    This is an outdoor cafe with a very busy sidewalk right through the middle of it. Service was all over the place: we waited over an hour for someone to take our order and then the staff tried twice to bring us other people’s orders. The zucchini flower had a strong fishy taste, but the arancini were good. We enjoyed our wine and Pinsa but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    In the past I’ve had great sandwiches for takeout. Today I sat down for a delicious bucatino amatriciana. It a place very close to the Piazza San Pietro!

    The restaurant is clearly past it's prime. The food was okay but the waiter was very slow, distracted, and from time to time rude. The wine was good though.

    The food and drinks were great! Our server was very nice, however, he forgot to put in our food order and we waited an extra hour before we got our food. They fixed that and apologized profusely. There was also supposed to be a discount at the end but when our server checked with the manager he said there was no discount to be given. I imagine this was because when we began our meal, a discount was offered through the app, but because we were there for a little longer than two hours they were not offering a discount at that time. We could have argued the point but by then we were tired and just wanted to leave.

    Nice staff, good authentic food, reasonably priced and a huge choice. Definitely worth a visit when in Rome. 2 Starter, 2 main courses, 1 dessert, 1 bottle of good White wine, 2 bottles water and 1 dessert was 92.50€. After deduction of the 20% discount of The Fork we paid 74€. We received a greeting from the kitchen at the beginning and were given a sweet goodbye bite at the end.

    Good service, kind gentleman serving us. But the food was disappointing, especially the risotto and the pinsa, not the kind of dishes you expect not to be good in Rome.

    At the begging we were served with bruscetta with tomatoes and glass of prossecco. It was very nice surprise. We ordered deep fried cod filet, lasagna, minestrone soup and tortellini ragu. When fish was served it ooccured that it is ice cold inside but immiadetelly it was replaced with another one well done, it was very tasty. Lasagna and minestrone soup were hot and delicious also as gnocchi ragu, which was served instead of tortellini cause waiter told that's is not available. We also drunk hot tea, water and white wine.

    As soon as we entered this restaurant we were greeted by a very kind man. We received really good service from everyone and the food was well made! At the beginning they served us wine and brusietta and at the end they gave us a lemon dessert on the house. All those for free. The atmosphere was very nice and it felt very comfortable.

    We loved the Wine Bar di Penitenzieri for breakfast on way to Vatican for Mass and from Pope Francis’ Sunday message. Starter of bruschetta and a sparkling wine tasting was great. We had gnocchi-it was delicious. Had Caprese salad as well, very good. service impeccable!

    I think this was, by far, the best restaurant experience I've ever had, for several reasons (it's going to be long ????) First of all, shout out to our AMAZING waiter Alessandro, the one reaponsible for making our dinner so memorable. With my sister we visited Rome on a very tight budget, so we were using this app so as to save some money with the discounts, and we also chose to share some plates and even a single bottle of coke, to save a couple euros. Alessandro not only perfectly understood that we wanted to share everything that we ordered, providing two glasses for the coke, two bowls for the soup, and two plates for the pizza, but ALSO gifted us a drink and a bruschetta to each of us as an appetizer saying "it's one for each, no need to share!! Welcome", and finally a limoncello sort of dessert. He also brought every course at a perfect timing, one right after the other. Finally, he also helped us get a taxi to the bus station, again, right on time, as we told him by what time we needed to be there (quite soon) I cannot stress enough how amazing of a last dinner in Rome it was, specially thanks to Alessandro's kindness! Will definitely go back on our next visit to Rome, and I highly recommend it! 10/10!

    I was glad I'd booked as the place was busy, but I was quickly shown to my seat. I enjoyed a meal of bruschetta, pasta and coffee. It was tasty and the service was good.

    Food was lovely. The staff didn’t seem particularly happy and were more friendly to Italian people compared to British.
