Alfonso Cous Cous In Roma

26/03/2024: Tried the Aperol Spritz for 5€. This is an Italian wine-based cocktail often served as an apéritif. Saw many F&B patrons drinking it, but it’s too bitter for me to enjoy 😅 It is pretty sweet for the most part but the aftertaste is like medicine…

18/03/2024: Small place in the Ostiense area. We had mixed appetizers and two stews with rice and saffron. The humus and yogurt with spinach particularly impressed us, while the meat and rice meatball was not exceptional. The rice roll in vine leaf and the potato, pea, dill and cucumber cream were average. We had a stew with chicken, walnuts, pomegranate juice and saffron, and another with beef, barberry berries, almonds, dried lemons and tomatoes. I must say that both were tasty and bold, perfect paired with basmati rice. Recommended for those who love out-of-the-ordinary flavours. Friendly and helpful staff, quick service. Possible menu for €25, with starter + typical bread, dish of the day, drink and tea/coffee.
