"A Must-Visit for Sports Fans in Rome"
What a great place for fun, drinks, and an unbeatable atmosphere. I can’t say enough good things about this spot—Game Time on the big screen must be an absolute blast. It was amazing to find fellow Steelers fans right in Rome, which made the experience even more special. If you’re in Piazza Navona, this is a must-visit. Go Steelers, go! Huge thanks to John and his sister for the warm welcome. Sending love from Toronto, Canada—Steelers family for life. 🏈🇮🇹🇨🇦
"Disappointing Experience Despite Hype"
We debated writing this review because this is such a unique spot in Rome, and as Steelers fans, we were really looking forward to visiting. Unfortunately, the owner’s attitude made it difficult to enjoy our time. From the moment we walked in, we were barked at and made to feel like an inconvenience rather than paying customers. It felt as though our presence was doing him a favor, which is not how any guest should feel. As a result, we sat in stunned silence, trying to enjoy our drinks. Basic hospitality and respect were sadly missing.
"An Amazing Sports Bar with a Welcoming Vibe"
Absolutely amazing bar! The owner is a genuinely cool guy, very friendly and authentic, which really sets the tone for the place. Being able to watch American football at a bar in Rome was such a great experience, and the service was excellent throughout. They might just need to sneak in a little Honolulu blue for the Lions fans—go Lions! 🦁🏈 Sports aside, it’s truly a fantastic spot even when there’s no game on. Greetings from Michigan, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
"Charming Bar with Friendly Staff"
We stopped by in the afternoon and were impressed by the extremely friendly staff. The interior is beautifully decorated, giving the bar a cozy and charming atmosphere. The outdoor seating, however, feels a bit cramped. Prices were mixed — the Aperol was enjoyable and reasonably priced at €7, but €5 for a simple can of Coke seemed a bit steep. Overall, a pleasant place to visit with great service.
"A Standout Beer Bar in the Heart of Rome"
Italy excels at so many things, but beer bars aren’t usually one of them—this place is a welcome exception. It has a solid tap list, loads of personality (a Steelers bar in Rome?!), and a great setup where you can order food from across the street and have it delivered right to your table. Just steps from the Pantheon yet refreshingly non-touristy. Absolutely loved it.
"Great Sports Bar for Pittsburgh Fans"
This lively sports bar is a fun spot, especially if you’re a fan of Pittsburgh! The cold beer was perfect, and the endless bowls of peanuts added to the casual, welcoming vibe. The owner was extremely friendly, making the experience even better. Highly recommended for a relaxed, fun outing.
"A Cozy Pub with True American Sports Bar Vibes"
An amazing little pub with authentic American flair. They show NFL and other sports on a massive screen, paired with classic American music that really sets the mood. The owner is incredibly friendly and, when he’s not busy, takes the time to have genuine conversations with guests—something I truly appreciate. There’s also a wide selection of local beers on tap. If you enjoy sports and good beer, don’t skip this place.
"Touristy Spot with Mixed Experience"
The bar has a nice atmosphere but is definitely on the tourist path, reflected in slightly inflated prices. Service was uneven—my beer took a while to arrive, whereas my wife’s cocktail came quickly. The bathroom is small, and the door didn’t lock, which can be inconvenient if you need to change a baby. Overall, a decent spot but with a few minor drawbacks.
"An Unforgettable College Football Experience in Rome"
Wow! A group of six of us were traveling to celebrate my nephew’s and niece’s anniversary, and our first few days in Rome happened to coincide with opening weekend of college football. We were searching for a place to watch the University of Georgia play Marshall and came across this spot, stopping by in the afternoon to check it out. The daytime staff kindly advised us to return after 6 PM when the owner would be there—and we’re so glad we did. Giovanni took incredible care of us, even allowing us to bring in outside food. He was a fantastic host with truly outstanding customer service. This place is an absolute gem. Whether by coincidence or Giovanni’s doing, an ex–University of Georgia football player even stopped by to watch the game with us, which made the experience even more memorable. Thank you, Giovanni! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy American football at its finest while in Rome, Italy.
"very good mood for world cup and they have very cool live music too! but craft beer is expensive and not really special, like jot bad but normal"
The atmosphere here is fantastic, especially during events like the World Cup, and the live music adds a really fun touch. However, the craft beer is on the pricey side and fairly ordinary—enjoyable, but nothing particularly special.
