Good morning Kel, thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are truly happy to know that you both loved our pizzas and found them so good that they are hard to beat anywhere else. It is a pleasure to read that you especially appreciated the puffy and chewy crusts. We hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, Brucio - La Contemporanea.

Just had some simple pizzas, which were very flavoursome. The service was terrible and they were more interested in the football.

I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. As soon as we were seated, one of the male staff members was rude and disrespectful for no reason. His attitude made us feel unwelcome from the start. We were then told that we had only 9 minutes to finish our meal, which is impossible. The whole time we felt rushed instead of being able to enjoy our food. They made us go outside to pay the bill even though it was pouring rain. As we were outside paying, several staff members were standing together, pointing at us and speaking in Italian while laughing, which made us feel mocked and uncomfortable. The way we were treated was unprofessional and embarrassing. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Good afternoon, it is always disappointing for us to read such a negative review and to know that your experience was not satisfactory.
We are sorry that you felt rushed and unwelcome during your visit. However, we would like to clarify that it is never our intention to make guests feel uncomfortable or to pressure them while they are dining.
We are also sorry that the behaviour of our staff was perceived as mocking or disrespectful. This does not reflect the standards of hospitality we aim to maintain, and without further details it is difficult for us to understand exactly what happened.
We nevertheless hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide an experience more in line with your expectations.
Kind regards, Brucio - La Contemporanea.

This was, without a doubt, one of the worst experiences we had during our trip. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. My friends and I were visiting from the United States, and this was our first day in Rome. We were excited to explore the city and enjoy our first evening. We chose this restaurant because it was close to where we were staying and had good reviews. We each had a bottle of water with us, which had never been an issue at any other restaurant we visited. When we first walked in, the staff member who greeted us didn’t say anything about it. However, after we had been seated for a few minutes and were looking over the menu, another man who I believe worked there came over and began shouting at us. He aggressively told us to “leave my restaurant if you’re not drinking my water.” We were completely shocked. We politely offered to put our water bottles under the table or away so they wouldn’t be an issue, but he refused and continued insisting that we leave. His tone, body language, and aggressive behavior made us feel intimidated, uncomfortable, and genuinely unsafe. Even the people around us appeared surprised by how he was treating us.
We left immediately without ordering anything. It was an upsetting and disappointing experience, especially on our first night in Rome. Based on how we were treated, I would not recommend this restaurant
Good afternoon, it is always disappointing for us to read such a negative review and to know that your experience was not satisfactory.
We are sorry that the situation made you feel uncomfortable. However, we would like to clarify that bringing and consuming outside drinks inside the restaurant is not permitted, as is standard practice in many venues.
That said, this rule should always be communicated clearly and respectfully. We are therefore sorry that the interaction was perceived as aggressive or intimidating, as this is certainly not the way we want our guests to feel.
We nevertheless hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and offer you a more positive experience.
Kind regards, Brucio - La Contemporanea.

Terrible experience. I have polydipsia and need to carry water with me at all times. The owner rudely told me I had to buy water from the restaurant or leave because I had my own bottle. When I left, several employees came outside, stared at me, waved goodbye in a mocking way, and laughed while speaking in Italian. As a Black tourist, I left feeling completely unwelcome and disrespected. I would not recommend this restaurant.
