The receipt from the Rosati bar in Piazza del Popolo
Il bar Rosati in Rome contacted by Fanpage.it on the “salty” bill reported by a customer, he explained that the prices are justified by the location in which the restaurant is located, in the central Piazza del Popolo, but not only that. “Our bar has 102 years of history and we are right in the heart of the city – explains the director, who has been working in the Rosati bar for thirty-six years – The menu is displayed outside, inside above the cash register and also on each table, customers can consult it before entering and deciding whether to eat or drink with us.
The prices we charge are the same for everyone without distinction, both for Roman and Italian customers and for international tourists”. Prices which, continues the director, are not motivated only by the location of the restaurant: “There is the cost of rent, salary of employees and all other expenses we have to bear to carry on the business. Without considering the fact that we offer the highest quality products to our customers.”

Two sandwiches and two juices for 52 euros: the receipt of discord in a bar in Piazza del Popolo
So we sit in the internal room and order two sandwiches and two juices. Without a placemat or anything else, we were served toast on a single saucer and two paper napkins. For the modest sum of 52.37 euros. If this isn’t theft… With 8 euros just for the service… Which one!?” Fanpage.it, after giving voice to the report, also published the response of the bar manager who, he is keen to underline, that all customers can read the prices before sitting at the table.
