Virgo In Andria

05/04/2026: We wanted a special Easter dinner to finish our stay at the lovely Hotel Ponte Sisto. What a joy to discover this elegant and sophisticated restaurant on the Via Giulia, just minutes away! From start to finish, the magicians in the kitchen provided a wide-ranging and astonishing display of culinary virtuosity. But the kind and attentive service from Alessio was a truly integral part of the pleasure we experienced. We hope Michelin and Gambero Rosso will take note and add it to their list of recommended restaurants. We loved every dish: the prawn carpaccio with sautéed sweetbreads was an idea of pure genius! The fresh linguine with sea urchin (I adore sea urchin) was a symphony of flavour. The tataki of beef with truffle, king oyster mushrooms and puntarelle (another fave) was outstanding. We were unsure which wine to choose but Alessio suggested Bric Rosé from Piedmont: perfection! Oh yes! We can’t forget desserts: millefeuille and profiteroles. Yum, yum! An inventive chef makes his home in that kitchen, for sure. Another touch: we said we were sharing, so the main courses were actually plated in twos. Really, everything was splendid, a true crown to our six days in this part of Rome. Our best meal so far. And the price versus quality is amazing; we cannot eat like this in Vancouver, Canada! 😂. We are moving to one other hotel for the next five days and expect to measure all our subsequent meals by the “Giulian Standard”! ❤️❤️❤️. Grazie Mille!

25/03/2026: We went last night for a birthday dinner. The location was beautiful and unique, the menu was varied and interesting, and the quality/price ratio was excellent. The wine list was good, and the cocktails were delicious. Vittorio provided excellent service. Highly recommended!
