ControCorrente In Fiumicino

If you ever find yourself in Fiumicino, just minutes from Rome’s airport, do yourself a favor and stop by this incredible Italian gem. From the very first bite, you can taste the freshness and love poured into every dish. We ordered the fettuccine and carbonara, both perfectly balanced and cooked to that ideal “al dente” texture Italians are famous for. The carbonara was rich yet light, creamy without being heavy, and the fettuccine melted in our mouths with every bite. Our server recommended a local Lazio wine, and it turned out to be the perfect pairing—smooth, aromatic, and the kind of bottle you remember long after you leave. Everything—from the warmth of the staff to the simple elegance of the setting—made it feel like a true Italian experience. You can tell every ingredient is fresh and locally sourced, and every dish made with heart. We loved every little piece of it. A must-visit if you’re near Fiumicino or heading to the airport—this place alone is worth the trip!

Close to FCO Airport, wonderful flavors and creative dishes

Excellent restaurant! Very good service and a varied and delicious menu.

Delicious last meal in Italy! Everything we could have hoped for. Home made pasta and pumpkin gnocchi were amazing! Their play on tiramisu was fun as well and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend if near FCO!

Courteous and professional staff, nice location, excellent and unique cuisine...

Contro Corrente was our stop after our trip to Africa! The atmosphere was beautiful, with a simple, elegant, and clean style. The welcome was professional. We had exquisite appetizers with refined flavors. Two first courses, the delicate cacio e pepe. The wine was excellent! And to finish, the desserts were inviting and delicious. It will definitely be a stop on our return journey after all our travels here in Fiumicino.

Everything was perfect , the food,drinks, service and the restaurant is beautiful.

Just wow! This place is incredible! We had our last family dinner here before heading out home and it was our most favorite meal of the trip! We had the fillet with black truffle and blackberries and 3 pastas - carbonara, amatriciana, and fettuccine with duck ragu. Everything was so delicious! The 2 dishes I want to call out are the fillet and carbonara - they were amazing! The meat just melts in your mouth - it’s perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor! The carbonara is the best we’ve had - smooth, creamy with perfectly crunchy pieces of guanciale. The service was great - our waiter was very friendly and attentive! Do yourselves a favor and get a meal here - you won’t regret it!

We tried the Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Ribeye, and every dish was outstanding — full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was just as impressive: fast, attentive, and very warm, which made us feel truly welcome. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Steaks were very good. Very nice atmosphere and staff.
