Well I must say this was not as good as we had expected. We booked this for our 32nd anniversary hoping we would be wowed. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Not concerned so much with the price and portion size as I expected this but the flavor wasn't what you would expect from a Chef chasing the Michelin Star. Plus nothing special for our anniversary which they knew about. Not even so much of a "Happy Anniversary ". The food was good but not worth the $400+ Euro cost (flavor wise). The service was really good with an attendant standing by the entire time. It was dark inside with a great view of the Vatican St Peter's. Sad to say we will not be going back. 3.5 stars overall but we will leave 4 because of service attendants. read more

this place SUCKED. I had the ravioli and my wife had steak and it was just so meh. And for dessert I ordered a canoli and omg its like they had no idea what a canoli was. Like they had never seen one before and a small child described it to them and they shrugged and went "ok well we'll try our best" and then went back into the kitchen and filled a fkng eggroll with whip cream. Their chocolate soufflé was somehow absolutely tasteless. Only ignorant tourists who think because they are in Rome the food MUST be great keep this place alive. read more

Forgot about dinner and a movie, just hop on a plane and fly to Rome ASAP. The experience was amazing from the reservations to the moment we left in our taxi. This place was recommended by our travel agent who also mentioned that it's Michelin Star rated restaurant(not sure if that's true). We initially reserved it and had direct email communication to confirm. Off the bat, I felt they truly care about customer service. When we arrived, we noticed it was at the top of a hotel. We were seated immediately at sunset. The seating was comfortable and ladies had a blanket behind their chair with a spot for their purse. They also had live music adding to the ambiance. We did the four-course meal with appetizer, first, second, and dessert. Absolutely amazing food and service. I posted the food in my photos below read more

Service was great! Attentive and thoughtful. Ambiance was ultra classy and ok lighting and better than average acoustics. The ravioli were a little al dente--not unpleasantly so but just a hair undercooked. The stuffing was delicious with creamy cheese and chopped up spinach. The salmon was juicy with a perfectly seared top and tasted delicious. The veal was brought out undercooked but when it came back it was with the wait. Wow--was it great. It was tender and spiced prudentially to a delicious end. There was no crust, per se--but that did not detract from the taste. read more

Mirabelle is a very fancy award-winning restaurant in the Hotel Splendide Royale in Rome. The restaurant has an amazing view of Rome through its floor to ceiling glass windows and many of the tables are on the windows. We ate as part of a group and had a fixed 4 course menu. All of the items were unique, tasty, and well-plated. The food quality and presentation was top notch. Also, the service was very attentive even for a large group. If you go, understand that the price of entry right now is 110 euros for 2 courses, plus any wine or extras. For a very special night out, Mirabelle will fit the bill. read more

To start off this place has an amazing view of the city-instagram worthy pics for sure. Dress fancy- I wore a cotton dress and my husband wore khakis and a button down shirt and while we weren't underdressed, there were full length dresses and suits on most people. We were seated outside for our dinner, which was great. We were greeted promptly and service throughout the meal was great. We dhad pre-booked the 3 course menu, but I got the sense you could change once you got there. The menu included an appetizer, choice of a first or second course and dessert. The stand out for me was the carrot gnocchi ; it was one of the top 2 gnocchi I have ever had, the nuts on top made the dish. My husband had the octopus and while it was difficult to cut, it wasn't tough to eat. We opted to add some dishes for a total of 9 plates between 2 people, and it was the perfect amount of food. The meal was good, but not as stand out as some of the other pairings we have done. Wine pairing was great. read more

Great restaurant in Rome! It's a rooftop ambiance with a piano player. The staff is absolutely amazing! I was referred by my hotel. I ordered the first dish with the green spaghetti and I did not like it at all. I asked for something simple like regular spaghetti the Chef gets 10/10! It was soooooo delicious!!! Thanks for making my birthday weekend memorable. It is pricey about $150 per person but worth every $$ read more

Still an unbelievable view and courteous service. But, a few things were a bit off during my lunch today. The glass of champagne was the last one in the bottle, obviously left over from yesterday because my table was only the second one to arrive after they opened, and flat. The other wines by the glass I had with my meal were excellent. Usually the bread comes out piping hot, but not this time. It really is much better when warm. Expensive and not quite up to par today for the prices. read more

This view is amazing! They could cut corners on the food and service but this place delivers on all fronts! We saw 2 birthday parties and one engagement (she said yes!) so this is definitely a special occasion restaurant. Get there early enough to have a drink on the top deck, the Sky Bar. I should have taken more photos for my review but I was enjoying myself too much to think about photos! Yum! read more

Mirabelle is a hidden gem in Rome. This is hands down the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to, from the interior decor, to the food, to the view over looking the Vatican. We stopped for lunch and got the two course meal. The oysters were some of the best I'd ever had and had gold flecks on the shell for presentation. The tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms was flavorful and had a unique flavor profile with dried blueberries and dehydrated raspberry powder as garnishes. It paired very well together! My husband got the beef tartar and the beef tenderloin and he was happy with both as well. The entire wait staff was happy and very attentive. I am happy he found this place and if we come back to Rome we will definitely be coming back for another meal. read more

Visited for lunch. The patio is enclosed in glass which makes it more reasonable for those who are not fond of outdoor dining. We were given a prime table and the view was spectacular. We each did a 3-course full menu for lunch and the food was great. Some of the other reviews would have you thinking that this restaurant is all about the view and nothing else... make no mistake, this is fine dining and totally deserving of the Michelin award. read more

We were looking forward to dining here and celebrating a special occasion. However after making reservations two months in advance our table was in the worst possible location. The restaurant's appearance was dated with the feel of an old golf course clubhouse. View during the night was non existent. The service from the waiter was good. We should have left after the first course, soup and pasta was from a can. Main course could technically be called "food". I don't waste my time with writing reviews and would suggest not wasting your time or money with this one. It was only after we left we found our the Michelin rating was from 2017, about the same time the soup was canned. The restaurant is not associated with the hotel. read more

I could only think of the rigged Michelin star system as portrayed on the Netflix series "Emily in Paris." They are lucky to have a whole star. The only thing you are paying for here is the view which is nice if the host take care of you and get an outside table. Otherwise you're stuck inside which is not that impressive. Also despite the website stating: "gentlemen are requested to wear trousers and shirts. Shorts, men's sleeveless shirts and flip flops are not permitted in the restaurant during dinner." Yes it's hot in Rome in July but the clientele looked more ready to visit Disney World in Florida rather than a supposed classy establishment with a Michelin star. I went to the trouble of adhering to the dress code despite the heat - it felt more like an overpriced Olive Garden when I looked around. As for the food - we chose the 4 course a La carte. course 1 was a cous cous with a raw seafood platter. It was not bad. Maybe a 8 out of 10. Course 2 was a squid ink pasta with squid and octopus. 10/10 - was absolutely amazing and wish that's all I had was a larger portion. Course 3 (main) a beef filet that was ordered medium rare but came out medium well plus. After the long wait between courses I just ate it. Course 4 was a chocolate of some sort - cheated out of ice cream. And ordered order the soufflé but they were allegedly out. 7 of 10 since cheated of ice cream. 5/10 overall. Buyer beware. Do your research. I bet there are a lot other better Michelin ranked restaurants in Rome to choose from. read more

Perfect-- Ambiance, presentation , service & live music. I would like to recommend our server, Emmanuelle, who was very attentive, conversational, thorough, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you for this experience. I hope to return one day in the future! read more

Il Mirabelle - Oyster starter - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

My fiance and I dined at this restaurant on our first evening in Rome, on Friday May 24th. We had a horrible experience. The food was fine, but not great, and came out cold when we finally received it. The service however was terrible, except for one kind woman who helped us toward the end of our meal. The overall attitude the service personnel had toward my partner and I was disrespectful. Tables around us were sat after us and received their food and left before we had our orders even taken. We were looking forward to a great experience considering the reviews, but had the opposite of a great time. To make matters worse, the waiter at the end of the meal requested a tip and stood watching while we filled out our already overpriced bill. We will be telling friends to avoid the restaurant. We are very disappointed we paid $500 for such a terrible experience. The only nice thing about this restaurant was the view. read more

You pay for the view, but they don't give you the view. We were seated inside behind a pole even though there were 4 tables open outside along the window. They charge 20 per glass for their most inexpensive wine (online the same bottle costs 9 for the bottle) and the portions are small and not very good. At the end the busser fished for a tip. I've never felt more ripped off in my whole life. Underwhelming food, overpriced wine and cocktails, pushy rude servers and a busser who fished for a tip in a culture where tipping is not necessary. The absolute definition of a tourist trap and quite honestly, the worst I have ever felt leaving a restaurant. read more

This was our first restaurant we dined at when we visited Italy. It is located on the 10th floor (if I recall correctly??) of an opulent hotel. Guys, this place is gorgeous. Definitely dresses and slacks with button downs-- don't come in your street clothes or you will be embarrassed. Wait staff is in full suit and tie. The menu had multiple vegetarian options which was much appreciated. My husband got the pesto and thought it was great. I must warn my American brethren, they don't use salt and pepper when cooking so you will need to ask for table salt. I had the eggplant and it was pretty good. The atmosphere and view were spectacular! I would also recommend for a special occasion. read more

After planning an Amazing birthday party- the restaurant staff totally dropped the ball. The first five minutes went smotthly- and then it was as if they closed our side of the restaurant. We never received our Amuse Bouchè. My first plate was a risotto course- and it arrived cold, and shaped like a square hash brown. Definitely not what we expected. Cuisine was mediocre at best- and we all ordered the 2nd main course of Lobster. It was served cold style and in a salad. More of a luncheon dish and Hardly worth the extra supplement of an additional 30 Euros. We don't mind paying $250 per person for a dinner, but we should leave full and feeling like we were pampered. Neither happened this evening. Our wine sommelier was not very helpful. We had no budget and we each enjoy white and red wines. Typically we order 4 bottles at the minimum- but there was not a chance to order more. We ended up pouring our own wines ourselves and constantly needed to beg for water all night long. Definitely our table of 6 was forgotten about. Typically a good manager roams the restaurant checking on the guests. Not here. Tables around us seemed ignored and looking for service as well. We did notice the outdoor patio tables getting much more attentive service. It's also the smoking section so be warned if you don't like to inhale constant cigarette smoke throughout your meal. Everyone was smoking on the outside patio. I did eventually summon the manager aside in private , and I conveyed to him that I was embarrassed in front of my esteemed guests - who were expecting a decadent Michelin experience. They even forgot the fancy cake that I had special ordered in advance. In the end- the busser who serves the bread and replaces the silverware became our only waiter- and the rest of the restaurant staff began to break down tables, chat amongst themselves and clean up as if the place was closed. The most unwelcome feeling when you are sitting around with your dirty plates and waiting to order more wine, coffee and celebrate with a non existent Birthday cake. My husband had to basically stay behind to settle the bill. He had to actually get up and go find someone to pay. That was doubly insulting. All of our party guests went back to their rooms and not one said that they enjoyed the meal. Only the view. Lesson learned $1400 dollars later. Management knew we left unsatisfied but no one from the hotel followed up with us the rest of our stay. Positive Note: The Bar on The 8th Floor is Amazing. Ask for the bartender Michelangelo. He makes a stellar Pisco Sour. We tipped him $20 Euros each round, he is fantastic and one of the best bartenders I've had in Rome. They serve luxury chocolates with the fine Brandy selection. You won't be disappointed. read more

So I can tell they have an issue trying to be a luxury restaurant but they get criticism for turning away poorly dressed Americans. My experience was the opposite. While awaiting our room we went up for a snack. Others were presented a bar menu as they were attired in flip flops, shorts and tee shirts while talking loudly on their phones, but we were only given the full menu option. It's quite expensive and fine for dinner but the bar menu would have been preferable as we were just waiting to settle into rooms. My takeaway is that they need to decide who they are. Either let in the sloppily dressed and go casual or maintain some standards. But you cannot have it both ways. read more

We made reservations here for our anniversary here mainly because of the gorgeous view. Hands down alone if I was to just rate the view it'd be a 4* review. However as an over all restaurant it's pretty mediocre. My husband I frequent a ton of Michelin star restaurants in the states and we usually walk a way very impressed. However the dinner here did not blow us away nor was it very memorable. Usually fine dining offers an amuse bouche and other tiny Chef's bites. They did this only at the dessert course and I already selected dessert as part of our 4 course dinner. Their wine list is very extensive from what my husband said but since I dont drink he didn't bother to get a bottle (which he said started at $100 a bottle.) He just got a martini instead and I had a mocktail. I would say come here if the view is the main goal but if you're a foodie this would be a pass. read more

Terrible service, Terrible food and Terrible price. Ambiance is nice with great views but if only they seat you at the right location; otherwise, they will place you at the bad location even though the restaurant is not fully seated. read more

The evening began with a pretentious and rude greeting. (No "Good evening and welcome." Instead, a surly "You must leave your table by 9pm.") It ended with the service of a nice but overworked and rattled waiter dropping dirty silverware on my shirt. This place is a mess. The view is fantastic and the food -- when the kitchen eventually got something to the table -- was good. The rest of the experience was so bad, it was almost (not quite) funny. It was 45 minutes between courses (A kitchen meltdown?), no wine service after first 30 minutes, pounding DJ techno music from an upstairs bar, the remarkably rude hostess, and wait staff on the floor wandering around and hiding because they didn't know what to do about the collapse. This seems to be a place hanging on to its past reputation while struggling with serious service and management issues today. You can do far better finding a great meal and view at a fraction of the price elsewhere in Rome. read more

I had high expectations for this place. But it was over priced and the service was average. We spent 3 hours there. My main entree cod was very undercooked.

View was nice, one of the only good thing about this place. Asked for the tuna and it came out still flopping and with a heartbeat (not literally but it felt like it). Service was ok, cut up my food so it looked like I ate it and he came over and hovered over us with a hairy eyeball. I don't personally care about the dress code but saw people arguing with the waiter over their relative not being allowed in because he had shorts on (would like to say dress code is pretty clear though). Wouldn't recommend. read more

SEEK ELSEWHERE We had a horrible experience at Mirabella. It started off not bad - the views were good and the risotto was great. We picked and had a terrific first bottle of wine. We had asked to get a second and a sommelier had come over. He strongly suggested and urged for a second bottle and so we went splurged and went for it. A few minutes later, he came over and whispered in my ear that we had "agreed" to a different bottle of wine that was twice the price. Highly perplexed and not wanting to disappoint the table (and overly trusting), I agreed. He poured a yellow substance into my glass, I smelled an off-smell and took a small sip and he immediately blurted out that it was wine near a volcano. I wasn't familiar and so agreed that it was drinkable. Soon after, we all agreed it was worse than the cheapest gas station wine. Honestly, I feel like the sommelier was ditching some horrible, expensive bottle of wine they couldn't sell. I feel highly slighted and wouldn't tell the person below my worst enemy to go here. Avoid at all costs. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant whatsoever. It's hard to believe that in 2017 they actually received a Michelin star. From the time we arrived till the time we left it was disappointment after disappointment. I didn't even take a single photo as the food was so mediocre. From the bread to the desert it was a complete waste of time and money. €200 for two glasses of wine one pasta and one fish. Nobody ever came by to ask us how her meal was. After 40 minutes we had to find someone to see if we could place a drink order. You'd be better off going to McDonald's. At least you wouldn't feel taken advantage of and you would be full. Service was so bad and you can see that from the top to the bottom there are clear management issues. Tried to speak to a few people and there was no sincere apology or acknowledgment of our disappointing service. read more

The views are fantastic, but that is where the "wow" stopped for me. Service was so-so, we asked if we wanted a dessert when we already had ordered a dessert. We had multiple waiters throughout the service. Never was offered coffee or tea which we wanted. The food was overall bland and salty. All three people left a €500 dinner wanting to go to some pizzeria for a second dinner. I had high hopes for this places, but they didn't deliver. I would guess they are trying for a Michelin star, but let me say this they have a lot of work to do before I would say they are even worth of a single star. read more

Save yourself some money and time. 5 star? No way. Don't dine here. To start the food is mediocre at best. We have dined at better street ristorantes in Rome by chance. But more so than the food, the service here is the worst. We asked for a terrace view since the best thing about this place is the scenic rooftop view and were told it is completely booked. An hour into our bread service we saw 2 empty tables on the terrace that were not seated and inquired why we were not seated there. So they moved us and we were now seated where we should have been seated an hour ago. Fast forward 1 hour and 30 mins later we had not been served the main course! We waited patiently till we could not wait anymore and asked where our food was. They told us 5 min. Food came and it was cold, with no flavor. What a terrible experience for our first dinner in Rome. On a positive note, wine was good and it could only get better than this. Don't come here! read more

The Mirabelle was a great culinary experience with even better views. The hotel and top floor restaurant were truly amazing. Every course at the restaurant was so unique and flavorful.

We left almost immediately after a month long reservation. My wife and I indicated on our reservation that it was our honeymoon and we'd love a table outside, one month prior to our reservation. When we arrived we were seated inside behind the pole/waiter station (picture attached) and when we asked if there was something outside on their EMPTY terrace the waiter said the bookings were full. Less than 3 minutes later a man & woman couple sat next to us inside but then asked to sit outside (just like we asked) and they were escorted to an empty table outside. I then approached the hostess to ask if we could also be seated outside for 2 and she said that the only reason THEY got to sit outside was because of a reservation that just cancelled and she would let us know if another cancelled so we could move. After I sat back down, we were never addressed with another waiter/waitress so we got up and left. The hostess turned her head and avoided us as we exited to avoid us completely. Unprofessional. Obviously discrimination against same sex couples. Disappointing since it was very empty there and clearly they need business. read more

This is Italy at it's best. A wonderful experience seated on the terrace with a view of the Vatican. Expect to spend money that is well worth the experience. We had a relaxing 5 course meal. The risotto was amazing! The carpaccio was amazing! The cocktails, sommelier, main course, dessert, service, ...OUTSTANDING! From taking the private elevator to the top floor where you are greeted by the stylish maitre d - what feels like - Italian royalty. As always, you are never rushed by Europeans as we enjoyed watching the sunset during our 4 hour luxury experience. Also, the ambience is very romantic. There is a strict dress code and we dropped $600 USD - worth it! read more

Save your money. This is not the experience you think you are getting unless you like RUDE wait staff and cold food with little to no taste. We want our time and money back as this was a HUGE mistake. The concierge at the Westin suggested it and he should lose his job over such a poor recommendation. The prices are not on the menu. We don't have any problem dropping serious cash for a seriously good meal and experience. For 4 people, no starters or dessert, the bill was 560 euro. We suspect they charged us more because we are not Italian. The icing on the horrible cake was the disappointment of having to go to the "cashier" to pay our check. There are other places in Rome to dine with a view. Skip this one. read more
