As we ventured through the side streets, we stumbled upon this little gem…read more From the bread and appetizers and right on through dessert, every dish was fresh, aesthetically pleasing to the eye and most of all molto bueno! The real VIP dish of the night was the tiramisu. I don't eat tiramisu as I've never had a good one. Our waiter Alex assembled the tiramisu table side. Honestly, it really didn't need the hype. With fresh mascarpone,espresso and cacao flakes, it really was a great tasting dessert AND we hope to get back there one last time before we leave. Yes it was that good! We were able to get seated quickly as we got there around 6:30-7pm. Most people started filing in after that. A gentleman started playing music on an accordion and then a drummer met him. He does play for tips. It was a nice touch. A man with huge long stemmed red roses began working the crowd too. I'd say this would be considered fine dining. C'iao!

We ordered a shrimp salad that was so simple, refreshing and beautifully plated and colorful (from heirloom tomatoes). I'd say this is one of the best salads we've had ever because of the quality of the veggies and shrimp. A few steps down the alley, we had gelato (pistacchio and gianduja) at their other location.

Supplizio came at the recommendation of one of our good family friends as a highlight of the food…read morescene in Roma. Since we had a relatively loose itinerary when it came to food (actually for everything), we thought it would be a good idea to grab lunch here after checking out the Vatican City. That being said, we made our way over after a morning of museum explorations. As suggested by the name, Supplizio specializes in suppli - a Roman street food consisting of fried balls of risotto paired with some combination of sauce and cheese. They're very similar to arancini, which are fried balls of rice that originated in Sicily. Walking in we were greeted by a small seating area with the ordering counter in the back. Since it was relatively quiet we decided to sit and eat - the decor was kind of eclectic with a mix of couches and chairs paired with dark woods. The star of the menu was suppli in a variety of flavors - five to be exact. We wanted to go all in, so we ordered one of each: classico (meat, tomato, mozz, parm), cacio e pepe, amatricana, pomodoro & mozz, and carbonara. The mozzarella in carrozza was speaking to us as well so we ordered that too. Even though we ordered at the counter, the food was served to us which I thought was a nice touch. The suppli were great - though they were fried, they were not too heavy and the variety of flavors were prominent without being overpowering; it was really good stuff. The mozzarella in carrozza exceeded by expectations - in the US this is usually a greasy dish prepared with white bread and served with marinara sauce. However, here at Supplizio it wasn't greasy at all - and prepared with Italian bread which was thicker and better able to withstand being deep-fried. The mozz was also delicious and honestly we didn't even need marinara - straight in. Service was good, the employees were friendly and we were served promptly. Overall, Supplizio was definitely a highlight of our Roma food explorations and I would recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

I got the Lamb with potatoes and I felt as thought it was boiled, sent it back and she understood, I was so scared that they would be upset but no issue! She brought meatballs and veal back (we order 2 lamb plates with potatoes so two meals to replace) and the veal was alright, meatballs were... okay, definitely not like expected meatballs but I still ate them. After the dinner she came with a lemon sorbet for the family which really helped the rating of the place. She was a really sweet lady with shorter hair, spoke very well in English, and was very hospitable. She was what made us like the restaurant other than the obvious wine ambience.
