My husband and I had a memorable lunch at this welcoming and superb restaurant. It was our last…read moreday in Rome and since we wanted seafood, we thought that a Sardinian restaurant would be a good choice. Lucky us to have chosen Eleonora d'Arborea. Located in an outer neighborhood (you can take a bus from Pizazza Venezia to within a couple of blocks of the restaurant), we had a late reservation but entered to find the comfortable main rooms still active and lively. When our waiter realized we spoke English, he sought out the owner who helped us navigate the large menu of choices and with his encouragement, we made a meal of primarily the restaurant's starters. We had crudos and tartares, raw clams, and plates of fish and vegetables. The food was extraordinary. Probably the best seafood I've ever had, and I grew up on the New England coast and now live in NYC -- I think I know fish. We also enjoyed a delicious Sardinian wine and ended the meal with the owner's treat of two small glasses of a strawberry liqueur, house-made. Our only regret was that it was our last day in Rome and couldn't return to try more things on the menu. We appreciated the restaurant's friendliness, helpful service, and most of all, the superb fish and shellfish. If I can't travel to Sardinia, I can only hope to return soon to Rome so we can eat at Eleonara d'Arborea again.

Arrived with great anticipation for dinner at this restaurant we love and have enjoyed three years…read morerunning. It was clear from the moment that we arrived that just about everything had changed; the staff, the management, the ambiance, and most of all the menu. Gone was the Sardinian family, the raffish atmoshere, and the extensive and superb seafood menu. Through the gracious staff tried to accommodate us, and assure us that the now weighty menu would satisfy, and indeed some dishes were quite delicious, especially the Insalata di Mare and the Spaghetti alla Vernaccia. The Rombo con Patate of last year (see photo) was nothing short of a disaster. I will not describe it further. We left the plate, got our bill and took our car back to our hotel. The one constant in life is that everything changes, and I guess that's true here too. Peccato...

The people I was with got lobster linguini (which was pretty good!) and the trout with potatoes which was yummy. They definitely have some heavy dishes but it's very easy to eat lighter here and still feel satisfied which is always good! I also got some fruit for dessert which was so fresh and sweet! I've heard great things about letting the owner chose your meal for you, so I hope to come back and do that one day. Went again tonight and had some incredible raw fish!!

Almost everything we ordered, and we ordered the most expensive items, was bad. This is very surprising, considering food is generally good in Italy. For 130 euros for two it was horrible, just horrible. Do not eat here
