Dematteo's - Rome

Mostly a bar but they also serve burgers and chicken sandwiches with rotating specials as well. The food is good. They don't serve fries, only potato chips, which is a miss as far as I'm concerned. If you want a good beer selection, then it's a great place. They have a solid selection of craft beers on tap and full bar service, too. Generally the service is good, but when they're busy it can sometimes be hard for them to keep up. They have an appetizer plate with local Italian bread, hot peppers and sliced provolone that's outstanding. The main part of the bar is old and hasn't been updated in a long time, but the addition is newer with a really nice outdoor patio that is the most recent update to the place.

We were hungry after visiting the Fort Stanwix so we decided to stop by here for lunch. This place is definitely full of mostly locals having drinks. We ordered their cheeseburger and grilled ham cheese sandwich. They do not serve any fries here so our meals came with chips. The food were just decent. The buns on the burger were a bit hard. There was only one bartender who were taking all orders for both food and drinks. She was friendly and polite.

Great place to grab a beer for happy hour. I am also a huge fan of their burgers; definitely grab some mac salad on the side and you will not be disappointed. The bar are can get crowded, especially during nights with live music but there's a great patio area with a ton of space (and an extra bar). Be prepared to wait a little bit on live music nights, but I find it's worth the wait!

My husband and I were driving through Rome and decided to stop for lunch. We have been to this restaurant in the past. We always thought they had a great burger. And they still do. In addition they have a great selection of beers on tap. But they have remodeled inside and added a beautiful patio. The ambiance is greatly improved. Just another reason to stop in the next time we are in Rome.

Excellent place for food, beer and a great time. Bartenders, servers, cookers and owners are all friendly people.
