Very bad food and rude guy

Food was alright and inexpensive.

Very good food and good reasonably priced wines

The food was delicious and authentic. The staff are courteous and helpful. Bring your appetite since the portions are generous and reasonably priced.

Lovely terrace seating. The menu is designed for tourists, so it's a surprise that food is actually really good and good value! The staff are pleasant, but overworked so it's not so easy to attract attention. But that's minor.

Great Bistro! Friendly, excellent food and good prices! Fully recommended

My wife and I are in Civitavecchia staying at the Hotel San Giorgio as we wait to board our cruise ship. This restaurant is attached to the hotel and was recommended by the staff as we checked in. So, being exhausted from traveling and wanting a quick bite followed by sleep, we went ahead and made a reservation. As we entered the restaurant we were immediately greeted by the extremely friendly staff (all of them were great!). We were escorted to our table and provided menus. One thing to note that our waiter clued us in on is that the tap water (at least where we're staying) is not drinkable, so have to go bottled. As we perused the menu we immediately noticed how reasonable the prices were (the 5 euro cocktails really surprised us, but that's coming from Americans). We went ahead and ordered a couple drinks and quickly received a bread basket (tasty). The menu has a lot of pages, but everything sounded good. We started off with the cutting board (meats, cheeses, breads with various spreads, jams, etc) and it was amazing, everything paired well together. We were pretty full after the appetizer, but decided to soldier on and try some pasta. She got the O'pacchero and I had the Carbonara al cubo; both dishes were awesome. The Carbonara is a trio that you eat in a specific order. As you progress thru you get different flavor profiles, neat experience! After finishing our entrees we were on the verge of having to be rolled out of there. Another thing we learned is that the check is typically prepared for you at the bar, so you just walk up when you're done eating and pay. We sat around for a while waiting, finally flagged someone down for the check (which they brought to us) and they told us to pay at the bar. Really like this restaurant. I'd recommend stopping in if you're in town.
