Meccanismo Bistrot in Vatican City

Breakfast was good. The place is busy, you will need patience on a Sunday morning

Good service. Try the espresso mecanismo. Chocolate coffee and cinnamon

Super cool, super central, great cocktails

A bar in trastevere, where you can eat many little choices together. Why not?

Good food, clean, American breakfast was good

We had a food tour guide who stopped here for a drink. Staff was excellent and with more wine to choose from than anybody would ever need . Definitely going back while on this trip!

Pretentious, cant just order a beer at the bar, need a table first (and obviously takes ages for someone to come)

Nice interior, nice potato chips, nice drinks BUT cocky and arrogant service, and not everything that was on the menu was available.

The service is terrible. The place is nice but the staff is disrespectful. You pay for a service and you cant sit anywhere (there are people with their coffees in the street because they wont let you inside).

This was my most enjoyable experience in Roma!The person at the register is so friendly, funny and kind. I really loved chatting with him- I’m sorry I did not get your name but to the sir at the register- thank you thank you for your conversation ❤️The espresso is superb and the cucumber mint fresh juice was refreshing and perfect for hydrating in the August heat.The service was attentive and warm. Everyone was really nice and my experience was perfect.Thank you and I look forward to staying closer to you next time so I can come in every morning for breakfast 🍳Also, this neighborhood is such a hidden gem of otherwise busy crowded central Rome 💫

My partner had to use the toilet and we asked if we could use it. 3 bored looking waiters chatting amongst themselves at the entrance refused her dismissevely to use the toilet saying "for customers only". The restaurant was basically empty. How can this be accepted these days if we have so many people with hidden disabilities. It was a genuine emergency and if people ask to use the toilet they dont do this out of fun or to trash the place. We rushed 10m further to the next restaurant where it was no problem to use the toilet.You have lost 2 future customers.Please management discuss this with your team and rethink your policy.Apart from that it looked really nice in there.

Great food right on Piazza Trilussa, in the heart of the Trastevere neighborhood! They offer Italian counter breakfast (cornetto & cappuccinoas well as American breakfast at the table (eggs, toast, pancakes etc.). For lunch, there is always a "Menu of the Day" (menù del giornofreshly prepared by the chef on that day that typically costs between €8 to €12 per dish. They offer a variety of salads, burgers as well as different types of cous cous and meat dishes. Meccanismo also offers a nice aperitivo (€12 per person including drinks and a "tagliere" foodand variety of cocktails in the evening. The environment is friendly and casual.

A nice place in Trastevere...I went there for aperitivo. I had a good cocktail 🍸 "TIMELESS" and they bought me a lot of food...!!!My daughter had a big cheeseburger with chips...really good and tasty 🔝🔝🔝🔝Very nice and kind staff, quick service and good atmosphere..love it 👍 ❤️!!!!Had a great time..think Im coming back for American breakfast!!! I 💯💯💯💯🔝🔝🔝

Great place to drink like the locals and the croissants are delicious

Friendly staff abd nice vibes, right next to piazza trilussa in trastevere where all the fun happens . Highly recommended 👌🏻

From breakfast to late night is a must for food and drinks. Cool vibe throughout the day. Great barmen and chefs.

Great place for breakfast when youre in Trastevere. A mix of American breakfast and regular Italian breakfast.Non of which i applaud...but nevertheless I great place to start the day.Ok, so i came back to this place again. The service was just horrible... Came together with another party. They got their food, ate it and paid before our food even arrived.Non of the beverages arrived when we got the food. They did however provided a discount for the mishap..but nevertheless.. Ill try another place for breakfast next time.

This is the worst place I have been in Europe. They spilled espresso martini all over me, I had a white shirt on. Never going back

It was a nice experience in there... We stop for a drink and we stay for long, first time in Rome and I wants to go back. 🍹

The service was really poor. The managers or owners were having a business meeting in the middle of the restaurant. They took up a table of four as two people. Yet we were asked to move as there were only two of us at a table of four. On another table of four there were also only two girls. Thought this was unfair. The restaurant was empty. The Falafel burger tasted bland and tasteless. The chips by the way are crisps.

Quality of the food and the drinks are very bad. All glases are dirty and the staff is unpolite and its seems like they dont want to work here

What a bummer, this is a nice space in a fantastic location. No problem with my Italian American IPA or my wife’s glass of Chardonnay. It’s that our server, a young woman, seemed detached to the point of boredom, as though she’d rather be elsewhere. It reminded us of the value of warm, friendly staff to make customers feel welcome. Her attitude was so off-putting we thought of leaving but ultimately stayed to finish our drinks. I hope management reads this. Perhaps she was having an off night but we have no interest in returning to Meccanismo after this disappointing experience.

Bad experience. Waiters do not want to work or neither enjoying it to be there with the clients. One burger was missing on the table and it took them 30 minutes to get it what made one of us eat alone

Quality of food was ok, nothing like a good tasty Italian dish but was ok.Bathroom was totally disgusting.

Very nice place with cool vibe inside. We have tried fancy seasonal drinks (10€and classic Cuba Libre (8€). The playlist was great, we shazamed every single song 😅

Waited forever for a well cooked cheese burger which wasnt worth it. The waitress told me it was basically my fault bc well cooked burgers take long. The cheese looked like plastic and tasted like nothing

I enjoyed your aperetivo offer. Thats great idea and everything was tasty :p

Nice vibes,friendly staffs and super nice cocktailsThey are serving real cocktails,a little bit strong with beautiful decoration:)

One of the best places I have ever been to. The breakfast is really delicious, the desserts are nice. The service is professional. Thank you for everything 🙂

We went here for breakfast. The menu aims at american turists - american style breakfast and burgers and fries. The coffee is the worst coffee Ive had in Rome, the pancakes I had were overly sweet and soaking in oil. It was much too expensive for what we actually got. I feel like if you go anywhere else, you will get something better. Not terrible but why pay for something mediocre. The only person who could be satisfied by this is a first time visitor from The States.

The food was quite good although they do not have a great selection of finger food to share and tapas. The service is not all very helpful or maybe they were already exhausted except for Adriana who was very friendly and gentle.PD. The bathroom was quite dirty and the restaurant was not so crowded.

Really good aperitivo place! For the price they give you drink + a huge plate full of snacks. You get a mix of lasagna, supplí, chips etc. So delicious!

Nice aperitivo, one of the best in Rome. Service was good but I chose to rate with 3 stars because of the awful toilet. Bad hygiene, no paper, no soap, bad smell, nothing good. Unacceptable situation in covid Era.

Good food, great place.

Great food, but aperitivo was meh.

I spent over a week in Rome with my boyfriend. As much as I love Italian food, I need a good comfort American food. The burger was delicious as well as the fries! There’s plenty of selection in terms of beer and wine. Great escape if you need a little comfort food.

Is it a full-blown Dennys All-American Grand Slam? No. But this is one of the more American breakfasts around Rome. Think the continental breakfast you might get at a hotel back in the states. Its good, it satiates that craving for pancakes and sausage, but you wont be whistling the national anthem on the way out. The restaurant is cool and definitely had an American vibe, aside from the Tabacchi inside the from door. Generous indoor and outdoor seating, even in this, the age of Corona. Overall, good! You wont be transported back to America, but you will experience a satisfying nostalgia.

Read that the American breakfast was weird but went anyways and were pleasantly surprised. Sure maybe the salad is out of place, but still tasty all around - sausages, bacon, eggs, pancakes, coffee and OJ. Good and fast service too!

Dont bother searching for cheap places , its in the Romes city center after all . Enjoyed a nice cold beer and an american like burger (dont forget to get a coffee). Staff was very kind. Within walking distance you find lots of tourist attractions and if you love nature a google search will bring you close to the Botanical Garden wich is awesome.

Good place for food and drinks in a pleasant outdoor location. To try polpette and pancakes. Friendly service and reasonable prices. If youre in Trastevere definitely worth trying.

Coffee and pastries are great! Very convenient if you are staying in the Trastevere area. Docked 1 start because we went there 4 times and each time you feel that they are laughing at and talking about tourists. To be clear, they arent mean to tourists just dont seem very appreciative for their business.

Nice place, nice atmosphere! The staff might have been too busy, but it took a while for someone to come by to take our orders, so we did not have a great experience with the service. The hamburgers were very good, though! Very juicy and cooked to how you like it.

A great bar-restaraunt to grab a bite to eat with amazing local (Romandishes of the day and then of course a great hamburger with fresh cut crisps. More so the price is for sure one of the best for lunch places in Piazza Trilusa.

We went here a few times since it was just across the Tiber from our hotel. Staff was very friendly and spoke English. Each time we were there for food they helped us with the menu. Food was good and prices were reasonable. We would go back next time we visit Rome.

Nice atmosphere, tasty salads and chicken wings.Main dish from the daily menu wasnt great (pasta with tuna- tuna was dry and the dish was oversalted.Expensive drinks- one glass of wine costs 5 euro if it comes with food (in the bar only 3,5).

My daughter and boyfriend have taken myself and my wife here during are visit to see them during their studies abroad. Food the drinks and staff are very good

Nice place to have a drink and relax. Didnt have any Coke Zero which was a slightly odd item to run out of considering how popular it is. Would still recommend.

Are you looking for a nice place to have drink and eat good food without robbing a bank in a real nice neighborood in Rome?This place is what you are looking for. We had a great time outside even if it rained a little.The waiters are really helpful and they made their best to make our time perfect.Tip: Try their house cocktail, you should not be disapointed !

Between 7ish and 9 in the evening you can go for a real Italian aperitivo : order any drink, and get a nice selection of Italian good accompanied with it, for only 10 euros! It was delicious!

Great coffee with a funky atmosphere. Slightly overpriced compared to others in the area.
