A corner of paradise in the center of Rome, a pleasant atmosphere, excellent quality products, and the prices are commensurate with the location. We'll definitely be returning.

This isn't our first time at Matermatuta.
The menu is always splendid: top-quality fish, with always original and absolutely delicious variations.
Probably the best seafood restaurant in central Rome.
The service is also remarkable: punctual, friendly, and helpful.
Always a divine experience at Matermatuta.

Visited twice while we were in Italy. The visits were 2 weeks apart and the first visit we had a large group (11 people) and arrived late for dinner and they were very accommodating. Both visits the service was great. Love the airy atmosphere. There is also a garden patio in the back. Seafood was great. We loved the bread with the anchovy butter to start along with fresh anchovies and the calamari and artichokes. The gnocchi special was delicious. Also enjoyed the Spaghetti with baby octopus ragout, tuna and sea bass cutlet.

An absolutely hidden gem in Rome! I haven’t eaten such fantastic seafood anywhere else in town! Go quickly before it gets discovered by tourists- I’m sure it’ll be difficult to book a table after that.

High-quality seafood
It certainly remains one of the best seafood restaurants in Rome.
The raw seafood is truly excellent, from the oysters to the shrimp tartare and carpaccio.
The only complaint is that the portions are a bit small, so you might leave feeling a little under-full.
Overall, very good.

In a Rome of stone and light, a stone's throw from that eternal heart that beats between Monti and the Quirinale, I rediscovered a discreet and refined gem: the Matermatuta restaurant. The atmosphere in the internal courtyard was suspended, thanks to a balmy, bright evening and impeccable service that welcomed without being intrusive, with sincere smiles and an elegant professionalism that can't be learned from a textbook.
Then came the pink shrimp tartare. And here every word risks sounding like an exaggeration. But no. It was perfect in texture, fresh as the sea in the morning, delicate yet with a precise character, almost musical in the way it harmonized with the aromas of the dish and the sweet air of the courtyard. It wasn't just good: it was just right. That tartare spoke an ancient and simple language, that of the sea and the art of savoir faire.
The restaurant is centrally located yet secluded, like those places that offer themselves to those who know how to look without haste. Inside, warm lights and refined spaces; Outside, a Roman corner that seems designed for slow conversations and toasts that come slowly. The entire staff moves with grace and ease: nothing is mechanical, everything is authentic. And this, in Rome, has a rare value.
If I had to describe what elegance means to me, I'd say it's precisely this: a place where everything is carefully thought out but nothing is ostentatious. And in a city where the offerings are endless, finding a restaurant like Matermatuta is like finding a friendly face in the crowd. One of those who, once met, are never forgotten.

Este es un fantástico restaurante de pescado en el barrio de Monti. Comida increíble, precios muy razonables. Fuimos el lunes de Pascua y había muy poca gente en el restaurante, espero que mucha gente venga así que todavía estará allí cuando regrese a Roma el próximo.
