This local gourmet food shop was a great find in Rome!…read more One of about half a dozen locations in the Rome metropolitan region, this one is located a few blocks northeast of the Vatican. Passing by I walked in on a whim and was glad I did. Inside it's set up like an old school general store of sorts. Shelves upon shelves of all sorts of food are everywhere you look--from herbs and spices, olive oils and balsamic vinegars, dried pastas of regional brands and variety, candy and chocolates, canned/jarred/dried products from artichokes to lentils to anchovies, roasted coffee beens, even international items Thai curry sauce and Middle Eastern tahini. Hundreds of bottles of wine and liquors line the shelves. Spending about 30 minutes here, I found some pasta and cooking spices to bring back for friends as souvenirs. The prices were higher than a regular supermarket though some brands appeared to be less commonplace (or least I hope they were for those pasta prices lol). Would stop by again if in that part of Rome!

We told them that we were in a rush to get to the top of the hill before the sunset and I asked the owner to select a wine for us. He picked the most amazing white wine, opened the bottle for us and put plastic cups in a bag and sent us on our way. He was so accommodating. And the price of the wine was excellent. If you ever go to Rome it's worth a trip to this wine shop to stock up on amazing and reasonably priced wine.

Call me impressed! I had the best lasagna à la Bolognese I have ever had at this restaurant. It…read moreliterally melted in my mouth and had me wishing for a second slice. Clearly superior ingredients, including the cheeses of which they use three, superior pasta, and a chef that knows what he's doing! Relative to the wine I had tonight, they have a very large selection of wines where it literally numbers in the hundreds. The 2020 Cesari Amarone I had with dinner was exceptional (rated 4.2 in Vivino). I ended up getting two glasses while dining. Earlier in the day before dinner, I came in for several glasses of locally produced whites that were very good as well and were recommended by the hostess. For you wine snobs that are out there this is truly is a restaurant you want to check out as they have all price points here and kudos to the owner for stocking a very diversified and excellent selection of wines! This restaurant comes across as a very classy establishment as the selection of wines adorn literally three of the four walls within the business. It has a bright clean interior with a nice comfortable vibe to it where any wine aficionado will love the place. It also offers outdoor dining for those that want this environment however, there is quite a bit of foot traffic and cars that go by this restaurant which kind of minimizes the enjoyment of the outside dining Overall, this is an outstanding restaurant if you're looking for a superior dining experience that won't break the bank and enjoy a glass of finer wine, you should definitely check this place out. Five stars in my book all day long.

We ordered an Old Fashioned and Mojito for Apéritif and enjoyed both. Once again we moved to another table that was outside but with cover once we decided to stay for dinner. Cool Bar area and a party room that housed their extensive collection of Wine. Outdoor seating was okay. We started with the Roman style Artichoke-seemed like it was missing something so we asked for some olive oil and Balsimic vinegar which made a huge difference. The Burrata/Prosciutto starter didn't disappoint with mild, slightly salty Ham. I asked the server which she would recommend-Sea Bass or Frutti de Mare Spaghetti-Frutti de Mare (Poseidon) it is. Full of fresh seafood with a very light tomato sauce-delicious! Were able to substitute spaghetti for ravioli in the Pesto/sundried tomato entree which was a nice touch-Pesto sauce was amazing! We paired it with a recommended Rose-Calafuria-just right fruity with 100% Negroamaro grape. Service was engaged and attentive. Make this Monti stop for their extensive cocktail and wine selections!

First take a table in their outside patio it is really nice, and order an aperitivo I love an aperol spritz or a negroni, they bring a complimentary amuse buche which in this case was a polenta cake with pomegranate sauce on top, quite nice. Then we ordered starters, apparently the menus are seasonal so they change constantly to ensure all ingredients are fresh! Which is good with me! The tuna is awesome and they also have different fusion type cuisine dishes which will blow you away. The service here is outstanding, our server kept checking on us and explaining everything and even making recommendations based on the day's best ingredient! Pro tip- for dessert just ask for the hazelnut soufflé it is out of this world good!

Went there at the end of a great trip. Food was ok. Ordered some drinks and the waitress, who…read moredidn't speak much English, brings us two wrong drinks and both non-alcoholic. Pointed out to her that they isn't what we ordered and she tells us, after checking with management, she can't change it and no refund. That would keep me out of anywhere forever. Go at your own risk.

Coming from California, we have a lot of wineries there too, but Fabio, the owner, took the time to show us different kinds of Moscato, my fave! We ended up buying 3 bottles :). Since we had already eaten our dinner, we came to the shop to get dessert and we sure were pleasantly surprised, you have to try their home made tiramisu, we had both flavors, the coffee and strawberry - yummy! They also, sell sandwiches which we heard from our fellow guests, were superb. We will have to try that next :)! Excellent food and service, worth every penny!
