The food is excellent and the staff cook a variety of dishes including seafood and Calabrian specialties. A member of our party is Calabrian by ancestry and testified to the authenticity of the ones we ordered. The prix fixe menu for 15 € is a good choice if you want to stuff yourself - portions are very generous. It includes some Roman primi like spaghetti amatriciana and past arrabiata. Salads here are especially well done as well. Tiramisu is some of the best we've had. Atmosphere is informal and the dining room is below street level. Note that the address is shared with a Japanese restaurant.

We were hungry after visiting the Vatican, so I quickly went on The Fork app and found Ago e Lillo…read more I was able to book a table for our group of nine, and since there was a 20% discount off the "a la carte" menu for booking through the app in August 2025, it was an easy decision. The food and service did not disappoint. We were seated on the patio, and it was a pleasure to dine outside, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful weather on our last evening in Italy. It was a truly unforgettable experience. We savored every moment of our final dinner, which felt like the perfect send-off. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Each pasta dish was a work of art--fresh, flavorful, and a testament to authentic Italian cooking. Paired with perfectly crafted drinks, this meal was a highlight of our trip. Our star dish was the Tonnarello cacio e pepe! A special thank you to the staff for making our last night in Rome so memorable!

Less is definitely more when it comes to the restaurant design at the hall of Metamorfosi…read more Straight-forward, no frills minimalism allows the unique details to shine. From warm wood supports that hold Sicilian plaster vases, to warm espresso colored walls and soft eggshell linens, the design stimulates the philosophy that tradition evolves with the passage of time, and experience is fluid. To dine at Metamorfosi is to indulge in innovative cuisine, paired with a selection of wine that exhibits knowledge and precision of selection. A culinary gem in Rome, with service that is welcoming and engaging. I attended Metamorfosi alone for lunch, in full anticipation of the gastronomical adventure worthy of a Michelin star. As the famous Carbonara egg was placed on my table, I immediately began to know why the chef Roy Caceres is the talk of Rome. A deconstructed carbonara, consisting of an egg cooked at 65 degrees for 40 minutes and topped with parmesan foam, crispy pasta and fried pork rinds. Crunchy with a beautifully warm and thick yolk. I also tried the raw tuna and herbs, wrapped in chard leaves. Eaten with my hands, each bite was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the slightly bitter chard paired perfectly with the tang of the raw fish. The "Anti-Pasta" dish I had next was a complete surprise, as it contained noodles, made without carbohydrates and obtained from a fish soup dehydrated and enhanced by an emulsion of shrimp head and powder of sea lettuce. I have never tasted anything like this, and it was delicious. A slight seafood flavor, but with the texture of regular pasta noodles. What followed was the pigeon, cooked two ways. The first was tender and crunchy, with drops of blueberry vinegar. The second served in a corn leaf with creamed corn, huitlacoche and grated white truffle. For the first dessert, I bit into a white chocolate lollipop, to find it filled with tangy, aged blue cheese, and dipped in a Port Jam - a true original. Then came the Black Forest - mascarpone and re-fermented dark chocolate flakes, covered with cherry gel with a base of almond crumble and chocolate. The hall of Metamorfosi is truly an emulsion of creativity and craft, expressed on a culinary canvas. It's an experience I recommend: from the service, the atmosphere and the unique dishes.

Serving Rome since late-2010, Metamorfosi has carved a niche amongst Rome's largely traditional…read moredining scene, Chef and owner Roy Caceres doing so by taking local Ingredients and "transforming" them into plates that evoke ideas and emotions. Located on Via Giovanni Antonelli, in the Parioli area, it is immediately upon entry that guests are drawn in by neutral colors and wood, the warmth exuded by staff expected from a Michelin-starred Restaurant and service particularly attentive on Monday evening where only three other tables were occupied over the course of 140-minutes. Deliberately paced, and referencing everything from Chef Caceres' Colombian childhood to time in Japan, diners are asked to decide between tasting menu and a la carte after Water is poured, the latter chosen out of desire for specific items and beginning with benign Wheat Crisps followed by far more interesting housemade Bread with a blended spread of Honey Butter and Olive Oil. Dabbling in modernism, an iSi charger undoubtedly involved in Potato Foam with Octopus and Onions to whet palates, course one featured Metamorfosi's signature "Carbonara Egg 65°" riffing Rome's signature dish via immersion circulator with suspended Chicharrones while Scallop Ceviche approached a South American spice profile using Calabrian Sausage in place of Aji Peppers. Whimsical again with Primi, Caceres' S-foglia replacing Pasta with Broccoli surrounding Pork bathed by Almond Cream, "Encased" Risotto hinges more on the tableside preparation than anything else, a bit gimmicky though the taste and texture of Rice, Mushrooms and Hazelnuts are delightful. Suggesting the €85 wild-caught Mallard "for two," a tableside preparation plating Breast alongside Carob and Squash with its Seeds, steep-pricing became justified through the addition of satellite plates offering Confit with Chestnuts and Liver beneath Truffles lightly sweetened by Balsamic. Using English Stilton wrapped in White Chocolate as a bridge to Dessert, an unexpected but enjoyable choice in Italy, it was after a somewhat protracted delay thay "Malaga 2.0" arrived, the idea somewhere between Halo Halo and deconstructed Panettone thanks to Egg Yolk Ice Cream, boozy Raisins, Citrus and Bread.
