L'Archetto di Fontana di Trevi: How Many Ways To Serve Spaghetti?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • There are 105 items on the spaghetti section of the menu. All spaghetti. Please don’t ask for fusilli, vermicelli, rigatoni, capellini, fettuccine, linguine, tagliatelle, campanelle, farfalle, or penne. There is none of those. Although you can order other dishes such as pizza, fish, and meat, when it comes to pasta, you have only two choices here: spaghetti or bust. Low price, good portion, this is a good place if you travel with children or on a budget. The restaurant is large and always busy so do not expect any attention from the waitstaff. One thing to remember: Make sure the waiter knows you would like to have your change back. When we paid the bill, the waiter assumed the rest of the money (15% of the bill) was the tip. He took the notes, thanked us, and never came back with the change. I have found this kind of assumption and/or expectation exist in quite a few restaurants in Rome where tourists make up a large part of clientele. The waitstaffs who deal with tourists daily -- especially good tipper Americans who are not aware that service charge is already included in the bill -- take it for granted that they earn a gratuity just for bringing out the food. The restaurant is close on Mondays.

    Some dishes are better than others. The bruschette are very good, the tomato-base sauces are decent, the cream-base sauces are passable, the pesto is mediocre.

    L'Archetto di Fontana di Trevi: Popi Popi -Fantastic Local Italian Dining in Rome
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Somewhat off the beaten path, but DEFINITELY worth the taxi ride!!! We found this restaurant by mistake, we were actually looking for another restaurant which I had read about on this website. When we couldn't locate the restaurant, the taxi driver told us that Popi Popi was very good...what a great great tip! The place was packed with all locals, almost everyone there was speaking Italian. The tables outside were all full since it was starting to cool off for the evening, so unfortunately we had to sit inside the restaurant. It wasn't too bad since the waiter was nice enough to seat us under a ceiling fan. Definitely the best meal I had in Rome!

    We shared a Ravioli dish for our appetizer, the gravy (sauce) was absolutely delicious. For my main dish, I had the Beef Carpaccio over fresh Arrugula with shaved parmasean cheese...I drizzled olive oil over it, the taste was amazing!!!! For dessert I had the best creme brulee I had ever tasted. All our food was so fresh, and so flavorful...I would absolutely recommend Popi Popi to anyone visiting Rome.

    We passed this place while strolling the backstreets one night and found it packed with what appeared to be mostly Italians. It's only a couple blocks from the Trevi Fountain and shared its name with the street that it was on, so we made a mental note and planned to return. We came back the next night and had a wonderful, late meal. Closed the place down in fact, which is something of an achievement considering how late Italians tend to eat. The pizza and pasta were fantastic, and my girlfriend simply wouldn't shut up about how the Pasta Arrabiata was the best she's EVER had.
