Teatro Cafe

Rome, Lazio, Italy

Teatro Cafe is just a few blocks away from the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. They served typical Italian food in a casual setting. The outdoor patio was covered because it was raining, but it was nice to sit outside in the rain and stay dry. We were disappointed with the food at Teatro Cafe. It was ok, but we've had better food in Italy.

Cost

The food was comparable in price to many other restaurants in the area.

Service

The service was very slow. We spent a few hours at the restaurant, but we didn't mind having the time to relax and stay out of the rain. We each ordered 2 courses, and they brought the food out in a strange order - they brought out the lasagna before the salad. The menu was in English and Italian and the servers spoke English as well.

Items Ordered

Minestrone Con Pasta

Italian vegetable soup with pasta

The soup was pretty good and had quite a bit of vegetables and pasta in it. It didn't have much of a tomato base to it.

Caprese pomodoro e mozzarella di bufala

Tomatoes and mozzarella bufalo

The salad was served with olive oil and vinegar on the side. The cheese in the salad was very good and fresh. The tomatoes were not so good, and green.

Lasagna

Baked noodles with meat and tomato sauce

There was nothing to complain about the lasagna. It was simple but good.

Pizza Cappricciosa

with olives, eggs, mushrooms, little artichokes and ham

I had mixed feelings about the pizza. The dough and cheese were good. I didn't like the toppings as much. I wanted to try it because I heard it was very traditional. The ham was difficult to eat because it didn't cut nicely, and the artichokes had a bit of a strange slightly pickled taste. The pizza was quite large for one small person to eat on their own.
