I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lazio

08/01/2026: Our first taste of Rome’s espresso & ice cream magic: Terrazza Ciampini – coffee, gelato & Roman atmosphere at its best As tourists visiting Rome for only a week, we were looking for places that could give us an authentic taste of the city – and Terrazza Ciampini delivered far beyond expectations. It became our very first unforgettable experience with authentic Roman coffee and Italian ice cream, and we loved every minute of it. The location is simply perfect. After a walk through the beautiful Villa Borghese Park, one of Rome’s most impressive green spaces -filled with trees, paths, fountains, and a peaceful, classic Roman atmosphere-, we reached the elegant surroundings of Villa Medici. The café sits right in this charming zone. The terrace itself offers a refined yet relaxed environment. The service was exceptionally kind, attentive, and welcoming. The staff treated us with genuine warmth, making us feel comfortable even though we were first-time visitors and did not speak Italian. The caffè doppio was outstanding – rich, aromatic, and perfectly prepared. It was our introduction to Rome’s coffee culture, and we could not have asked for a better first impression. And then came the gelato. The menu describes it beautifully: “… ice cream is like a perfume. Everyone has his own. Mine has all the flaws of a homemade ice cream.” This sentence perfectly reflects the experience – artisanal, real, slightly imperfect in the best way, and absolutely delicious. The texture was creamy, the flavours were natural, and it felt like a handcrafted masterpiece rather than a commercial dessert. The ice cream alone is worth the visit. If you want great coffee, incredible gelato, and a beautiful setting surrounded by one of Rome’s best parks and piazzas, this is the place—a classy Roman pause in the middle of sightseeing – peaceful, scenic, and memorable. Highly recommended. A first excellent taste of Rome we will never forget.

14/11/2025: A very pretty setting. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is closed outside of the summer season, however, you can definitely stop by for an ice cream on the terrace any time of year.

15/02/2026: The worst place I've ever been. I travel a lot and always check reviews and prices on Google, but this is the first time something like this has happened to me. The bill was different from the price listed on the menu. The dish wasn't what was on the menu – instead of rice balls for €2, I got three buckets of chips for €6 each. It's a disgrace. I found a review that said they were ripping off tourists – I agree 100%, and I don't recommend it! The staff didn't even ask if everything was okay :(

20/01/2026: My calzone was a little too salty in the middle, but apart from that, the rest was good.

26/07/2025: Endroit assez sympathique, par contre, très étonnée du prix payé à la caisse pour une bière, un coca et une assiette de bruschetta mixte 32€

14/07/2025: Gran ambiente y comida de calidad - sabroso y en Inglés. Delicioso y variado menú. Tamaño generoso de la porción - personal amable

21/03/2026: Great food and service with a stunning view of the lake..

14/03/2026: I arrived with high expectations given the online reviews. The menu offers maybe two vegetarian dishes (when you write "vegetarian options," you expect a wider selection), but the staff is willing to vary the recipes by removing the meat or fish components. I'm only talking about my two dishes: supplì (rice balls), I've had better ones—the rice was overcooked inside and the crust wasn't crispy at all, and the fried artichokes were rubbery and flavorless. I paid €28 and only drank water. (My friends also ordered a first course each, splitting a portion of fried artichokes, and drank water.) Wonderful view, friendly service, but questionable food quality and an outrageous price. For tourists.

16/11/2025: We found ourselves there by chance, there would be a few things to review, the owner/waiter was very kind, the atmosphere was quiet, a little more attention to the food would be appreciated, in any case the prices were fair.

13/08/2025: A simple osteria in a location we found by chance, very close to the abbey. The atmosphere was relaxed, the owner who welcomed us was very friendly and professional, and the food was excellent, made with top-quality ingredients, and the prices were lower than average. We had a great time.

07/03/2026: A very nice place, but the menu has few options, and the service is very slow.

05/02/2026: A very disappointing experience. We wanted to have tea time, but we emailed in advance to inquire about the price and what the service and/or experience included (€25 per person). Once seated, we were confirmed with the tea package and its price and asked if we'd like water, but there was no menu at the table to see prices and/or extras. We were served a few savory dishes and then had to choose some desserts from the trolley, which were then served to us. For tea, we were only served a small cup of hot water, which barely filled the (small) teacup. When it came time to pay the bill, I discovered that the pre-bill was €63, which included €8 for a bottle of water (well over the cost of the tea time package) and, in addition, €5 for an unspecified "optional" service. In short, how to transform the desire to indulge into a disappointing experience and a mockery of customers.

02/06/2025: Ci siamo trovati per caso in questo ristorante per caso, dopo una giornata alle terme di saturnia abbiamo trovato un cibo buonissimo sia primi che secondi che contorni . complimenti ai camerieri christian e franco che hanno svolto un lavoro eccellente molto accoglienti e disponibili la crema catalana era strepitosa la consigliamo prezzo ottimo

03/05/2025: Speso poco, mangiato tanto, secondi buoni, primi deludenti, location carina, spazi molto ristretti. Consigliato per mangiare con budget limitato.

06/03/2026: Pizza was good but I would like it to have been a bit hotter in temp. Tiramisu was absolutely divine! The restaurant was quiet while we were there so it reduced the atmosphere but it was still a very pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

06/02/2026: Last summer, when I was in Rome, I ate here several times, and I still think about the incredibly delicious food. The hosts and the chef were also very friendly. My sister and I tried several dishes on the menu, and everything tasted fantastic. For me, it's the best pasta in Rome!

14/12/2025: Simple, welcoming place, we ate very well, the carbonara was fabulous!!!! Honest prices

28/09/2025: Food was so good, the breakfast menu is small but perfect. Toastie was great and the omelette was amazing!

19/03/2026: I was walking near Piazza Navona and found this excellent restaurant. The service was great and the food was perfect! I recommend the ricotta ravioli, the meatballs, and the salad with buffalo mozzarella. I was very lucky to find this restaurant. I highly recommend it!

18/03/2026: A simple and quick lunch. While very good, if you eat a proper meal, consider ordering a main course and other items as the portions are very small.

13/03/2026: I work nearby, so I go there often. It's very good.

05/03/2026: Okay, the wall is the wall, eh!! 😉

31/03/2026: Stayed for the Rome Ostia Half Marathon. Also used by elite athletes. Strategic location in the EUR district. Comfortable room, but issues with the heating (difficult to adjust) and the bathroom (the shower was in the bathtub; the doors didn't cover enough space to prevent water from spilling out of the tub and getting wet on the floor; the entire room filled with damp after a short shower). Good breakfast.

27/03/2026: To stay overnight is ok, breakfast was excellent. This hotel is located outside the city center.

30/12/2025: I don't recommend it because of the prices and the staff. It was better years ago.

24/12/2025: We've never felt ripped off like we did at this bar. The prices were crazy, with NO INFORMATION, and NO DISPLAYED PRICES. If you touch the table, the prices double. I've never seen anything like it, not even in luxury places. A €4 cappuccino and a stuffed white pizza were charged at €4.50, which went from €4.50 to €7 because I dared to eat at the table. A €2.20 Coke went from €4.50 to €4.50. Be careful ⚠️ before setting foot in this place. These places shouldn't exist; it's shameful for this city.

18/01/2026: The first course was very salty, cold, the fish was inedible and there was very little of it. No one liked the pizza. They had the orders mixed up for the tagliata. Those who wanted it well done were served cold because they were eating the first course. The only positive note was that the owner didn't charge for the first course, apologizing for what had happened. However, the price was too high for what we ate. We basically went home to have a spaghetti dinner.

06/01/2026: With the dining room practically empty, it took them an hour and a half to serve three appetizers and three pizzas. The cold cuts for the appetizer weren't good, and the dining room was cold. The bill was reasonable, just under €70 for three, but even the pizza was, at best, unremarkable. I won't be returning.

10/03/2026: The staff were friendly and helpful, and the mini pastries (which I bought on that very occasion) were truly delicious. Highly recommended

20/09/2025: The best bombs in Terracina, an excellent family-run business with friendly staff and excellent products.
