Casina del Lago

We only got 4 drinks. And then added a few food items. The drinks were smaller but decent tasting, similar to our experience at other tourist attractions. The pastries could be improved as they seemed not as fresh as from a bakery, well obviously. Price was also ok not crazy high. Came with water too which was great (I had a false belief that one has to buy water?). Server was quite nice. They have a functional toilet so that’s why we came here. The outdoor space was pleasant, lots of birds chirping. It gets busy closer to lunch time. The little flies were relentless and tried to get on our drinks the whole time!

Overall was a nice experience. When I told the waiter if I could sit in another section due to a smoker he was happy to comply. Only complaints I have is that the cheesecake was served warm and melted, and when it came to the bill he gave us the wrong change, 5 euro less than supposed

Unfortunately, this was the last and only cafe we visited before leaving Rome—sadly, it left us with a really bad impression of the city. We were enjoying a nice walk in the park when it started to rain, so we went into the cafe. Some people were still sitting outside under umbrellas, but for some reason, the staff suddenly started shouting at them, demanding they leave and falsely claiming the cafe was closing. After making our way through the chaos and finally getting a table inside, we started looking at the menu while waiting to use the toilet. But before we could even settle in, the staff came over and rudely pressured us to order drinks immediately, as if we were just there to hide from the rain without paying. So, we ordered right away—and honestly, the coffee was no surprise: cheap and watery and definitely not worth the price. When I asked for a receipt, they couldn’t even be bothered. No response, and handed the receipt to me as if I’m begging for money. If you enjoy being yelled at, rushed to order, and paying the price of coffee for warm water, this is the perfect spot. Thanks for leaving such a special final impression of Rome! Honestly, if this is considered normal, Italians should be ashamed — and if not, then something in this country is seriously off.

Great spot for a morning stop! The drinks and coffee were all excellent, but the real standout was the tiramisu—honestly the best I’ve had so far. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with care. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a cozy place to grab breakfast or just enjoy a good cup of coffee.

I came to this place with high expectations, but I was truly disappointed. The girl who was responsible for admitting the people was rude and no one understood her criteria for letting people into the restaurant. It was very confusing and annoying tbh. The food is below average. It has a lot of potential but it’s kinda hard to enjoy it when the service isn’t well.

I cannot even rate this restaurant, cannot give even one star. After enjoying our time in the garden we found this restaurant and decided to come in and enjoy some coffee but this is exactly the start of a NIGHTMARE. 1. The waiters here are more than RUDE. We come and sit for 10 minutes and we even need to stand up and almost shot for the beverage. When they helped us order, the altitude is still very bad. 2. You cannot imagine how bad the beverage they provide. Either too much suger or too tiny to drink, the beverage is more like a toy or something not eatable. 3. We are worry about the quality of the food. Some pigeons were just standing in the table and eat some left food. The glass is not clean enough. Just prevent yourself from coming into this restaurant, cherish your time and wallet.

Sketchy cafe pretending to be upscale in this beautiful park. Waiters are foreigners barely understanding English. You need to pay inside to get ice-cream from the stand outside. The ice-cream scoop was kept in an open, exposed water container. The server used his bare hands. Ice cream was industrial and very expensive.

Read some silly reviews complaining about the birds and the rain. You're literally on a gorgeous patio in a beautiful park, they don't control the weather or wildlife. Servers were very nice to us, maybe because we weren't as obnoxious as others obviously were. We really enjoyed it, got a couple beers and watched the rain fall. 10/10

The lady who greeted us was so kind! So, we thought we were walking into a great experience. However, our waiter was incredibly rude. He seemed to be in a terrible mood and had a terrible attitude. After we asked for our check, we waited about 30 minutes for him to finally bring us our check. Also, it is expensive. Way too expensive for the terrible service you receive.

Service was very slow, not speaking English, forgot our order again we need to wait along time, the only good thing is ambient.
