    Unfortunately this beautifully located restaurant across the street from the colosseum is nothing more than a disappointing tourist trap. The food is embarrassingly unauthentic and over priced. The servers are non responsive and disinterested in any level of customer satisfaction. The pasta was over salted and the Margarette pizza easily had two cups of cheese with two pieces of basil placed on top. When they saw I had not taken more than one bite they blamed me and said that’s the way the make it. No other offers to try and make our experience better. Simply handed me my 89 eu bill for a pizza, two pasta dishes, a bottle of water, a soda and two drinks. Shame on you, you give Italian dining a bad name.

    Lovely restaurant with a view of the colosseum. We arrived early to our reservation and they let us choose where to sit to have the best view. Service was quick and attentive, and the food was nice - the only downside was my chicken in the fettuccine alfredo which tasted a bit rubbery and bland. Other than that it was lovely.

    It was my daughter's 21st birthday and it could not have been more perfect. The staff was gracious, and the food was delicious and well presented. Our table was inside but looking out at the Collesium. The interior is beautiful with murals of gladiators and Roman scenes. Very special dinner for us!

    The service was super super slow. After about 10 minutes of being seated we had to ask someone if we could order. A couple got seated next to us and they ended up leaving because no one had come to greet them or take their order. It seemed like they had a lot of staff and it wasn’t very busy so I’m not sure why it took so long.

    Overall a good experience. Note: Even though 'fork pay' is listed as an option, they do not accept fork pay!! This was a huge hassle after our meal.

    This restaurant is great. The staff is very amicable and kind, the food is great. I especially recommend the gnocchi with asparagus, you can have it without meat if you are a vegetarian. They were the best gnocchi I have had! The prices are also quite good. We had a 50% off for booking it with the fork, but even without it, it wasn’t too expensive. We spent 25€ instead of 50€ (2 people). The only thing I don’t recommend is the cheap wine glass. If you really want wine, better to get a good bottle. We had a bottle of wine of the house at another restaurant and it was very very good for the price. Highly recommend this place!

    Nice restaurant, good food but a very bad service. The waitress was not in a good mood and made ugly faces every time we asked for something. She even wanted to charged us the service and asked us to leave the restaurant when we refused, with the excuse that she had another table waiting! But of course, when we left they had lot of free tables and no people wanted to come in!! Definitely make us the worst experience so far and changed our opinion related to the food and bar service.

    Amazing atmosphere, directly enjoying the coliseum view while having dinner. The personnel was very friendly and the food was good. Even the atmosphere inside the restaurant is very nice with walls covered in Roman gladiators art. You won't have the best meal of your life, but it's definitely worth the price and with 50% discount with the fork it's an absolute deal.

    This was an ultimate tourist trap. Food was mediocre and cold when it arrived because it probably sat for a long time. Service was slow and terrible. The table location was not good and very noisy. The restaurant was very empty. The food mediocre at best. Ordered clams and many were closed or did not open. The portion of. Soup was small. There was no good reason to return here.

    Excellent food and local decoration. With the discount of " The Fork" the price very good, without it would be expensive. The only thing wrong was that it was too hot and the fan was not enough. Surely repeat. The Best plate was Al Gladiattore salad ( pear, nuts, cheese, rucula, bacon, chicory)

    Pricey tourist trap with view of the Colosseum. Seafood salad came with surimi (!?) and spaghetti with clams was not al dente - both uncharacteristic of the Italian cuisine. Otherwise the fried shrimp & squid was average (€20!) and the Amatriciana pasta was the 'highlight' of meal, just by being done right.
