  I really enjoyed this meal the most of all our restaurant experiences in Rome. They are much more reasonable cost wise than a lot of them: there was no 'bread cover charge' like many eating establishments have here, and a four course meal was a good 5-7€ less than some of the others while the quality was very good.
  The Veggie Soup tasted like my grandmother's, loaded with fresh veggies in a huge bowl. The salads were also quite ample and fresh.
  I had Tortellini in Cream Sauce with Mushrooms, which melted in your mouth. My BF had the traditional Spaghetti Bolognese, which she was very pleased with.
  My husband was not overly impressed with his Pizza, so this may not be the best place for that.
  It was located in the Hotel California (and we didn't want to leave :), conveniently a couple blocks from the Terminal. The service was very good.

  Ugh this is one of the top contenders of the worst meals I had in Rome.
  Many of the restaurants along the strip near Termini are tourist traps, captivating you with pre-fixe menus that are less than 20 euro. DON'T FALL FOR THIS ONE! My chicken was dry, the desserts were confusing. The only thing that was just okay was maybe the salmon risotto. There are many options in Rome (most of them out of the way I admit), but trust Yelp and go to those hidden places. This was a waste of money and calories and not reflective of Italian cuisine at all.

  This was my first dining experience in this area during my stay in Rome.  I wanted to try a few other places in the area before I wrote and honest review about the family owned and operated Il Condor but my initial reaction was, "This is incredible Italian food.  This is the reason you go to Rome good."
  
  After trying other Italian restaurants in the area my initial impression was spot on.  So far this is the best Italian Food I've had during my three week stay here in Rome.
  
  When I try an Italian Restaurant for the first time I always get the Spaghetti Bolognese.  Even though it's a simple dish it's a great indicator on how much attention to detail and quality the restaurant puts into it's food.  
  
  Il Condor had a fantastic Spaghetti Bolognese.  Quite literally outstanding.  
  
  I started my meal with the vegetable soup as an appetizer and it was delicious although I wasn't counting on such a generous portion.  The vegetable soup was quite filling and I though to myself, "There is no way your going to eat the pasta that's on the way!"
  
  When my waiter brought me my pasta I noticed the superb presentation and after my first bite I realized no matter how full I was I was going to eat every last bite of this pasta... And I did.
  
  The pasta was fresh.  The kind of fresh you can only get in Italy.  The tomatoes were picked that morning and the pasta was made that day.  It was an dining experience that everyone owes themselves to try at least once in their lifetimes.  If you don't believe me try it for yourself!

  AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!
  
  My boyfriend and I decided to try this place after getting back to the Termini pretty late and we were looking for a meal to enjoy before bussing back home. We should have known better since most of the restaurants in the area are tourist traps, but we were hungry and the menu seemed decent. The pizza was terrible - it tasted like it was just bread.
  
  If that were all that it was to this place, I would be fine and I wouldn't be leaving such a bad review. However, our waiter was so so SO rude to us. He gave us snarky replies back to us after we told him our order. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt thinking it's the end of the day I'm sure he had a long shift. But no, he didn't make any eye contact or see if our meal was doing okay the whole time and just flat out ignored us until the bill came. This part is the cherry on top to my experience. He handed us the bill and I proceeded to give him my card to pay. Then he flat out just says, NO CARD. Can't you be a little less rude when saying that? It seemed like he gained some satisfaction from telling me that and seeing my face. My boyfriend and I also CLEARLY saw the table that just finished before us pay with card! (I believe there's also a sticker on their window that says they accept Visa). I was so shocked I didn't even know what to say. We didn't have any cash on us after using it at the train station and then the waiter made me WALK TO THE ATM which was two blocks away!!! Why couldn't I use card??? Are you trying to pocket some of that cash??? Was your card machine turned off? Don't you have manners???  
  
  Ugh, I'm never one to have this strong of negative feelings after being served but this one was just too terrible. I know this is just a tourist trap area, so people will go there no matter what, but if you are reading this stay away from there!!

  Great service, great food! This was our first real Italian meal in Rome. This place is located on a nice alley nearby our hotel genova, we stopped by and loved it! Try their marinara pizza and beer while sitting outside and taking in Rome!
