L’Archetto di Cavour

This was nothing special for 7 of us. Service was indifferent. Maybe another night or waiter it might have been better.

Enjoyed the lasagna and the service was even better. Reasonably priced for good value.

I guess there’s good and bad in everyone. Or I should say in every restaurant.
To start, I had the bruschetta. It’s a thick slice of bread topped with fresh tomato, basil and olive oil. The bruschetta was good but the bread was not. It tasted like they use old bread to make it — like from the baskets of bread that previous diners didn’t finish.
For my main, I ordered the pachino pizza, which was just mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes (no sauce). I normally like at least a little bit of sauce on my pizza or else it can be a tad try. But this one was actually pretty good. It’s also big enough to share between two people.
They didn’t have a house wine so we went with the cheapest red. which I remember being about 15 Euros or so. It was fine, nothing special. But I’ve had house wines from other places that tasted better than this.
Service was slow but we wouldn’t discover this until about halfway through our meal. Two of my friends ordered chicken, which took a while to come out. That’s understandable since it would take longer to make than something like a pizza. But when it finally came out, both of their orders were wrong so we had to put in a second order. From that point on, anytime we tried to get our waiter’s attention for something, he would pretend not to see us. It was so bad that one couple saw us struggling to be noticed and they helped flag him down FOR us.
Yeah…

The food here was absolutely delicious. We came here because it was close to the place were staying, and were very happy with our choice! I had the lasagna, which was by far the best I have ever had. My husband had a pasta (can’t remember which kind) with cream sauce and salmon. He loved it. The only (slight) downside is that it can get a bit pricy if your are having drinks and dinner, but if you’re willing to pay a little more for great food, this is a great place!

First dinner in Rome with the family. Started with the mussels and a octopus/​arugula carpaccio. The family had carbonaro, veal scallopini, pasta ragout and roasted chicken. Dessert was profiteroles, panna cotta and obligatory tiramisu. Not one single disappointment. We will definitely be back as our vacation flat is just around the corner.

We came here our first night in Rome and it did not disappoint! The tomatoes and olive oil in the bruschetta were fresh and delicious. My husband had the lasagna, which was rich and creamy. I had the bucatini and could nit have been more pleased! Hands down the best pasta sauce I’ve had. For dessert we had the panna cotta, which was yummy but not extremely flavorful. Definitely get the waiter’s wine recommendation!
