  Found it on our way to the next landmark.  
  
  Stopped for a couple beers, and appetizers.  
  Love the outdoor seating, a big fan of it especially when visiting Rome.  
  Service was good, no issues there.  
  
  If you're ordering off the menu,  order an Italian dish, don't order a burger and expect it to be great.  You're in Italy for sakes!!

  Horrible service. The guy who invites people into the restaurant is very nice. But the waiter didn't care at all about us and was very unpleasant. We had just drink and quit. Also adding obligatory price for service. Don't go there!!!

  After travelling from Positano to Rome, stumbled out of the hotel both tired and hungry. After strolling through the streets in search of food at about 5:30pm, found Il Miraggio.
  
  I have had many Amatricianas in my day, however, this place takes the cake.
  
  Also had the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, which was a 3.5/5
  
  Coupled with an Amarone red and I was pleasantly surprised after seeing previous poor reviews.
  
  Would recommend

  My wife and I were heading from the Forum towards the Trevi Fountain on the tourist trail... We wanted a bite and a glass of wine on our way. Detaching ourselves from the masses, we headed down a side street to a quiet little square. Il Miraggio was no mirage!  Outside tables in a shaded, quiet setting. Friendly staff and very attentive. Our waiter, Simion (sp?) was great, brought out our pitcher of the house white wine right away while we looked over the menu.
  
  The menu offers a wide selection from quick snacks to full course meals. Everything we saw on neighboring tables looked great, and we noticed that many of the tables were occupied by locals (or at least Italian speakers).
  
  The restaurant specilizes in Sardinian dishes, so I tried the Gnocchetti Campolenia. It was small "gnocchi" shaped pasta in a pomodoro sauce with spicy sausage. It was delicious. My wife had the Caprese Salad. Thick slices of ripe tomatoes and mozzarela with lots of fresh basil leaves. Also delicious.
  
  The price was reasonable, the atmosphere relaxing and the staff great. What more can you look for?

  Feeling betrayed by my host's recommendation because the food is just average. I ordered the spaghetti all'amatriciana and there was no hint of chilli; the sauce itself is just meh. Not worth the price.
  
  The low rating is more due to the shoddy service. Our waiter nearly forgot to even give us our menu and when it came time to pay our bill, he rudely told us to go get our change at the front desk. This was obviously so they could quickly boot us from the table to accommodate more guests. Didn't really make sense as it wasn't busy and other tables were available.. So why the rush? I lamented with the table next to me about the "service" fee included in the bill.
