Ristorante Rigatoni In Roma

08/01/2026: We spent several days in Rome and Ristorante Archimede near the Pantheon was a pleasant discovery during our trip. Good quality and authentic food, pleasant service, convivial atmosphere in a charming dining room, and reasonable price. We're looking forward to visiting the restaurant again the next time we'll be in Rome.

03/01/2026: A restaurant with great potential and a pleasant atmosphere, but the service could definitely be improved. We discovered Archimede restaurant by chance, strolling down a side street, away from Rome's busiest tourist streets. We entered out of curiosity and were immediately struck by the decor and style of the restaurant: elegant, refined, with a decidedly Roman and refined atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the service, which fell short of expectations. The waiter forgot to bring us bread; I had only ordered soup and was unable to order it. When I asked for bread, he gave me an inappropriate response ("Where's your bread?"), only to later apologize. The bread arrived very late, and after about ten minutes, it was taken away because my companion had ordered gelato. I was told I shouldn't have any more bread, even though dessert wasn't for me. The wine service was also rather sketchy: when I asked what wine was being served by the glass, the answer was simply "a good one." I was also repeatedly called "Doctor," without any knowledge or reason. When leaving, I noticed that chocolates were being served to other tables, probably offered with coffee, but they weren't brought to us. Finally, when we got the bill, we were told that the wrong dessert had been marked and that we were two euros more than the bill stated. We paid without arguing, but the receipt was taken away, leaving us with only the card payment receipt. A place with great potential and a pleasant atmosphere, but the service could definitely be improved.
