19 May Pizzeria
I have ate at two separate pizza places in Rome so far, one, Meid in Nepols, is close to Hotel Madison and one, Chiosco Bar L’Ottagono, which translates to the Octogon Kiosk Bar, is by the Vatican. Out of the two, Meid in Nepols had cheaper pizza while Chiosco Bar L’Ottagono had better tasting pizza.
The cashier at Meid in Nepols came up to the table and said our check was ready. We went to pay for the check, and because we did not ask the waiter to split the bill before they printed it, we each had to pay twelve euros, which was double the cost of my pizza, so they did not have to ask everyone what they ate and charge everyone different prices. The waiter was nice, but the cashier was rude, at one point he said to us, “I don’t want to make change for everyone.”
After leaving the Vatican, we stumbled across a place that had a sign above it that read Pizzeria. We went over and sat down. The menu said Chiosco Bar L:’Ottagono. The pizza I ordered was seven euros, a euro more than the pizza I had ordered at Meid in Nepols, and when it arrived, I realized it was also smaller. However, the taste of the pizza was far better. The drinks at this place were expensive, but the tables are outside, so a drink not bought from the kiosk should not be a problem as long as something is ordered from the kiosk. The pizza is somewhat expensive for the size, but it is worth it.
