21/01/2026: We had dinner at this small, welcoming, and modern restaurant. The fish was very fresh. To start, I had a mix of beautifully presented raw fish, truly excellent and delicate. Next up were two seafood entrees: tonnarello allo scoglio (tonnarello with seafood) and gnocchi with courgette flowers and clams, both of which were also excellent. Finally, a house dessert: a profiterole and a delicious lemon sorbet to finish. The owner is truly kind and friendly, as is her staff. The place is very clean. Prices are reasonable. I recommend stopping here! 👈
19/01/2026: Quattro Monete is a decent restaurant in the heart of Rome, with well-executed dishes but nothing truly memorable.
The food is good, with no negative surprises, but the prices seem disproportionate to what's offered: it's not a rip-off, but it doesn't justify the price tag when there are nearby alternatives within the same budget that offer more in terms of quality and originality.
Personal experience
The service leaves a bit to be desired, slow and inattentive, which further lowers the overall standard despite the lovely ambiance.
From what I remembered and what I'd been told, it used to be a great value, but now that charm seems to have faded: it's sufficient for an unpretentious dinner, but I wouldn't rush back.
Practical advice
• Opt for the classic Roman dishes, which are more satisfying.
• Go if you're in a hurry or in the area, but shop around: you'll find more exciting options for the same price.
All in all, a little too close to the mark to leave disappointed, but no wow factor.
