Fish Away In Roma

Thanks to IODIO, I enjoyed a simply perfect birthday lunch, including treats like the seafood tiramisu that made me dream. Stefania guided us through our dish selections with charm and elegance. If I could add more stars, I definitely would! A new go-to restaurant, without a doubt.

Quality lunch at a great price. Fast and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

My wife's birthday, we made a reservation and enthusiastically headed to this location in Centocelle, a well-reviewed seafood restaurant. We were the first to arrive and sat in this large room, somewhere between a minimalist and a nautical theme, with dim lighting, perhaps too much so, and the heat turned up high. Some customers were constantly moving around. The service immediately left something to be desired. We asked for the wine list for a welcome toast, and even though he took the wine list from the next table, he first took it to the cashier and then, calmly, sent it to us upon our subsequent request. Hmm, we weren't off to a great start, but the girl was alone, yes, but there was no one else there. Anyway, we waited for the boys to order. Time passed without wine and without a menu. Okay, we're celebrating, why get upset? Finally, our rosé arrived, Aurora Primitivo from Masseria Torricella. We uncorked it and toasted, perusing the menu. We were intrigued by the appetizers, so I ordered a gurnard cannoli. Colonnata lard and cream of peas. My son chose a seafood tiramisu, with seafood bread, shellfish with saffron potato foam, and his girlfriend a mussel sauté. The dishes arrived beautifully presented, and we made up for a bit of an initial delay. My cannolo was very good, the gurnard was evident, and the toasted bread it's made from gives the dish just the right amount of crunch. The mussels were good, and the tiramisu was fantastic, congratulations. Next, we ordered spaghetti with sea urchins, fragrant and flavorful just right, well-seasoned, and the urchins were very fresh and perfectly cooked. I ordered Gragnano spaghetti with sea urchins and bottarga, a successful dish. The tuna ravioli with broccoli rabe, creamed pecorino cheese, and 'nduja were also good, and the gnocchi with scampi cream were beautiful and delicious. Next, a lovely fried calamari dish, very fresh and golden brown. It's a shame the flour makes everything look so brown. Sweet and unappetizing, what a shame! I have no doubts about durum wheat semolina, try it and believe it. Dessert: Why not? Baba, lemon delight, and lemon sorbet, well done, well done! The bitters and coffee are also great. All in all, we had a great time!

Good choice and 5-star quality service

I've eaten at this restaurant several times and have always been pleasantly satisfied. The fish is always fresh and excellent, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and all in a well-kept, intimate setting away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended.

We found the restaurant on Google, and since we don't live in the neighborhood, we wanted to try it. The guys are really good, and the quality of the food is, I think, the best in the Centocelle neighborhood and beyond. We'll definitely be returning; this restaurant is a sure thing.

An experience to repeat, repeat, repeat. Very friendly staff, delicious food

We were passing by and noticed it, so we stopped for lunch. It was a great idea. We ordered appetizers and a first course, a set-price lunch menu, and a glass of wine. The ingredients were excellent and well-cooked. The service was very courteous and friendly. It was Saturday lunchtime, and the place was packed, so there was a slight wait. But good food takes time, and when you're eating out, you shouldn't be in too much of a rush. Even though it was busy, we were able to chat freely. Recommended.

The fish was very good and well-cooked. The lunch menu was very interesting, even though it's tied to their tasty, high-quality offerings. It was a pleasant discovery, and I'll be back.

Nicely decorated restaurant, very friendly staff, and excellent service. Delicious fish, well-made fried calamari (crispy and not greasy), excellent cod. Very carefully prepared dishes and fair prices for the quality.
