pretty involved with the recipes. We sat outside and I watched her come in and out of the restaurant, greeting and talking to people, despite speaking very little English. That part of the experience was everything I'd hoped for. read more

Love this place- rustic and delicious! So much food for 30 euros- I think there were 9 dishes altogether, and none of them were too salty. And Nonna walks around saying hi to everyone. I would go back. read more

We accidentally stumbled in here when we couldn't get into a much busier restaurant a few blocks down. Lucky us! We were greeted by a straight forward server telling us it was 25 euros per person for wine and 4 courses - done! This was one of our favorite nights! the wine was amazing, homemade. The food was extremely simple and delicious! read more

Trattoria der Pallaro accommodated our large group perfectly and we appreciated how welcoming they were. The vibe is traditional or what locals reassured us as "very Roman." You pay $30 per person for a pre fixed menu including appetizers (prosciutto, lentils, bread), pasta (two kinds), a meat dish (veal and pork), and dessert (tiramisu). You absolutely get your money's worth in terms of quantity of food. However, the meat was overcooked and difficult to chew. Our biggest gripe was that they reassured us that they accepted credit cards. However, when we finished our meal and prepared to pay, they told us that the credit card machine was broken. It felt a little scammy but thankfully we had cash on hand. Good for a big meal. Have cash on you just in case. read more

One of our favorite meals in Rome was at Trattoria Der Pallaro. Rick Steves recommends this well-worn eatery in his Rome guidebook and I am so glad we followed his suggestion! Paola Fazi "Grandma" and her family serve a four course home-cooked Roman meal with wine, coffee, and a fresh-squeezed juice for €25 per person. This rustic restaurant has no menu because grandma cooks a different meal each night. Trattoria der Pallaro's slogan is: "Here, you'll eat what we want to feed you." While the menu changes each night the courses are very similar. During our visit we had the following: Appetizers: A simple, yet tasty assortment of hearty bread, mozzarella, prosciutto, olives, lentils, fennel, and fried rice balls. Pasta: Rigatoni served with two different types of sauce (Carbonara and Amatriciana) that were perfectly al dente. Main Course: A garden salad with a light vinaigrette, roasted pork, and homemade potato chips. At this point I was so stuffed that I could hardly eat another bite, but grandma insisted that I clean my plate! Luckily, I always have room for dessert! Dessert: The most phenomenal apple cake I have ever had. The homemade crust was divine! After dessert we were served shot glasses of fresh squeezed strawberry juice. While the food at Trattoria der Pallaro isn't fancy or gourmet, the food is incredibly fresh and homemade and you can taste the love that grandma puts into her cooking. The meal reminded me of similar meals my Italian grandmother has cooked for us over the years so this was a nice trip down memory lane. The night truly felt like a trip to grandmother's house! Next time I find myself in Rome I will definitely be dining at Trattoria der Pallaro! read more

Trattoria der Pallaro - Pasta Carbonara (left) and Amatriciana (right) - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Interesting experience Had we realized Rick Steves had recommended this restaurant we may have hunted it down. As it was, we more or less stumbled into it, being suggested by another eating establishment we stopped at that was fully booked. That meant when we arrived we were not aware of how different this dining experience would be. Thanks to Yelp we pretty quickly learned this was a fixed price 25 euro meal of their choosing, not ours. That sounded interesting. It was quite busy and we were ignored for what seemed like several minutes, but finally acknowledged and shown to a table in the back. We sat and within a few minutes food was dropped off. No one had explained anything, we just got food. We ate that and more food arrived. In all, we received 4 courses plus a dessert. In looking through other reviews our meal was pretty standard to what others had, and it was all quite good except the lentils. I say that only because I don't particularly like lentils. Other reviews have a better opinion, you should rely on them for lentil advice. It was already late for us, we started about 9pm, and after reading some reviews I was concerned the meal would go on for hours. Not the case, we were done in a little over an hour, very full and now more experienced in different ways of dining out. It was at the end of the meal we learned they did not take credit cards, we had enough cash. We thanked Grandma on the way out and were most pleased for the evening's surprise and food. read more

Delicious food. Every course was amazing and filling. Service was great. Very charming and welcoming to tourists

A fun experience for those who like to be surprised. Delicious food in an authentic Roman neighborhood. Fun and delicious!

Based on the enthusiastic recommendation of a friend and a stellar lunch at Roscioli, we decided to gamble and have dinner at Trattoria del Pallaro. We like to do high/low on trips so having an awesome "high" lunch means aiming for a "low" dinner. The 25 euro per person dinner meant that! We walked up after lunch and easily made a dinner reservation in the patio for that night. It rained that night, so the patio was closed. I have a feeling that lovely weather would have made the open patio charming. Instead we felt like we were having dinner in a tent; totally not their fault for the weather but absolutely not what we were looking for on our last dinner in Rome on our anniversary trip. It was further compounded by the presence of about 50 loud teenagers on a school trip. Yikes. It was a night and day difference after they left! So what sold me was the premise that the menu was different every night. Except my dinner looks just like the rest of the yelp pics posted, and I saw the menu posted by the door where you walked in. Its definitely made in bulk. For 25 euro, it was okay. I enjoyed the fennel and lentils but the remainder of my dinner was disappointing. The noodles were most disappointing; while the sauce was good, I didn't have a single intact noodle in my dish. We were served potato chips with our veal - that was a first. We brought our own wine and they supplied us with a corkscrew and charged us no fee; although an extra carafe only cost us 3 euro, it was just blah. I'm not sure how the other yelper was upcharged so much but as a result of her review, I made sure to ask the price before they brought it out. If you are someone who eats to live and abhors the paradox of choice and/or if you are in a large group and need a spot to dine, this place will be a great spot for you. If you are like me and live to eat, you will do as we did and start googling where to head next during your meal... read more

If you want a pleasant experience where you know the food you are eating good food, then this is a good place for you. There is no menu. We had about 8 different courses, all were very good in their own way. We had some mozzarella, fennel, lentils, and delicious prosciutto just to name a few appetizers. The pasta was two-ways, and the main dish of veal was juicy and tender. Overall, it was a nice dinner where we didn't have to think about what to order! read more

Trattoria der Pallaro - Roman Near Me - Rome, RM

Authentic and amazing!! This was one of the best restaurants we went to in Rome. The grandma, who is the owner and the chef, is the star of the show. From the moment we went in she greeted us with hugs and attention, and she went to every table constantly checking that everyone is happy with their food and service. Be prepared: there is no menu. Yes, no menu. How crazy is that?! She brings out whatever she feels like cooking that day. And you have to trust everything that comes out because it is that DELICIOUS! We started with 5 appetizers that included lentil, rice balls, meat balls, fresh tomatoes and prosciutto, and of course their house wine (red or white). They were all so delicious and so fresh. Honestly even the tomatoes tastes like nothing I've ever had. After we basically licked the plates clean, they brought out the pastas. Yes pastas, plural! Two types of pastas, one with Parmesan and the other with classic tomato sauce. Both were out of this world good! Then just when we thought we were finished they brought out pork and lamb meat with a side of greens, again delicious. And of course there had to be a continuation to that which was a lemon cream pie, super delicious!! Oh by the way, which all of the glorious food was coming out there was unlimited house wine coming out of the kitchen with it. We drank 2 liters of wine that night. Yes, 2 liters (an no hangovers since Italian wine has very little sulfites in there). Overall our experience here was one for the books. It was so fun for us that we took our friends that we made earlier on our trip to this restaurant the very next day. The grandma was very happy to see us again. ***Bonus: they have a tunnel under the restaurant which you can access with the inside side door that once was an escape route for the colosseum. We had access to that after our dinner and it was believed that Cesar took his last steps there before being killed. How crazy is that!!? We got to see the knife marks on the wall. So cool! read more

After finishing a two hour walking tour around Rome, our tour guide suggested we check out this place for dinner. It's a great family owned restaurant, and our tour guide even joined us! They offer wine, appetizers, a main course and dessert for 25 euro/person. The staff was very friendly and constantly checking on us. It's a hidden gem off the beaten path of Rome. Definitely tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area. It's told to be within the same proximity where the old amphitheatre of Rome was located and likely where Ceaser died. Old wives tail? Possibly. But worth a trip none the less! The food is really amazing and speaks for itself! It's a must come in my book. read more

Wow. We were recommended to dine here by the host of our apartment, Carlo. Mama was there the night we were there and the food was amazing! Fresh pasta, tons of courses mixed in but was absolutely great! Reminded me of my wife's grandma Pellecchia! She was such a nice lady, and WOW can she cook! Keep in mind they only took cash when we were there, so be prepared. read more

We were disappointed in the food and slipshod service. We took 4 friends so we were embarrassed too. Every bit of food was ordinary. The veal overcooked and dry. Vegetables were an odd assortment of stringy greens, very salty greens and potato chips. Ante pasta featured unripe tomatoes and boring white bread and unseasoned lentils. Just don't bother with this place. read more

My favorite restaurant I have been to so far on my short visit to Rome. We found this place from a few random blogs and loved what we read about it. "Italian Grandma" we called her greets you at the door. We love her. She is running the show and will get you to move, sit, eat or drink...don't ask, just do what she tells you! We were sat fairly quickly and immediately brought a pitcher of red wine without even asking. There is no menu, it is a fixed price (we paid 25€ each) and brought eight courses. It was the best meal we have had in Italy. "Grandma" hugs and talks to everyone on their way out. I am not sure what all she said to us, but we were all smiling and hugging and maybe the wine that they had refilled a few times that partly had us so happy, but we were all skipping down the street after our meal and time here! If you're visiting Rome, go here! read more

Excellent little mom-and-pop restaurant. And by "mom and pop", I mean you eat whatever it is they decided to make that day, and towards the end of my meal, a little old lady came out of the kitchen, stroked my face, and declared me to be "bellissima!" The portions are ridiculous, and the prices are very reasonable. You choose between either the regular menu or the smaller size. I had the "piccolo" menu for 16 euros, which consisted of the following: --Good bread --A plate of tomatoes --An excellent prosciutto and mozzarella plate --Three croquettes, which were just OK --A plate of lentils --Two types of amazing pasta --A quarter liter (!) of house wine This was all included in the 16 euros. From what I could see at other tables, the full menu would have included even more appetizers, a bucket-sized portion of pasta, a meat course, and dessert. If you eat here, you really don't need anything else the rest of the day. Highly recommended. read more

Quaint, beautiful, amazing food, Nonna was lovely. And apparently now I have to add more things because that was too short of a review.

Trattoria der Pallaro is a great option for those who want a taste of a typical Italian meal and don't care about choosing what they eat. For 25 euro per person, you get wine, water, and a four course meal. We started with prosciutto, mozzarella, bread, tomatoes, beans, and some fried ball...things... All great, but we had to save room for the rest. The first course was two types of pasta - carbonara and amatriciana. Pasta was a little salty (as I found most places to be), but perfectly al dente. The second course of salad and veal was just ok. Veal was tender, but it was served with overly dressed salad (my pet peeve), and non-crispy potato chips that instead oozed oil. The dessert was a custard pie that was underwhelming. It's tucked away behind the piazza, but it's fairly easy to find. We arrived around 7 and didn't have to wait, but it subsequently got full by the time we left. As others have mentioned, nonna likes to watch over and call out her waiters like misbehaving schoolboys. Service was friendly (something we didn't see that much in Rome), and while the food wasn't amazing, it was an overall great experience. read more

Simple, good meal for $25 per person, everything included. Great meal. Nice location near the city core and the old lady running the place as very friendly.

I went on a tour of Rome with The Gladiator Guide (@thegladiatorguide on Instagram - check him out!) and the tour ended at this restaurant. We were greeted by nonna Paula, who has owned the restaurant for 56 years, and it's been in her family for over 100 years. She's the sweetest! Now, the first thing you need to know about this place is that there's no menu. Don't ask for one. :) This is the kind of place you go to for an experience, not just a meal. It's a fixed menu for 25 euros per person - and that includes house wine! To start, our waiter asked us if we want white or red wine, and then if we eat beef and if we have any food allergies. Once that was settled, we sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The first course consisted of several small plates including lentils, fresh mozzarella, rice balls, prosciutto, bread, and a few other items. We were warned not to fill up on the bread, but I couldn't help myself. The next course was pasta. We received a bowl of pasta that was half tomato based sauce, half cream based sauce. Both were great! The third course was beef, spinach, and potato chips. I did enjoy this course, but probably my least favorite compared to the rest. Finally, for dessert - I'm not sure exactly what kind, but it was a slice of cake served with a shot of juice. The cake on it's own was okay, but a sip of juice with it really completed the taste. Service was pretty incredible on our visit. Each of the waiters were so sweet and accommodating. I highly recommend anyone visiting Rome to come here and also say hello to nonna Paula. It'll make her day. :) I also don't think you can beat the price and try so many different dishes. P.S. They don't take credit cards. Cash only! Don't worry though, there's an ATM right around the corner from the restaurant. read more

This restaurant was wonderful! "Grandma" greeted us from the window of the kitchen as we walked through the front door, which is also part of the kitchen, and she came out to personally welcome us to her restaurant! We really felt like we were coming over to eat at an Italian grandmother's house! The food was what you would expect to find at a home-cooked, Italian dinner. The antipasto was plentiful, in fact after we had the next course we were already starting to see that it was going to be difficult to finish our plates! The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked. The dinner included house wine, bread, antipasto, pasta, meat, and dessert. All of this for just €25 a person! The service was excellent and "Grandma" was the sweetest! Highly recommend going! Make sure you arrive hungry and be prepared to have more food than you can eat! read more

This is my favourite no-brainer restaurant in Rome. A true trattoria where the only things available are the limited daily specials. It's simple, you sit down and your courses are brought to you. No menu, no choice (OK you can let them know if you are a vegetarian) and only which colour house wine you want. What you get for 25 euro a head is several courses of genuine family home cooked food. Prepared with love and care, the portions are generous and the courses keep on coming. Despite the low prices, they don't mind you ordering another carafe of wine to linger in the lovely atmosphere. Do yourself a favour and try this slice of old backstreet Rome. read more

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night. I liked that you didn't choose what you ate, as the chef, a Nona, runs the show. We showed up without a reservation and the waiters consulted her before we were given a patio table. Our first carafe (came with the dinner) was brought out right away, with a bottle of sparkling water( not sure if this came with dinner as you never see a menu). Then, appetizers of fennel, prosciutto, mozzarella, lentils and two different kinds of doughballs were served. Then we were served two different pastas, followed by pork loin, greens, and fresh made, thin sliced potato chips, followed by a slice of lemon ricotta cheesecake. Oh, they also served a small shot glass of strawberry juice after the meal. It was perfect. I also ordered another carafe of wine. I've heard that dinner here is €25 per person and includes one carafe of wine. My Mom and had a total of 2 carafes of wine and 1 large bottle of sparkling water that was brought to the table. Our bill was €68. Not sure how much the extra carafe of wine and bottled water cost. €18 extra seems pricey if everyone else is paying only €25 per person. All in all, it was a great experience and the food was great. I enjoyed the concept. It is located just off Campo De Fiori and is quiet and relaxing. I definitely recommend. read more

Unfortunately, this might be the most subpar meal I've ever had. The idea of a wholesome grandma pouring her heart and soul into a "different" meal most nights of the week is a scam... read the reviews... it's the same meal every night. None of the dishes had an flavor or character. From the expired red wine to the soggy potato chips... this place was abominable. Granny was charming though, I'll give her that. read more

This restaurant is mentioned in Rick Steves' Rome guidebook, and is a popular spot for savvy tourists. Located not far from Campo de Fiori, Pallaro serves their food in traditional Roman style, with no menu. You pay a (very reasonable) fixed price for a carafe of wine, and an assortment of whatever the chef feels like cooking that day. Oh, and the chef is an adorable Italian grandmother who will come and blow kisses while you enjoy her delicious food. My mom is Kosher and I'm picky, so we just said we didn't eat meat to keep things simple. They were happy to work around that, and we certainly got more than enough different dishes to stuff ourselves with. We didn't have a reservation and were seated immediately, but the place filled up while we ate. If I return to Rome, I'd certainly consider coming back to Pallaro to see what Grandma cooks for dinner! read more

Going to this restaurant is an experience. You pay a flat rate & get a very generous 4 course meal of whatever is being cooked that day. This was the first place where my husband and I had dinner in Rome. We were seated outside & started with the house wine. The courses were all good, some better than others. 2 pastas were served, the tomato one was not super flavorful but the garlic sauce was. What I call veal poppers were delicious. Also, the lentils were very tasty. Dessert was good and they served us potato chips to end our meal-kinda strange plus we were so full at this point we didn't finish them. The "grandma" is part of the experience here. She's the one that cooks or decides what's served-they actually are serving the food in the dining room. She walks around during the course of the night and greets her regulars-kisses and hugs them. She'll smile at new customers as she walks past. All in all, the experience and meal was well worth the money. When we return to Rome, we'll be sure to return to this grandma's restaurant. read more

This is the local great grandma place of Rome, I'm positive she has 'mysterious' connections. If you write a bad review a black Mercedes will stop outside your house, and some rather rough gentlemen in black suits and black hats will knock on your door... It is a set menu place, cash only, 25€/head or you're sleeping with the fishes. To be honest it's very charming; mismatched cutlery, water glass for your wine - no fancy "wine glasses", come on... Once in a while great grandma waddles out and you best give her the proper Italian kissings greeting. Or Don Giovanni will send Sammy to have a "word" with you. Overall great place to visit, all joking aside this is a place built and fostered with LOVE. A must eat in Rome! read more

Honestly overhyped and on the verge of unwelcoming. I just don't get why this is a "Must go" in Rome according to some locals? The food is very basic and lacking flavor and excitement. Fine if you're looking for a budget joint to lay low, pass otherwise! read more
