Alla Rampa - Rome

My husband and I visited Alla Rampa a few days before and had a wonderful early dinner. During our visit, I saw a dish someone at another table ordeed that looked delicious. I wanted to return so I could order the same meal. On our last night in Rome, we visited Alla Rampa again. From the moment we sat down, we had a tenable experience. We never had an opportunity to look at the menu. We wanted to start with a bottle of wine. We had a wine at another restaurant the day before that we loved, and we were trying to get something similar. The waiter kept suggesting very expensive bottles or wine that were well over 150 euros. When we found the wine we wanted and it was under 100 euros, the waiter had an attitude. When ordering our main course, I tried to explain to the waiter the dish that I had seen a few days earlier. The waiter kept shushing me and told me to let him tell me what to oder. He kept pointing to dishes that were the most expensive but not what I was trying to describe. We also each wanted to order a salad. When we tried to point to the salad on the menu, the waiter respeated the wrong salad, and when my husband tried to clarify, the waiter got irritated. The waiter brought the salad and main course out at the same time. The main course was nothing like what i was trying to describe, and it was luke warm. However. I observed that the food for the other tables around us was steaming hot. Our waiter was very attentive to the other tables around us, but it was obvious that he was trying to rush us from the very start. This was a terrible experience. NOTE TO THE MANAGER....you need to be out on the floor to observe your waiters. The waiter we had was very rude, and based on other written reviews, our experience was not unique.

Easy to miss this place because it is tucked away around the corner from the Spanish Steps so although the area is busy most people do not stray off the main tourist routes. We were most impressed by the service, so many places give the impression that they are fed up with tourists and uninterested . Food was delicious and nice range of wine with reasonable (Rome restaurant) prices

We were nearby this restaurant so decided to book for our first night, when we arrived it was fairly empty and we wondered whether we should have bothered but it soon filled up. The decor is just like a theatre set, so imaginative! We ordered soup and seafood salad to start and balsamic tuna and veal in white wine go or mains. The portions were large and the food very well cooked and flavoursome. The tiramisu was lovely too! We found the best wine choice slightly limited but a minor point.

Nice and simple local, abundant portions and adequate prices, friendly and helpful staff, minimum waiting times. excellent cuisine full of flavors. absolutely recommended

We ate twice in this place at a distance of about fifteen days. the first time was all very pleasant: great food and service (the light vegetable fried we returned the second time, we ordered the same dishes, but the experience was a little disappointing. all dishes were intrigues of oil and fat. the waiter who served us was friendly and friendly, but not all the staff was just as much.
