    Excellent food, the seafood-pasta was delicious! Nice staff, our waitor Angelo was amazing and showed us and our children a amazing last night in Roma. If we return to Roma, we will 100% visit La lampada again.

    During our visit to Rome, we dined at La Lampada on two consecutive nights. Night One: Angelo, our waiter, made the evening special despite the food not being the best and our portions appearing smaller than those served to others. His exceptional service made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Night Two: The food portions were more consistent with other patrons and tasted better than the first night. However, because we didn’t have Angelo, the service was lackluster, making us feel like just other tourists. To add to the disappointment, the manager was annoyed about our Fork discount and only applied 10% instead of the promised 20%. Summary: If you visit, ask for Angelo and confirm your discount upon arrival. Also, the house red wine is quite good.

    The service was attentive, if not a bit pushy. The food was barely edible and we unfortunately had to leave it. The gnocchi was mushy, the sauce was bad and the meatballs were bland and tasted wrong. The artichoke tasted watery and lacked flavor And the seafood antipasto had tiny portions with NO flavor. We walked out as fast as we could.

    The pasta was delicious and the location was perfect. The staff was personable and attentive, with the exception of the amount of time it took to receive our bill. Overall we had a great experience.

    Really nice athmosphere and good service. Simple and nice food with good price. Pasta was a bit too less cooked, but generally very good food. Small payment issues with Fork voucher, but in the end everything was handled well.

    Our waiter had a delightful personality. But the food was a bit inconsistent. My wife's and my pasta were good, but my sesame tuna was not so great and another diner said the same dish was better the previous evening.

    No greeting. We told them we made a reservation through The Fork and they did not even ask our opinion and forced us out saying only "OUTSIDE" "OUTSIDE" Gave us a horrible table in the corner where it wasnt set up when inside the restaurant was half empty. There was a mini food? bar with flies flying around. Also felt racism vibe - strongly. I would never recommend it to anyone

    We had a wonderful meal ..all 4 of us ordered different things and everyone enjoyed their dinner immensely. The waiter was fun and efficient . He was proud to have spent several years in Essex our home county and we laughed about some of the memories. I had the swordfish which was great. Prices were very good. If you are in the Flavia area I would recommend.

    We found this restaurant from a recommendation from our driver into town and it was absolutely fantastic. Great food and phenomenal service. Clear we were tourists but they treated us like family. Would highly recommend trying.

    Discovered this around the corner from our hotel. Wonderful food, friendly staff, it felt like we were dining in someone's home. Liesurely, unhurried pace. Excellent bread, wine, primo & secondi piatti. Roman artichokes were awesome. A hidden gem on a small side street.

    This restaurant was very close to where we were staying. We were looking to eat where the locals ate. We saw on a previous day a Confirmation Party was in full swing, so we made our booking! Our welcome was warm and friendly and our waiter struck up conversation straight away. Our food was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and my desert came complete with a candle and complimentary Lemonchello & a verse of "Happy Birthday". Would highly recommend and would definitely return.
