About the restaurant

VICO non è solo una pizzeria, ma un’esperienza di gusto e divertimento! Dopo le deliziose pizze di Enzo Coccia, il locale offre ottimi drink e musica in un’atmosfera elegante e coinvolgente, il tutto per offrirvi una serata indimenticabile.
VICO sorge nel cuore di Roma, in un contesto dove arte e bellezza sono indiscusse protagoniste. La storia e la modernità in un circolo virtuoso, in cui il cibo diventa lo strumento attraverso cui sublimare emozioni.
Nella parola VICO sono racchiuse le iniziali del suo nome: Vincenzo Coccia, uno dei massimi esponenti del mondo della pizza. Un pizzajuolo con una maniacale attenzione verso le procedure di impasto, tra i primi che ha proposto l’abbinamento pizza e vino.
Allora...CHE CE STA MEJ DE NA PIZZ?

Campo Marzio

About the restaurant

Clorofilla is the new restaurant and cocktail oasis the locals can’t stop talking about. And who can blame them? Tucked away on a quiet side street footsteps from piazza Campo de’ Fiori, it’s the ultimate place for dinner and late night drinks.
Step inside this locale to be immersed in a completely different atmosphere…warm tones, good vibes, bricked walls, a stunning L-shaped bar with over 100 liquors, a cozy and trendy dining area and plants surrounding the whole setting. Not to mention a tree!
Stop by for aperitivo (€15) to indulge in a wide selection of drinks accompanied by cured meats and cheese boards. Italian gourmet cuisine as well as Roman delicacies with a twist are in store for you. From seasonal tartares to carbonara with truffle shavings, you’re in for a pleasant surprise at Clorofilla. And did I mention that everything is homemade – yes even the bread and sauces. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, wait until you taste their desserts!

COCKTAILS, CRUDO & PIZZA

The rarity of a Rome rooftop terrace with views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, makes W Rome's upper floor all the more exceptional. It’s here that Seu Pizza con Vista, it serves cocktails, crudo and pizza, bringing the later to a whole new level with Pier Daniele Seu, winner of the Best Pizzaiolo 2022 award.

One of the best experiences ever. We celebrated our 18th anniversary there and it was truly memorable. From the food to the service to the magnificent view, we had it all. A special shout out to our main server Ludmila . What a wonderful professional. If you want something special, you can't miss at the Miraballe.

About the restaurant

The lunch and dinner services are organized on the rooftop. Only in case of bad weather (rain), we need to move the service inside to our internal restaurant on the ground floor.
Our staff will guide you through a complete journey, turning your dream into reality.

Looking forward to welcoming you,

Oro Bistrot Staff.

The tasting menu was excellent, we enjoyed the wine pairing immensely, as well. Weather did not permit outdoor rooftop seating as reserved. We were notified earlier in day that we may have to eat indoors due to weather, the only disappointment being it was not explained that meant we would be dining in the FIRST floor dining room, not indoors on the rooftop. Still, the dinner and service were superb!

About the restaurant

Anima, meaning ‘soul' in Italian, speaks true to the dishes prepared, as a tastement of the emotionality of food and the importance of interaction with guests. It is for that reason that the kitchen is open-fronted and screened with ambered glass, so all can admire the chefs work. Anima opens to a charming courtyard for outdoor dining, a lush oasis with over 400 flourishing plants, climbing vines, teak benches, and Italian-style lanterns, evoking a Roman garden vibe. The menus at Anima showcase a blend of classics reinvented with a modern flair, drawing inspiration from Italy's celebrated array of fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients

I love that place, and Edoardo and his team truly know how to take care of their guests. They are always so kind, attentive, and professional. Beyond the excellent service, the food and drinks are top-notch. The cocktails are absolutely delicious and leave you craving more. I also love the interior and overall design! It's a 10/10 spot in Prati.

Thank you for choosing Mariolino.
Fresh pasta, good food with good friends around the table. Da Mariolino is meant to bring you the Rome we know and love. Tucked in a historic townhouse just one block from the Spanish Steps, our restaurant in named for the street where we're located and artist Mario de' Fiori. We honor the creative spirit of the neighborhood with a setting that blends the old World and the new, art that nods to the rione's history, and recipes rooted in tradition but crafted with a twist.

I was in Rome for 3 days with my 17 year old son and we mainly grabbed food on the go but decided to treat ourselves to something a bit special and this did not disappoint. We were greeted warmly and offered a table inside or out. As it was pretty hot and humid we sat inside where it was cooler and quieter. The staff were attentive and helpful without being overbearing and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Thoroughly recommend Da Mariolino
