"We had lunch here after the visit to the Vatican (it’s not really that close, about 15 minute walk). We ordered: The grilled octopus: decent price, well cooked The schnitzel: not very big, it was a bit rough to cut and eat. Grilled vegetables: aubergine was undercooked, the bell pepper was a bit cold and burned and the zucchini was just ok. We also ordered a water, all this came to €36, no coperto was charged. What I need to point out, is that the service was just terrible, when taking our order, the waiter told me to give him a second to write down (the 3 things we asked for) in a very aggressive manner. The we asked for salt, he gave it to another table and when we pointed this out he stomped it in our table. We did not feel like asking him for anything more at this point and opted for other servers. Around the restaurant we could also see that things were not going well, on one table the got the order wrong 4 times, on another they brought the wrong dish, when the person pointed this out they did not receive and apology and a correction, but he was confronted and told that was what he ordered and they brought the menu so he point out what he wanted, then they fixed the mistake. The food was fine, but with the service they offer, I would not recommend this restaurant."

It's not bad, the cacio e pepe I had was a little more watery than creamy but the seafood pasta that my wife had was fantastic.

Very delicious past and super professional and friendly services. The place is huge and has two floors, but I am the best place to sit outside

Insanely delicious fresh fish. Pizza is ridiculously tasty street chow, and the service is perfect! Ate here 2x in our 3 day trip and will be coming back our next trip to Rome.

My husband and I dined here during our short stay in Rome. Best meal we had our whole trip! The server was the best we have ever had. I wish we knew his name! The Florentine T-bone was to die for. The wine, dessert, and limoncello went perfectly with all our food. This is a MUST if you are in Rome.

This was an amazing EXPERIENCE for us, worth the high prices. Our waiter was phenomenal! He had good English, we loved his thick accent and personality, was very entertaining and funny and went overboard to serve us. We left him a tip even though it 's not custom in Italy, we wanted to show our gratitude. The food was good, but mostly we loved the experience, atmosphere and just the perfect romantic evening in Roma .

We had several meals at Papa Rex, while we were in Rome. We received excellent service from all staff. We enjoyed the leisurely pace of our meals, Excellent house wine both white and red. Great attention to the fresh preparation and presentation of each course. From Antipasti to Dessert, Pictured is the Salmon with roasted vegetables. The flavors were amazing. Everything perfectly prepared and served. We felt the prices were fair. We highly recommend Papa Rex Ristoranta,

Food was pretty good, nothing too great, wait times were decent, prices are decent, but we had a really bad experience with the waiter, who after 2 of the 4 of us didn 't want a drink, just food, decided to have a pretty arrogant attitude, constantly sighing while delivering our plates, and after we payed the bill, told us that the tip was cash only. Of course there was no room for tip with such attitude. After we left I saw him on through the windows waving towards us in frustration, probably dissapointed that we didn 't leave a tip for his great service.

We were a very large group of people, 18 of us. Such a great experience! Our waiter was just amazing. So much fun but yet still professional and treated us so well and never seemed stressed out. I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed so hard and so much! The food was also soooo good. Prices were more than reasonable but portions were just right. I had the beef and it was so good. Cooked very well. I rarely eat beef but I was on vacation so what the heck. The portions were such that we got to taste a little of each others meals. I definitely recommend that if you are in Rome that you try this place. US traveler.

It 's was a very pleasant dinner! The service was excellent! We had a charming waiter. Very friendly and had good humor, not to much, a good amount! The food was very nice! We had the tagliere papa Rex and insalata di mare as first course, salmone in crosta di sesamo con contorno di verdure grigliate and pizza caprese as main dish. The finale was a Tiramisu and a torta all 'arancia . Every single course was very good, especially for the price. We drank two glasses of wine, a big bottle of mineral water and one espresso. The open house wine was very good as well. We paid 72,5€! I would recommend it to anyone, it was very good food in combination with a nice atmosphere and good friendly servic...
