    7.5/10

    Waiters were quick to serve us and made an effort to understand and communicate with us. Food was good, not excellent. Little less tasty to other places at the same price range. Restaurant was a bit warm, air conditioning could be running stronger.

    Had a pasta dish (Mezze) and a pizza and boiled vegetable, side salad and focaccia bread. All dishes were fresh and tasty and the service was kind and responsive. Very good.

    The restaurant was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. Food was great and at a reasonable priced (we had a pizza and the sea bass). The staff was very cordial and efficient. Also seemed like a local joint and not too touristy, which is what we were looking for. Only drawback is that most of their wines are sold by the bottle and only two options in red that were sold by the glass. But those two options worked out for my husband and I. Highly recommend the place.

    We were not allowed to dine inside because we wore shorts and sneakers. The attendant told us aircon was not working but it was, i noticed when going inside to the restroom. I can understand a stricter dress code inside than in the terrace, but I hate when somebody lies to me or thinks I am dumb. Food was great as the previous 2 times I had been there, but this will be the 3rd and last.

    We were in Rome for 5 days and had dinner at Babbo 3 nights, mostly because of our waiter , Claudio who greeted us like old friends and ensured every aspect of our dining experience to be of the highest quality. Many thanks to him for making our birthdays the best!!

    Absolutely brilliant! The waiter we had was so knowledgeable, especially on the local fish, and attentive. Felt like we had met a friend he was so lovely and chatty. Have already recommended the restaurant to our friends should they visit Rome. Thank you so much!

    Food is fine and fairly priced. Hard sell to order starters was unwelcome and a bad way to start. Ambience was OK. Had to ask to change seating to good spot, in not very crowded setting, twice. Acoustics in back room were awful...could hear bellowing from other diners across the room .

    A pretty classic over-priced tourist trap. We were seated for 45 minutes before we got a drink, never offered water, and sold side dishes as though they were included. Avoid if possible.

    In spite of the fact that we were so happy about the restaurant, we were not offered the discount that we were entitled by having the initial online reservation via "thefork". Although I have shown the SMS that "thefork" has sent, the cashied didn't take it into consideration and didn't accept the discount.

    We had the Christmas menu. Most of what we got was cold by the time it arrived at the table. The entire menu was seafood and it wasn’t good.. Maybe the pizza is good but I wouldn’t return.

    Very nice local restaurant with great service (always impressed by staff that takes orders without noting it down, and remembers every detail) and food. Nice atmosphere although a bit warm inside the day we visited, hence a 4 on that topic. Recommend the place!

    Peter and his tray of fish was amazing. He was so informative and talked us through all the fish dishes. The food was really good as was the wine. The staff were amazing with my elderly mum, helping her up from her chair and up and down the steps

    Very good food and a great atmosphere. Service was attentive and friendly. Wine is good quality and very reasonable. I would recommend if you are in the area around the main station in Rome- lively are but the restaurant is not disturbed by the traffic.

    The restaurant was near my hotel and reviews looked great. I was not disappointed! The staff were welcoming and engaging. The carbonara was fantastic and the beef amazing and flavourful. Relaxed vibe and friendly waiters added to a great experience. Prices very reasonable.

    The service was the typical Roman indifference & all-business attitude. But the food was tasty, well prepared & appetizing. The price was fair, by Rome standards, though a little pricey, I thought, all things considered. I would eat there again.

    We made a reservation through the Fork, but the restaurant didn’t seem to have our reservation when we arrived. No problem as there were many tables available. The staff was very attentive. We had a pizza each - which were both very good. My only regret is that my 7 cheeses pizza did not include any type of gorgonzola or «green/blue» cheese. We asked the waitor to recommend a light italian red that suited the pizzas, and he got us a very nice one. When we didn’t finish the food they immediately asked if we wanted a box to bring the rest with us. Nice decor, low and nice music - liked this place a lot

    Good food, good service. The surrounding was not 100% ideal but then again it’s Rome. We had fritti misti di pesce and pizza. The pizza was really good and light. The price are ok fur such meal and the service was really good. Would come back.
