Zio Carlo In Roma

28/06/2024: We had looked at multiple menus on the piazza Navona square and this one spoke to us a bit more than the others and the steak was priced at €7 so we decided to eat here. The food was actually very nice! And despite previous reviews, we had quick and prompt service, no delays etc. The thing that we were shocked at was the bill! It came to €71 as the steak was showing €30 on the bill?! I didn’t question because the steak was absolutely HUGE so I wonder if it was €7 per 100g (400g-500g steak) but this was not mentioned anywhere on the menu which I think is really wrong. When ordering he mentioned the steak is big but did not mention the price. Probably just a language barrier… My partner had a burger and fries and I also had a salad. The salad was slightly warm but not off putting! Overall it was an ok experience and one of the best dinners we’ve had in Rome and we’ve tried multiple places!

26/06/2024: This is one of many sidewalk cafes/restaurants in a very touristy area and the prices reflect that. It was not very busy last night (I think because all the other cafes were showing the Eurocup games on big screen TVs) We decided to pay for the view of the piazza and the experience. The service was friendly and the mushroom pasta was very fresh. We also had a caprese salad that was tasty. Probably not the very best food in Rome, but it was overall a lovely experience. A perfect stop on our walking tour of Rome. Restrooms were clean.
