View in the restaurant is amazing! We ordered pizza’s and they were quite good. Had some different tastes than other places, but we tasted a lot better pizzas in other places.

A great location over looking the coliseum. Welcomed at entrance and offered a cocktail whilst booking checked. Escorted up to the terrace. Beautiful laid out with a stunning view. Blankets offered when chilli. We sat outside but as it rained they were able to re locate us still outside but under the heated canopy. Excellent choice of food and wines. Great service. Food quality was very good and good advice given by the waiter service. .

Lovely view. I ordered a salad and there was some plastic wrapper in my salad. I ordered the lobster pasta and received a lukewarm pasta with a lobster shell which had zero meat inside so it was basically pasta with a lobster shell for decoration we did have a bottle of wine knocked off the bill as well as the salad but it was disappointing as this was a birthday meal

Amazing view, most of the meals were decent. The heaters outside don't work because they don't have gas for them. 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't recommend the 6-course tasting program, which they told us we had to buy if we wanted a table with the best view. I requested service a couple of weeks in advance, told them we were going to be a party of 5 and that we would need an invoice for a company, and sent all the details. For some reason, the table was ready for 4 people, and the invoice was a problem after all.

Made this reservation with much excitement as it is situated directly across from the Colosseum & we requested an upstairs terrace table which was available. The experience started out good with a complimentary glass of sangria downstairs as we headed up to the terrace. Unfortunately I have to say this is where the experience went down. While the servers started attentive, that slowly waned after ordering. We had a cocktail, a bottle of wine, two starters & two entrees. For starters, the tortilla wrapped vegetables were tasty, butt it was literally one small wraps of wok-cooked veges in a tortilla for €7 & the baby calamari was almost all popcorn sized breading and was brought to the table cold. (This won’t be the first cold item we were served) but we pressed thru without making a fuss because it was only about a handful or so of the cold calamari anyway, for €9. For entrees, the cacio e pepe was also brought to the table COLD, already solidifying and congealing into one pasta solid, and this time we did tell the server, which he took back only to return with a SLIGHTLY warmer (seemed microwaved) plate of the exact dish. It clearly wasn’t remade in the 3 minutes it took them to return with it “warmed” as it was still in the same congealed condition as previously. The tempura shrimp, while actually hot, seemed like it had been cooked from frozen and laid on a bed of the same wok vegetables from the tortilla starter. While tasty, 7 or 8 frozen shrimp on a thin layer of vegetables simply shouldn’t be €20. To cap it off, when we asked for the now €100 bill, a new different server brought the check while literally vaping an e-cigarette while I maneuvered the card machine. It was shockingly unprofessional. I know it’s Rome, and smoking it second nature, but for a server to bring and use an e-cigarette to one’s table just seemed like the rotten cherry on top of a very abysmal experience. From a very hospitality driven city, this is clearly just a tourist trap with no real culinary or hospitality expertise. Wouldn’t recommend.

Service was bad, waitresses were very rude. The first service arrived fast but I didn’t get to finish it the server arrived with the second plate while I was still eating. And then we waited more then 50 min for the main dish, and same for dessert. We paid in advance to have a table at the terrace. We were misplaced in the beginning. The food was okay but nothing special. Most of it was too salty or not enough. The view was great but that’s about it. Disappointed

Fabulous location, and surprisingly good value for delicious food & wines. Definitely pre book and ask for a rooftop table, as you’ll have a perfect view of the Colosseum . We’ll definitely return when next in Rome.

Our servers were very helpful in recommending dishes as well as wine pairings. The food and wine were delicious. The atmosphere was sophisticated and the view of the Colosseum was breathtaking from the terrace!

Sat upstairs with a view of the colosseum, food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely even though it was poring down (rain). I would definitely go back but! All the staff were great apart from the lady upstairs who was dressed like a manager (also wearing an earpiece etc) please smile and pay attention to your customers!

There are better places to eat with better food and lower prices. But the view is really what you are paying for. It is peaty because if food was better along with the already spectacular view then the whole experience would have been more memorable
