The menu was on a chalkboard behind the bar area which was a bit difficult for me to read as a near sighted person so I had to take a picture and use my phone to zoom in.

Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

A beautiful place with a family atmosphere- delicious food. Would come back again and againread more

My husband and I had a memorable lunch at this welcoming and superb restaurant. It was our last…read moreday in Rome and since we wanted seafood, we thought that a Sardinian restaurant would be a good choice. Lucky us to have chosen Eleonora d'Arborea. Located in an outer neighborhood (you can take a bus from Pizazza Venezia to within a couple of blocks of the restaurant), we had a late reservation but entered to find the comfortable main rooms still active and lively. When our waiter realized we spoke English, he sought out the owner who helped us navigate the large menu of choices and with his encouragement, we made a meal of primarily the restaurant's starters. We had crudos and tartares, raw clams, and plates of fish and vegetables. The food was extraordinary. Probably the best seafood I've ever had, and I grew up on the New England coast and now live in NYC -- I think I know fish. We also enjoyed a delicious Sardinian wine and ended the meal with the owner's treat of two small glasses of a strawberry liqueur, house-made. Our only regret was that it was our last day in Rome and couldn't return to try more things on the menu. We appreciated the restaurant's friendliness, helpful service, and most of all, the superb fish and shellfish. If I can't travel to Sardinia, I can only hope to return soon to Rome so we can eat at Eleonara d'Arborea again.

They are known for the best Truffle anything anywhere. lol. A little tricky to find and very small. Maybe 6 or 7 tables at most. I was surprised when I read the Yelp reviews that a few of my awesome Yelpers also dined here too and gave high marks so I was very excited to give them a try. After ordering some tasty vino we went the Focaccia with mozzarella, black truffle with a truffle cream sauce. The Focaccia was lite and a thin crust. Topped with some delicious mozzarella and black truffle made this appetizer and home run choice. After the Focaccia I decided to stay on theme and went with the Fettuccine al tartufo nero e porcini (fettuccine black truffle & porcini mushrooms). Holy cow, a delicious culinary delight. Some other hits of the table included the beef fillet with green pepper sauce & Digione mustard. Astice grigliato, verdure al vapore e maionese alla curcuma (Grilled lobster with steamed veggies in a mayonnaise turmeric sauce and a Lasagna, tartufo nero, funghi, mozzarella e grana (lasagna with blach truffle, mushrooms, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese) All were just amazing. Impeccable service and an old world Italian charm decor made this a delightful experience.

We arrived just a little after they opened their doors for the day so it wasn't too busy. I will say it started filling up by the time we left, but I don't think you need to rush to beat the lunch bunch rush on a weekday! I ordered the Lasagna and my sister ordered the Amatriciana (a traditional Italian dish with tomato sauce and pork cheek). The food didn't take long to prepare and we enjoyed the nice and quiet restaurant. They also have wifi so you can browse the Internet while you wait! I loved the flavor of my lasagna. It was rich and the acidity from the tomato sauce cut the dish really nice. The portion wasn't too big so I wasn't too full after finishing the entire meal. The Amatriciana, however, didn't really do it for me: the acidity from the sauce was nice but there wasn't much flavor and it wasn't spicy at all, even though the server warned us about it and they noted it on the menu! The only thing I wasn't used to was the softness of the noodles. They definitely weren't al dente and I am not sure if it is because of the lack of egg, but it just seemed to disappear in your mouth. It made the meal seem lighter and I was definitely hungry after walking to the Borghese Gardens, which was about 1.8km or 1mile away. ******(After reading the other reviews, it seems like our noodles were overcooked, which is a total bummer! We originally thought it was because their noodles are only made from water and flour but I guess that is not the case) I would say the food was around 3 stars, but the service was really stellar. Our server was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home, and gave us the dangerous tip of the winter sales in Rome which we rushed to later in the day! Overall, not sure if the noodles were supposed to taste like that, but I enjoyed the experience and I definitely would give them an A+ in service!
