A warmly local, Roma-fan pub pouring good beers with solid Roman pastas and burgers at fair prices; great for games, casual dinners, and friendly vibes.
Mole's Pub earns its grade A- standing through exceptional service warmth and solid food quality that exceeds typical pub standards, particularly in Roman pastas and burgers. Reliable execution and fair pricing reinforce its appeal as a neighborhood destination, though the intimate space and occasional operational concerns—notably a smoke incident—prevent it from reaching grade A territory. Strong local loyalty and match-night energy define its character as a beloved community gathering spot.
The room feels warm and buzzing, draped in Roma pride with screens tuned to the match. Service skews personal—one guest noted, "we felt like old friends within minutes." It is a neighborhood pub where beers flow and camaraderie shows, though the space can feel snug on game nights. In the kitchen, the cooking leans classic and satisfying rather than flashy: Roman pastas done right, burgers with fries, suppli, and a crisp Caesar when you want something lighter. Beers are the backbone, with friendly guidance if you like suggestions. Expect solid quality at fair prices; the pork shank appears on special nights and is a hearty splurge. Families will find it workable thanks to kid-friendly staples like nuggets, fries, burgers, and simple pastas such as cacio e pepe or tomato-based options. It is still a sports pub, so earlier hours on non-match days are best for a calmer visit; big games bring volume and limited space.
Area vibe: Creative, youthful district with neighborhood pubs and street-life; strong AS Roma fan presence on match days.
Safety: Generally safe with steady foot traffic; livelier and rowdier during games and late evenings.
What's nearby: Near Malatesta metro; close to Pigneto bars, cafes, and residential streets; good transit access.
Go for the Roman pastas or a cheeseburger with fries, and save room for suppli or the pork shank special.
It’s a casual, compact pub so come comfortably dressed and arrive early on match days.
Expect a warm, local pub with Roma decor, screens on the walls, and an owner who makes you feel at home.
