Excellent burgers and burritos, probably one of the best in Rome. An extensive menu for both meat and veg options. Service was also nice. Eventough it's a little pricey it's definitely worth it.

mistakes do happen but for a place that has its own vegan menu it was surprisingly easy to order a “vegan hummus bowl” and get a hummus bowl with cow milk yogurt and feta cheese :/ maybe renaming the products so every cashier understands when the vegan version of the item is being ordered would help?

The burger was completely horrendous the bread was wet and oily. The sauces were completely overpowering, only the fries were decent. And it is soo expensive for what they offer.

No table service
