Oppio Caffè

Terible experience of a restaurant in Rome. The food are regular, attention was terrrible bad. We have an incident with the waiter who shot and bad coffee staining a dress of my wife and I wanted to pay for it. Never in my life i will go there. Be carefull.

Avoid here. Worst place and the rudest staff ever encountered anywhere.
I arrived with my parents and pregnant wife with a view to get a croissant and coffee before the big day touring the Colloseum, but they were sold out of croissants and so we ordered the brunch which consisted of 2 fried eggs, a piece of bacon and a piece of toast (8 €) and ordered coffee separately. Three of us ordered cappuccino and an another the American coffee. The American coffee came in a glass which was filthy around the rim so I returned that inside to nonplussed staff who replaced it. Then my wife came inside with my mothers coffee cup which had a dirty coffee ring ½ way down, completely unwashed since last use. The barrister (or probably not) also wasn’t phased about this either. Unfortunately breakfast arrived while we were complaining and we gave it a chance. Wish we didn’t. I feel sick as a dog 8 hours later. Absolutely the worst dump I’ve ever been too and the staff attitudes where all appalling.
Save your money. There’s a lot of tourist traps around but this is the worst.

Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT go here for the nasty buffet. Although the view is very very tempting for dinner, holy hell the buffet was disgusting.
We had to wait 20 minutes for our first drink… Told the waiter it’s insane we have to wait that long for a draft beer and left immediately after.
The disgusting «all you can eat» buffet was significantly worse than having to wait for the drink.

Came here straight from the Colosseum and just needed a place to crash for a snack and drink. Stopped off at Oppio kind of expecting the kind of tourist trap to be expected when the place is right across the street from the Colosseum.
Pleasant surprise was the pizza we ordered (Prosciutto pizza) tasted quite good and the service was prompt and friendly. The fries we ordered was so-​so at best. Price was a bit higher the normal too because of the proximity to the Colosseum.
Get a drink and a snack but I would say move on if expecting a deeper experience.

This could’ve been a phenomenal place. The view of the Colosseum is incredible. We went there around 2:30 and wanted to sit outside.
Our server may have possibly been the problem…
We said we just wanted to have some drinks, maybe eat later. He told us we’d have to eat or move inside. I have no problem eating, so we ordered.
In the process, we saw at least 10 tables turned away from outside. Most left, one couple went in doors.
Our server was «kinda» a D bag. I’ll never understand that as we left a 20 € tip with one that had an tremendous personality by the Pantheon. When we feel we’re a hinderance, we don’t spend much. His loss…

Personnel très sympathique, mais personnellement j’ai jamais manger un salade Césars aussi particulière pour rester polie!!!

Stopped here for lunch with my husband and toddler. Its view of the Colosseo is breathtaking. Their burgers and fries were okay, but satisfied our craving for American food. The service was just okay. We made the mistake of ordering pop which costed us 5 euros each! Their restrooms are disgusting and are far worse than the bathrooms you use on an airplane. I have a theory regarding the cleanliness of a restaurant’s bathroom: If a bathroom is kept dirty, than the kitchen is just as bad. If you must go here, have a drink outside on the patio to enjoy the view, then leave!

Went here for aperitivo which according to our b&b owner is a kind of Italian happy hour where you order a drink and get a bunch of free snacks.
We chose Oppio because it was the closest place to where we were staying. Aperitivo here starts at 5.30pm and ends at 10pm. You pay EUR12 and get a free drink (which needs to be EUR8 or less) and unlimited access to the snack buffet.
I ordered a Moscow mule which just tasted like watered down vodka with a hint of ginger. The buffet isn’t heated so all the food was cold and soggy or cold and stale.
The bar/​restaurant looks and feels like a tacky nightclub with plastic furniture and neon blue lighting. If you sit on the right side of the restaurant though you get a pretty good view of the colosseum.
I guess it is a pretty good deal but for me I’d rather be a nice restaurant with nice drinks with controlled but delicious snacks. I think there’s a few places in Rome that do do this but unfortunately for us time ran out.

Be careful to eat here, the prices are high, service is slow, and food is microwaved. Lasagna is soggy and flavorless, pizzas looks reheated, and club sandwich is a glorified grilled cheese. great view tho.

Pros
+ FOOD: I loved the pizza that I got from the a la carte menu. It had artichokes, prosciutto and even eggs!
Cons
— BUFFET: the buffet looked very lack luster. If you’re absolutely starving, it might be worth it but nonetheless it didn’t look particularly appetizing.
— SERVICE: Though friendly, that weren’t as attentive as I would’ve liked.
Keep in mind that tipping isn’t a custom that Italians practice. If you have a travel credit card, there isn’t a tipping option on the credit card machine!

Bastante bien por estar literalmente en frente del coliseo.
Los precios rondan los 10 €. Pedí una ensalada y estaba muy buena. Recién hecha.
No te atienden rápido porque son distraídos, parece. Pero pueden entrar a pedir que les tomen la orden y vienen.
El wifi (golazo) es Oppio+caffe2000.

Bön je viens voler au secours de cet endroit qui a été un de mes premiers testings pour cette 2^nd fois dans la capitale italienne car même pas 3 étoiles c’est tres exagéré. J’y vais sur les conseils d’un ami qui me dit qu’on a une vue imprenable sur le Colisée depuis la terrasse car le restaurant se trouve sur le début de la colline. Banco pour ce point là il avait raison, super jolie petite terrasse a l’extérieur juste en face du Colisée c’était vraiment magnifique.
Après côté plat on décide de prendre toutes les 2 des spaghettis à la carbonara. Ba oui c’est mon plat préféré et en France il est souvent trop saboté donc quand l’occasion se présente pour en manger des vrais je fonce. Elle étaient excellentes, vraiment très bonne. Le poivre était très bien dosé et la serveuse aux petits soins pour nous. Accompagné d’un verre de vin rouge, l’ensemble était un sans faute.
Pour continuer sur cette voie on nous apporte la note et a peine 27E presque donné quoi. Et ce que j’ai adoré ici, c’est que l’on né nous a pas fait payer les couverts. Dans beaucoup de restaurants à Rome c’est 1,50E/personne!
Il y a également le wifi et ils servent continuellement un buffet en illimité pas trop cher mais je né l’ai pas goûté. Perso je trouve qu’il est sous noté et je le recommande sans problème.

Drinks, excellent.
Food, delicious.
View, unbelievable.
Low key tourist activity. Cheers!

We mainly wanted to eat dinner here for the view, I mean you are right next to the Colosseum. We ended up also really enjoying the food. We both had pasta, which was good, but the highlight of the meal was the Chianti. I’m not a big red wine person but this wine was great! A little homemade Italian food, a little red wine, a little music, and an unbeatable view of the Colosseum… enough said!

This place is a shame! They let you pay € 3 for a coffee! Or you are allowed do have a coffee at € 1 but only standing and going away straight away! You have to pay an extra even to take a coffee sitting on the stool ! This is not Italian culture! I will never come back! And i recommend to avoid it! And the coffee was burn and cold! And the cups were cold! And what about a smile? I did not see it! As An Italian leaving outside Italy I can tell you that is just a place where they want to take advantage of the tourists!

The service sucked. The view is the only thing they have going for them. We ordered drinks, as in sodas and it took twenty minutes to get them. Yikes right. Literally all of the stars here are for location only.

Great view, decent pizza and a ‘normale’ price. The service was efficient and you’re eating in front of the Colloesseo. What more could a girl on a ‘Roman Holiday’ ask for?

This was so close to the Colosseum that my Tourist Trap Radar was running pretty high. Pricey but not too bad — we opted for the € 6 specials of the day: Cannolini and Tortiglioni a Ragu… both good portions that tasted great, and saved us from blowing the budget ordering off the menu. Excellent house wine € 5.
The place was crowded but the service was still good. The toilets were a bit sparse, and at one point there were about 8 – 10 people lined up to use the 2 toilets.
We had a great view of the Colosseum from our table by the window. Overall, it was a decent place that wasn’t a complete rip-​off.

My friends and I found this little gem after a day of shopping. We were astounded by the awesome view of the Colosseum at night. We were even more astounded at the apéritif for 10 euro that included an all you can eat buffet and a drink.
It seems like a nice place where locals came after work and see enjoyed doing something in Rome that wasn’t too touristy. Overall, the food was decent. There was so much to choose from that there really aren’t any complaints. The waitresses did a great job of restocking the buffet line every 10 minutes or so.
Next time I’m in Rome, I’ll definitely be back!

Just had 2 different salads at 10 euros each. The lettuce had a dark color, clearly not fresh and cut long before serving. Service was fast. This is expensive for the quality. We will not come back and would not recommend it.

Don’t go there, I mean it! Yes, it’s right beside the Collosseum, but prices are high, service is bad and the toilets are the most grizzly thing I’ve ever seen in a European place! Only the shitty hole which was supposed to be the restroom in a Kenyan bus station I’ve been to was even worse.
Instead of a floor the Oppio toilets have a grid and to keep away the drug addicts there is blue light. Because of this, lots of people miss the bowl and all the rests under the grid till Judgement Day. Know what I mean?
Yuk!
