Vinea is so far off the beaten path for your typical tourist of Rome that the chef and owner came…read moreout to ask me how I found them. It was about a 20 minute taxi ride from the center of the city in a suburb, but it was worth the drive. The decor reminded me of a cute apartment. The food and service were impeccable. Since no one spoke English except the chef, she ended up being our server, which was pretty awesome. I opted for the tasting menu so I won't speak to the particular dishes as they will most likely be different than someone else's experience. Each dish was expertly plated with the chef coming to tell us what we were eating. The wine menu was also pretty phenomenal. One of the best dining experiences we had in the city and loved that it lacked the touristy element of the other places I visited in the inner city.

Vinea, locale situato in via Conca d’Oro, in zona Montesacro nella parte nord della capitale, è un delizioso ristorante che si distingue per l’atmosfera, per gli arredi che uniscono elementi di vario genere e per forte senso di accoglienza che si respira non appena si varca la soglia d’entrata. L’importante spazio dedicato al vino, alcune superfici in marmo e la mise en place informale ma curata donano a questo posto un carattere unico.

Everything about the experience was superb--from the attentive and friendly service to the exceptional quality of the food.

Well here is what for me was an eye opener in the pizza department, fresh made by a really friendly guy who even gave us free arancini to try.

Pro tip- try the potato ball fritters , they are really good, spicy and with a melted cheese center, oh my!

Waitress approached us within five minutes asking if we were ready to order. We ordered wine and other drinks and before they were delivered we were asked twice more within five to ten minutes if we were ready to order. Food wise: caprese was fine, bruschetta also ok, pastas good. Sliced beef with artichokes was disgusting, as was the lamb which we only received after the other three diners had finished and we pointed out it hadn't been served. Maybe this place was good in the past, based on previous reviews, but it is terrible now.
