Terrazza Barberini

The food here was great. We had a hot day in Rome and it was nice and cool in the restaurant. I had a steak that was cooked properly and my wife has a pasta dish. Overall it was a nice place to eat. They have a love musician who was very entertaining. I would come back here for sure.

This was such an unfortunate choice I don’t know where to start. Perhaps it is kindest to start with the high point which was that the main restaurant (unlike many others of the area) was wheelchair accessible. Granted given what followed that may not have been the ‘boon’ we thought it to be.
Downtown eating may need to be avoided all together.
At the start were excited to hear some live music playing on the outside patio but soon discovered it was a repeated very small repertoire. We came to learn just how small as it marked the long long long long passage of time for each part of the meal
— bringing menus (3 pp at table) we had 5 of different types each 1 – 2 pages but oddly no one type had three copies so we kept grabbing at menus hoping to see the selections being mentioned by the others. WE ASKED 3 times before right ones were brought.
— taking our orders was 7 trips to the table by two different servers
— bringing the waters only low bubble 500 ml frizante they ran out of larger share size
— my mom asked if there was soup and was told yes a vegetable soup later when brought to her cold despite asking specifically for it to be very hot, then it was reheated in a microwave meanwhile without any mention was charged $ 15 euro that’s $ 22 CND BOWL OF F’ing soup
— meanwhile the rest of ordered items were edible (because we were very hungry not due to quality).
— I had sea bass (I think). It was stewed in fresh tomatoes with privately given tiny pieces of potato. The tomatoes were the high point of the dish. I kept eating it despite an odd texture and flavour desperately hoping I wouldn’t become a travelers cautionary tale of what happens when you eat fish that had gone Off.
The pizza was another high point it that it too was edible. I think even tasty in spots. Very nice crust edge not burnt.
— my son also ordered pasta which was a very modest serving of penne with bacon. He was Very looking forward to ice cream for desert but saw dead flies IN THE ICE CREAM IN THE SELECTION COUNTER.
— flies were a problem throughout the meal
I am pleased to have this experience behind us as I’m sure it can’t all be glorious. Now we are safe for next few days. Yay!

Extremely good Neapolitan style pizza in the heart of Rome. Well organized and furnished terrace with air conditioning is the place you want to be in during summer hot midday time. The prices are a bit high and the service is a bit slow, but all in all, the guaranteed quality of the ingredients and the choice of dishes will satisfy everyone’s needs. Deserved my 5 out 5 points.

Hello my fellow Americans,
Wife and I walked over to this nice restaurant for Breakfast on a Friday Morning. Very Good. Croissant and Danish type of breakfast. Very friendly staff.

Stopped in on a hot afternoon.
Staff was very friendly, the beer was cold, and the food was good.
Great views of the piazza.
Simple, pleasant, we’ll be back.

Great place, we stopped for coffee and something sweet. The coffee was fabulous and the desserts were plentiful, plus the people kept filing in picking up their Christmas orders. Its the Naples style sweets so you know they are good, plus beautiful. The people were friendly and service was quick and good.

Free wifi. We ordered an egg muffin sandwich, vegetarian antipasta, some cappuccinos and a little chocolate dessert pastry. Everything tasted fine. We ordered at the counter and the waiter brought everything when it was ready. Nothing was excellent, but after wandering the streets for somewhere to eat breakfast, finding a place with wifi, air conditioning and good food, we really appreciated this place.

This is a member restaurant of «Vera Pizza Neapolitana so the
reason why we visited this restaurant with high expectations.
We had of course a Pizza Margherita with buffalo mozzarella &
with Salsicca aswell.
The Pizza was very good typical neapolitan style. So it
is worth going and trying this restaurant.
The service was friendly. We got a table without reservation.

Die Terraza Barberini hat eine untere (Eis) und eine obere Etage (Restaurant) incl. einer kleinen Terrasse (die gleichermassen durch den unteren Eingang erreicht wird).
Man denkt ja, Pizza wäre in Italien immer gut. Das kann ich leider für die Terraza Barberini nicht bestätigen. Wir waren geschäftlich in Rom und wollten noch schnell etwas von der italienischen Kultur und Lebensart mitnehmen. Offensichtlich lagen wir damit innerhalb der üblichen Zielgruppe (und natürlich Touristen). Und damit fehlt den Betreibern der Terraza offensichtlich auch ein nationales Korrektiv.
Wir haben (für zwei) Bruschetta mit verschiedenen Aufstrichen und zwei Pizzen bestellt. Alles in allem war das Essen ganz ok, aber Pizza kann auch toll belegt, mit dünnem Boden und knusprig sein. Und das habe ich leider nicht gefunden. Der Ruccola war sicher eher von gestern, Parmesan war eher spärlich über der Pizza verteilt, allein der Schinken war gut. Der Teig war zu zäh — knusprig geht anders — und insgesamt fehlte etwas an Würze.
Meine Empfehlung: OK, aber wenn man andere Möglichkeiten hat, würde ich diese sicher vorziehen.
