Bacco al Pretorio

Restaurant

😠 this place is a total tourist scam and I doubt how it got such a high rating on google review. Ordered a steak tartare, red shrimp pasta and a ribeye. Steak tartare was ok. The red shrimp pasta was extremely salty and heavy. The waiter told us it was because of the cheese used. Still it was not a go...

Sgarro Bistrot

Restaurant

👍👍 Great little lunch spot at a decent price. Wife is vegetarian and had Brucschetta with the pesto Gnocchi. Me and kids had the calamari and prawns (massive portion!) followed by sharing the seafood risotto. Lots of interesting pasta options and we where served complimentary glass of prosecco and fizz...

MAGA Cucina di Mare - Wine Bar

Fish restaurant

😠 Un aperitivo con amici...un disastro! Peccato il locale è molto carino. Il personale disattento, approssimativo direi. I cocktail da cancellare: mojito mandato indietro e non pagato, ovviamente. I miei commensali sono stati troppo buoni, io avrei mandato tutto indietro. Il cibo era al limite della t...

Verso Italian Coffee Home

👍👍 We had a chicken salad sandwich and a cafe americano. It was fresh and great. My husband had a glass of white wine. Super! Very friendly, clean cafe bar. We sat outside at the cafe seating. Beautiful, relaxing and clean. One of our favorite places in Roma.

Carre monti

Bistro

👍 Much more quite cafe compared to the more popular cafés in the neighborhood, but not less impressive. The available different types of croissants are less then the competitors but not less tasty. Good coffee, friendly staff and good outdoor and indoor seating available.

Pizza120 di Paganelli Alvaro

Pizza restaurant

👍👍 Scoperto con thefork, confermo le ottime recensioni già fatte. A cena in quattro, abbiamo preso due pizze gourmet, con quattro gusti diversi, due per ogni pizza. Quattro birre alla spina ed una bottiglia di acqua. Una pizza è per due persone ed è più che sufficiente. Impasto ben lievitato ed ingredi...

Terra di Siena

Restaurant

👍👍 The best dining experience we’ve had in Rome. The food is authentic and delicious. The environment is cozy and the service was great. The homemade fettuccine with seafood (which is in today’s special) was absolutely amazing. The cherry tomatoes and seafood were fresh and well-seasoned. The lasagna w...

The Donkey #16

Cocktail bar

😐 I visited The Donkey last week together with my friends. The location itself was okay and the staff was very friendly. The recommended cocktail was unfortunately way too bitter (meaning of me and my friends). All in all 3/5 stars.

Core Bistrot

Bistro

👍👍 Per descrivere il Core non basterebbe un vocabolario di complimenti. È un bistrot completo, che offre sia una cucina romana bistrot rivisitata (de core) sia un comparto mixology ricercato e al tempo stesso molto accessibile. Consigliatissimo per orario aperitivo, che è fenomenale. È un aperitivo g...
