La Ciotola In Roma

20/06/2024: Where do I begin? Everything was phenomenal. The vibe is laid back, but sharp. Wanna dress up for a date? Do it. Wanna wear jeans and a t-shirt to hang out with a friend? Do it. The welcome was genuine and friendly and the menu… we wanted to order all of it! Since we aren’t gluttons, we settled on the mushroom toast, fried artichoke hearts and an arugula salad with a truffle mushroom white pizza. In a word: delish! All of it was expertly prepared and I was darned close to licking the plates. Now that I think of it, that’s the one thing I regret not doing. Also, well over half their wines are available by the glass. It’s a great selection from California, France, Italy and Spain (and maybe some other places in Europe) Lastly, the olive oil cake was probably the best I’ve ever had. It wasn’t too sweet and the blueberry compote was a perfect addition. We will definitely go back.

09/06/2024: I had a 3 hour dinner here with a group of 5. The service, food, and atmosphere were all great. The staff was so friendly and the roof was retractable, giving us direct sunlight and a lot of fresh air. I had the chicken under brick dish which was pretty good. We also shared a cheese board and olive oil cake, both of which were amazing.
