Details
Cheebo - Smashburger, Pollo fritto & Pulled Pork offers a distinctive culinary experience in Rome's eastern periphery, specifically within the La Rustica district. This establishment, which opened in April 2025, exudes a welcoming ambience, blending retro and modern elements with a striking blue colour scheme. It stands out as a project born from the passion of three local friends, aiming to provide a comforting and high-quality dining spot that resonates with the community, embodying their motto, "Bite the East Side".
The cuisine centres around artisanal smashburgers, buttermilk-marinated fried chicken, and slowly cooked pulled pork, all crafted with care and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Customers can enjoy the Classic smashburger, featuring American cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, and a secret Cheebo sauce, or opt for the rich, hand-shredded pulled pork, slow-cooked for 22 hours and served with coleslaw and BBQ sauce. Vegan options are also available, including a fried smoked tofu burger and a plant-based patty smash burger, complemented by carefully selected fries.
This vibrant eatery is well-suited for a broad range of diners, from children and teenagers to families and groups of friends, thanks to its accessible pricing. It provides an excellent choice for a casual, quality lunch or an evening out, particularly for those seeking a departure from Rome's traditional fare. Its commitment to the local area and inviting atmosphere make it an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings or a swift, satisfying meal.

At 9:30 PM, an employee informed the last people in line that they couldn't serve anyone else after them (an organizational plus, in my opinion).
That said, there's not much to say about the food. Their Crispy is the best smashburger I've ever had. The Oklahoma and Chicken are also excellent, but the Crispy is literally worth the trip.
I wasn't crazy about the fries, but the place still deserves 5 stars because the prices are definitely below average and the Crispy really makes the difference.
The only downside of the evening was the cookie, which was obviously collapsed and raw in the center... Let's just say that for €3, delivering a visibly unsavory product is a bit disappointing.
For the rest, I recommend it.
