Cecilia Metella In Roma

Exquisite food in an ancient setting. Yes, the restaurant is old, but this is not important when there is a friendly atmosphere and so much beauty around

Location is beautiful located on top of a small hill along the Appian Way. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I thought service was great and everything was reasonably priced. I ordered the bruschetta and lamb and found both to be amazing. Wine was very good as well- I highly recommend.

This is a classic old style Italian restaurant - simple, a bit homely but with good food and professional service. Despite being kind of in the middle of nowhere and having essentially a captive clientele of bus groups visiting the nearby catacombs of San Callisto and San Sebastiano, they provide delicious food at reasonable prices with good service. We’d been before in summer and dined under the wisteria pergola overlooking the garden which was lovely on a hot Roman summer’s day. This time (winter) we dined indoors and had a delicious, light risotto with radicchio and walnut, a main of grilled pork and a light Frascati white. Complimentary amaro della casa was a nice surprise at the end of the meal. There’s a decent sized car park but it’s easily accessible by the city bus 118.

Sono tornato dopo diverso tempo. Cucina eccellente e personale cordiale. Posto meraviglioso. Il Signor Elvezio una garanzia di cortesia e professionalità!

We stopped at this restaurant while checking out the Catacombs. As most of the other restaurants were fully occupied on Christmas, we had no choice but to dine here. Service is fast and quick. They only had one selection of red wine or white wine which weren't bad for the price (€18). Service was courteous and fast. I ordered the sea bass egg pasta which was delicious. The grilled sea bass with mashed potatoes was also good! Definitely a visit if you are around in that area. It's a great wedding venue too with great views of the Cecilia Metella ruins and ample parking space.

Great discovery This restaurant facing the catacombs is a very nice surprise. Perfect service and delicious food To do without hesitation We ate in the dining room but on sunny days there must be a magnificent terrace Thank you for your welcome 👍

Beautiful, welcoming, good food. Everything at the TOP. 👍🤩💖

We stumbled upon this restaurant while my husband was visiting the catacombs. This was our last stop before we left for Amalfi. This was the best meal, best experience that we had in Rome. It was such an unforgetable experience for our family. Angelo helped us and was very playful with the kids. Showing them the turtles. We will never forget how Angelo treated us. Grazie mille, Angelo and to the Chef. Ci vediamo di nuovo. Che tu possa avere buona salute.

ristorante con magnifico giardino nel parco dell'appia antica ..location perfetta per tutti gli eventi dalla festa importante alla cena informale sotto il pergolato dei kiwi, tra i profumi delle rose e le luci delle candele. La cornice di verde, la tranquillità, lo sguardo al profilo luminoso del mausoleo di Cecilia Metella e della basica di San Sebastiano rendono elegantissimo e magico questo posto. Il personale è veramente molto carino e professionale ha gestito tutto con gusto, pazienza e gentilezza....a prestissimo

Cena pessima, spaghetti con le vongole Salatissimi , scarola alla napoletana con tre chili di sale, pasta amatriciana e carbonara dei ragazzi veramente non adeguata non so come si faccia a dire che è un buon ristorante, non ci andrei più ma ero sopite e mi dispiace per chi ci ha portato a cena lì sperando di fare bella figura
