Chiming in here to confirm (as other reviews which guided us here mention), that this was the best meal of our entire trip — it beat every place in Puglia, Amalfi coast and others in Rome. The staff are lovely, kind and honest and the quality of everything was top notch. The organic extra virgin olive oil they gave us with the bread is the best I’ve ever tasted, and their deconstructed tiramisu was delicious as well as creative. For sure eat here.

Lovely restaurant. Awesome slow roasted pork rib, fantastic Casio e Pepe, terrific staff - fantastic last night dinner before flying out.
Highly recommended if you are visiting Fiumicino or have a few hours layover at FCO and want to experience top level Roman cuisine.

Very nice food and the staff was very keen to take our order near to closing time. We were able to have a nice family dinner despite our flights delays.

Amazing restaurant. If you are a meat lover, the food is top notch. They only do beef medium max and that’s perfect for us. We had the Italian beef, one with blackberry and black truffle, and one w rosemary and caramelised beet. Both were amazing.
We had a simple cheese and pepper pasta and when there is perfection too in the simple dishes too, you know there is an excellent chef in the house. Our appetisers of fried meatball with lemon, and a tomino cheese in a hazelnut crust was simply bliss.
Roberto, who attended to us, recommended a most excellent red to go with the meats and his suggestion of the beet vegetables totally nailed it too. And insisted on us finishing the meal with the v splendid homemade limoncello.
But let me also mention the divine desserts - the assemble-yourself tiramisu was a delight, and the namelaka totally knocked us off our seats with its velvety smoothness.
On the whole, this could be our best meal in our Italian summer vacation. And totally made us sealed our love affair with Italy.
Thank you for a lovely evening, Contro Corrente Fiumicino! ❤️

Sono stato da Contro Corrente per una cena e devo dire che l’esperienza è stata davvero piacevole. Il locale è moderno, curato nei dettagli e con un’atmosfera rilassante.
Ho mangiato piatti della tradizione romana ben cucinati.
Il servizio è stato cordiale e attento.
Prezzi in linea con la qualità offerta.
