Il Mare in Bocca In Roma

Good evening. I only gave it three stars because overall I wouldn't return, but it's not bad at all when you consider everything... But let me explain: the food was good, not exceptional but not bad, the service was almost excellent, the atmosphere was nice and quiet, but... The price paid for the food was absolutely not enough, unfortunately. There were seven of us, with three children, and no big spenders, so the table could easily be mistreated for that reason, and we weren't, so that's a plus, but paying €13 to €18 for a first course (with or without gluten) in such small quantities is truly a shame... When I asked for clarification, they said that since it's egg pasta, it weighs more, and that's fair enough, but in my opinion, the amount of food in each dish (for children and not without reason), from the pasta to the sauce, was truly too little for the price. I also tried both the carbonara and the cacio e pepe, much preferring the latter. Again, this is just my opinion, strictly personal. I'll leave the photos so you can get an idea; I could be wrong, I repeat. Another thing to consider is that it's a very quiet and charming place. The "noise" isn't a lot, but it was more than one adult inside—my child made it—but everyone was very friendly and kind. Another much-appreciated detail was the little flag indicating gluten-free. I was sure I'd taken pictures of our dishes, too, but I'm sorry.

I returned to this restaurant after five years, and unfortunately I have to reconsider my assessment back then: I ordered a gluten-free pizza for 8:45 PM, and at 9:27 PM, it wasn't even in the oven! I've even had people give up after an hour of waiting and get their money back! 😡

I'm celiac and I found this place online... very kind staff, and the GLUTEN-FREE dishes are spectacular... from appetizer to dessert, everything is excellent!

Very accurate and pleasant food for all palates, excellent desserts

The starters and desserts are delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful.

What can I say, a truly top-notch place, professional and extremely kind staff and then there's her, the tagliatella alla genovese, to be applauded with and without gluten, to be thrilled by the goodness, we will definitely be back

Beautiful place and very welcoming I recommend it

A restaurant for everyone, with food for everyone, lactose-free, gluten-free—in short, there's room for all intolerances and more... The food is excellent, Roman cuisine, but you can also choose pizza, which I haven't tried yet! You can also find excellent off-menu items, and the service is attentive and courteous!

Thanks to my wife and daughter's celiac disease and the restaurant's relative proximity to my home, I come here quite frequently. However, every time, I have the same problem with this restaurant: I order a delicious dish, but then other dishes arrive at the tables next to mine that smell and look just as inviting! Last Friday, among other things, I ordered a beetroot and cheese risotto (I think it was robiola), which was simply FABULOUS, but then I saw "carbonara" and "cacio e pepe" arriving nearby, making me jealous of the other customers' choices... It means I need to come here more often, and while I'm here, I suggest giving the same to other members of the community.

Quality food, but if you're looking for a typical Roman osteria, you're not in the right place.
