I don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, and it was the best spaghetti carbonara I’ve had in my life. The staff was also very kind. The only slight issue was that the service was a bit slow at times, but the food was definitely worth the wait. Plus, the views of the Pantheon are stunning!

The location is definitely the main highlight. It’s right across from the Pantheon, which makes the experience extra special.

You can enjoy your meal or drink while people-watching on the piazza, and the view alone already makes it worth a visit. The service was great and the staff were very nice and friendly. The food was good as well, so it’s not just about the location.

A lovely spot to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and take in the beautiful surroundings of the Pantheon.

My Mother & I are having the most incredible dinner and experience here. The service was so personable and took amazing care of us. I highly recommend this place as it is close to the fontana di pantheon yet not too touristy like the restaurants along the Piazza Navona

This restaurant was the worst I visited in Italy, which is unfortunate because the food was actually quite good. In addition to the food, the view of the Pantheon from the restaurant is honestly priceless.

However, if you're eating on the patio later in the day, there are constantly people approaching diners to sell products or ask for money, making it difficult to enjoy your meal.

On top of that, some of the wait staff are quite rude. In particular, one female server was extremely rude. After we finished our meal and paid, we did not leave a tip. This is because we have family in Italy that advised us not to tip as it is not apart of Italian culture and is not standard practice. As my boyfriend and I were leaving, she began heckling us about not tipping, saying things like, "My service isn't free," and, "What, the service wasn't good?" in an angry and confrontational tone. I don't believe this was a one-time incident because I witnessed her saying the exact same things to another customer who also didn't leave a tip. I have been going to Italy for many years now and I have never experienced this at any other restaurant.

This behaviour completely ruined what could have been a great dining experience. Heckling customers about tipping - especially when it is not a part of European culture - is absolutely unacceptable and rude. That is why I did not, and will never again return to this restaurant. I would advise others to avoid this restaurant at all costs.

The highlight of this restaurant is the view of the pantheon, we only had drinks here but they tasted slightly watered down compared to others we had when in Rome. I recommend visiting purely for the view, cannot comment on the food.
