I Quattro Mori

If you’re a tourist visiting avoid this place at all cost, they hustle and violate all tourist like they forgot their Vaseline.
We ate here as an impromptu lunch on the way to the pantheon and it was a HUGE mistake. I came in wanting pasta and they shove this prefix menu shit on us that served some prosciutto and mozzarella then this oily stiff pasta dish then some oily cream based lasagna then this overly dry piece of crap meat. I was so furious and I asked for a menu but they keep talking about it’s a prefix and I look around all the regulars are served these pasta dishes. And to top it off the fuckers charge us for an extra water bottle we never asked for and never drank.
I hate this place.

0 stars!!!
Awful establishment. We just wanted to sit down and have a little lunch, but they started pouring multiple bottles of wine and water as soon as we walked in. They refused to show us a menu until we insisted. The prices were ridiculous. Good thing one of our traveling companions suggested they may be fleecing us. They treated us like there was something wrong with us when we challenged them. Good riddance. We walked out without eating or paying.
Avoid this place. Go to San Pietrini up the street instead. Great food and service.

There was no menu. The waiter asked to choose between fish and meat. My wife and I both chose fish some how we got a super dry meat dish. He said that everyone would get the same foods besides the entrée. But I looked as everyone got some really good looking clams, escargot, and spaghetti while I was still sitting on starters. Some people just walked in and got the other dishes. I feel so discriminated against. I wouldn’t go here if you don’t speak Italian because they would totally cheat you. The worst part of all was once they cleared my table of starters, they never brought anything else. I watched as others got their food. I even asked the waiter if I was gonna get those and he said yeah it’s coming but it never came. I was literally the only table without any food. After about 15 mins or so I decided to get the check and leave. They wanted to charge me the same price as everyone € 45 per person but asked them why I didn’t get this and that and they answered sometimes you get it sometimes you don’t. I thought it was the same menu for everyone just a different entrée dish… The waiter smiled and said sometimes you get it sometimes you don’t and said I can’t help you. I kept complaining and he finally gave me a discount (-€ 10). I asked for a spaghetti dish for take away since I wasn’t full off of the starters and he said, take away is € 20. I was done at this point. I figured it’s no point in trying to argue anymore I just wanted fellow Unilocalers to know of the injustice and that you shouldn’t go here if you were thinking about it!

I wish Unilocal allows a rating of no stars, because 1star would be an understatement for how bad the service is in this place.
Tourists b.e.w.a.r.e! This place only caters to the locals. It’s a pretty bad experience for a restaurant for our first day stay in Rome.
They told us they do not have a menu because everything is set for everyone: a set of appetizers, main course and I don’t even know if they have dessert. They started serving us food and we didn’t complain since they said everything is set for everyone. Just one whole dinner course for every customer in the restaurant.
But when others started to arrive, we noticed that whatever we received was different than what others are getting served. We asked the waiter how come we didn’t get this and that and his response was: «well sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t»
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO EVERYTHING IS SET FOR EVERYONE.
Total waste of money and time. They gave us bland duck and pork, and got a slice of fish while others had 3.
Don’t be fooled by the other comments. All that for € 45!

I really, really loved this restaurant. Its located just outside the north walls of Vatican City. People who work in the Vatican or who are regular visitors often find this a wonderful place to get away. It’s definitely a local hang out and not a tourist destination. But, I’ve always found the food at the local hang outs much better and significantly less expensive.
It’s very small, but always packed. It specializes in Sardinian cuisine. Due to the location of Sardinia, it should not be a surprise that Sardinian dishes often involve fresh seafood. This restaurant has seafood delivered daily, so you always have the most fresh in season catch available.
The sardines were a most wonderful surprise. My previous experience of sardines was with the ones canned in mustard that my father ate on soda crackers every New Years’s Eve. I will never think of sardines in the same way after eating at this restaurant. Fresh sardines are wonderful. Almost sweet. Not fishy. Devine.
