Colosseum Bar

I’ve never written a review before but felt the need to this time. Even though we arrived at 9pm and there wasn’t a ton of people, the service was rushed and unfriendly. Our family of five attempted to order two items off the menu but both were sold out because they only used “fresh ingredients”. Once our food arrived, it was clear that their “fresh ingredients” was clearly inaccurate. Perhaps one of the worst meals we’ve had out. Husband ordered the gnocchi pesto di raddaccio... no joke looked like cat food and was horrendous. One kid got the burger and looked like it should be a camp burger out of a cafeteria and French fries were clearly frozen. One kid got the gnocchi with clam sauce and you guessed it, so bad.. Our cocktails were 8 sips and then gone because they were so filled with ice. We spent 100euros on five meals, two cocktails and two bottles of water and walking out super sad that we could’ve had such a better meal with our money.

Good cappuccino and “cornetti”. You get the coffee with a view of Colloseum.

Great Service and very good quality food!

Pasta not cooked properly. Too much runny sauce in one meal and not enough sauce in another. Way too salty to eat. Do not recommend.

TL;DR: BAD PLACE NO GO! Worst food I had during my week in Italy, and I managed to go to a few sub par places but I didn't feel the need to review them. Ordered the Bruschetta and what did I get? Limp white bread with cream cheese. Fine, first miss, this could still be saved. Moving on to the main dish. Ordered the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe. Classic Roman dish, in Rome and honestly a dish so simple even I've made it at home a few times. And yeah, the sauce wasn't too bad. But holy hell they had an interesting spin on the term "al dente"! Pasta was undercooked, and felt like biting into pub calamari. on top of that it, since when is spaghetti square???? Also, don't get the ravioli ... my girlfriend got it and half of them were barely warm in the middle. Creamy sauce came quite watery too. Ok 2 meals gone bad, but theres still desert left. Maybe they can still redeem themselves with a nice desert. Cheesecake! Everywhere does cheesecake. Don't even care if it's fresh just gimme something sweet and pleasant. And wow they brought out something decadent. But just as I go for my first bite I get stopped by my girlfriend pointing out... what a hair? a bit of dirt? NOPE! MOULD! A BIG LINE OF BLUE MOULD ACROSS THE BACK! Called over the waitress but she insisted that was normal and it wasn't mould and that was just the way it was. I'm a big fan of ugly food, but don't give food that looks like it could make me sick! Anyway I tried a little bit of the other end and it was bland as hell so they missed the boat on the dessert too. Could not recommend this place less, seriously the only reason they stay open is because they are right next to the Colosseum and because they spend more money on making the place look nice than they do making the food palatable. Avoid at all costs.

A bit pricy but considering the location you pay for the view. The service was quick. I wouldn’t recommend the fredo cappuccino as it was watery and not flavourful.

Not the place to experience real Italian food. Pizza was flavorless and looked like it was sitting out for a while. My boyfriend ordered the pasta and said it was too bland and salty. He was hungry so he ended up eating some of it. I wasn’t able to eat it and asked for a refund. They gave me a refund for the pizza but definitely not coming back.

Not too bad! Drink are big and at a good price! They do come with a side of chips!
