Cafeteria Restaurant Castel Sant’Angelo: Reviews
The location has a score of four stars out of five on Google and four points out of five on TripAdvisor.
Small but efficient, this bar-restaurant is clearly praised for its location, but also for the service, the quality of the food and the value for money.
To ensure an unbiased and complete assessment, I also read the negative reviews for you. Although clearly in the minority, these testimonials seem to underline all those problems that characterise overcrowded venues in Rome: some users complained of long waits to be seated, lack of attention from the staff and numerous missing dishes.
Overall, however, these occasional inefficiencies seem not to have affected the experience of most users. The reviews convey a general enthusiasm for this exclusive dining spot with its spectacular view.
Il locale dispone di personale in grado di effettuare il servizio anche in lingue straniere. Ti segnalo, inoltre, che il servizio al tavolo prevede un sovrapprezzo.
