    you're not here for the food which is meh. No, you're here because it is across the street from the Coliseum and that's a view you can't get anywhere else. Arrive just before sunset and enjoy the splendor. You can't get bad food in Italy but you can get much better for sure.

    We sat outside with a view of the colosseum. Shaded by the building, breeze throughout lunch and great food and service. It was one of our favorite meals on our trip.

    Great view towards the Colosseum. Also good food, a bit expensive than other places but way compensated with the view

    Tasty ragú a la Bolognese, smaller portion than other places but I was ok and the price was just right. Dining with a view to the Colosseum is just amazing

    Totally disappointed — the service was awful. Several times they asked us about the reservation in a “disrespectful” tone, even though I had already clarified it was made through this app. They made us feel uncomfortable, and it didn’t happen just once or twice. The women’s bathroom had a horrible smell, like pee — minus 1000, I would never eat there again. The dishes are expensive for how extremely small and flavorless they are.

    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.
