Why Travelers Love La Base
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
GO TO LA BASE!!! Best BEST food we ate in Rome, we went back 2x for dinner and once more for dessert because nothing else could compare for that price. I can't remember the exact name, but the Market Place pasta was to die for (mushroom and truffle pasta), along with the four cheese penne pasta. The tiramisu and chocolate cake was excellent as well. Shout out to Vikam (I'm sorry if i get his name wrong but i know thats close) for excellent service every time, and everyone else in the restaurant was also lovely. It has a Cool atmosphere as well, with art all over the walls and fun mood lighting. I can't recommend this place highly enough and I'm going back first thing the next time I'm in Rome. We came looking for rissoto mashrooms. We saw the place had high rating (4.2) so we came. The rissoto was bad, didn't taste like mushrooms, the mushrooms felt like they were from a can, which might be since they have such a big menu. The other dish that was just pork and fries was good. Disappointing overall. But the service was good. Honestly the best family restaurant in town. Food was amazing, great customer service. It went there twice, couldn't get enough of the place. Sadly we only discovered this restaurant the day before we left Rome, so we only managed to dine in twice. Absolutely we'll revisit when in Rome again.

Found this place randomly as I stayed at a hotel nearby and was one of the few places opened till late. I sat at the bar and arrived after 12AM and the place was still packed with a nice atmosphere. Gica was the bartender and he took great care of me. Food looked tasty too but I didn’t get the chance to try it.
