I waiver between two stars and four stars. The service was terrible, some of my food was great, some not - so I'll just call it average. My wife liked it, my son didn't. It was clean and convenient. The prices were OK considering the...location. I wouldn't return.More

Lovely food a little pricey but nice. Service slow and inattentive. Nice seafood risotto, wild boar fettuccini , bottle of water and half bottle of wine €77 . Left without being offered a sweet or coffee as we had been sitting for half an hour...so left.More

In a glass enclosed street-side pop up on the Via Veneto, steps from the Majestic Roma hotel, Alex was a pleasant surprise. Coming from Vegas, we were shocked to find really good wines for under $50 and excellent dishes at $15-$25. We had a seafood...salad, wild boar pasta and osso bucco. All were delicious, well prepared and presented. Service was appropriately attentive. With Trip Advisor’s new Fork app, we saved 20% for an 8pm reservation. It’s really hard to find a good dinner for 2 with wine in a major tourist city for under $80.More

Very much enjoyed the pasta dishes here and the vitello al limone (veal with lemon sauce) was excellent. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is really good.

We chose Alex for dinner on our first night in Rome after quickly checking the reviews. By booking online we received a 20% discount on the entire cost of our dinner, which was nice. Service was great and the "glass house" dining room by the...Via Veneto was great. The food was good, but with some reservations. I perhaps made a mistake by ordering a bit exotic fish for main (monkfish), and it was not so exiting. My wife's main course was a simple tuna stake, and it was great.More

The food was absolutely amazing. Every single dish was very good. I was expecting mediocre food but it was above and beyond. The service was very good, better than what you usually get in Italy & the food was perfect. Definitely recommend.

We stopped several times just for a glass of wine. We had dinner there twice and wish we had eaten there every night as two others we tried were not very good. Good value here with nice open.atmosphere

“Luigi” our waiter tried very hard to make things right. However, “manager” was too busy watching television to realize kitchen was 45 minutes behind schedule! Premature greying waiter was as ineffective as he was insulting! Appetizer was bad, left and settled our bar tab before...dinner could be served an hour plus late! Avoid this place. Go next door, up the stairs to La Scala! Better food!!More

We came here after seeing the nearby crypts and were very hungry. We saw their nice outdoor seating area and while it was a little like sitting in a greenhouse, it was still very lovely. The food was good, though nothing exciting. Service was a...little spotty but still good. We never went inside so I have no idea how the inside looks but just know the seating area outside was spacious for about 8 groups.More

We sat here for a Saturday evening meal. Compared to other restaurants over the weekend we found the food prices to be in line but the drinks heavily overpriced. I think due to it being on a main tourist street is a prestige neighborhood, customers...will look at the menu for food and judge the prices but not check out the drinks menu. I had to send my fillet steak back once as it was undercooked (I like my steak med-rare but it came out blue and not even warm inside) but when they returned it was tender, tasty and perfectly cooked. My partner had lasagne which was absolutely delicious so maybe we just made a mistake by not ordering the local food. The service was friendly and generally enjoyed our time here.More

We visit Rome often and generally stay in the Via Veneto. In the past we have often avoided the touristy restaurants lining the pavements. In this occasion we were with friends desperate for some late lunch just having flown in. So we chose Alex and...had four plates of deliciously prepared pasta and a very reasonably priced bottle of Frascati. Charming staff as well. We won’t be avoiding it in the future!More
