Pepe Verde

This place was on our top 3 restaurant to go to. The waiter was very nice and made a big effort to speak english to us. The food was delicious!

Minus one star for drippy sick server and another star for salads with extremely salty dressing that was almost inedible. My sea bream with shredded zucchini was very good. Husband’s pasta dish with salmon was nothing special. Would not go back if I lived here. Hubby thinks three stars is too generous.

The ambient it rather special and memorable. Something between IKEA and design…
But a place to go to because of the food.
The menu is varied and very good!!! Food wise a place to remember and to return to…
Well, albeit the service is sometimes in a rush and not very hospitable, but never unfriendly, a place I like to go to as often as possible.
Together with colleagues as well as friends. Always a good place.
Personal recommendation:
Take an espresso for desert and an ice cream from «Gelateria Marinari» at the next intersection ;-)

Excellent pizza and great value for food and wine. Order the 15eu Chianti it’s great!
Service is a little busy and may seem a little impersonal in their attempt to be diligent and service the tables. More a management thing but the people otherwise seem nice. We would definitely go again and again if we lived here. Plus it is probably the best restaurant in this specific neighborhood so don’t bother going anywhere else if you are staying at the Fenix Hotel. Trust us! and make a reservation!

Excellent neighborhood restaurant, where the locals go. We were staying just 300m away, so it was just a short walk.
Arugula salad with buffalo mozzarella and pear was young, tender, and not like any arugula I have ever tasted in the U.S. Delicious!
Risotto with porcini was silky. Fabulous!
Orchietti with ricotta, tomato and mushroom, was perfectly al dente.

Good:
Excellent wines — house white has a little bit of «gas» in it
Fresh pasta — just the right amount of olive oil
Pizzas looked amazing — everyone in Italy gets a whole thin crust pizza for themselves before their meal.
Desserts — tiramisu was wonderful as was the panna cotta.
For the budget conscious:
Water is $ 3 EURO
Bread brought to the table is $ 4 EURO — only way to avoid is to refuse it when they bring it, it is not offensive in any way — we checked!
Bad:
Make sure you have a reservation
Opens at 7:30pm for dinner
It’s in the Nomentana neighborhood — near all of the embassies. If you are staying in downtown Rome, this will be a hike for you — if you are in the outer circle B&B’s or boutique hotels, it’s a great place for a walkable dinner!

Das Personal war von Anfang bis Ende mürrisch und unfreundlich. Die Pizza war angebrannt.
Immerhin ging es schnell und die Toiletten waren sehr sauber.
