Essenza Wine Bar In Roma

15/08/2024: The pasta I ordered was delicious! Served appetizers and desserts, delicious! The waiter is handsome but has a stinky face

12/08/2024: It was a happy accident that we walked into this hidden gem because a few other restaurants we wanted to go were closed in the neighbourhood. We are glad that they were closed so it brought us here! The food was top quality in terms of taste and presentation. Although the menu was not very extensive and the dishes options are not the standard ones you get from other restaurants, but all the dishes we ordered were very special that you don’t usually get from elsewhere. My dad ordered a tuna tataki (it was smoked tuna steak) and it was so tasty with refined touch. We also ordered a fish pasta and fried seafood, each were presented beyond our imagination. Almost like a Michelin star standard and you can tell the chef has put heart and soul into each dish. It’s a little more pricey than other standard restaurants out there, but it is very very good value for its quality. It’s a lovely restaurant with cute decor, we would have booked this place for dinner next time and can dress up a little as the place was so nice that we felt slightly under dressed in our casual summer wear. We were also too full for desserts but we were offered 3 little coffee cream sponge cake bites, they were goood! I have 5 stars for everything except 4 for atmosphere because it was a very hot day and the air con was not strong enough for us. But we would definitely recommend this place to friends and family :)
