Good food. Service a little slow and order slightly mixed up even though restaurant was quiet. Good prices for the quality though.

The service is great and the restaurant a place to relax and cool off! The food is good but the menus needs a litre more “daily specials” as it can become limited. More options means more visits!

Close to,our hotel, alas the unattractively set-up bar seating made us change our minds & have a relaxing drink before our dinner somewhere else. We shared a starter of vitalo tonnato to begin our meal that chef had decided to deconstruct- without revealing this on the written menu! So instead of the classic mayo & tuna sauce poured over the meat slices…we found odd blobs of mayo as well as separate blobs of seasoned tuna dropped over the rare, finely sliced veal (it was delicious!) ..that surprisingly was piled on another pile of…. sweated spinach !We did sort of like the whole thing..but it wasn’t really that harmoniously achieved, nor, more to the point ..described accurately on the written menu. My husband’s fish main was a tad undercooked-but he was ok with that ..I wouldn’t have been! My rigatoni main pasta with an ok pomodoro sauce wasn’t noteworthy except lardons of fried beef cheek had been scattered over it after plating ..so in fact it was -just- ok. Not recommended.

Food was pretty good. But the ambience and restaurant itself is lacking, it’s very brightly lit, and the service is mediocre. It’s a very basic place.

The food was excellent. Service was also excellent the staff was very attentive and friendly. The back room where we sat was a little stark in ambiance.

Nice little restaurant. Good food and good service. We enjoyed very good starters, but the main course was pretty basic. They have very limited choice of wine by the glass.

The food came out so quickly we didn’t have time to enjoy it. We ordered a bottle of wine and felt so rushed we ended up taking it with us to drink at home.

Thank you so much！ My experience in Sistina 52 is good，while I just have one question～ I have 30% discount for ordering through the fork，while when I made the payment，I was told that only the one dish can enjoy discount（actually the cheapest one can have 30% off），so I want to know if this is true，because I did not notice anything about this from the fork and I think 30% is for the whole bill （preset and drink excluded）

Great service, ambiance and food quality. Starter and dessert spot on, the main was a bit bland but that is down to personal preference, still the quality was there. On the high side but one learns that in Rome you pay very exorbitant prices usually for fish even if basic. Any how the quality of the good product is good. Definitely recommendable and to try again.

Lovely food with complimentary bread and a little sweet treat at the end. The restaurant was empty when we first arrived which resulted in the lower score, once others came in we couldn't fault it.

I had an excellent meal here, consisting of an artichoke a la Romana with codfish, followed by slow-cooked chicken with potatoes. A big thanks to Anne, my server, who was super helpful and friendly.

Staff did try to fill out our special request, but it was over priced. Sparkling wine was good, but staffs english was so bad that it was hard to set an order in. But they were very nice! Didn't try to "sell us" anything extra, maybe because of the language barrial. Maybe restaurant works for people who can speak italian. Food wasn't so good, that it would save the whole experience.

The food, the ambience was great, good selection of wines, of different pockets. We choose this restaurant for a pre-theatre dinner. A big thank goes to my hosts, Emanuele and Mark for the service. On all this restaurant is a must for people that are looking something particular, cosy and comfort. In Italy we say "coccolare* the clientele.

We had an outstanding dining experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious – the tuna tataki and beef tagliata were perfectly prepared, showcasing incredible flavors. The highlight of the meal, however, was the tiramisu – hands down the best I’ve ever had, and I’m someone who eats tiramisu often! To complement the meal, I enjoyed an excellent beer that paired wonderfully with the dishes. The service was impeccable from start to finish. A special mention goes to our waitress, a lovely lady from the Philippines, who was exceptionally kind and attentive. Her warm and friendly demeanor truly made the evening even more enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to her and the entire team for such a memorable experience. I can’t wait to return and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!
