Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

We had a great waiter, but we're disappointed that we never had full place settings. Took a very long time for a wine to arrive, halfway through our meal. The gluten-free pizza was ice cold and the second salad we ordered never arrived. Our waiter couldn't even have been nicer, but it seemed like he didn't have the team behind him to deliver the food correctly. Some of the pasta seemed very overcooked as well.

I think I hyped this place up too much in my head—I love Coopers and Italian is my fav, but this was just so-so. It was very crowded and loud, and service was a little slow (but still good) because of it. Definitely recommend the pizza, but the pasta was eh.

Tried the pasta fagioli soup, has a little spicy kick due to the sausage, the arugula & Vin Santo Grape salad which has a nice a agrodolce twist with the sweetness of the grapes with the lemon vinaigrette and Gorgonzola. The fungo pizza is delicious. The server was wonderful! Overall, very good experience.
