Bar Pasticceria L'Orchidea In Roma

18/02/2025: Our group got ripped off at an outrageous price in Venice. The hotel was a wall view, the weather was windy and rainy, and we paid almost 90 euros for pasta, fried food, and beer. In Rome, we decided to use our Italian-speaking friend's chance to not get ripped off! We asked him to find a neighborhood restaurant that was close to our accommodation at Termini Station, where there were no tourists, and where it wasn't expensive! We ordered according to our savior's choice! The result was a great success! As soon as we opened the door to the restaurant and entered, there were handsome students with a ROTC vibe sitting and eating, and it felt like regulars from the neighborhood! The main reason our group failed to order in Venice was because the internet was down, so we couldn't use a translator. This restaurant also had a QR menu, so we could use a translator, and we were able to order without the help of a translator. This restaurant makes noodles by hand, so they feel like udon noodles, and the cheese has a deep flavor. I can confidently say that this is the best Cacho e Pepe in Rome. As the name of this restaurant suggests, it is home cooking, mom's cooking? Perhaps because of this, the food was not salty and especially good. I ate until I was full, but it only cost 38 euros! Everything was satisfactory, but the best thing was that the staff was friendly and not burdensome. I was grateful that they were willing to take pictures for us. If I have the chance, I want to visit again and eat trippa or fist-sized meatballs, which are the equivalent of tomato intestine soup.

07/02/2025: Excellent restaurant with Roman specialties. We returned without having booked and we were able to eat. The service was perfect and the food too. Grazie Mille!
