The Perfect Bun

Largo del Teatro Valle, 4, 00186 Roma

I'm going to be honest with you guys. As much as I love Italy, and just Europe in general, there comes a time when you start to crave things from the good ole' US of A. Things like ranch dressing, Noodles and Company mac and cheese, cookie dough ice cream, and peanut butter. Well, for all of you with a little abroad-hankering in Rome, I have your answer.

It's called the Perfect Bun. (I really hope their riding the wave of the Man Bun trend with that name.) It's between Piazza de Fiori and Piazza Navona. It has a mix between a classy sports bar and home-y diner feel. There's a big flight panel on the side wall that makes it kind of hipster-y, but in the best possible way. Trust me.  Plus, if you're a student in Rome, there's a special menu/ 10% discount for you, which is always an added bonus.

So what's on the menu? Basically all of that stuff you haven't been able to get a hold of in months. Chicken tenders, burgers, fries, caesar salad, you name it. Here's a few of our plates:

Chicken sandwich with fries.

Bacon burger with fries.

Caesar salad with chicken.

We knew we should have been at some artsy corner cafe with a panino and cafe latte, but it just felt so right. Also, interesting question: is this stuff considered ethnic food? Either way, try it.
