Directly across the street from the Opera house, so before or after a performance you are able to get a delicious meal and drink. They play live music on the weekends, the seating inside their dining room & bar is lovely. If you'd prefer to sit outside, they do have electric heaters if it gets too chilly. The night we arrived they had a saxophonists playing and the music was beautiful. Luca, was a great server and delivered excellent service. The mussels with white wine is an enjoyable snack or a great beginner to your main. I enjoyed a nightcap after my food, a Negroni and my mother enjoyed an exceptional Espresso Martini. The chef, bartenders and staff know what they are doing. We even went twice on our trip and are talking about returning next year.

I walked here with my friend for lunch when we were staying at the hive hotel in Rome. Our server was so sweet. We ordered our Aperol spritzes and when they arrived, we did a toast, tapped the glasses together and both of the glasses broke! Our server came over and handled the situation quickly and was very kind. Another server brought us two new Aperol spritzes. We felt so bad about that but both servers were very kind. We both enjoyed our food very much. I would definitely return! read more

Came here and it was fairly empty on a Monday. Really loved the intimate environment and I thought the food was really good. Seafood Risotto - Flavor was on point and this was a solid dish. (4.5/5) Fettuccine with Meat Sauce - Pasta tasted fresh and the sauce was flavorful. (4.5/5) Moscow mule - Well made, and came the mule mug. I liked it! (4.5/5) Overall this spot surprised me. Came in with low expectations but was surprised by the great service and food was delicious. Total came out to be about 58 Euros which I felt was very reasonable for what I got. Would recommend if you're in the area. read more

We came here twice during our stay. Once during lunchtime where we were one of a few tables. Service was excellent by Ali. We ordered the octopus salad, prawns salad and sea bass roasted with thin potatoes. Everything was delicious, good portions a little pricy but good. The second time we came here for dinner. This time the restaurant was packed. It had a vibrant ambiance at the terrace. Initially we sat inside, we had a different server this time and the whole experience was different. First, we ordered two glasses of Chardonnay. She brought the bottle to us to pour the wine. The color of the wine didn't seem right so I asked to checked for the bottle and it didn't say Chardonnay anywhere. She blatantly lied to us so at that point we left the place. As we are walking out, Ali saw us and asked us to stay. Again there experience was different. We ordered the octopus salad and the sea bass. Everything was delicious but portions seemed smaller. They had live music so we had caipirinhas after the food. The ambiance was very lively and fun. read more

It really pains me to give this rating. We visited OperArt last night for late night wine and dessert and it was wonderful. Aly, our waiter was kind and service was great. The ambience with live music (jazz) made our night so much more enjoyable so we came back tonight for a second time to try dinner, expecting the same, wonderful experience. Dinner was steep and very disappointing. We ordered a Florentine steak which came out to €63 just for the steak, which would have been fine if it tasted like €63 steak. The steak was especially fatty so we had to cut out at least 25% of it so what was left on our plate after eating was 250g of large, chunks of fat and tendon which was inedible. On top of that, when our waiter was preparing the sizzling steak table side, he managed to drop the bone on the ground after cutting 85% of the meat off. If this steak was €25 fine, no big deal but at €63, I expected to eat every gram of this meat up until the bone so that was very disappointing when the bill came and I noticed the steak at full price when part of it did not make it onto my plate. We also ordered a side of grilled vegetables which seemed to be forgotten after reminding the waiter after our steak arrived. We were halfway through the meat before the vegetables came. We expected them to be hot since I assumed they forgotten so had to fire real quickly but to my dismay, they were not even warm. They tasted fine but would have been nice if they were at least warm but they came cold. I'm not sure if that's just how they serve grilled veggies here but most places grilled items are generally hot. This was so disappointing that our vegetables weren't even executed properly that night. The chocolate molten lava cake I ordered and loved last night came tonight, partially hot and partially cold and congealed in the center. I did not want to post the video because it was embarrassing how it looked. We were hoping to get a video of the hot melted chocolate goodness oozing out, only to be met with a semi hard, congealed blob of chocolate in the middle. All and all, tonight's experience was so disappointing. I do think there are redeeming factors of this restaurant and the food but tonight's meal was very difficult to swallow. We were expecting to pay $$$ because we were expecting 5 star food but we instead, left feeling duped of our money. Others may have had a different experience but unfortunately that was ours tonight. We will not be retuning for a 3rd time. read more

I ordered the l'amitriciana and it was pretty good ! A big portion that made me super full afterwards. My aunt ordered the lobster linguine and the lobster had a lot of meat (FYI u need to crack it yourself). For dessert we had tiramisu. The tiramisu looked questionable but it ended up tasting pretty good as well. Server was nice and understood English, also very attentive and brought us more bread when we asked. We sat outside and we liked that there was someone playing live music, also the music was at a perfect noise level. read more

This is a fishy and smelly place and they posted fake working hours on Yelp. We arrived at 10:40pm and they told us they are closed. Then why you posted a closing time of midnight? As a tourist, we trusted your post and travelled all the way there. Anyhow, the dining environment is terrible. You basically sitting by a giant fish market with those fishy smell coming waves by waves. You will lose your appetite for sure. There are plenty of places worth to go in Rome and avoid this one. read more

Meat the Hotel Sonya, this was a great place to have a delightful lunch, street side. Order the zucchini blossoms and the Cutting Board (meat and cheese). Also, the bottle of Chardonnay (€38) and cheese ravioli was just awesome. In the evenings, they have live music (sax player). Everything you would look for in Rome. read more

Lovely food & atmosphere... The staff works together to provide excellent service... Try the baked potatoes read more

From outside, the place looks typical of Rome, but once you start interacting with everyone that works there you notice that the service and the food is different, is better. They had lived saxophone music the Saturday we had dinner and we had the luck to be served by Rinaldo. They went beyond our expectations and so far after 7 days in Italy (Florence, Venice, Rome, Bologna and other cities) that was the best culinary experience and the best service. Great food and service! read more

Our first dinner in Rome. Restaurant was lovely. Staff were inviting and welcome us in. Positive - my dinner was delicious. Pasta Pomodoro. Simple yet perfect. However the server started off by saying he expects a great tip from us at the end of dinner. My cousin ordered the lobster pasta dish. The lobster was so dry and overcooked. Almost inedible. The server ignored our concern and offered no resolution. In fact his response was "nobody else has ever complained." We asked for the check and he kept pushing us for dessert and limoncello. We might have considered it but it took almost thirty minutes to get the server to acknowledge us and return to our table to check on our meal. Appetizer has not good either. Tomatoes were green and had no flavor. He was a true reflection that some servers do not care about your experience because they get paid the same either way. read more

The food was super and ther service was horrible. There was a waitress with really short hair in a ponytail. And she was rude . Extremely rude. She glare at my table the whole time serving my table. And threw utensils on the table. And she said word for word "she wasn't and didn't want to serve us." I called to inform a manager of this treatment and his response was " oh well so what". When I tried to write a direct review the reviews were disabled. The waitress was rude because I am black. Horrible food,horrible service, horrible management. read more

First of all the place is awesome, the staff is really helpfull and kind. We were there twice. First time on lunch. We ate carbonara pasta and octopus salad. Everything was really tasty. The ingredients were from the highest level but the pasta was too salty. Wines are delicious but quite expensive. The second time was for valentine's evening. We decided to go there because it was the prettiest restaurant with the best waiters we've been until that day. Wery big plus for live music. For dinner we ate zucchini blossoms cheese carbonara(nice zucchini but needlessly added cheese around it. Thus it was to heavy) and bucatini with amatriciana sauce (tasty but nit stunning). We also ordered a spinach salad. Despite l'am a spinach lover it was too much spinach comparing to other ingredients. Wine was perfect as last time. read more

Dishonest server on second visit !!!! I only give this place two stars because a server was dishonest. We went back because of an excellent experience but on the second visit the server tried to ask for cash payment because it is better for him or to add 15% gratuity to credit card when we know it is already included in Italy . We are not dumb Americans!!!!!! read more

Second night in Rome. It was close to our hotel. We decided to try it out. There was live music. A decent crowd inside. The service was good. The waiter was very accommodating. The food was seasoned, unlike some of our other experiences in town, and that was a plus. They served some American foods like burgers, but I didn't try them out. I had the spaghetti and clams. Never had it before and it was pretty good. We will more than likely be back again before we leave for the states. read more
