Waiter was awesome. We started our 4 days in Rome at this restaurant and had such a great experience we decided it would be our final dinner here as well. Did not disappoint. Food, service, ambiance, all 5 stars.

Lovely local restaurant and great service from the welcoming staff. They were very accommodating of food allergies and were able talk to me about changes they could make to the menu. Overall a wonderful evening!

IF YOU DON’T PLAN TO SPEND A LOT, DON’T GO! Before my trip, I studied Italian culture and dining etiquette extensively, and I can confidently say I made no mistake or behaved disrespectfully in any way. At first, we were greeted with a smile, but soon bread and drinks were brought as if complimentary — only to be charged for them later. I repeatedly asked for the bill, yet we were ignored for about 30 minutes while the staff warmly chatted with other tables and avoided ours entirely. The dishes looked nothing like the photos and tasted strange. We ordered two main courses and two drinks, but it felt as if we were being looked down on for ordering “too little.” Many tourists leave good reviews because they spend a lot at tourist restaurants. But if you simply want a normal meal, I strongly advise against this place: their attitude changes depending on how much you spend, the quality of the food drops, and it can ruin your day.

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.
6.0
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.

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.

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.
