This restaurant serves you average (litlle below) quality food for really low price. Good value for your money, but not more.

By far the best vakue for money in Rome,OK so you have to cross the Tiber river,but even getting a taxi from the centre of Rome to this eatery you are still going to save.The food is excellent the price is even better .

It was packed with tourists. But the restaurant was huge and turnover fast. We got a place outside. After a quarter pitcher of wine, we ordered a carbonara and some sort of ham and grilled cheese, which I do not remember the name. Both dishes were very tasty. I was surprised at how delicious the carbonara was considering it was... More

This is exactly where you will never see a Roman eating, lunch nor dinner. The price is so low that I cannot say that this is a trap for tourists, but the food is so average and the raw ingredients are so medium quality that you will never know what Italian cousin is about if you are eating here... So,... More

After was checking some restaurants I sat down in Carlo Menta because of prices (as some other reviews have pointed). Actually I went there 2 times and both times ordered penne Carlo Menta cause I loved the creamy sauce and the taste... More

We went there after we 've heard that thats a good value for money restaurant. Well...NO! It is extremely cheap, yes. The quality though doesnt even meet the really cheap price. Lets start from the beggining: The menu is in Italian language but there is the translation in English underneath every option. We ordered the garlic bread. It wasnt a... More

this is one of the restaurants with the cheapest prices from the area, but with great food. Even if I heard some people saying that it is too touristic and the food does not have the italian taste I can confirm it is not like this. We ate in other specific italian restaurants and the food from Carlo Menta was... More

This was ceratinly the poorest meal we had during a week of dining out in Trastevere. The staff tried their best but the game plan of the restaurant was clearly to entice people in with the very low prices on the menu (it worked for us!) then try its best to serve a full house with a fast turnover.

I don't know many places in heartof rome (trastevere) that serve respectable pizzas for 3-4 euros in a convivial atmosphere with outdoor seating that would cost twice the price in similar locations. we've also enjoyed their pastas and risotti, good roast chicken and other customers seem to appreciate the other secondi (fish and meats). friendly service and veru child- even...
