The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is beautifully decorated, while the outdoor area provides a stunning view of the Colosseum. We couldn’t decide where to sit, so we chose a table inside, close enough to enjoy both the cozy atmosphere and the view outside.
We went through the menu and ordered a few items:
• Margherita Pizza – 5/5
• Roasted Potatoes – 5/5
• Draught Beer – 5/5
A special mention for their Margherita Pizza — it was one of the best I’ve ever had, quite similar to the one we tasted in Venice. It was absolutely delicious.
The service was excellent, with attentive and polite staff throughout.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Colosseum.
