28/08/2025: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Total disaster: from dinner to absolute disgust
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. This place is the perfect definition of a customer scam.
I'm writing this review still disgusted by the evening I spent in what was once called a restaurant. Today, it's little more than a trap for unsuspecting tourists, with unacceptable hygiene standards and cuisine unworthy of the name.
ENVIRONMENT AND HYGIENE: IMMEDIATE CLOSURE. We were placed in an outdoor area without any cover. Besides suffering from the heat, the real tragedy was when a diner was hit in the arm by the excrement of a bird nesting above us. I have the photos to prove it. But that wasn't the height of disgust: the bathrooms are old, dirty, and unkempt. Peeking into the kitchen, I saw a greasy, unclean environment, and cooks who were anything but cooks. They should have called not only the local health authority, but also the Guardia di Finanza.
THE "CULINARY": A JOKE
· First Courses: I ordered Cacio e Pepe, a signature dish of Rome. What I was served was a runny, sticky broth, where the cheese hadn't even mixed with the pasta, which was lukewarm to boot. Absolutely inedible.
· Second Courses: Three miserable meat rolls, so small they didn't even fill the center of the plate. Burnt on the outside and sad on the inside. An insult to the customer's intelligence and to their wallet (which was cowardly robbed).
· Side Dishes: Baked potatoes as dry as sawdust and a chicory that, instead of being sautéed, seemed to have been boiled in unsalted water. Flavorless, lifeless.
SERVICE AND CONS: The waitress wasn't in uniform and served the dishes with such a distressed expression that she looked like she was having trouble. Maybe she was, working in a place like this. When it came time to pay the bill, there was no invoice describing the meals, just an exaggerated and generic receipt. A clear attempt to hide the prices of what were once disgusting dishes.
CONCLUSION: This place is living off a past reputation that no longer exists. This place should close its doors immediately. I don't understand how it still has positive reviews if not for a blatant fake review game. I advise everyone to spend their money elsewhere, where the food is edible and hygiene is a priority. P.S. I apologize to the people I invited to this dinner.
15/08/2025: Honestly, I found myself there on a very busy day, namely Ferragosto. The service was very poor. The lady didn't even greet me or welcome me, nodding her head toward our table. When we ordered, she didn't take our order, but came to the table in a rather rude manner, telling me what we wanted. Honestly, this is a place I won't return to, obviously.
