    After a long flight from the US and arriving in Rome early in the morning, we were exhausted. With…read moreheavy rain pouring outside, we didn't want to venture far from our hotel so we decided to try the rooftop restaurant, La Fata Ignorante, at the iQ Hotel. It turned out to be the perfect choice. The rooftop setting is cozy, warm, and inviting, exactly what we needed after a long travel day. The staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming, attentive without being intrusive, and really added to the experience. The food was a standout. The pasta carbonara was absolutely amazing rich, creamy, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best versions we've had. And the tiramisu deserves a special mention: it was hands down the best we had in all of Italy during our trip. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering it's a hotel restaurant with such a nice atmosphere and high-quality dishes. Overall, La Fata Ignorante exceeded our expectations and offered the perfect first meal in Rome. We highly recommend it, whether you're staying at iQ Hotel or simply looking for a great, relaxed dining experience.

The vibe is modern, but not in a cold, inaccessible, or overly young manner: Fata is warm, friendly, and at your service. Every dish we had was packed with creative flavors and gorgeously presented. We had a really marvelous, relaxing evening here. I'd be happy to return.

    I just moved to the neighborhood and this was the first restaurant I tried. I arrived just before…read more8pm and there was no one around. There were plenty of awards listed on the door and the prices seemed reasonable so I felt like I was avoiding a tourist trap. However, given that I look Asian, I stood out like a sore thumb as I was surrounded by Italians, some speaking English but most speaking Italian. My waiter was great; however the other waiters seemed to be laughing that I was sitting alone for dinner, which maybe is a faux puax in Italy, and does not account for business persons traveling alone. When asked for recommendations on dessert, they stated the tiramisu, which was very good. Next time, I will try something else. They did try to push some alcohol on me as "authentic" so I don't think they realized that I was not looking for tourist stuff, but just good stuff. They didn't speak English that well so when I asked for leftovers to be packed up, they did not. My waiter promptly took care of that and asked packed up the delicious bread. I don't think having the boss around helped their nerves. But as for the actual food, it was quite food and reasonably priced. The octopus salad was quite good, with the fresh octopus cooked nicely--not chewy at all. I could have just eaten that because the portion sizes were so large but had already ordered the fish pasta so that was really good--pasta al dente with fresh fish, tomatoeS and olives!

    This random lunch spot pick really worked out for us. We were walking towards the Colosseum for our…read moretour and figured we should get something hearty in our bellies before that. We had no idea what was on the way, or what would be open, so we kind of just kept an eye open and checked menus as we walked. We were seated right away on the outdoor patio, our waitress came out to greet us and took our drink orders before giving us time to review the menu. We started with the Trio of Bruschetta (€10). For my main, I can't remember what it was called, but it was a spaghetti-like noodle smothered - swimming - in a buttery, anchovy-y sauce. My husband ordered the ravioli (€15). The food was excellent, exactly what we were hoping for on that hot summer afternoon. The bruschetta trio was a great starter. Our version had one tomato and basil, one mortadella and pistachio and one salmon with avocado. The toasts were crispy, the toppings different and tasty. I liked my pasta dish - I did. But it was just a lot of butter. By the time I was a few forkfuls in, I knew without a doubt I wouldn't be able to finish it. The flavor was really very good: savory and umami and saucy. But it was so SO buttery, my stomach started to tap not long after. My husband absolutely loved his rigatoni meal, making short work of his plate before taking a tentative bite of what was left on mine (he agreed on the flavor, and on the buttery-ness.) All in all a great lunchtime meal ahead of a long day of touring. Definitely would have gone back, had we had extra time.
