Neighborhood place that always looked busy so decided to try it. The waiters were excellent (mostly Asian) who were hardworking and hustling to help a restaurant full of customers. The atmosphere was nice too.
The bad….food is BELOW AVERAGE even by my unrefined palate. We...got a pasta amatricana…waaaay too salty where we almost wanted to send it back. We also got three pizzas including margherita, diavola…the pizzas were paper thin….literally like flatbread in the US. Impossible to even pick up properly. The sauce and toppings were very average and looked store bought versus home made.
The worst….Copretto or service tax is illegal in Rome but not in this restaurant apparently! 2 euros per person. Also the menu mentions it’ll be waived if your bill exceeds 20 euros. When we noticed it on our bill, asked the manager and he tried to quickly make up a story that it’s 20 euros per person not the table. That’s not what the menu says. Crooked and unethical!
Throughout our trip in Italy, we always met kind, charming and helpful people except this restaurant manager, who’s probably the worst person we met in 2 weeks!
Stay away from this place - both for terrible food and deceptive behavior of managementMore
