Casina del Lago

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.

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.

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

Their soya latte is my last one in Rome. It just doesn’t work in here. Always cold and with loads of foam 😭 No vegan options except store bought crisp (did not expect anything anyway). Do not understand English Nice but nothing more. Just the only place near the fake lake. Also the park is not as nice as the reviews

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.

Disappointed by the Lack of Empathy The place is beautiful, but unfortunately, the staff showed absolutely no empathy toward customers. I was there with my one-year-old daughter and asked if the place was open. I placed an order, and only after sitting down was I told that the area was reserved for a private event. When I politely asked where we could sit and explained I just needed 10 minutes to feed my baby, the response was a firm no—without any attempt to help or offer alternatives. I expressed that they should have informed me before I ordered, as I would have never stayed in such circumstances. To make things worse, I passed by the same spot 30 minutes later, and the place was still completely empty. A disappointing experience for a family simply looking for a bit of kindness and basic customer service.

Very overpriced. €3 for a cappuccino? We didn’t pay that at cafes near Trevi fountain or the colosseum. Coffee was the worst we had in Rome. Toilets are horrible. Only 1 toilet. Nobody cleans it. Waiters were nice and friendly and the cafe had good music. Cafe is Inside the park so you can enjoy a the views.

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.
