Each course was a revelation--bold, unexpected, and beautifully executed. The starters alone were a gastronomic journey: silky pâté paired with cherries, zucchini infused with coffee--each bite thoughtfully layered with flavor and technique. The pasta with smoked pork and fig was rich and elegant, and the steak, cooked to perfection, melted in the mouth alongside a velvety sweet potato purée. Every dish was paired with a carefully selected wine, enhancing each flavor and showing the team's mastery of balance and depth. We asked so many questions throughout the evening--curious about the ingredients, the preparation, and the wine--and the staff couldn't have been more thoughtful or enthusiastic in sharing their knowledge. Their passion turned our meal into an education, and their kindness made it even more special. This wasn't just a meal--it was pure art. If you love food that surprises, delights, and inspires, Retrobottega is not to be missed.

Expect to be in the €30 range for a cocktail but it will arrive with some snacks (olives, those round cracker things, etc). You can get sandwiches or salads too if you're hungry. I was plenty happy with a very nice glass of champagne and the company of my fellow travelers. People watching - epic.

The pasta dishes were genuinely very good, but the chicken was chewy and disappointing for a restaurant at this level. The portions overall were also quite small for the price point. The desserts were underwhelming and forgettable as well. What stood out most was the inconsistency in service. The staff was noticeably more attentive to the table next to us - thoroughly explaining the menu and each dish, engaging with them throughout the meal, and even clearing and resetting their table carefully between courses. We did not receive the same level of attention or hospitality, which made the experience feel unwelcoming and disappointing, especially considering the cost. Overall, the food and service simply did not justify the price. We left feeling underwhelmed and would not return or recommend.

We were warmly greeted and taken upstairs to the terrace - beautiful, cozy, tree-lined and with heaters when the temperatures dropped. Everything was delicious. Italian cuisine with a modern twist.

It was not on the menu but we ordered one to split as an appetizer. (see photo). Each morsel was amazing! We had pasta as a main course (of course!) and they were fantastic! The desserts were creative and delicious. It was a great evening! The terrace was busy but not crowded. People were talkative but you can still carry on a conversation without yelling.

I thought the all gray, minimalistic design of the restaurant was very interesting. It made for a unique dining experience.

My friends all enjoyed what they ordered. One of my friends is vegetarian so there are vegetarian options here. The service was superb. They lady with the short hair was attentive and patient. She explained everything on the menu and answered all of our questions. She recommended a wine and even told us a little bit about the wine. Very helpful and knowledgable! While we were waiting for our food, she kindly brought us some suppli to try. Such great service and food. It was truly an experience!

I tried to call the next day for that night same thing! So f' it we went for a Sunday dinner which they had availability. 3 times a charm right? The chef had a Michelin star south of Rome before he left the country to do time in London and Mumbai. After a handful of years of hiatus, he came back into the city to open the same namesake restaurant of the former countryside in Prati. They're only two and a half weeks old but the food cognoscenti are starting to figure it out. The space used to be a bar so it already had a kitchen buildout but the space has been renovated to be sleek and modern with some traditional touches here and there. It's fairly minimalist and the colors are very clean. Beautiful modern wood tables still get a traditional table cloth setting. When we were seated we were asked how we knew a out the place and when we told them about the recommendation, they were super happy to hear. There are a large amount of a la carte courses which to choose from or you can do a 5 and 7 course degustation. We told chef he should just cook for us and the surprise was part of the fun. Around seven courses came out with some bonuses; all delicious. The play on the Lazio countryside recipes, modernized were all wonderful. At this rate I think theyre getting at least a Michelin star this year. I went to a one star last year in the area and felt it was nowhere near the meal i had here, especially for a place not even open for three weeks! I guess the old restaurant was famous for their spaghettone with coppiette which I was sad not to get. We however we did say just cook for us, so it's no one's fault except for my own. I guess ill just have to return to have it...
