The only restaurant we visited twice in Rome! I’d been searching for a seafood pasta that balances the seafood flavors with the sauce, and this was it. We started with the gourmet pizza, which surprised us with its mix of flavors and textures. The Spaghetto Mancini is a must-try: it begins with a hint of lime, then the olive oil brings out the aroma, and the shrimp underneath is simply amazing. The linguine also delivers a rich, satisfying seafood flavor. The tiramisu was decent, not as special as the other dishes.

The food was the best tasted ever. In whole Europe. Even chef compliment which is usually nothing too wow, here is 11/10. From oysters, carpaccio to mancini and fish of the day, each dish was absolutely perfect. This restaurant should have a star. Big applause to chef. Everything amazing.

Absolutely amazing! The starters, especially tartar of some fish I don’t remember the name. Then Pasta with some white fish was the best thing I ate in years. (And I’m in Italy for 3 weeks already) Lastly, the fish of the day I think is a must in this place! Always come here!!

Be sure to make a reservation and prepare for an exceptional seafood dinner. We had an amazing time, wonderful staff with lovely service, many languages spoken here. Atmosphere was a beautiful combination of modern and original architecture. The menu has innovative and classical takes on specialty seafood dishes, any one of them will be perfect, you cannot go wrong. We ordered cold and hot appetizers, and grilled mains with pasta, and cute perfect dolce. Great selection of wines and recommendations. Flavors were wonderful, dishes came with perfect timing. The ambience added to the meal in a charming but extravagant way for a lovely high end experience. We will absolutely return here!

We visited this place twice during our stay in Rome, and it truly stood out as the best spot for fresh seafood. Daniel made our experience even more special by welcoming us warmly and providing detailed explanations of the menus. It was a shame that he was off on the second day. Angela was equally lovely and attentive. We couldn’t resist ordering the pasta with shrimp again, as it was the most delectable pasta I’ve ever had in Italy.

Our first visit to Rome and I found out about this place, as I love my seafood. I could go on forever about each dish, but the fact that I enjoyed my starter, main and desert with equally as much positivity, I’ll just say that you’d be mad not visiting. Every dish was presented wonderfully, tasted amazing and the wine selection was truly magnificent. I’ll tell you what was even better than the food, it was the warmness and welcoming attitude of the staff, every single person that I had the pleasure of meeting was a credit to the industry. If you’re in Rome, love great seafood and fancy a treat night out, this place is fantastic! One starter, two mains, two desserts, a bottle of sparkling water and two glasses of wine €150. Oh, between my main and dessert they brought us a frozen lemon slice coated in sugar, that was a treat I never thought I’d enjoy so much and the waiter brought us extra after me telling him how wonderful they were! Thank you to you all and if you’re reading this considering going, get yourselves to what must be one of the best restaurants in Rome.

Quaint seafood restaurant in the heart of Rome. Service was really nice and in the dimly lit alley, dinner was romantic. We had 2 raw appetizers: salmon tartare and white fish carpaccio. Both were very fresh, and the capers / red onions on the carpaccio were the perfect pairing. For the mains- the clam linguine and octopus with potato pavée were very tasty. The tiramisu was very nice. I would take my parents here.
