Contorno Self Bistrot In Roma

05/04/2024: I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. We are staying outside of the downtown core and were hoping for some great Italian food and great service. We did have great food and were served by two waiters. One was genuinely nice and the other kept bringing bread baskets to our table. I was quite shocked when at the end he charged us for each bread basket. And there is also the dreaded cover charge. Great food but cannot recommend it. I sincerely dislike establishments who try to take advantage of guests.

02/02/2024: We finally tried Altrogiro: The place is quite elegant and the atmosphere is soft, even romantic. The dishes are well presented and they also add substance to the form, you will not be left with a half-empty stomach. The traditional first courses are accompanied by interesting reinterpretations. The sea bass au gratin was good and plentiful. However, the TOP remains the service: From entering the room to leaving we were accompanied and pampered by an ever-present, competent and very attentive service. Difficult to find better ones. Well done! The only flaw: no paper placemats!
