😠 My girlfriend and myself went here for breakfast. We got 1 coffee, 1 hot chocolate, 2 croissants and an American breakfast. Cost us €41.25!! And we were not even impressed with the food or service before knowing the bill. It just made it so much worse. Given menus with no prices, 1 croissant alone... People often mention prices,

    Be careful, it's a tourist trap. Very high prices for regular food... they also add 15% for service (only place which include this in my trip)

    Tourist trap. Avoid.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!! $13 for three little scoops of ice cream. With the "service charge" which was conveniently left out at the beginning, it was about $30 for two ice cream cups. Save your money.

    Unbelievable! Do not go in there! They advertised a lunch "special offer" on the board outside- €15 per person. We sat down and ordered whatever was on the board. Food was just warm and chicken leg rather dry. Nothing special. Fanta was watered down so much it tasted like orange flavoured water... When I went to pay the bill was €54.60!!! The rude woman on the till whipped out amenu from under the counter and said the lunch is €20 per person plus drinks! The offer on the board was "take away"! I went outside and the "take away" was written on the bottom of the board, in a tiny letters, amongst "free wifi, free sky". According to the woman "it was clearly advertised". What a disgusting place! Donot go there. Seriously.

    Was asked to pay here after eating next door at 'Smart Food' so they must be working together in some form. Total rip off, was not informed of the prices before ordering, cokes from a can that were €5 each and a beer that was €15!! It was a large beer but I was never asked what size I wanted. It was also warm and flat. Food was dreadful too. Can't tell you to avoid either of these places enough.

    various gastrointestinal issues followed my stay at this institution, reminded me of my struggles with chlamydia back in 1983, that was a wild summer when I vacationed in mexico my buddy eric was truly going off the deep end around that time I remember he was arrested when we got back on august 17 for something called "statutory" which to this day I do not understand the meaning of.

    A total rip off. No prices are posted. It was €30 for two gilato, but we didn't know until we had to pay. Waste of money. Honestly I'm furious we paid so much for ice cream.

    Rip off!!! Preferably NO STARS AT ALL! We ordered 4 burger menus and 2 toast menus for €6.50. Apart from the fact that the burger was dry and the toast was absolutely unacceptable for the price, we were simply given two fries. We thought they were part of the menu, but later we were charged €10 more! At first they wanted over €70 from us, after discussing it it was €49 (still a cheek). We were shouted at and pulled away.

    My girlfriend and myself went here for breakfast. We got 1 coffee, 1 hot chocolate, 2 croissants and an American breakfast. Cost us €41.25!! And we were not even impressed with the food or service before knowing the bill. It just made it so much worse. Given menus with no prices, 1 croissant alone cost €5. We were expecting to pay less than €20 as we got something similar down the street for €11.50 the day before but upon paying the girl ignored us while showing us the prices on the menu and adding them up. The 15% service charge on €30 should have only been €4.5 yet she somehow managed to get it to €11.25. I was too annoyed and shocked from this I just payed and left. We got no receipt or thanks or goodbye or anything. The girl also did not use the proper till only a calculator and I saw her pocket the money and just walk off leaving us standing there in shock. DO NOT GO HERE!!! ABSOLUTE RIP OFF AND TOTAL SCAM!!!

    €15 a beer!?!? What a scam. We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 beers, which we were assured were on the pizza and a beer for €10 offer. Sadly not. Food was poor, but the beers were a joke. €55.20 total. On top of that, we had to listen to the owner screaming on her phone for 20 minutes. Stay. Well. Away. If you do go in, make sure to ask for the full menu. Most of the menus have the drinks page missing, but a couple of them have it all, as the owner was only too happy to show as she robbed us blind.

    I understand that prices for capital cities will be at a premium, especially in a tourist heavy location such as Rome; however, being charged €23 for ONE slice of cake and a bottle of water is flat out extortionate - the cake wasn't even that good since the entire thing was overwhelmingly drowned in whipped cream. I remember being told to be wary of pickpocketers in Rome but honestly, I should've been warned about places like this. Places like this give a bad impression for this beautiful city and the amazing food it offers but this place does not live up. I'd have much rather visited the McDonald's further along the same road or brought literally anything else. AVOID this location.

    DO NOT GO HERE! If it’s possible to give Negative stars, this place hit a home run! “Tourist trap”, “ripoff joint”, “buyer beware”, and any other term that can be used to describe a place to be avoided, this is it! Our bill was €37,95...guess what we ordered?...not a starter, main course and dessert...No, we ordered two slushies (€10 each!) and a gelato (single scoop €13!). AND they slapped on a €4 service just for good measure! This place is close to the Colosseum, and it’s tempting because of the slushee machine out front and air conditioning. And to top it off, the big sign out front has the logo of the company “illy”, which is a well-known cup maker that many Canadian coffee chains use. We should’ve asked for prices ahead of time. Hopefully more people will read this (and other reviews) and avoid this place at all cost.

🫤 RUDE TO ASIANS. Gelato here is incredible with so many flavours to choose from! It’s a gelato heaven from fruit, chocolate and my favourite hazelnut flavours. Be prepared for a little queue but it’s well worth the time. Staff are not friendly. The lady cashier in particular, was outright rude. Sh...
