Clivo Bistrot In Roma

I’m so happy to find this lovely local place. The atmosphere was great - such a mix of people, a family with toddler, a party, small group of friends, couple - it seems like any occasion. They were very welcoming - they were fully booked but set up a little table in a corner for us, which was perfectly comfortable, and service was fast and smiley, with a good wine recommendation. We shared some crostini that were simple and delicious with different toppings like aubergine or burrata and anchovy. Then we both had a daily special - for me tonnarelli pasta with lemon and salt cod that was totally delicious. I loved that both the fish was meaty and firm to complement the al dente bite of the pasta, and the flavour of the lemon was delicate. My missus (who is from Rome) had the special orecchiette with turnip tops and she liked them too. The wine recommendation was great but I can’t remember the name. €70 for two including the wine. The photography exhibition was also a nice talking point. I’m looking forwards to be back again.

Highly recommended - delicious foods, friendly staff

Delicious bistro in a soft environment with genuine and excellent food with a fusion of flavors of Mediterranean culture. A pleasant discovery!

A very good place to have breakfast. Good service and very pleasant atmosphere. It is beautiful, peaceful and charming

Delicious bistro. I tried both the afternoon tea with cake outside and the evening aperitif with delicious appetizers indoors. Excellent quality. The chat shared with the owner was also pleasant... while I was waiting for my friends! Now I don't have to try dinner.....but I certainly won't be disappointed.

Conosco bene e frequento il Clivo Bistrot da circa tre anni ed ho portato qui tanti amici che hanno apprezzato il posto e il cibo proposto, diventando poi clienti affezionati anche loro. Il luogo è molto gradevole, arredato tutto in legno in modo artigianale, con tanta letteratura per i bambini. Ho letto recentemente una critica feroce e anche poco gentile, mentre qui tutti sono gentili e lo chef Simo, in particolare, è sempre sorridente e accogliente con tutti. Abitualmente la gente parla piano ed è possibile chiacchierare con gli amici piacevolmente, cosa ormai molto difficile in quasi tutti i locali romani. Il cibo è genuino e Simo si vanta del fatto che usa esclusivamente pesce fresco, rifiutando qualsiasi tipo di componente surgelato. Anche la Paella, servita solo su prenotazione, è notevole. Basata su un impasto delizioso di riso sapientemente mischiato con abbondante pesce e cozze, è veramente gradevole . Non è un paella alla spagnola (anche se la Paella di Barcellona, Madrid o Bilbao offre tre versioni ben differenziate) ma viene interpretata con una impostazione nordafricana e la presenza gradevole di un moderato peperoncino rosso. Non parliamo poi degli antipasti: quasi del tutto vegetariani, con la presenza del baccalà: piacciono molto a tutti coloro che li assaggiano in quantità e la sera non hai certo bisogno di bicarbonato. A me e mia moglie non ha mai fatto male nulla!

This place feels like home. We had an amazing experience here. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming plus they had all these beautiful illustrated books to look at and a corner for our toddler to interact with books and toys. In addition to all of these there was even a small toilet for toddlers! we cant wait to go back here <3

One of the best restaurants we tried in Rome. Loved the gnocchi.
