"We left the place. No apologies or any remorsefulness by the owner of Rome Cafe."
"The owner from the start gave an odd vibe, as soon as my table was done with eating.. the empty plates weren’t even collected yet and the owner tells us to leave him a 5 Star Review.. felt pressured into leaving it rather than wanting too at that point."
