We had two very large pizzas that were lovely , a mixed salad, beer, mineral water and red wine . The restaurant is relatively simple, but we enjoyed the location and setting. Very reasonably priced pizzas 7 to 8 euros and large beers 4 euros, far cheaper than in Sorrento.

Service was great and the food extremely satisfying. It also offers a great location with a view of the Roman Forum, how often can you sit in front of a monument several Millenia in age while dining. It lets you soak it all in while contemplating humanities never ending ingenuity.

But we discovered the the service was fairly quick (considering there were two large tables of guests already there) and definitely friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meals; I had a mussel pasta which was perfectly done and delicious. Prices were quite reasonable considering the location. All in all, a pleasant surprise for all of us!

It's a tourist trap restaurant, perfect position, and the pizza was OK, but to be stuck in a restaurant for one hour and 45 minutes for OK pizza? Not worth it! I speak Italian, I asked where our food was after about 45 minutes, it still took another 20 minutes. It was weird, because some people around us were waiting longer, some got their food a little quicker, but the wait staff, all of them, just seemed unhappy and irritated. Maybe it's because they deal with hundreds of tourons everyday, however, there are many bigger tourist traps where the people are kind. Go in town, pay less, get better food.

This eatery is directly between the two entrances to the Archeological Area. This pizza was fine as was the seafood. They were busy but device very good. read more This eatery is directly between the two entrances to the Archeological Area. This pizza was fine as was the seafood. They were busy but device very good.
