Reservations · Takeout

A beloved neighborhood pub for Guinness, burgers, and sports with friendly vibes, solid value, and a few service and facility quirks.

Why it gets an A- for overall quality

Excalibur earns its A- grade through solid food quality anchored by well-executed burgers and a properly poured Guinness, paired with friendly, attentive service that keeps regulars returning. Reasonable pricing and strong local loyalty reinforce its standing as a dependable neighborhood institution, though the dated interior and modest ambiance prevent it from reaching grade A territory. This is honest pub dining executed with care—exactly what the area's better neighborhood restaurants deliver.

Restaurant Summary

Inside this neighborhood stalwart, the room feels warm and bustling, decked with Lazio and rugby memorabilia, and anchored by a well-poured Guinness. Service is often friendly and quick, and regulars describe it as an area institution where "the pint and burger just hit the spot." The cooking leans classic pub—burgers, sausages, fries—done with care rather than flash. Expect a comfort-first menu with standouts like the Baraldi burger and steady draughts; reviews praise the pour and call pricing reasonable. Occasional quibbles show up (under-salted fries, a dated interior), but most visits read easygoing and satisfying. Families fare well here: the menu is full of kid-amenable choices like fries (€4), simple burgers (€7-12), and salads (€8). No formal kids menu is noted, but the straightforward options and relaxed vibe make it workable for early dinners, especially away from peak match times.
