Bar Celestino In Roma

15/06/2026: The location is perfect to check on the most underrated site in all of Italy, the Sacro Speco monastero at the top of the hill. It was a nice morning walk up. That said the place needs a lot better management. The front desk guy bordered on surly and assigned us a tiny room in a construction zone that smelled terrible, like moldy linen. Once it was changed to a bigger room it was better. We got the breakfast/dinner option, which was very well priced but the dinner was almost inedibly bad. The “carbonara” was a sticky mess with grey lumps of guanciale or pancetta. The secondo was forgettable. The kitchen staff was very good and extremely polished and professional so the place has potential to be really good. Just get a good cook, come up with a sensible easy and repeatable dinner menu and focus on one block of aired out rooms with fresh linens and bright simple colors. The Sacro Speco monastery is one of the greatest sites in all of Italy and it looked like they were in the middle of renovation so the place has potential. It was certainly well priced

15/05/2026: Clean and comfortable rooms, just a little small, large and convenient parking, good service: the lady who takes care of breakfasts and packed lunches is really kind and helpful.
