Good traditional Roman dishes
Ate both at the restaurant and ordered via GLOVO
For me they are a guarantee
I thank the municipality of Catania who restored the square where the old headquarters was so they moved near my house
I'll come back and tidy up

I was passing through on a Sunday evening and we decided to eat something at Magna Roma having heard good things about it
First of all, it was Sunday evening, and when we arrived, there was no confusion.
Once inside, a gentleman with a burgundy shirt welcomes us, introducing himself and directing us to a table of his choice.
Once seated, we asked if we could sit at a more comfortable table since the one he chose was a bit shaky.
Alas, there was no way to choose the table (most of the room was empty)
Having overlooked this, during the service, we asked (always the gentleman who welcomed us) to recommend something.
Between the babbling and the imprecision, in the end we didn't receive any response, in fact he delegated it to one of the girls, a blonde with a very sweet smile, who was able to help us.
While we were eating (everything was amazing) we had the unpleasant experience of witnessing numerous heated and almost mortifying reproaches at times, from the gentleman in the burgundy shirt (I presume he was the manager) to the waiters who (a completely shocking thing to do in front of customers) were doing everything they could.
Review: Fantastic food, compliments, but the staff don't treat each other that way, especially in front of a customer.
I give a 5 star review in addition to the excellent food, only thanks to the guys, who, looking at the whole scene, demonstrated disarming patience and professionalism, especially since as a restaurant worker, I know how difficult it can be to do this job and above all humiliating to put on a show in this way...

Sunday lunch with friends and everything of excellent quality as always. Excellent service thanks to the very friendly dining room manager Alessandro who, as always, welcomed us with a smile and recommended the best. Unfortunately I can't say the same as a few days ago... superficial, approximate and careless treatment. Only with Mr. Alessandro top on everything. We will return to enjoy the excellent dishes very soon by informing ourselves of his presence beforehand. The lady at the checkout, perhaps the owner, was also very kind.

The food is good but the service is too slow for a lunch break and not very attentive to customer needs

For work reasons I go to Catania, and when it's lunch time I take a tour around the area to understand what to eat... and I discover by chance this place, very characteristic in Roman style, like the aphorisms written on the walls...
Obviously we tried the traditional first courses: a Cacio e Pepe served in a basket with a pecorino romano crust... spectacular...
The other first course, an Amatriciana... as it should be... served in a grandmother's bowl which I really liked.
How to be in Rome while staying in Sicily..
I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu, recommended!
