    Used glass bottle!

    MANAGER PICKED FIGHT WITH US OUTSIDE RESTAURANT Originally going off of the positive TripAdvisor reviews, my boyfriend and I went to VII Coorte for a nice meal. Gaitan, our waiter, first sat us at a four person table, so we just sat in the two seats right next to each other. There were 3 other couples dining and ~10 empty tables. We ate around 10pm on a Sunday, so no one else was coming in to eat. We made our reservations through TripAdvisor, and I had accidentally made my reservations for the following day. When we asked if we could change our reservation to the day we actually came to honor the 20% off discount, the manager refused to and said he would only if we came the next day. This would be understandable if the manager was not hostile in his explanation. We were also caught off guard by the misleading prices listed for the entrees than what was listed on TripAdvisor. The menu had raised prices. Nonetheless, we ordered the grilled octopus and octopus pasta to start, knowing we would be paying more for dessert and drinks later. Gaitan, who was surprised we didn't order any appetizers, kept pushing us to order more even though we were just content with our entrees for the time being. He would not go away even when I asked for a minute to look at the menu. So we just asked for bread to get him to stop pressuring us. He said we should order appetizers because it would take 20 minutes to prepare our meals, when it took a lot less time. Throughout our meal, the waiters and manager kept laughing at us, making us even more uncomfortable and our meal not enjoyable. We also ordered water, and typically glass bottled water should come unopened. However, the bottle came to the table already opened. Upon further inspection, as you can see by my photos, the bottle looks used, which led us to believe they refill their bottles. At this point, our interactions with Gaitan and the manager were uncomfortable and unfriendly. We obviously did not want to stay any longer for desserts or an espresso because of our interactions with them. Upon paying for the bill, Gaitan took a photo of us. Clearly even more uncomfortable, we took a photo of the restaurant and their staff. As we were leaving the restaurant, the manager follows us outside and starts yelling "you act like a King and you're not a King by only ordering pasta and octopus and taking up two tables." This was also confusing since we were sat at the four person table to begin with and the restaurant was practically empty. It was highly unprofessional. I'm surprised this restaurant is rated so highly when it comes off as them wanting to squeeze money out of customers and treating them poorly if they don't want to. Obviously going into the restaurant after reading reviews, we expected to spend a decent amount. But after our hostile and uncomfortable interactions, we didn't want to spend any more time than we had to there.

    Get the octopus. It came with honey, caramelized red onions, so interesting and unique.

    Both the manager and waiter were racist. The food was not good, overall this was a bad experience. Avoid eating here if you're not Italian.

    The Cacio e Pepe at this restaurant changed the way I look at food forever. Up to this point I…read morethought I knew what good pasta tasted like but never did I know I could be so ignorant. I will on now refer to the timeline of my life as pre and post II Corallo.

    Located just outside the historic city center near Piazza Navona (one of the busiest and most…read moretouristic zones in Rome), Il Corallo is a classic Roman pizzeria/trattoria with a slightly more polished exterior that hints at its popularity. Inside, the space is larger and more bustling than your typical small trattoria, with tightly packed tables and a lively dining room with old-fashioned stone walls and a rustic fireplace. The vibe is energetic and social: perfect for groups or a casual dinner with a bit of atmosphere. The menu is extensive, with pizzas, pastas, antipasti, and large-format appetizers, and there's also a long menu of daily specials that feature some more adventurous dishes (trippa alla romana, anyone?). The specials menu is in Italian, but our server was more than happy to clarify anything for us. Three of us opted for their pizzas, all of which seem to be the Romano style of a thinner and crispier crust (as compared to the Napoletano style of a thicker, fluffier crust). The Diavola (€9) is a simple pizza topped with a thin layer of cheese and savory pepperoni; the Margherita (€8) is your classic thin-crust strewn with fresh mozzarella, herbaceous basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Lastly, my Broccoli e Salsiccia Pizza (€12) was a bit more "out there", with mozzarella, roasted broccoli rabe, and herbed sausage on a white base. I appreciated the novel flavor combination, but found the pizza overly greasy. Two members of our party tried their pasta options; the Spaghetti all'Amatriciana (€12) is al dente spaghetti with a bright, acidic tomato sauce, crispy bacon, and tangy Parmesan. The Cacio e Pepe (€12) is tonnarelli (egg pasta) served in a creamy, cheesy sauce with freshly ground black pepper, and Il Corallo's version comes in a delightful nest of crispy Parmesan. Il Corrallo falls into the affordable price range, offering solid value for a sit-down meal in central Rome. It's slightly off-the-beaten path but still just steps away from some of Rome's most famous destinations, serving up delicious food with friendly service; a definite recommendation if you're in the area!
