Open Colonna (Rome)




I had heard that Open Colonna is a good place to go for lunch on the weekends. It is supposed to be family friendly (children under 6 eat free)  and  €30 for a very decent selection of food and dessert cannot be beat.
Open Colonna sits atop the Palazzo delle Esposizioni on via Nazionale, and is right under the more famous, and much more expensive Antonello Colonna restaurant.

The buffet has lots of fresh food including lots of vegetable dishes and salads, pasta, risotto, cheese, and lasagna. The second courses included fish, meat, meatballs in tomato sauce, and soup. The dessert table has lots of creamy desserts, cakes, and muffins. I would say that there was something for everyone.

The thing that I liked most, other than the beautiful, light filled space, is that you can go up to the buffet as many times as you want, and it got replenished very often, sometimes with different foods and desserts. It didn't take long to have food replenished, and service is pretty good.

€30 buffet excluding water and drinks. Reservations recommended.
