5 Best food we’ve had in Rome in the three days we’ve been here! We went on a food tour yesterday and the food didn’t compare to this. Chef Ash knows what he’s doing in that kitchen. Highly recommend!!!
5 La Follia was just downstairs of our room we rented close to the Colosseum. The waiters were super friendly and knowledgeable, the food and drinks were great! They could accommodate my digestive issues!!!! We had two dinners and we will be back for breakfast.
5 Very delicious food, fantastic waiter Ajven, we are very satisfied after lunch. Fantastic place I recommend this place
5 Absolutely amazing. We were greeted at the door by Aimun (a server) when looking at the menus and he made a friendly convo with us. We decided to sit and order and he gave me a free sandwich even though I said I wasn’t hungry. So kind. When we were eating he still made convo with us and recommended us many nice places in Italy to visit. He then gave us all (three of us) a three shot. Lovely place. Will defo come again during my trip. Such a gem. Grazie Mille
5 Everything was amazing! We’re really satisfied, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Don’t even think twice - just come! I’ll definitely be back.
5 Delicious food , we had the lasagne and the classic burger ( cooked perfectly) , the staff were attentive and wonderful and the seating outside is lovely. And the price was extremely reasonable. All round 5 star experience
5 Robbie was a great host. He served us with such great hospitality. In my three days in Rome, he showed the good side of Rome. Good was great, service was perfect.
5 me and my friends came back here time and time again. Aymen was our waiter and he was so much fun! The pasta and pizza was amazing. We will return!
