I Conti In Fiumicino

By chance we found ourselves in this restaurant one evening, a welcoming family atmosphere, quality food, I recommend it

I was torn between reviewing this "gem" of a restaurant or, as in all special situations, being selfish and keeping this restaurant's knowledge to myself and my friends. Then a birthday came up, and we decided to go to I Conti because, given the affection I have for the birthday boy, I wanted everything to be memorable. The first thing to say is that the owners, Mrs. Rosanna and her husband Fabrizio, are capable, while always maintaining a professional approach, of making you feel like a welcome guest, the kind of person who, when he comes to our home, we would do anything to make him happy...that's how they are...and we know that "pampering" and fantastic food are always a highly appreciated and sought-after combination. Since this review comes after many lunches and dinners spent there, I want to make it good, honest, and structured. Let's start with the menu: always the freshest, seasonal, and top-quality dishes, and consequently (and rightly so) the dishes, refined in their apparent simplicity, follow the changing seasons... and our artists, Rosanna and Fabrizio, present us with this rich menu. Among the appetizers, seafood, raw fish (prime oysters), all lightly seasoned with extra virgin olive oil to allow the palate to distinctly experience every aroma the sea offers, tender cod masterfully fried and topped with slices of fresh truffle (and much more). The first courses are truly mind-blowing (strictly homemade pasta) and prepared with the flair of culinary genius... and this leaves you struggling to choose the dish you want to reward yourself with, perhaps after a day's work!... Then, with Rosanna's advice, everything becomes clear, and the choice you make will be the perfect one for that dinner. Among the main courses, I'd like to mention two must-haves: the Catalan-style lobster (a dream!) or, for those who prefer meat, the fantastic pork shank. Now I'll move on to two aspects that make the difference in a restaurant: desserts and the wine cellar. Rosanna, the queen of desserts, all conceived, crafted, and decorated by her, to which she dedicates entire afternoons to ensuring her customers always find the freshest and most innovative treats. Now I turn to Fabrizio and thank him for the care, knowledge (he's a sommelier), and professionalism with which he recommends a wine... in so many lunches and dinners, he has always interpreted exactly what I wanted at that moment. He takes great care to keep his wine cellar always capable of satisfying even the most refined palates, and each time he tries new wineries (always top-notch) to reward even the young winemakers... not to mention the spirits, bitters... and if by chance you ask for a grappa or cognac, which he doesn't have, if he can, the next time he'll have it for you. I'll close by apologizing for being long-winded, but I want to say one last thing: perhaps the best feeling when you leave I Conti is the serenity you feel in this place! And last but not least: the honest quality-price ratio. Thanks to Rosanna and Fabrizio. See you soon. Giancarlo

excellent food and very kind owners, a great experience

We weren't familiar with the place; a friend recommended it to us, and we were very pleased. The owners were friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. We'll be back with the rest of the family.

Fantastic gnocchi with clams and truffle super

Very good flavors, very nice environment with some off-menu treats. Education and professionalism. I took the fettuccine with mushrooms, a stuffed artichoke, the desserts. All promoted for an experience with many well-balanced flavors.

Pleasant surprise at the end of an exciting morning, during the ceremony of delivery of the furnishings to the Passoscuro palliative care center. We continued the day in this welcoming restaurant, savoring the joy of what we had managed to achieve. Lunch was high quality, tasty and well cooked, with very fresh fish. We were pampered by the owner and his family, who made us feel at home. Congratulations!

Coming back from a visit to the hospital we tried, I must say that the tortelli with carbonara filling and spaghetti (they were not spaghetti but I don't remember the type of pasta) alla gricia were phenomenal. To finish we tried the stuffed artichoke, very good and a mega mixed salad. For wine I let Mr. Fabrizio choose, and he hit the mark. Fabrizio is a friendly owner and very competent in his work. The bread made by them is very good.

Very nice restaurant! The food was really excellent! The artichokes made in all the sauces were delicious and the tonnarelli were delicious... The staff was very kind and helpful!!

Piatti super buoni, proprietari super gentili, qualità prezzo molto buono e piatti super curati, gran bel ristorante, da provare
