La Pace del Cervello

Very good service and fantastic pizzas and desserts. We ordered pizzas, ice cream, tiramisu and coffee. Everything tasted great and you could tell that the tiramisu and ice cream was homemade.

We had lunch here. walked in the tv was blasting commercials after we ordered it took about half an hour to get our pizza… Then the waitress was fighting with another employee full force that we were literally in the middle of the argument. In my opinion that should never happen in a restaurant. The pizza was good, we also pasta and it was terrible. I do not recommend.

Very accommodating to our group of 15. Calzone was good, carbonara tasty, bread & beer also good. Staff was actually pretty quick with service. Overall we had a good experience here, tasty & easy for us.

Tired of looking up restaurants, and translating, et al. Just hopped in here as we’d walked for 9 hours. That being sad, the house red wine was good. I also have had no vegetables so we ordered A salad (Palm of hearts, lettuce, croutons, ham & shrimp) which was underwhelming. You have to make the dressing yourself. We also ordered a tiny savory ham and mozzarella crêpe which would have been better for breakfast.
But the winner was the fettuccini with clams and mussels. Cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. Although, I feel like you can’t go wrong with pasta anywhere around here!

Don’t order the grilled chicken! Italians have no idea how to cook grilled chicken and it was terrible! Spaghetti was very nice, but took 45 minutes to cook. Sandwiches are average, at best. Service was HORRIBLE. Save your time and money and go next door to their sister shop (to the left of the restaurant as you are standing in front of it)…you’ll get a sandwich or slice of pizza and a drink for 5 euros. Soooo much more worth it. Giovanni will serve you and he is such a nice guy! He will give you lots of tips to have the best time ever in Rome!

We walked by this place after a visit to the Coliseum. We were across the street and a waitress came across and showed us the English menu. We were looking for pizza and this place looked good. The service was about what you would expect at most places in Italy: efficient but distant. They gave us a white pizza to go with our 2 pizzas, salad and pasta. The white pizza was very dry, crispy pizza crust with nothing on it. We didn’t care for it but the pizza and pasta was good and the salad was fine. The pizza is the thin crust style popular in this region.
The problem came when the check arrived. We ordered plain still water and we received a glass, stoppered 1liter bottle that tasted like tap water. But they charged us $ 3 for it! Okay fine. Then they also added a service charge. Fine, that means we don’t have to tip, but it seemed a little high. Then we saw they charged us for three pizzas when we ordered 2. When we asked about it, the waitress said she fixed it but the price only went down $ 3. We felt ripped off in the end. We paid $ 54 for a thin marguerite pizza, a pizza with 4 little pieces of bacon, a plate of plain spaghetti (And I mean plain: no sauce ‚
No oil) and a green salad. Oh, and a bottle of tap water. Walk a little farther and I’m sure you can find a better deal.

The location is great very close to the Colosseum but the food was lack luster and the service was as another review stated cold, Not unfriendly but aloof. We started with the fried rice ball and fried mozzarella. Both were obviously prepackaged frozen products. For lunch, my husband had the lasagna which was quite good. Fresh made pasta a reasonable amount of cheese and a tasty red sauce. My son got a sausage pizza and I had a spicy salami pizza. The pizza crust was lack luster. Even though it was cooked in a brick oven, the crust was very «soft» borderline undercooked. The spicy salami was quite tasty on its own but there was something odd about the sausage. Maybe that is the way that Italian sausage is supposed to taste but it was not what I was expecting. I could not put my finger on the spice used but it definitely was not fennel. I would suggest looking for another place near the Colosseum.

Been there two times — August 2012 and October 2014. Both times the service was rather cold (not so say unfriendly) and slow, yet the food was acceptable and resonably priced considering that this is a tourist spot (basically you can see the colosseum from the street. So, it is a good restaurant. Average. 3 Stars.

we sat al fresco for dinner and ordered a bottle of red wine. the caprese salad was fresh an delicious. my spaghetti carbonara was also delicious. but my husband’s pasta was missing the artichoke and was sent back. but when he received it, the dish was extremely oily. they pretty much threw in the artichoke and then drizzled some fatty by product. the staff did try to mend the situation but it was too late. i don’t think we will ever come back and we would not recommend dining here.

Great lacation, friendly and fast service, free wifi, outdoor seating and TV’s for football games. And the food was good and reasonably priced.

Not a good place slow service over price. Small portions better go a block to small cafeteria. I will not came back

This place is close to a highly trafficked tourist site (colloseo). That’s where the good ends really.
The panini was pretty terrible, bread was dry and the prosciutto was a measly two thin slices. The linguine pasta was okay and the pizza was okay as well. They have no tap water, which is normal in Italy but the bottle of water costs 3 euro which is on the steep side. Also they have a «service» charge which I’m pretty sure is illegal in the city of Rome. I understand that «coperto» (seating/​cover) charges are normal outside of Rome. Did I mention the prices were pretty terrible for what you get? Sorry.

If you’re visiting the Colosseum and you’re hungry, you could do much worse than this place. That being said, it’s right by the Colosseum, so it’s all tourists and you get kinda the bare minimum of service and quality here.
I had the Caprese salad, which was pretty good, and a bruschetta with asparagus — also good. The pizza my boyfriend had was meh. It’s a serviceable place.

Its a bit of a touristy place, but if you sit outside you can catch a great view of the Colosseo.
The amatriciana and the bruschetta are fine and the house wine does the job. I would go, but only if its because its a Wednesday and il Bocconcino is closed :)

Good not excellent but worse the price. Prices are ok, service is disapointing.

I’d probably rate this place realistically a ⁵⁄₁₀ but unfortunately i can’t give 2 ½ stars. (I would only go back somewhere if i gave it a ⁷⁄₁₀ minimum)
We ate here 27÷07÷12 mostly out of desperation to get out of the heat after visiting the colosseo and the waitress was quite friendly and spoke in english. We got a table inside with aircon and noticed on every table there were daily specials on yellow paper however each table had a different special on it (It appeared to be more a general sucker page for tourists i think). I ordered the lasagna and Marty ordered the chicken salad. I asked for a pineapple frappé whereas Marty had a beer. About 20mins in, i asked the waitress what happened to my drink and she had forgotten to come back to tell me they didn’t have any pineapple. Our food came about 37minutes after we ordered which is a considerable wait and they didn’t look very busy. My lasagna was ok, a little small and lacked meat and sauce. Marty’s chicken salad was ok needed more chicken. It was 36 € for both meals, 1 beer and a service charge (or tourist charge) which is too expensive for what we had.
