Strepitoso 33 In Roma

05/01/2025: A very enjoyable evening. From the moment we walked in. We were met with a welcome smile and taken to our table. Food was incredible. White truffle carbonara highly recommend. The owner took time to explain all our dishes which was a nice touch. 5 stars all round

05/01/2025: TOO MUCH MONEY for a completely mediocre dinner. Sorry, because we looked for this restaurant on the advice of family members, but we found ourselves in a place that was decidedly subdued compared to the demands of the menu. ENVIRONMENT Cold in a kitsch and characterless place. A mixture of dissonant and faux-luxurious elements that meet writings on the walls, industrial lamps, satin napkins and fake prints of people from the cinema. A consultation on design and furnishings wouldn't have gone amiss. FOOD Sufficient but extremely expensive for the final quality. Good pastas and sauces, anonymous starters. Sweets with an inexplicable price due to the lack of creativity. There is no offer of wine by the glass: a white or a red and you'll stick. SERVICE A disaster: two foreign guys who barely spoke Italian. One of the two, probably responsible for the room, a certain Mario, was not able to explain to us the foods and wines served and often responded disdainfully to our questions about the menu (e.g. "What is Sofia Loren pesto?" - " well, it's a pesto! With anchovies!"). Ridiculous choices of mise en place: the kids bring you the pasta covered by an (ugly) cloche without knowing how to handle it. €3.50 cover charge FOR WHAT, I would like to know. Plastic tables, no tablecloth or placemat, bread OFF THE MENU, what the hell am I paying for exactly? A cover charge of €1.50 would be fair. Oh and the menu is a mess, too much stuff and difficult to decipher. The idea of ​​bringing tastings of pasta from friends is NICE. The problem with this place is the size. It should all cost €4 less.
