Bla Kongo In Roma

08/03/2026: This restaurant is very centrally located, yet still quite quiet, almost hidden in a small square behind Via Po. It has numerous spacious and well-spaced outdoor tables, and the atmosphere is cheerful and relaxing. The menu offers everything from meat to pizza, including all sorts of delicacies. We ordered the crispy fries, which were well worth it! The fried artichoke, not my favorite since the outer leaves were too thick for my taste, and two truly delicious pizzas! Expertly cooked and with top-quality ingredients. For dessert, we chose the Nutella "zoccolette" (small pastries), which were delicious! And a meringue with strawberries and cream, which wasn't particularly impressive in presentation but was good. The service is efficient and courteous, and the numerous waiters are quick and friendly. I'd definitely say come and try it (make a reservation!); I'll be back.

20/02/2026: Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The food was quite authentic, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The seafood noodles and fried seafood were particularly well-prepared. I originally came specifically for the roasted veal knuckle, which was recommended on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform), but unfortunately it was sold out that day, which was a bit of a disappointment. I ended up ordering a steak instead. The steak itself was quite good, but I have a small suggestion: because the restaurant has outdoor seating, it gets cold quickly in the wind, and the steak on the ceramic plate cooled down after only a few bites. I personally prefer the warmth of a hot plate; the steak definitely loses its appeal when it cools down. I hope the restaurant can consider keeping the tableware warm in the future, or perhaps increase the quantity of dishes available. Although I didn't get to eat what I really wanted this time, the service and taste were so good that I'd definitely come back next time to try the veal knuckle!
