Everyone else in the restaurant got good service but us, we waited for 45 minutes to get asked for dessert menus etc, but they never did. Food was great but didn’t really enjoy the service unfortunately. We could really see how our waiter ingored us and never came back to us 😄

Excellent restaurant a stones throw away from the top of the Spanish Steps. Food & service both outstanding - and who doesn’t like a bit of Frank Sinatra as background music - not too loud to spoil the ambience. Definately one for the list

The food was delicious, of course. The staff were even more helpful. It's also close to Plaza España, so I highly recommend it.

From the buratta to the risotto to the lamb chops and eggplant parm, everything was molto delizioso! One word of caution, They don’t always sell wine by the glass — if they have an open bottle they’ll gladly pour one for you but otherwise it’s by the bottle only.

We went there for a quick dinner, as we were in the area and we were suggested this restaurant as the closest. The food was excellent and the waiting stuff as well. There were three of them. Very welcoming and lovely, despite the fact that we arrived so late.

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.

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.
