04/09/2025: Dear Mr. Cottini,
I would like to thank you all for the attention you gave me and all the pilgrims visiting your restaurant on September 2nd.
After an intense and demanding walking pilgrimage that began in Caserta, I arrived in Rome, and after visiting the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, our group of pilgrims chose to have lunch at your restaurant.
A positive experience in every way!
The menu (very competitively priced), which included a first course, second course with side dish, and a small bottle of water, was very balanced, suitable for a large group of 22 people.
The dishes were simple, nutritious, and fresh, typical of Roman tradition.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a regenerating break after a particularly busy and intense morning of sightseeing.
The staff was courteous and helpful, but what made our break unique was the way they, with their characteristic Roman spirit, distributed the dishes. Between each serving, the kind Mr. Roberto would offer playful and amusing quips, like: "It takes courage to eat!" And of course, my response was inevitable: "Don't be cheap with this dish!"
Everyone laughed, in an atmosphere of contagious joy!
A final touch that made all the difference was the coffee kindly offered to all of us by the kind smile of the kind Oana, a sign of true Roman hospitality.
In conclusion, if you find yourself in Rome, I highly recommend Bar Cottini!
Excellent food, fair prices, and the personal attention that knows how to make every guest feel part of the "Roman family."
P.S. The restaurant offers both coffee and food service!
See you soon!
01/09/2025: All the bad reviews are untrue. I visited this place three times during my stay, and none of the situations described in the negative reviews occurred. The food was delicious, and the service was very friendly. I always enjoyed returning and left full and with a smile on my face. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone.
