8/10A nice spot to eat, good service, but the loud rap music playing in the background was distracting.

5.5/10Staff 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.

10/10The 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.

10/10We 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!

8/10It was open late and the service was good. You could hear the locals chatting away on wine. I ordered the risotto but it was too salty for my taste.

10/10The food is amazing. We shared the steak tartare, and followed with the duck and lamb, finishing with tiramisu. The lamb was melt in the mouth, the duck flavoursome and the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had.

4/10We was “greeted” by a very rude man who simply put his hand up as a STOP and continued to sip a glass of white wine at the bar I’m not sure why we even stayed for dinner honestly The service was indifferent, aloof and brash. The food was mediocre at best. Would NOT recommend

3.5/10The food was awful. We ordered 2 appetizers (meatballs and cheesecake). The cheesecake appetizer (which we ordered because of good reviews) was so bad we took two bites and left the rest. The meatballs were odd. The waiter provided good service but he kept coughing into his hand. We left after appetizers and had dinner elsewhere. I do not know how this restaurant has such good reviews!

10/10Had made reservations online for Friday at 7:30 pm. seated immediately. Small restaurant but clean. Ordered a red wine 36 euros for bottle. very good. could taste first. i ordered Spaghetti with truffle. loved it. Bread comes with meal. No butter even though we asked for it. we are not fans of olive oil and parmaggianno. my husband had the best lasagna. he ate every bit of it. Glad we chose this restaurant. Are Americans so probably. won’t be back for years. Worth trying though.

5.5/10We were looking forward to visiting Sistina 52 because the reviews were so great. I ordered the shrimp pasta appetizer which I really didn't like (and they graciously took it off the bill) and the grilled octopus. The octopus was so overdone that it was almost impossible to chew. My husband ordered the lamb which he thought had great flavor, but again, so overcooked (he ordered it rare and it came well done). The restaurant was really hot. Service was ok - just not very attentive. There were several different people involved, but once the food came, we couldn't find anyone to get more water, etc. There are so many great restaurants in the area, I would recommend choosing a different one.

10/10We had a wonderful meal. It surpassed our expectations and the waiters wine recommendation was spot on. Would definitely visit again should we travel back to Rome.

10/10The food was extremely good. We ordered the cheese appetizers and the meatballs (totally recommend). Also we got the lasagna (10/10), the lamb, the fish and the octopus. All the food was great and the Pinot wine made it even better. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

6/102 out of 4 dishes were good, 2 were bland. Especially dry was the pasta. The gnocchi was insipid. With just 2 waiters attending over 10 tables, the service was slow and long.

4.5/10We ask for the recomandation for food and we go for beef steak. The meat was half fat and when we get the bill we pay 30 euros for this.

10/10The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was fun and upscale, and the service was great. Our cocktails were delicious and the server suggested to us an off-menu wine that was very good with our meal at a reasonable price.

10/10The restaurant has a classy vibe from the get-go, made even better by excellent food. Quick note - they accommodated our reservation for 14 people (teens, little children, adults from three families) and sat us in a semi-private seating area, which was wonderful. Now to the food - slow cooked lamb chops, spaghetti pasta in a rich shrimp bisque sauce with perfectly cooked pieces of shrimp, duck breast with fig sauce, lasagna in ragu, oysters on the half shell - all excellent and well made. Seems like you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu! Capped off by warm service (thank you, Mark!), this was a Roman experience our group of three families will not easily forget.

10/10This was a great find for our family. It was very close to where we were staying and had great reviews on the Fork. I see why. The food was excellent. Try the Tuna Cheesecake appetizer. You won’t be disappointed!!! So much value for the price.

10/10Warm welcome and full attention from all the staff. Great Italian menu and a drink card that wouldn’t disappoint you. We enjoyed a great 3 meal dinner with burrata and salat as starters, beef and lamb for secondaries. For dessert delicious pavlova with peach followed by the best double espresso. Just a head up their wine card is great and affordable and please ask for their special Italian dessert wine as well.
