There are many restaurants in the Roma Termini area that cater to tourists. Massing D'Azeglio is not one of them. This is a fine dining restaurant that requires reservation. We walked in on Xmas Eve and was told we had to wait... while the wait was long, they kept us informed and gave us a decent table at the end. Several waiters served us - all polite and helpful. Food was excellent! Pastas are delicious and unique- highly recommend their gnocchi! The Beef Tartare was excellent! Likely one of the best we had in a long time. The waiter mix all the ingredients right in front of us at our desk side. The Branzino was nicely done too; and the waiter deboned the entire fish for us. Ambiance is warm and cozy - tables are pretty close together but noise level was not too high. read more

The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere and the train and Subway station is a block away. The hotel staff will bend over backwards for you. The breakfast is phenomenal. The rooms they're not bad ,they are very clean here. There is no air conditioner, but it's Europe you open the window at night, There's a nice breeze. The restaurant inside the hotel is magnificent again the staff is amazing. It's a great hotel for the location and it's money you can't go wrong . read more

I should have listened to other reviews, but it was a hot evening and this place has good air-conditioning. The food is mediocre, but the real problem is the service. The maitre d' is friendly, but all of the servers are angry. It's like a restaurant staffed by Ryan AIr flight attendants. It wasn't just me: I watched them interact this way with everyone. I regret squandering one of my chances to eat dinner in Rome on this place. The second star is for the air conditioning, which was fine. But I recommend you tolerate the heat for better food and, especially, servers that don't seem like they hate life. read more

I did appreciate the complementary prosecco to open lunch. When in Rome... We didn't choose to eat at this hotel restaurant. Desperation did. The Hanger was real. But the proseco lightened things up a bit and when I spotted a dish I'd been anxious to devour, cacio e pepe, it was on like Donkey Kong. Our kid had her umpteenth pizza and the wife went with the ol' clams and linguini move. She'd later report some disappointment. We were impressed with the bathrooms downstairs and I really appreciated their attention to al dente detail. Big crackles of black pepper and smooth cheese snuggled into my loins and I was finally there. Rome. I didn't want to leave, even if I'd hoped for a better choice for lunch. read more

Massimo D'Azeglio - Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

With the exception of encountering a harder than usual mattress, our five night stay at Massimo D' Azeglio was really good. A slightly older hotel for some reason (though not terribly old), the hotel staff made up for it be providing prompt & polite customer service, and coming to our assistance when the the time required it (directions, etc). First off, the location. The hotel is located within a block of Termini Station, which is a major convenience. While there are transportation options from Leonardo da Vinci airport in Fiumicino, I was surprised at how close the hotel actually was to Termini Station. Literally a two minute walk away. The descriptions that I was given by airport transportation staff was that you would have to walk 1-2 kilometers from Termini to reach the hotel. Hardly the case. Further, the hotel is located on a major roadway known as Via Cavour, meaning that you can walk to a great many sites heading westbound into the center of the city. We were able to walk to such sites such as The Colisseum, Trevi Fountain, and Circus Maximus without any problem whatsoever. Second, the staff. The first thing that you may notice is that the bellman/security guard seems to be always outside greeting guests. Its cool to see the staff dressed professionally (uniforms), as if its a throwback to the old days of hotel hospitality. Not only that, but they were just so genuinely nice, be it the bartender, front desk staff, morning breakfast staff, and evening restaurant staff. Third, the room. My expectations of the room were that it would be on the smaller side of things, and I wasn't really all that disappointed. It was small to my standard, but that's just Europe. We were on one of the top floors, just above one of the flag poles. I didn't have much of a view (other than other hotel buildings),yet it was decent. The only place to put clothes in was the within the drawers within the desk. No dresser bureau, yet I think that its because of the size of the room. As aforementioned earlier, the bed's mattress was super firm, yet the hotel did its best to accommodate us by placing a softer mattress pad on top. It made a slight difference, so we didn't switch out of rooms. Fourth, the breakfast/restaurant experience. Breakfast was included within the rate, and had a pretty good assortment of choices, to include gluten free servings on a back table. From healthy choices to the non-healthy ones (doughnuts, bacon), breakfast here is an absolute must at Massimo D' Azeglio. The restaurant also was better than expected. While it offers a dinner buffet that may be twenty Euros, the three and four course meal choices were fantastic & palatable, along with the customer service (thank you, Sebastiano). Altogether, I would certainly stay here once again. read more

The perfect balance of old world charm and modern convenience. Clean, elegant, and a morning buffet that is broad in variety and delicious. Easily accessible to the Termini Station. The restaurant has a lovely selection of traditional dishes. Near all the tour busses and within walking distance of some amazing sites. On a personal note, the concierge, Gabriel, and the hotel manager were incredibly helpful finding us a room at the LAST minute after a booking fiasco at another hotel in a less reputable part of town. They went out of their way offering fabulous accommodations, suggestions for local restaurants and areas to see. THANK YOU! read more

The menu posted outside the door mentioned a buffet available for lunch or dinner. We entered at approximately 7:15 p.m. the buffet items consisted of fish fillets, seafood salad, and chicken prepared. I had more vegetables in one sitting than at other restaurants in Rome. The desserts were amazing and included in the fixed price of 19 euro. A great value and staff so friendly. read more

Massimo D'Azeglio - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

After a disappointing encounter atop the Mediterraneo hotel (somehow that reads like I was having lunch with Superman), I decided that my first dinner away from my Globus tour would be someplace better. Finding a good restaurant in walking distance from any hotel in Room can be a difficult task given the saturation of gelaterias, cafes, and pizzerias. I had no cell service so lacked immediate access to Trip Advisor, making it impossible to differentiate the seedy from the sublime. I wandered within walking distance of my hotel for over an hour but nothing stirred me. I didn't want pizza; I wanted a full course meal, and oddly enough, my ultimate choice was next door to where I started, the Ristorante Massimo d'Azeglio, another hotel's restaurant. Alas, for those on the Globus tour, you may never know that a great restaurant sits only a few feet from your room. And for those of you with an attention span shorter than a ferret on a double expresso, you can stop reading here and move on--the Ristorante Massimo d'Azeglio is really good. Somewhat anti-climactic really. For everyone else, you may have read or been told that many restaurants in Rome charge you for water, ambience, bread, seating, service, and apparently being in Rome, penny pinching at every opportunity. In defense, I did encounter this early in my journey. This evening, I decided I wasn't going to stress myself about such things and ignore the coming bill. I didn't concern myself when the bread basket was presented or a glass of wine poured without asking. They even replaced the bread basket after I cleared it out. I ordered the chef's suggestion menu, tagliatelle with lemon sauce, beef carpaccio, and each plate prepared by the table. An uncut lemon halved, seeds plucked out, and then spiked with a fork before drizzled over the beef--it was as much theater as food. Even the dessert was a visible menu, with the tray wheeled to my side allowing me to select from the available cakes. I'm not saying the meal was perfect--there appears to be an aversion to offer a bill, and this was not the only time this happened on my trip. With Massimo, I had to wait twenty minutes, and ended up asking two different people before it was finally delivered. Here was where the experience fell into the bizarre. The menu I had ordered from promised the Chef Suggestion for 35 Euros. The final price adding in water, bread, and wine, (pause for drumroll) 35 euros. That's right, not a single dime added for the service and compliments. I suddenly felt bad for being on the defensive the two previous days in Rome. Although Massimo had no way of knowing, I was overcome by an overwhelming desire to leave a significant tip. After two lackluster first meals in Rome, Massimo was a much needed jolt to my expectations. Some restaurants don't phone it in, surfing the reputation of the country. Some places earn their praise.

Very nice, elegant hotel and restaurant. We stayed here for a week in May of 2010. Friendly staff, clean rooms. The restaurant was a bit snobby, but the food was great. read more

People at the front desk have bad attitudes. I may aid take and had them exchange American money for Euro's. They got me good. I shouldn't have let them get away with it but I was in hurry and didn't want to make s scene. Rooms are clean but small. Wifi would not work. Front desk people seem to have attitudes and are not accommodating. If I were you, I would take my business elsewhere. read more

Awful and overpriced. Far walk from everything except the train station. Breakfast is a joke. The a/c in the rooms did not work...when asked the front desk to look into it he said open the window. We cut our time short here because of this place. Lastly the WiFi is extremely slow and cuts on and off. Very disappointing for over 100 euros a night read more

We stayed at the Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio in Rome for one day in March 2014 after our cruise. We picked this hotel because it was one short block away from the main train station. Our room was on the 5th floor, facing the main street. The room was somewhat small with no place to lay two suitcases flat comparing to the other hotel which we had stayed before the cruise. (That hotel was about 10 blocks away which had a cod beside the queen-size bed for the two of us.) Internet was slow but free. The mattress was hard. The small area rug by the bed near window was half-faded. Our room was stuffy to the point where we had to endure the noisy traffic and leave the window open throughout the entire time. We did not take advantage of the free breakfast because we left the hotel early for our train to the airport. read more

We came here by accident, because we wanted to find a restaurant reasonably close to our hotel, and this restaurant was a real surprise. The food is exceptional, and the service attention to detail is very very good. We were greeted with a glass of complimentary Prosecco, and all of the plating of food and general service is done tableside - which adds an element of drama to the dining experience. We are still in run, and intend to go back to this restaurant before we leave the city in a few days. My husband and I had and antipasti plate, and I had the house risotto which was very very very good, as 90% of restaurants just can't seem to get a risotto cooked correctly. We also had dessert from the cart they bring to the table so you can point to the items you'd like, which also has an element of novelty about it. In all, this was a very enjoyable experience and while it may not be one of the most prestigious restaurants in Rome, dinners will not find themselves disappointed. read more

This is an old hotel with very hard beds. Internet doesn't work in every room. Don't stay here if you can help it.
