Porto Corallo In Monterotondo

Very well-kept place where the staff is kind and very knowledgeable in advising, the food is really excellent, I took away the risotto with scampi cream which was delicious and the fried rings were excellent, highly recommended

Sardinian restaurant, excellent fish, but they also do meat. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

Simple and welcoming place, with smiling service. They also make made-to-order desserts that are as beautiful as they are delicious!

We went for lunch today, the place was elegant and well-kept, the food was excellent and varied, we were served by a professional and friendly guy, the prices were fair, so it was an absolutely positive experience.

Beautiful location, with an elegant, seafood feel. Excellent service, very knowledgeable and welcoming staff. We started with the Corallo appetizer, consisting of marinated salmon, delicious but too delicate (we'll return to why later), fish meatballs, and, I think, a chickpea or potato cream, which was also good. The seafood salad, perfectly cooked cuttlefish and octopus, and the mussel soup, exceptional, simple yet exquisite, the best dish in the restaurant. We then complemented our appetizer with fried calamari and baby octopus. The fried calamari were generally well done, dry, golden, and crispy. The calamari were incredibly tender and truly delicious. The baby octopus were equally good. For our first courses, we had gnocchi with scampi cream, which were fabulous; spaghetti with clams and bottarga, which was very good and creamy; and ravioli with cherry tomatoes and scampi, which were also good, but I preferred the first two. For our main courses, we chose grilled sea bass, delicious, perfectly cooked with that smoky touch that cooking gives it. Then came the salmon with prosecco, the only dish I wasn't sold on. The salmon was delicate but excellent quality, but what I wasn't happy with was the supposed prosecco sauce, which unfortunately lacked flavor. I don't know if it was mixed poorly or what, but unfortunately, this dish wasn't to my liking. From my two experiences here, I've learned that the restaurant's hallmark is simple cuisine, showcasing the seafood to its fullest. This philosophy pairs well with dishes like the mussel soup, spaghetti with clams and bottarga, and ravioli, but in my opinion, not so well with, for example, the marinated salmon, which lacks that extra kick that only a spice or aroma could give it. Special mention must be made of the bread served during the meal; it was very good. For dessert, we tried the hazelnut and gianduja mousse, good but also too delicate, and the seadas, perfect. Of all the desserts on offer, the absolute best are the red wine biscuits served with coffee and a digestive. Speaking of digestive, I recommend the myrtle. To accompany our lunch, they offered and served us an excellent prosecco. I'll definitely be back.
