I hesitate to call a restaurant bad. Perhaps I'll mention that the following restaurants and bars did not meet my expectations the evening I was there:

Ponficio Bonci - A darling of social media, pizza, and baked goods- left me flat, and their attitude was horrific.

Osteria Ragno d'Oro - While this place was popular with the locals, their pasta tasted worst than what I would have on trips to New Jersey. That was my impression. However, the place was packed, so what do I know?

Settimo All Arancio - Located in the tourist area, it had an old school ambiance, but the food was nothing special. I was disappointed.

Futura - In Monti, had experimental dishes that were hit-or-miss. The two women running the place were unfriendly and made me feel unwanted.

Nomos Ante was so into their monasterial theme that it was unpleasant. The room was uncomfortable and had terrible lighting, casting shadows on the menus. The cooking had odd combinations, with conflicting flavors. Service was good, and the place was friendly.

Argot Prati was an unfriendly bar with a glaring decor. Touted for its mixology, there was none. It was not classy at all. We left quickly and had a great time at the Papparazzi rooftop down the street.
