AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Smash 601’s churros earn ecstatic praise for their perfect crisp-and-soft texture, while the overall vibe is one of unpretentious, satisfying comfort that keeps reviewers coming back.
“Four elongated rings of fried batter with a dusting of sugar. The frying stayed crispy, but they taste a bit oily and less dry than the other fried items. They're a bit chewy now, since time passed. The filling — I remember it being softer. They're not bad, but they need a dipping sauce. They're a bit dry and chewy. €5 for four small pieces seems expensive.”

Smash 601 is a delivery-only smash burger spot in Rome; the burgers are decent but a bit dry and the meat could be fattier, while the fried sides are good but overpriced.

Big Spaziale
This is their biggest burger — four 100g patties, double cheddar, double bacon, lettuce, crispy onion, barbecue sauce, and mayo. It's huge, as big as my hand. The meat is smashed but it feels almost boiled, maybe because of the delivery. It's a bit dry, honestly. There's a lot of bacon, maybe too much — I'd reduce the bacon and add more of the other ingredients. The meat isn't fatty enough, so it doesn't have that buttery, melt-in-your-mouth smash burger feel. It's more like an Italian-style smash burger. But it's saucy and there's a lot of stuff in it, so it's not bad. For €18, it's okay.
Lumberjack
This one has bacon, boscaiola sauce, grilled zucchini, and two 100g patties — I forgot the smoked provola. The bread is soft, looks good, not like from a lab. But it's a bit dry. The provola is nonexistent, the zucchini are few and you can't taste them much. You mostly taste the bacon. The boscaiola sauce is not noticeable. The meat is smashed in a way I don't like, honestly. I'll finish it, but I wouldn't give it a high score.
Pepite Camembert
These are Camembert cheese bites, breaded in beer batter. They're creamy, very creamy — almost like processed cheese, not really Camembert, I think. The frying is very dry, which is good. They arrived hot and crispy. But they seem like they might be from a lab, I'm not sure.
Patatine Fritte
The fries arrived hot, well-fried, and dry. They're crispy — listen to the crunch. They came in a bag, which is good because steam can ruin delivery fries.
