Garden Risto In Roma

11/05/2026: A wonderful discovery in Rome. We've been there three times already. Flávio is fantastic at explaining the special dishes and wines to us in English. His personal style and exceptional service are truly unique. A huge compliment to the kitchen! The dishes are superb. We simply can't help ourselves—we'll be back!

09/05/2026: We've been to this place before without reviewing it, so we could let the experience sink in. Now we're back, and the time has come. The place is spacious and welcoming (with outdoor tables, too), in a semi-industrial style, with the usual modular iron-wood tables and comfortable 1950s-style chairs. The friendly welcome, officiated by the co-owner and head waiter (the other one helms the kitchen), is enhanced by the complimentary table service of excellent unsalted chips and a couple of fingers of prosecco. The service is simple, yet friendly, courteous, and extremely precise, with short wait times and a perfect flow of dishes. The cuisine is high-quality, in terms of invention, cooking, and quality of ingredients: standouts include the tasty and light fried anchovies, the regal sea bass tartare with mint and mango, where the aromas remain vivid without overpowering the raw flavor, the baby octopus with purple potatoes, bathed in a rarely balanced Luciana sauce, and the homemade fettuccine with shrimp and asparagus, with a well-crafted sauce without indulging in the usual creamy sauces. The portions are always generous, but not cloying. The desserts also deserve a mention: try a magnificent zuppa inglese (real) with zabaglione instead of cream, and a delicate lemon parfait with an elegant garnish of raspberry sauce. It's worth noting that, in addition to the pasta, the bread is also excellent and homemade. The wine list is very high-quality, but the restaurant also serves as a wine bar. The price is very fair, especially considering the excellent quality-to-quantity ratio. Try it again and again to discover the full range of options.
