L'Osteria Dell'Orologio In Fiumicino

Many are capable of serving raw food but it takes a lot of brains to invent your own language by orchestrating ingredients and flavours! We've been going there for 10 years and it's always a surprise! Well done, well done and well done! and the service guys are super good

An excursion... among flavours. A delightful location and a tasting journey through the ideas, aromas and fun and tasty combinations of chef Claroni. Care and refinement of details, from the light to the mise en place. Each ingredient is top quality and is presented in its provenance and origin... from the oil, to the bread, to the oysters, truly excellent. Absolutely worth trying, to love yourself. UPDATE 11/20/2022 Every time, coming to Osteria dell'Orologio is like a small adventure in the imagination and creativity of chef Marco Claroni. This time the occasion was my partner's birthday. Enjoying those little jewels that come out of his kitchen is an immersive experience in the flavors and aromas they offer. Everything was perfect, as always: from the table for two that we had requested, to the prosecco and the welcome aperitif, to the explanation of each dish presented and, in the end, even an unexpected special off-menu dessert with a candle for the birthday girl. The attention and hospitality of the staff contribute to creating that state of well-being that accompanies you for the entire duration of the dinner. In this regard, as a last note, but certainly not least, the pleasant surprise of finding Cristian, already known from previous restaurant experiences, in the new role of maître de salle: an attentive and highly professional person. His figure and his experience add that touch that was perhaps a little lacking and which, I am sure, will take this excellent restaurant to another step.

Fantastic food! Great for fresh fish. Raw, cooked, you name it. Impeccable service and knowledgeable staff.

The tavern is always a guarantee for the quality of the fish, the first courses are slightly savoury (risotto and plin) but overall the dishes are really good.

High level experience in the search for quality, flavours, consistencies and temperatures of the elements that make up each dish in a harmony that is difficult to find elsewhere and that surprises every time

Truly unique place for quality and hospitality

Really satisfied, the tasting menu is excellent, a crescendo of flavors that ends with an equally good dessert. Care of the service always informal but prepared and attentive.

Located in the heart of Fiumicino, L'Osteria dell'Orologio overlooks the canal where local fishing boats dock, offering a suggestive view and a welcoming atmosphere. Chef Marco Claroni, together with sommelier Gerarda Fine, expertly guides this restaurant mentioned in the MICHELIN Guide, offering creative and refined seafood cuisine. During my visit, the dining experience was impeccable. The entrée elegantly introduced the gastronomic journey, while the grilled octopus, tender and tasty, enhanced the freshness of the local catch. All this was accompanied by an excellent champagne, carefully selected from the wine list. The service was attentive and friendly, and the small pastry served with coffee concluded the dinner on a sweet and refined note. The Osteria dell'Orologio stands out for its attention to the quality of its ingredients and its ability to enhance local fish through innovative techniques, such as the artisanal production of bottarga and seafood cured meats. A gastronomic experience that deserves to be lived.

Ristorante con tavoli al chiuso e tavoli in veranda coperta. Tavoli piuttosto ravvicinati, ambiente poco illuminato. Menù prevalentemente di pesce. Carta dei vini piuttosto limitata, con proposte di varie regioni italiane ed europee, ricarichi elevati. Molto buoni i due tipi di pane caldo fatto in casa (4 euro a cestino). Siamo stati accolti con un prosecco e 3 piccoli amuse bouche. Abbiamo preso un antipasto di crudo (70 euro) adeguato per 2 persone. Discreti il risotto con molluschi e gli spaghetti con lupini (un tipo di piccole vongole) e bottarga. Molto buono il carciofo ripieno di tonno (un po’ caro, 22 euro). Ottima - e rara da trovare - la milanese di arzilla, buono ma poco variato il fritto misto. Per contorno abbiamo preso un’insalata grigliata ed un carciofo alla romana con salsa tonnata. Non entusiasmante la crostata robiola e cioccolato, buono il danubio dolce con crema. Abbiamo pasteggiato con un Riesling di Stigler, un Chardonnay di Eric Forest e, con il dessert, con il vino di visciole Visner. Porzioni abbondanti. Tempi di attesa lunghi e servizio cortese ma un po’ disorganizzato (domenica a pranzo, con il massimo dei clienti, è frequente). Per 1 antipasto, 1 primo, 1 secondo e 1 dolce abbiamo pagato circa 140 euro a persona; ci è sembrato caro in relazione all’offerta e al servizio.

Frequentiamo questo ristorante da anni ed appena cambiano il menu ci andiamo subito! Il menu degustazione da 6 portate di questo periodo é uno dei più buoni…soprattutto il carciofo alla romana con crudo e cotto di tonno! Il danubio con zabaione il mio preferito…spero non lo tolgano mai dal menu.
