Caffè di Porta Castello In Roma

17/08/2024: As soon as I arrived the welcome from the owner was not the best, as after asking for a different accommodation, shouting and attracting the attention of the other diners, he made it a point to point out that I had only booked in the morning, (he could easily have on the phone say they are full without making a scene and it should be noted that the requested table remained empty until closing time as did some others). The arrangement of the tables was very questionable: chair "creaking", glasses taken at random (forced to drink beer in a wine glass) and as the centerpiece of the table there was a sprig of oleander (not very suitable because it is toxic). The food is good, yes, but with some "flaws": poor, salty and without bread (brought only afterwards and therefore not even consumed, but still paid for...). Improvised service... A great shame, because the place deserves... Disappointed to have been treated this way...
