Da Giovanni In Roma

16/06/2025: We had a wonderful dinner here. I know the reviews have been mixed which was so shocking to us because his food was some of the best I’ve had in Europe and especially the best in Italy! I normally don’t ever leave reviews but his was so good that I felt compelled! We initially stopped in for drinks because of how hot it was (It’s middle of June so it’s 38 Celsius/100 Fahrenheit) and then Francesco, the owner explained the history of his family owned restaurant and brought us his family photos and invited us to come back for dinner after we finished our Crypt tour! We were so impressed with his family’s story and his customer service that we came back after our tour! He reccomend his favorite which was the sea bass and it was delicious and so different— flaky sea bass covered with crunchy potatoes! As well as brought us complimentary Suplis (which was amazing btw) and even better eggplant parmasan, along with great focaccia bread! Authentic classic Roman Italian! He introduced us to a new beer too (not Peroni—although it’s my fan favorite!). However, in my opinion— what was his showstopper aside from his 10/10 customer service, was my mother’s dish. He customized her dish and made her prawns that were the best shrimp I’ve ever had! Tasted like lobster, we will be coming back when we are back in Rome. Thank you Francesco— your restaurant has been the highlight of our trip :)
