11/03/2026: Looking for a place to listen to good music and eat well in Rome?
Well, this place is definitely "l'Asino che Vola"!
I chose it to spend an evening with friends in a place where I could listen to live music, eat well, and not pay a fortune... and I have to say that the location was a real surprise from this point of view. I had heard about it, but usually when something is highly praised, one is always disappointed, but in this case, I have to say that the experience far exceeded my expectations.
I'll start with the music, the highlight. The evening included a performance by Sarah Jane Olog, who, for those who don't know her, I'll just say that, listen up, on the Voice of Italy in 2015 she knocked out none other than Chiara Iezzi (of Paola and Chiara), but these are details! The evening, however, was a succession of emotions: her spectacular and powerful voice, the band that was amazing, the music overwhelming, and so much more!!!!!!
Moving on to the staff, I found them very polite, sociable, and willing to chat. Special mention goes to one of the owners, Igor La Fontana, also a top-notch musician, but above all, a character.
After all this, the menu might seem overlooked, but that's not the case; the food is excellent; there's a good selection of dishes; I recommend the stew meatballs!! Excellent wine selection. The prices are in line with other restaurants in the capital; the appetizers are perhaps a tad high, but honestly, they're plentiful and can easily be shared, so I'd say it's okay. For four of us, we spent €35 each, including a bottle of wine and water for the first course, including the €5.00 per person contribution.
What can I say? I've probably gone on too long, but I wanted you to understand how enthusiastic I was about the evening.
Final rating: 5/5
Warning: May be addictive!
