Recommended by the Maestro, Salvatore Calabrese. A wonderful evening with a beautiful vista. Service was excellent, thank you to all of the staff. Front of house were strict about 9pm start time so don’t turn up early.

Everything couldn't have been better!! Cocktails were delicious, snacks were superb but not overwhelming, views incomparable, and the staff was unbelievably welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. 12/10 can't wait to come back to Rome!!

Atmosfera fantastica, personale mai invadente, cocktail ben bilanciati. Forse un po’ troppo caro, ma dato il contesto ci può stare.

Had reservations at 8pm had to wait outside the building in a line with all of the other 8pm reservations. We got seated it took 15 min to get water, took another 15 min for waitress to come take our order took another 15 min to get drinks took 15 more min following drinks to get food. Food was not good drinks were not good. Service was not good. After All of that waiting time the waitress comes back and tells us our reservation is about to be over and if we want another drink that may have taken another 30 min. We decided to pass and pay. Save your money and eat right next to the colosseum for less money and better service and food with the same view. Have to go somewhere else to eat and drink tonight, it’s a pricey tourist trap for sure!

Notwithstanding we made a reservation way in advance and we had to fit a specific slot given by them, we had to wait almost 20minutes standing at the entrance outside on the street.

Reception was not on Michelin star level because they allow locals to go ahead of us ( we had reservation) even though those locals are coming without reservation. Slow service and drinks are overrated to be honest, nothing special there except nice view on Colosseum, but it is cocktail bar not seesighting place so prices and fake "hard to get place/reservation" is absurd. Drinks definitely not on Michelin star level, you can get better cocktails on 10 more places in Rome.

Amazing view , little snacks we got with the drinks we had no idea about was lovely. What stopped it being better is they forgot about our drinks order and forgot to give us water as we was left out in the corner. Recommend tho for a drink!

Despite having read some very negative reviews about this place, I was pleasantly surprised and relieved at how our visit went. Myself and my daughter were very anxious about going as we'd read our snooty they are regarding what you look like, what you dress like etc. etc. I'm a very middle aged, overweight English lady dressed in clothes from Next and I did not feel looked down upon at all. The host was firm, but smily and friendly so long as you towed the line and followed her instructions. The service was faultless and all the staff were very friendly. As for the view...fantastic!! I would have liked more vodka / rum based cocktails, but I managed!! The snacks were very welcomed and of a decent quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Court.

We were so excited to arrive and the atmosphere of the cocktail bar was excellent. We were a little upset that as being the first people on the line for reservations we weren’t able to sit where we wanted. Bring the first ones on it we felt we should have been given the opportunity to pick which view we wanted. The service we had was excellent and when we didn’t receive one of our appetizers they brought it over as soon as we informed them. However there didn’t seem like there was any remorse for forgetting it. Overall I would recommend family and friends traveling to make reservations.

Special experience to end our trip to Italy! Inventive and tasty beverages with excellent service. We enjoyed the tower of mini sandwiches, olives and potato chips as well. The sun was setting behind the Colosseum, making for a very unique setting.

The cocktails were nice and the view was great, we had a bit of trouble getting in. Although we were aware of the dress code, we had trouble getting into the bar. My partner was wearing shorts, a Ralph Lauren quarter zip, and closed toe clogs which adhered to the dress code, and the woman at the front was very rude and not accommodating. The bar manager was lovely and welcoming and helped us access the bar, but overall the lady at the front tainted the experience, as well as being quite rude to other people.

Le bar est joli avec une belle vue. Cependant si vous arrivez en avance vous devez attendre que l’heure pile soit annoncée. Nous avons attendu 15 min dans un hall d’entrée alors que le bar était vide. Un peu étrange

Fantastic view of Colusseum. Good range of cocktails. However. They were overpriced . Staff were eager to move us on when they realised we only wanted one cocktail. Nibbles were provided which was a surprise but only liked the potato crisps. . Remaining items were left. I'd rather have cheaper cocktails and no nibbles

We arrived on time and were asked to stand outside in the cold on the street for 25min for a table. There was seating inside the lobby but it 'was not policy to allow someone to sit inside.' We left and came back 40 minutes later, the host seemed disappointed we were back and somewhat reluctantly showed us to our table. The bar itself was beautiful, lots of empty tables and staff were very friendly. Cocktails were well made but at €27 each we felt the 5 star price did not match our experience.

The directions on reservations were not very clear as we did not see that we were reserving a time slot and not a table. Once we got in we found this is not actually a rooftop bar. The views were still stunning but another piece of information that was lacking. The service was okay and the waitress we had seemed as though she was unhappy to be there. For the price we expected a little more.

It was total disrespect! People just don’t care about people who travel alone. I asked for the proper seat, not on the bar. And got refused. If there are seats on the bar, they should be arranged properly. Like a sitting area. Because people pay same money for these awful places. Come on guys! You are not alone!

This place is so disappointing. If your reservation is 8pm, for example, they make every single person wait in queue. The bar will be dead empty and they will make you wait till 8pm and then escort each person to the bar. If you arrive without a reservation you can easily sit at the bar and possibly closer to the colosseum than those with a reservation. Don’t arrive in shorts or a t shirt or they will shame you. (We were dressed well but felt bad for the rest). Drinks are WEAK. No booze in them at all. For $27 per drink you should at least taste/feel the alcohol. Skip this spot, make a res at palazzo Dama instead.

Disappointed with seating arrangements. I was stuck at the bar between two sections of areas for servers I was constantly bumped and no respect for me sitting there. The drinks were good the food was good It would be nice to have a small area overlooking the coliseum for single people. Also your dress code rules are horrible. I saw a very handsome man dressed well turned away because he had very nice dress opened toed sandals on refused yet women can wear open toed shoes and there were men leaving the place with sloppy T-shirts and shorts on dirty running shoes etc. your dress code doesn’t mention the sandals in it and it says you must dress up but others were let in Unfortunately I won’t recommend this place - nice view but not worth the money or how I was treated and how I saw others treated
