I think because they are busy all the time that they feel they don't need your business. I am a single woman, and because I was just ONE person, the host made me wait 45 minutes while he seated MANY other parties. The tables were not even all filled and he sat parties together that did not know each other.... more

This was my husband and my second trip to Rome, first time for our friends and we really wanted them to experience this pizzeria. Be prepared to compromise for issues like seating and service, but the pizza really is excellent and good value for your money. We were seated outside (there were six of us), at a table with another... more

This was the best pizza in the city. The atmosphere was great.. tucked away near Piazza Navona. The prices were reasonable for the food and wine, too. I went three times during my 2 week stay in Rome. It is quite popular, though, so it is common to wait in lines just to be seated. It was worth the wait... more

The pizza here is a great thin crust and it comes out of the oven quick. My favorite part of the dining experience was watching the interaction of the characters who work there. They are very animated and at times intimidating, but they made for a pleasurable dining experience. Luckily we got in line a few minutes before it opened... more

We were staying nearby and walked past the long queue several times during the week and finally decided to stop and see why people were willing to wait so long to eat here. It was just after opening so we were able to be seated immediately but there were quite a few customers there already - there is a lot... more

The pizza may be the best, but the service is surely the worse you can get. I was there with my wife and the owner put us behind the door, at a really unpleasant spot. The waiter came and threw a menu with lots of options and came back within less than 1 minute and got angry since we were... more

Just returned from Italy and we made sure to eat dinner one night at Pizzera Baffetto. I had heard wonderful things about this pizzeria. Got there when they opened so as to avoid standing in the long lines that form. Service was just so-so & the food was mediocre at best. We ate a ton of pizza on our 16-day... more

I have dragged my friends to Rome from England just for the Pizza at Baffetto's. Not good for the carbon footprint but cheap enough on Ryanair! Don't expect the Ritz but the pizza is excellent and the 'Don' is a legend. The pizza is thin, burnt on the edges and absolutely wonderful. One of my favourite places in the world. more

Reputed among the best in Rome, a long queue has been part of the experience for a long time. This time service has been as careless and hurried as the pizza itself - burnt all around and on top. Either bad luck, or group thinking in the queue. more

We had read this was the best pizza in town, so decided to try it. It was, and we ended up coming back for our last meal in Rome! To those who have complained about the service and atmosphere - I say lighten up! This place reminds me of the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, and if you go with that... more
