This place is amazing. Their drinks are extremely affordable but the service is what makes it. The man here is incredible. He is so lovely. He was so kind, topped up our drinks. Gave us recommendations, gave us bonus bread. I just adore this place and highly recommend

My 16 yr old son and I came to foodies on our first day in Rome. The food was Fantastic! The man who served us was exceptional. So sweet and helpful. It was night time so when I had left my room I did not bring much money. I was short a couple dollars and he told me it was ok. I sent my son to go to our room and get more money while I waited. I stepped out and he came a couple min later and was telling me it was ok. My son came back and I paid him the rest and a tip. He is such a sweetheart. I recommend if you are there GO! Best memory I will have is this man with his great food and kind heart.

This place is legit. We needed a greasy burger after 14 days touring Italy binging on carbs. They are right beside the Vatican and might be hard to find because they are a hole in the wall. But the burgers and fries are top notch.

Had an amazing experience here. The staff was absolutely amazing. After a hot day out in Vatican museum and travelling with kids we were in much need for a burger and cold drinks. My nephews birthday was told at and they took the time to provides us with a candle and small pastry so we could sing happy birthday. We appreciate the staff and atmosphere this small restaurant provides hope too come back again.

Delicious food. The burgers are fantastic. The chicken nuggets, fries, and onion rings were all great.

Loved my veggie burger. It was a fried eggplant with delicious pesto. Family got a chicken panini and other burgers and everyone was pleased with the meal. Wanted to get a chocolate mousse but they ran out :( location is really close to the vatican so was an easy stop after our time at the basilica

Wonderful place very kind funny and welcoming! The main guy is the star of the show! Attentive and shares stories and makes you laugh! Top top top
