Papalino - Rome

Food took ages to get to us and two of five people got their dishes before the rest. The pizzas were okay. The lasagna wasn't good. It was definitely not made fresh the meat was dry and it generally tasted like nothing. Spaghetti Bolognese was okay, but most sauces bought in stores are the same. A can ! of coke cost 4€, so keep that in mind. Receipt was hand written and not serious. Waitress was very disinterested and seemed rather bored, she didn't check up on us or apologize for the time our food took. There are many places that are way better and cheaper.

What can I say... an old waiter served us. Really surprised we asked for ketchup as an Italian pizza does not come with ketchup . Honestly I do not are, I pay I demand. Then he added few euro tip to our bill not even asking if we want to give him any tip. I would avoid this one, lots of better places to eat.

Can you have the worst pasta ever in Roma? Yes you can, I ordered penne Al pesto and it was undercooked, I mean it was hard, rock hard. I have eaten for several days in Italy eating perfect pasta al dente and I know what al dente is. The guy was telling me no no not hard just al dente how we eat it in Italy but of course it was hard, horrible, of course a restaurant made for a rush tourist to just get in and not experience well made pasta

Bad food. Rude service. Ordered lettuce salad; got spoiled lettuce. Ordered bread; it never arrived. Ordered caprese salad; they didn’t put any basil н it. After complaining they brought a couple of leaves of basil in a plate, threw it on the table, and said “that’s all what we have”.

Don't go to this restaurant it is a tourist trap that doesn't care about you only your money. We went there on our first day in Rome as new tourists to the city. The restaurant was in a nice area close to the hotel with a decent view. We sat down and the waiter seemed dismissve, rude and inattentive. The wine was subpar at best, I ordered the rigatoni amarticiana that was undercooked and an underwhelming caprse salad with old mozzarella. He even charged us for bread that tasted like a 5 year old baked it. He then wrote the check on a piece of paper and demanded a service fee which we gave 10 euros for even though standard in Rome is 2. Disgusting and immoral place that should be shut down. Don't go for any reason.
