I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lazio

03/03/2025: We sat down on "Fat Thursday" (of course, Italians don't know this custom) and left very happy.

01/03/2025: I stopped for a coffee, cappuccino, and a slice of pizza. There were two of us. I asked if we could sit there, and they pointed to some stools. Since they were uncomfortable, I asked if we could go to the dining room, and they said no problem, and we could go wherever we wanted. The space was cramped, and we were face-to-face with our neighbors. We asked for two glasses of water, which are usually provided with the coffee. A 10-minute wait. Finally, my friend tried to go to the counter and lure us to bring them to the table. The surprise came with the bill. Coffee was €2.50, cappuccino €3.50, and a slice of pizza (very good) was almost €10. I'm sure we'd have gotten a round pizza at a pizzeria and gotten better service. No one had mentioned the surcharge at the table. When I stood up and ordered a coffee, it cost €1.30. No menu was displayed, and the staff were almost all foreign and colorful, perhaps intentionally placed because of their limited communication skills with Italians. My idea, eh... I don't recommend it because of the dishonesty, customer service, and prices. I recommend it because of the taste of the products. .... But what can I say? Tourists are their main target, customer service doesn't matter.

12/10/2025: On Saturday night, 15 of us sat down, ready for a quiet evening with friends... and instead, we found ourselves in a nightmare. We started ordering drinks: they didn't have still water, only sparkling water. That says it all. Okay, we adjusted and ordered 10 bottles of sparkling water. After a few minutes, the waitress returned to tell us that... they'd run out of that too. We ordered beers: we asked the same waitress for Weiss. After two minutes, the owner appeared to inform us that they'd never had Weiss. Perfect, by now we should have figured out where we'd ended up. Let's move on to the food: "Kitchen Nightmare" quality, and that's not just a figure of speech. All the fried foods on the menu were "unavailable" because—in their own words—"we removed the fryer, now we use the air fryer." Perhaps to save on electricity. We then ordered some fried chicken strips (so to speak). After an hour of waiting, they arrive: sour, inedible. The sandwiches are burnt, with bacon that probably went bad, and the meat seems to have been shared between multiple sandwiches. The quality of the food was simply disgraceful, and the kitchen management is appalling. At that point, we decide to get up and leave without touching practically anything. They also charge us 10 euros each without having eaten practically anything. And, as if that weren't enough, we see the uneaten sandwiches being set aside as if they intend to reuse them in the future. A place like this shouldn't even open its doors to the public. Zero organization, food worthy of criticism, and management that's embarrassing to say the least. I've never had an experience like this. But the final gem... they had a DJ playing outside... there wasn't any still water, but there was a DJ.

12/10/2025: Surreal experience: we called to reserve a table for 15 at 11:00 PM on a Saturday night, and they confirmed we could eat. Ignoring the fact that half the dishes on the menu weren't available, we ordered drinks and, after being brought a few beers and five bottles of water, we were told they'd run out of water for the evening (12:00 AM on a Saturday night). We'd ordered a few portions of chicken nuggets, and what we received were inedible chicken strips (left there after just one taste), undercooked chicken, and rancid meat. The best part was the sandwiches, since as soon as the first three arrived (we'd ordered 15), we noticed that the bun was burnt, the bacon wasn't bacon, and, most importantly, that the burger had been cut horizontally and was COLD. Given the situation, we decided to pay and get up without having barely touched any food, and without the staff apologizing or saying a word about what had happened. I think it would have been enough to communicate that they didn't have the resources/staff necessary to provide dinner (and water). I've never had an experience like this before, so if you're thinking of stopping by for a bite to eat, it's definitely worth avoiding.

06/05/2026: I had a really enjoyable experience at this restaurant. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavors and a fresh, high-quality taste. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. The waiters were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Overall, it’s a place I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for great pizza and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll be coming back for sure!

06/05/2026: I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was a truly wonderful experience the food was exceptional every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and full of rich flavors the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauces were clearly made with high-quality ingredients. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in both presentation and taste the staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend dishes and ensure everything was just right. Service was smooth without being intrusive, overall, this restaurant offers a genuine taste of Italy and a memorable dining experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates great food and excellent service.

12/03/2026: A very spacious and impressive venue. It presents itself as a high-end restaurant with very professional service and very high prices. It's a shame that the final result was very disappointing. An expensive fillet, tough as a rock... cooked quite well but probably of mediocre quality. The appetizers were also rather bland. The wait was excessively long, even though the restaurant was practically empty. The service, despite appearing very professional, also faltered on two or three occasions over trivial matters. Disappointing and overpriced for the quality of the food.

09/02/2026: The Quirinale Hotel Restaurant. The service was exceptional, bordering on excessive. The waiter even placed my napkin on my leg. Because of my work, I've eaten at high-end restaurants, and Rossini's service is certainly up to par. However, the food was disappointing; perhaps we didn't choose their specialties. My partner ordered fish, and it was clearly freshly defrosted and poorly cooked. My sirloin steak was tough and dry for my taste. The wine by the glass was very good, but they charge extra. We saw other customers ordering Italian pasta and pizza dishes, but we weren't in the mood for dinner, so perhaps we didn't choose our dishes well. Congratulations to the front-of-house team; very well done, gentlemen.

03/03/2026: Quality, speed, and professionalism—we had a great time. We'll be back!

01/02/2026: Informal restaurant with good food

26/04/2026: Special thanks to the waiter Zakaria, for his commitment and professionalism, all the best 😊

23/03/2026: Restaurant inside the Mercure Rome Fiumicino hotel. Spacious atmosphere and average menu. Amatriciana and cacio e pepe are perhaps a little lighter in flavor than true Roman tradition. The restaurant also offers pizza. Courteous and helpful staff. Good coffee and a friendly and helpful barista.

25/05/2026: A pleasant evening. First time at this restaurant and certainly not the last. The service was prompt, and the young, bearded waiter was very attentive and interested in the evening's progress. Kudos! Everything was delicious, even the beer was cold. The lady inside was sweet and welcoming. I'm not giving it five stars because the table was a bit unstable, and I'd recommend cushions for the chairs. Overall, the bill was fully reasonable for the quality of the dishes and the service.

10/04/2026: We ate outside, which was very pleasant. The place is unpretentious, but all in all, for a last-minute lunch on Easter Monday, it was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. We'll be back to try the wood-fired pizza! I've read other terrible reviews; I don't know what they were expecting. It's definitely not a 5-star restaurant. €50 for two, including half a liter of wine, two bottles of water, an appetizer, two first courses, and two coffees. The only caveat: artichokes should be on the menu. Those coming from outside Rome have the right to try them. 😁

27/10/2025: Pizza I think frozen, my stomach hurts thank you. Salad not even seasoned. Hard bread. Rude waitress and exorbitant price. I don't like to leave bad comments but there are limits. It's a joke and a shame because the terrace is rather nice

22/10/2025: Nothing to complain about, a very friendly atmosphere and a place with a wide selection of both sweet and savory items. The outdoor area is also very nice and quiet. Excellent choice.

25/05/2026: Super-stuffed sandwiches, tramezzinis, and piadinas with excellent combinations! The girls are helpful and kind, highly recommended!

03/02/2026: They scammed me!!!! I paid €2.50 for a coffee and €4 for a chamomile tea. Nothing special, by the way. I personally won't be going back!

04/05/2026: We went to this restaurant today and ordered à la carte steak, which is sold by the 100 grams. At no point were we told the weight of the meat, which seemed strange, but okay. We went to pay the bill; there were almost 3 kilos of meat, but it didn't even weigh 1.5 kilos, not to mention the bone was huge. We complained, and they got angry. To avoid problems, we paid and left. If we had checked their reputation on Google, we wouldn't have fallen for it. It's a shame we didn't think of that beforehand!

03/05/2026: Well, just really mediocre, the food was bad and the orange juice was also too sweet and way too watery.

02/06/2026: I stopped in almost by chance for an aperitivo and was pleasantly surprised. The aperitivo was excellent and not at all predictable, with many excellent tastings. The owners were very kind, highly recommended.

31/05/2026: Thanks to Daniele, my partner, my brother, and I were able to try Zi Amalia's specialties this week. Delicious montanare, just like the ones my mom used to make, and special spritzes with new and untried flavors.
