Awesome food and service. I was there for a business lunch and due to the close proximity of the tables, it was a challenge to have certain sensitive conversations

After seeing a documentary on Rioja, arriving at Pax Romana was perfect. We especially liked the croquetas. Wine was good - I am very fond of Lambrusco.
