The story
Burgez on Via Vittoria Colonna has built a reputation as a media phenomenon, but as creator Romaffamata puts it, the offerings are “mediocre and overpriced.” In their review, they found the simple Hamburger Non Devi Controllare okay, the Double burnt, and the wild boar Cinghiale good yet “uncomfortable.” The fries with sauces are decent, but overall this trendy, no-frills spot struggles to deliver on its aggressive marketing.
Still, curiosity seekers may find the visit worthwhile. The Cinghiale offers a genuinely interesting twist, and the fries are passable. The simple burger is the safest bet—just steer clear of the Double. Burgez remains a buzzworthy name, but as Romaffamata suggests, the food doesn’t quite match the noise.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
The Double burger earns raves for its juicy, messy perfection, while the overall vibe is one of unpretentious, satisfying indulgence.
“Inside we have the usual Burgez sauce with gherkins, sweet and sour, the famous pickles, a bacon crumble that's quite crunchy, a cheese that looks whiter than cheddar, caramelized onions, and two patties that are well cooked. I don't dislike them. But there's a big problem: I can really taste the burnt caramelized onion — there are many burnt pieces. Unfortunately you can taste it, though there aren't enough burnt bits to be in every bite. The pickles are interesting because they give an acidic kick that cuts through the sweetness of the onion and the bitterness of the burnt. Honestly, this burger costs 10 euros and I think it's messed up — they made a mistake in production and assembly.”

Burgez is a media phenomenon with aggressive marketing, but the products are mediocre and overpriced — the simple burger is okay, the Double is burnt, the Cinghiale is good but uncomfortable, and the fries are decent.
Dishes mentioned
Hamburger Non Devi Controllare
This is a simple burger. I expected it to be much more savory, much more salty, but it's actually quite balanced. The sauce is very similar to the Crispy McBacon sauce, a sweetish sauce. Inside there's not much. The bacon is balanced. The price is 7 euros, which is not super low considering it's a very simple burger, really light in terms of toppings. Honestly, it's not among the worst I've ever tasted — it's medium level.

Cinghiale
This one has green pepper inside that should be spicy, but it's not spicy — at least I can't feel the kick. The flavour inside is pleasant. But the structure is devastatingly uncomfortable to eat. However, it's the one that goes down best. I think in the end it wins — it's really good. I showed it, it looks nice and fresh. Price without menu: €8.90. Very expensive.
Patatine Fritte con Salse
The fries are still crunchy even after a couple of minutes, and they're salted — finally something good. We tried three sauces, each 80 cents. The first is a base mayonnaise with gherkins and a smoky note — interesting, finally something that gives me something in terms of flavour. The second is base mayonnaise with aromatic herbs — they always use mayonnaise as a base because mayonnaise is the queen of sauces. The third is base mayonnaise with onions and gherkins, the super famous one that echoes the Crispy McBacon sauce — it's too similar, objectively too similar.
