La Ciambella In Roma

A simple and elegant place without being pretentious, with knowledgeable and very friendly staff and delicious food: an excellent choice for experiencing Roman cuisine with some truly interesting twists. I definitely recommend it to Romans and non-Romans alike.

Great food, not so for the service. Greeting was terrible — we were asked four times if we did look at the menu, before we could take our seats in a 3/4 empty restaurant. Some inflexible protocol which shows a total lack of attention to clientele. Priority towards a stereotype of fine dining standards or heavy biais towards a certain type of tourists. The interaction with the staff reminded me of the movie The Menu. What a pity because the wine and food are excellent.

The tasting menu is definitely worth, well, tasting

This is not a typical red sauce Roma tourist restaurant.... instead, innovative approaches to classic roman dishes in a casual upscale atmosphere. Extensive wine list. A bit pricy but, worth it.

The combination of food, presentation, ambiance, and the human touch is superb. A way to experience a passion, presented to diners with heartfelt emotion.

Wonderful meal. Lovely friendly and attentive service, great menu of interesting Roman dishes, large wine list (with which we were well assisted by both Mirka and her colleague with a couple of great recommendations) in a simple but elegant setting. After a couple of very poor meals in Sorrento (never going back there...) we were delighted to be firmly back on track with La Ciambella. The five of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Really good place: each dish was well done (some very good original roman dishes interpreted in a modern way); the service was impeccable and very friendly (they made you feel as if you were visiting friends giving a personal touch to the dishes without being too close); the wine recommendations fitted well the dishes and they even made it possible to share dishes on two plates when eating à la carte. Completely recommendable! Thank you for a nice evening!

Amazing food and a great time. Staff treated us like family.

Nous avons réservé une table dans ce restaurant référencé par le Michelin. Il a fallu indiquer le numéro de carte Visa pour garantir la réservation. Nous avons été installés dans une cour intérieure couverte parée de marbre de Carrare. Je me suis retrouvé face à une paroi semblable à une pierre tombale. L'établissement manque de personnel ou est mal organisé : nous avons dû attendre 40 minutes avant que la patronne vienne prendre notre commande. Le serveur avait une attitude hautaine et presque condescendante. J'ai dégusté des spaghetti cacio & pepe (peccorino et poivre), une spécialité romaine. Ils étaient bons. Bon vin rouge au verre. L'ambiance mortifère du restaurant et le service plus sue problématique m'ont fait regretter mon choix.

Non ci sono, davvero, più parole per descrivere il lavoro di Francesca, chef, e Mirka, maitre e sommelier, e di tutta la squadra. Si conferma "l'unico" ristorante di Roma - ma, forse, italico - a trattare le animelle in questo modo: sfido chiunque, assaggiandole, a decifrare di cosa si tratta! L'abbinamento con la circorietta di campo e la salsa brie è semplicemente fenomenale. Plauso anche per i saltimbocca di capesante: semplice, si fa per dire, genialità. Confermatissima la trippa: ne ho già scritto in passato e non mi ripeto. I primi: bottoni di pasta ripieni alla scarola, pinoli e olive, delicata transumanza partenopea sulle tavole della nostra Roma, e linguine all'aglio nero e bottarga, sapientemente aromatizzate. I dessert: ciambella con crema al lemon curd e, dall'altra parte, caffè con "piccola" pasticceria (veleggiamo con la "petite patisserie" sulle 2.000 calorie....). E ora, mi sia concessa, menzione speciale per Mirka che mi ha iniziato alla Vitovska di Vodopivec: da talebano del Riesling, non credevo alle mie papille. Semplicemente sontuoso.... Che dire: un peccato mortale non venirci! AVANTI TUTTA, RAGAZZE!!!
