L'Eau Vive In Roma

A restaurant with excellent quality/price ratio, highly recommended.

After 39 years, I return to this restaurant in the heart of ancient Rome, with its frescoes and mystical atmosphere. But the menu has become standardized...perhaps to attract foreign tourists...

Restaurant for pilgrims, Christian tradition. Tourist meal (starter, main course, dessert) €17

Located in Palazzo Lante, a short distance from the Pantheon and the Senate. Run by welcoming and smiling Vietnamese missionary nuns. The cuisine is a blend of carefully prepared French, Vietnamese, and Italian dishes. A different dish is available every day of the week. At the end of the meal, you can sing the Ave Maria. Excellent value. A decidedly different and pleasant place. Highly recommended.

Good French restaurant with a Vietnamese influence, the waitresses are sisters from a Catholic order. Very calm and private atmosphere. I recommend the duck breast!

We wouldn't have discovered this restaurant without reading a magazine article; at first glance, it doesn't seem particularly popular. Nevertheless, a reservation is recommended – it was busy during our visit. The exceptionally friendly and attentive service of the nuns, like the delicious food itself, didn't even come close to the somewhat soberly illustrated menu. After an appetizer, pasta amatriciana, and flambéed crêpes, everyone was given a song sheet with Ave Marie sung together and a discreet reminder that the restaurant closes at 10 p.m. On the first floor, you sit in a stately dining room decorated with ceiling frescoes. There's also an extensive wine list and a very reasonable offer for delicious, poured house wine. All in all, a clear recommendation for guests who enjoy unusual concepts.

A different experience as the restaurant is operated and run by missionary nuns with a French based cuisine. Everyone enjoyed their choices which included escargot, beef medallions, creamy French onion soup and veal. The tiramisu was reported as the best one person has had in Italy.

What beautiful experience for such a wonderful cause.The food was outstanding and so was the service. I highly recommend.

This is a fantastic restaurant with a beautiful mission. 16th Century Palace that houses a Duke & Dutchess. The bottom 2 floors are given to a convent which has a charism for making amazing food providing fine dining experiences. They use the money they bring in to care for orphanages around the world. The prices are incredibly low for Rome. The wine selection is perfect. The food is prepared excellently and the service is wonderful. The sisters rely on thier patrons generosity to help fund their mission caring for poor children. This is a must stop for any catholic visiting Rome or anyone who wishes to support a beautiful mission by having an amazing meal.

Great food, wonderful singing. beautiful people.
