A whole villa to cater to your every appetite, you can't help admiring the architecture of the place. And when you seat down, you find an interesting menu with plenty of options, some of which are bold enough that you can't pass. Prosciutto&olive-wrapped mozzarella, with grilled veggies? A bit too salty, as is expected when you cook ham, but tasty. I also enjoyed the mini-fried-calamari, the right size and quantity to open up the stomach without becoming overwhelming. Portions are not overly generous but prices are also very moderate, you're really tempted to order away and then share with the rest of the table. Unless you're in the mood for pizza, because that's the exception that confirms the rule: incredibly large but thin, with the classic crispy border you can expect from Roman cuisine. The entrees are probably a better choice, with both seafood and meat creations. My grilled and breaded squid was light and delicious. The service is fast, with a smart button to push when you need to call the waiter, and they accept credit cards, but not Amex. All in all, always a pleasant experience, but I do tend to enjoy the ambiance more than the food itself. Eating outside in the terrace with the good season is an experience in itself, and the fact that the bar is well stocked doesn't hurt either.

God awful! Not attentive at all, no offer for dessert, coffee, anything.

My dad actually got up to grab another bottle of water for us!!! This place can be a gold mine. Maybe I'm missing something here? (6) people in the entire place on a Saturday night. Finally, we had to go to a restaurant around the corner for dessert, coffee and after dinner drinks. We would have gladly spent more time and had the above after dinner, but they simply did not know how to run a business and cater to their customers.

With low light and candles on the table, the ambiance was as romantic as it gets. The door was propped open and beautiful music wafted in from around the corner. We started by sharing the tonnarelli pasta which had cacio cheese, lemon, mint, and Sichuan pepper. My first course was followed by duck with apricots and a caramelized raspberry reduction. The duck was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the sweetness from the fruit and reduction that were paired with it. I ended the night with a strawberry semifreddo that was cold and refreshing. We loved the food and the atmosphere so much that we found ourselves there again the following night. On night two, the dining room was packed and we had the option of taking the last seat by the door or eating in their bakery next door. We opted for the bakery. There was one couple finishing when we were seated so we essentially had a private dining area for the night, which was perfect. They started us with bruschetta and olives and then we split the maltagliati with white ragu sauce, red pepper cream, and pecorino cheese. It was "lick the bowl" delicious! I got the chicken thighs stuffed with tomatoes and olives and served with a balsamic vinegar reduction, which was full of flavor. On our last night in Italy, I couldn't pass on a proper tiramisu. I can't say enough great things about this place. We literally just happened upon it based on the location of our accommodations but it was definitely one of the best finds of our entire trip.

The cocktails were very meticulously prepared and very good. Once we ordered food, we transitioned to wine.

My friend got the gnocchi, which she said was one of the best pasta dishes she's had in her life. I had the cacio e pepe, which was very simple and delicious. The place was rather slow from the service standpoint, but other than that, we can see ourselves coming back again or recommending it to our friends!

All of it delicious. We knew after that first meal at KarmaZeta we were in for a treat in Rome. Rome in general didn't disappoint, but a week later KZ is was still in our minds as one of the very best meals we had, so we came back and again it did not disappoint. The menu changes daily, but seems always suitable to vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The Pennette Pomodoro I had on the first visit was delicious and the Formaggio Risotto I had a week later was equally good. The coffee is good and even the check at the end of meal was delightful. 6/7 I think in a few days we'll may need to return for dinner!

As a Southern American trying to navigate Rome, I'm still completely confused. I cannot for the life of me figure out north vs. south or east vs. west in this city. Every street somehow looks historic, beautiful, and exactly the same. By 9 PM, after walking more than 10 miles today and standing in countless lines -- one for over an hour -- I was exhausted. I was close to my hotel and started looking for somewhere to eat. I had already passed Sofia earlier and really didn't want to backtrack even a few blocks. But after going the wrong direction again and somehow ending up right back near it, I figured that was a sign. So, Sofia it was. My ordering skills in Italy are still not exactly professional level. I really need a local Italian to help me. Yeah, I'm slow... remember, I'm from the South. I ordered the Mezza Maniche Carbonara. I mean, you can't really go wrong with noodles, cheese, and pork, right? A few minutes after ordering, they brought out this little appetizer-looking thing that I'm still confused about. It was this tiny little ball about the size of my thumb. I took one bite and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I'm not even sure I want to know what was in it, but at that point I was hungry enough not to ask questions. Then the pasta arrived. Drumroll... First bite? Absolutely divine. Rich, creamy, cheesy pasta with perfectly cooked pork mixed throughout. Fantastic. I devoured the entire plate, chased it down with a Coke, grabbed my glass bottle of water, and walked down the street carrying it like a Roman wino. Great food, great atmosphere, and a perfect little outdoor dining setup on one of Rome's tiny city streets

When I walked in, I was greeted and was able to easily find a seat to relax in. The restaurant was very comfortable and cozy with great decor and a lovely ambiance. There was seating both inside and outside and while the outside would have been better for people watching, I opted to dine inside, as it was brutally hot outside. Since I had used up most of my data during my trip, I was thankful for their free and fast WiFi. I was able to view their vast menu and ended up ordering the carbonara, as eating pasta in Rome is a must! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I never would have known from the creamy pasta sauce and the savory meaty faux bacon pieces. The pasta was also very fresh and doughy and seemed handmade. The carbonara really hit the spot for me! I ended up ordering the tiramisu for dessert, as I knew I would probably never find another vegan version in Rome! It was so decadent, creamy and indulgent with a great mixture of espresso and chocolate and even contained some Oreo pieces. The service was very warm and friendly and I am glad they were able to speak English to assist with the ordering process. It was on the slower side, but I didn't mind as I was in no rush and wanted to really relax and indulge at their lovely restaurant. I highly recommend coming here on a trip to Rome!

After this round of entries here are the main courses: my Jerusalem's filled chicken with rice, pine seeds and cinnamon was amazing, but they serve also a shawarma plate, a good beef, cous cous and some pasta dishes. At the end a good glass of sweet Sicilian zibibbo wine and a delicious Libanese cannolo... It's been a bit pricey, but worth it.

A pita bread turned out to be a standard bun (seemed industrial to me). The cutlets seemed like they had been taken out of a supermarket. Then we had a vegetable cous-cous and a "baccalà alla romana". The cous-cous came in a tiny plate and had only a few vegetables in it. It must have cost less than 1 euro to make, and was priced 8 euros on the menu. The baccalà had the sauce which was almost raw, practically uncooked, with random raisins and pine nuts thrown in, and a couple of olives which did not mix at all, giving the experience of a dish prepared by arranging a few ingredients with no binding whatsoever among them. A bit pricey, too, given the quality.

It's "osteria" style, but offering attentive service and bold menu options, like artichoke-crusted sea-bream, or zucchini-flower-crusted bass with potatoes and grilled calamari. That's a mouthful, and a delicious one. I did not get to try the pasta, I think that appetizer + main course is a great combo. Among the starters, notable zucchini flowers, anchovies and mozzarella au gratin, even more delicious than the eggplant parmigiana. Desserts are all home-made, if you have a sweet tooth, it pays to save some room for the exquisite "tortino ai frutti di bosco", or a classic Tiramisu. Even the bread is good! In summary, a not overly sophisticated seafood place with excellent ingredients, novel combinations and pleasantly reasonable prices.
