La Gallina Bianca

La Gallina Bianca in Rome appears to be a quintessential tourist spot, with its charm and location seemingly tailored for visitors. Nestled in the bustling heart of the city, it surprisingly lacks the typical crowd even on a Friday night. This makes it a haven for those looking to dine without the usual hustle and bustle. The ambiance, while cozy, reflects a space that caters predominantly to tourists. Upon being seated, I ordered a glass of wine, which turned out to be quite disappointing. The serving size was minuscule, barely fitting the description of a "glass." It felt more like a sampler than a proper serving, which was underwhelming, especially in a city renowned for its generous wine culture. For those following a vegan diet, La Gallina Bianca presents a challenging dining experience. The menu is heavily skewed towards pizza, with virtually no vegan alternatives. However, I appreciated the staff’s transparency about their cooking practices, as they openly stated that even dry pasta is cooked in the same water as non-vegan items, leading to possible contamination. This upfront honesty is commendable, although it does little to enhance the vegan dining options. The pizza, the star of the menu, is decent but not extraordinary. It serves its purpose but doesn’t leave a lasting impression. The toppings and crust are satisfactory but lack the wow factor one might expect from an authentic Roman pizza. It's enjoyable, but nothing that will linger in your memory long after your visit. I also tried the grilled vegetables, which were a letdown. For the price, the portion size was surprisingly small. The vegetables were well-cooked and seasoned but did not justify the cost. This made the dish feel overpriced and underwhelming. Overall, La Gallina Bianca offers a mixed experience. It provides a quiet escape from the city's crowds, but the food and portions leave much to be desired. If you're looking for a reliable but not exceptional meal in a tranquil setting, this might be the place. However, for those seeking a memorable culinary adventure, it might be best to explore other options in Rome. Three stars for the peaceful ambiance and straightforward service, but there's ample room for improvement in the dining experience.

La Gallina Bianca, restaurant. It is an excellent restaurant, with lovely decoration and a good and relaxing atmosphere. The place is clean. We got excellent service. The food is delicious and tasty. We were a group of 80 people at the restaurant. They served: The first dish is a traditional Brosketa, friede Carciofo (artichoke), and fresh salad. The second dish is pizza Margarita. The third dish is pasta Cacio e Pepe. And we finished with desserts, traditional sweet cakes, and espresso coffee. I warmly recommend La Gallina Bianca restaurant.

The steak was absolutely disgusting €21 we paid each. The steak had lots of fat inside and wasn’t cooked correctly. We have came from London and we will not be coming back to this restaurant unfortunately. The best thing we had eaten was the bread…. But the staff were really nice and very welcoming.

The prices are different on the menu and on the receipt at the end. There was hair in the mozzarella stick, we returned it but they made us pay it, after all. The service was good! The most interesting thing is that on the menu it doesn’t say that there will be a service charge which is 10euro! I wonder if the locals pay a service charge, or just the tourists. Been in Italy for 5 days now, seeing this big service charge for the first time.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. They charged €1.50 per person for cutlery and bread, but no bread was provided. On top of that, they added a 20% service charge, which was neither mentioned anywhere nor justified. I felt like I was being scammed. I strongly discourage anyone from dining here!

The restaurant is very nice and staff is great. The food is good and they offer an entire gluten free menu.

The pizza was the best I’ve ever eaten!!! Was there like 7 times and it was always great, nice people and tasty food!

The hotel I stayed recommend this to us (calling it the ‘white chicken’ restaurant given their logo. The pasta were best I have had and priced reasonably given the venue and location. They have a wood fire oven for their pizzas but I ran out of time to try them during my visit. The staff recommended good wine paring with the dishes and were friendly. Will be back for sure to try their pizza.
