Rossopomodoro

Very pleased with this place. The room is modern, pleasant and comfortable. The service was fine. We came very early in the evening for Rome — about 1700. So, we pretty much had the place to ourselves, although other foreign barbarians trailed in shortly after us. We had two kinds of wine, two kinds of pizza and bruschetti. We expected a wait for the pizza, but it arrived shortly after the bruschetti, so that was a little awkward. The pizzas were better than any we’d seen elsewhere in the various places we’ve eaten in or observed this week. Wonderful, inventive variety, also, using ingredients that made for a very interesting experience. I’d recommend this for a chance to try something outside the standard menu around Rome. We didn’t try the seafood, but I’d bet that, given the quality of the offerings we did try, it’s probably first rate.

Sehr gutes Restaurant… Wir hatten ein Rindersteak «medium»… Perfekt auf einer heißen Steinplatte serviert…
Auch fanden wir gut, dass hier gerne Englisch mit uns gesprochen wird…

Our friends from Rome had us meet them here. It’s right across the street from where Caesar was killed (bonus tourist site). Very nice interior. Lots of room and very casual. Two stories. The wait staff was very friendly. The wine list was very good. You can’t go wrong with any thing on it. We all had pizzas. The margarita was great! The crust was just salty enough to be really tasty. The sauce was great. The kids went for the spicy salami Masesse pizza. It was perfect. The salami had a nice spice to it. We shared a very generous and good green salad. And ended the evening with really good tiramisu and limoncello. Great choice if your looking for a modern restaurant with fresh ingredients and great choices.

The food was very good and tasty, as was all the food I ate in Italy, with the exception of one pizza place that was terrible.
My only thing about restaurants in Italy is that I feel like the service was lacking, and this place was no exception, but I can’t really dock off that many stars when it’s kind of a cultural thing and also because the food was so good.
The pasta, pizza, and caprese salad were excellent. Also, they have free wifi and the password is the name of the restaurant in all caps. They didn’t know their own password so I just figured it out on my own.

Even though we were a little nervous due to the other Unilocalers we decided to do it because it was right next to our hotel and we were done walking. However all of the food was great. The appetizer which was eggplant rolled on mozz, tomatoes and basil was great. Then both pasta dishes were ordered were really good as well. The only bad thing was it did take some time for the app to get to the table but other than that the service was good.

I’m a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza. And while I live in Rome, I know my mission is going to be finding good Neapolitan pizza places in Rome. I just can’t get enough of it. Came to this place because a few bloggers have mentioned it, and I wasn’t disappointed. The pizza was light and fluffy and delicious. We also had an appetizer of basically eggplant parmesan, which was really good. The service is kind of slow and hectic (Waiters are running around all the time even if it’s not busy), but I think that’s normal around here.

Went there the other day for dinner, best Neapolitan pizza I have so far found in Rome. My wife told me that some reviewers thought they brought the water from Naples to do their pizzas, and while not exactly true, this chain has mastered the art of good pizza making. Prices are actually better than elsewhere in Rome and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. However, make sure you go with plenty of time, not starving as I did, because you’ll end up waiting an eternity for your pizza and anything, including your waiter (though we found out that our waiter was more responsive if my wife yelled «Scusatemi!!! Potrebbe portarmi [qualsiasi cosa]???» I’m not sure if it was because she was yelling or because she’s a good looking woman.

Das Rosso Pomodoro liegt unübersehbar an der Westseite der Piazza Argentina neben der gleichnamigen Straßenbahnhaltestelle. Von außen sieht der Laden sehr klein aus. Aber nicht täuschen lassen, das wirklich großzügige, auch für kleine Gruppen bis 10 Personen geeignete Lokal erstreckt sich zu 80% in der ersten Etage. Das Ambiente ist sehr modern, clean und aufgeräumt, mir gefällt es jedenfalls. Die Kellner sind flott, jedoch mäßig freundlich, aber an Touristen gewöhnt. Man wird sofort gefragt, ob man die italienische oder die englische Speisekarte haben möchte. Eine deutsche gibt es nicht!
Die Bestellung läuft auch einigermaßen zügig. Das Essen kommt nach angemessener Zeit und gleichzeitig für alle. Wir hatten Gelegenheit, zu sehen, was aus der Küche geschickt wurde. Das wirkte alles ordentlich, appetitlich und frisch. Auch die Pizzen, die wir bestellt hatten waren in Ordnung, allerdings kein Höhepunkt. Zum Beispiel waren die Kapern auf meiner Pizza extrem salzig, die gehören eigentlich erst etwas gewässert. Ein Hinweis an vermeintliche und tatsächliche Pizzaexperten: Hier wird die Pizza napoletanisch zubereitet, das heißt dicker, teilweise schwarzer Rand, in der Mitte dafür dünn. Das ist Geschmacksache, aber erwähnenswert, weil sich so mancher gern mal über solche Pizzen beschwert.
Der Grund, warum wir in den Laden gingen, war der günstige Einstiegspreis von 5,50 Euro für eine Pizza Margarita. Normalerweise geht man dafür im Zentrum Roms nicht unter 7 Euro an den Start. Der Preis relativiert sich schnell, da je Gast 2 Euro Coperto gefordert werden. Dafür erhält man aber nur das Besteck, keine Scheibe Brot oder ein Olivchen. Diese gastronomische Dürftigkeit hat einen Stern gekostet, neben den gelangweilten Kellnern.
Trotzdem macht man hier nichts falsch: Das Essen ist solide, die Lage günstig. Als Tourist fällt man hier nicht herein. Positiv ist auch, dass man einen Blick in die Küche werfen kann. Diese Option hätte ich gern öfter
