I'll admit, I was skeptical at first. Based on the reviews and the fact that no one around us had food when we sat down at 7:00 PM, I worried this might be a tourist trap. It took a little while to get someone's attention initially, but once the water arrived and our orders were taken, everything changed. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The Puttanesca was one of my favorite meals of the entire trip--I'm still thinking about it! Despite the mixed reviews and the slow start to service, we had a great experience and a wonderful meal. If you can be patient for those first few minutes, the pizza and pasta is well worth the wait. read more

Located in a great area close to the Spanish steps, we found this very nice outdoor restaurant in Rome to grab dinner. They had a Hugo Boss collab, I think Boss bought out the restaurant recently. The street was lovely with some great shops to admire while seated (of course had to visit the shops after the meal). The food wasn't absolutely amazing but it was still delicious, great pizza, quality ingredients, it was very relaxing. I just wish the service was better, it's like they had a bunch of new staff that were young and didn't know what they were doing. We were extremely polite but they were constantly forgetting stuff we ordered or asked for and there were some items we said forget it, it's too late, but there were some things that we needed to be corrected -we ordered a large bottle of sparkling water, they instead brought a large bottle of still water and poorer it for us and we said that's not what we ordered. I ordered a cocktail and that didn't arrive until I asked 3 times for it (my fiancé already finished his first drink). I asked for ice and lemon with the water and they brought ice but no lemon, etc. they were just extremely forgetful and didn't care when they messed up. For the service alone I knocked off 2 stars. I hope everyone else has a better experience with service here. read more

I cannot tell you how lucky we were that this wonderful cafe was just steps away from our hotel. We went there most every morning of our stay for delicious cappuccino and the most amazing pastry you will ever taste. We were also fortunate to have been befriended the masterful pastry chef's son - Emmanuel. He was so charming & delightful, he made every morning that much better. This is a must - the pastry is to die for & the food & gelato are excellent as well. read more

If you're American and you're visiting Italy and you want to eat rubbish then go to this place. The service sucks. They get upset with you if you wanna sit inside where it's cooler instead of sweat your balls off out underneath the canopy and the food is horrible. You can only eat so many freaking black truffle mushrooms before you get sick of it. When you ask for meat in your pasta, they give you three tiny pieces Maybe a spoonful. And get upset with you because you asked to add meat to your pasta. Bottom line is the food in Rome taste like shit. They don't know what seasoning is and everything taste like it's five days old. Maybe it's because they don't like to chill anything or use air conditioning or use ice or anything like that. Overall, another night of horrible food with rude service in the city of Rome. read more

Dirty bathrooms, slow service, staff not dressed well, food over priced & ave quality. Wouldn't go back. Don't recommend .

Went there for breakfast today. I must say I have to change my review. Customer service was at the top and American breakfast was awesome. We were in a rush to get to the airport and they accommodated us. We enjoyed Americano and omelette and toasted bread with jam and Nutella. Seating area was also ready to serve at 7 am in the morning! read more

Tired from all the luxury shopping? Trying to figure out if you want the YSL bag, LV wallet or Louie Boutin shoes? Need to take a piss? Stop by this cafe right across these luxury shops and order a glass of wine or Spritzer. They give you light appetizers along with the drinks. read more

Can only speak for the gelato but a great place to cook off and get strawberry gelato. Most places it tastes somewhat fake, but here it is very fresh tasting and quite good. It's a good people watching place and inside is nice and cool on a hot day. read more

Walking through the streets last night and ran across this place. Looked at the menu that was posted and the meals at a few of the tables, looked worth the stop. I will agree with one reviewer about the high prices, but it does compare to others in the area. We enjoyed our meal, the service and people watching. We didn't have any desserts, but they looked awesome. I would recommend you give it a try. read more

Superb Roman gelateria and cafe with tons of character! Let me paint a picture for you... Saxophone being played in the background, little bistro tables with umbrellas to block the shade, Italian hospitality, gelato and coffee delicacies and a romantic place to be while sharing with your significant other the sun sets... We ran into Vitti by surprise after visiting Spanish Steps. It was such a pleasant surprise! We sat outside because of the nice ambiance and no wait. I ordered a gelato desert that was amazing and my husband a ristretto shot (what we call a cortadito). Server was extremely pleasant despite not speaking any English. We worked together to make the order work and everything was perfect! I would totally go back in a heart beat! read more

After napping away the afternoon, my fiance and I ventured out in search of food. It was our first night in Rome and all we wanted was a delicious bowl of authentic pasta and pizza. We walked around the neighborhood we were staying and found a few cafes and wandering into Vitti. Their patio was packed and we ended up taking a small table inside. It was so nice and peaceful. I ordered the spaghetti with red sauce and bacon and my fiance ordered the calzone with the diabla salami. Both were super delicious. Our server was friendly and came by often to see if we needed anything, which can be rare in Europe. The food hit the spot and I am hoping we have great food this entire trip. read more

The outdoor seating is in a wonderful courtyard and table side heaters are provided in cooler weather. The staff is very helpful in selection of dishes but only if asked. The food was served piping hot and was delicious. Prices including the wine and dessert was very reasonable. Worth the experience. read more

Wonderful service, food, and ambience. The pizzas are homemade fresh and made to order. The dough was squishy enough to tell it was baked fresh but also crispy to have a nice texture. I would recommend getting a pizza to share with a group in addition to a salad or appetizer. read more

I guess reviews are in the eye of the beholder. This is a great breakfast place within walking distance from the Piazza di Spagna. Close enough to be walkable and yet far enough to not be a touristy place. Fresh croissants, fresh squeezed orange juice to name just two of my favorite items. The display is full of fresh pastries and paninis that make you salivate. A bit pricey (30 Euros for a light breakfast for 2 including 6 Euros for an OJ) but then again what isn't in this area. Overall a great place for some fresh pastries and outdoor seating. read more

I really like the Vitti. It is my second time and I have not yet been disappointed. If you are near the Pantheon and you are hungry: it's a safe choice for great traditional Italian food. And I mean traditional - not hip. But traditional in a great way - very good soups, pasta and even the pizza is to be recommended. I will come back again. read more

We went here on a refferal from our air Bnb host. We ordered the breakfast that came with panini croissant and coffee. Mid way through my girlfriend pulled a hair out of her mouth, in shock and completely disgusted. We mentioned it to the waiter an older gentleman, he insinuated it was my hair and In no way could have been anyone there since it wasn't of their hair color as I saw them all have darker hair as the nastiness we found. We didn't make a scene. Needless to say we were both grossed out didn't touch anything else. Very disappointed on how this was handled. The waiter insinuated he would take care of it. We called the bill as I was expecting to cover the coffee at least. We got the full charge on the bill even though we left most of everything untouched. Very disappointed at the customer service. Would definitely NOT recommend this place unless u want to chew on hair and get accused of placing it. Zero stars. Stay away. read more

Bad service, poor tasting Margherita's, dry chicken, and fries that seem to come from a bag. Overall very underwhelming.

Me and my wife sat here for 45 mins waiting for our meal. Horrible service. We asked for our bill and the server said it'd be right over. He then met a couple that were there the night before and began to wine and dine them for tips. We asked for our bill on two more occasions and got it 20 mins later. We have been in Italy for 3 weeks and this is the worst service we have encountered. Stay away from this horrible place. However, food was good. read more

Awful! Terrible service. Waiters that are uninterested in helping you rudely talking to each other while supposedly helping you. Food just terrible. I can get better frozen lasagna in the states. Limited wine menu and they were out of half of it. While it is a cute setting in the piazza I would avoid. read more

Tourist Trap We were seated at the last available table in the back with a bathroom view. Okay, so we are hungry...you say, just face the other way...so we did, only to later realize the bathroom actually had a door! What confuses me even more is why management walked by so many times and didn't shut the door and/or the curtain in front if it. A patron finally shut the door. The gnocchi with four cheeses was nothing special. The chicory with raisins and pine nuts was actually made with almonds. They must have thought "Dumb American's they won't know."...but yes, these very smart American Italians did know, and were not going to pay 10 Euro for chicory and almonds! The waiter did "check with the kitchen" LOL and remove it from our bill after my husband politely explained the cost of pine nuts vs. the cost of almonds. So, pay the bill and get out you would think, right? Nooooo...Another waiter takes the check, sticks the cash in the drawer and never comes back with the change! Then, when my husband asked about the change, he has the nerve to say he never looked at the bill! We did leave the table waiter a nice tip for taking the chicory off of the bill. Management may believe they are a top quality restaurant, however, management forgot what he learned about customer satisfaction. Bravo TripAdvisor! Hopefully, I won't get the same canned response others have received here from management and they will take reviews more seriously. read more

My favorite place for pizza in Rome! Order the wurstel pizza. Also best pistachio & bacio (nutella) gelato in town, definitely homemade. Great part of Rome, cute piazza read more

The place itself is situated in a beautiful piazza, but the food is far sub par. We ordered a pizza which was mediocre at best, and a hamburger which was the kind you buy frozen at the supermarket and heat in a microwave. Felt somewhere in between a tourist trap-restaurant and just not good. We haven't tried the ice-cream nor the coffee, so we can't attest to their quality. read more

Great pasta! Great pizza! Service was pretty slow last night! First course pasta was served after 25 mins and second course pizza 25 mins after we were done the first. Nonetheless, good food and nice waiters! read more

We so enjoyed the people who work at this restaurant. They made us feel at home. And the cheese/meat platter, pizzas, pasta, and eggplant Parmesan were excellent, too. My husband had the Forst beer and loved it. The ambience was perfect. We sat under a large umbrella in the middle of the plaza, perfect temp, and was in a relatively quiet area. read more

My carbonara had a bad taste. I was sick all the afternoon after I ate it. Tons of birds eating on the tables as well, kinda disgusting.

Perfect for dolci! Loved it. Great location. Perfect little pastry bar.

Got vegetarian pizza and the veggies were fantastic, good crust! Molto bene! Fair prices and outside seating. Casual and open later.
