Restaurant in Rome: The Perfect Bun

If you are wondering if The Perfect Bun is a restaurant in Rome or a bakery, I can’t blame you.  There is the Perfect Bun Bakery and then there is the Perfect Bun restaurant.

They are under the same ownership and are just a few minutes walk from one another. While I have had tasted their baked goods, I finally got the chance to eat at the restaurant.

A couple of weeks ago, after a morning of Christmas shopping, I actually wanted to have savoury crepes at Chocolat as a Italian friend gave good feedback after holding a brunch party there early last month.  When I got there, there was still a line and as it was past 2pm, my stomach was already complaining.

I thought this was a good time to try the Perfect Bun.  I have heard that the food here is decent but their service is slow.  Considering that it’s was way past lunch, the crowds must have died down. I was right.  When I stepped in, there was only one other table occupied.  I am not sure if this is a good sign or not but I was happy with the thought that my food will be served quickly.

I knew I wanted a burger and was happy that it didn’t take them long to prepare it.  Burgers are served with fries and they were generous with the portions.  Taste-wise, it was decent but the only disappointment is that the bun was a bit dry.  I requested for some mayo to spread it on the bun as they didn’t have mayo on the table.  They readily brought me a large portion at no extra cost.

I have never peeked in during lunch time and don’t know how crowded it gets.  Overall their service was acceptable in the sense that service was efficient – just don’t expect a waiter with a smile. On a positive note, they do speak English.

I would be back and when I first glanced at the menu, what caught my eye was they had ribs.  I would come back just to try how their ribs as I occasionally crave for ribs, onion rings, wings and nachos!

What I also discovered is that The Perfect Bun also delivers depending on the area.  This is a huge plus because delivery options here in Rome are often limited to pizza.

The Perfect Bun is a good option when you crave for something other than Italian food. It’s not often when that happens but when it does, it’s nice to know you have a restaurant in Rome that caters to this.
