Absolutely stellar seafood restaurant in Genzano, about 45 minutes outside of Rome. A good friend…read moresuggested dinner here, so we took the drive and I put my stomach in his hands. Walking up, you'll see that Juri's restaurant has a very large (boxed-in) outside seating area. For a lovely summer night, this is a perfect dining experience, but as my friend and his wife had their infant with them, we elected to sit inside so any crying wouldn't disturb patrons outside (we were the only ones not dining al fresco). Raw oysters were ordered for the table as appetizers, and while I didn't partake (not my thing), they looked fresh and everyone else enjoyed heartily. The paella main course, though. Oh - that paella. My picture doesn't do justice to just how massive it is. Prawns, mussels, clams, scallops, seasoned rice, cooked so that the rice on the bottom was wonderfully crispy. This one rivaled paellas I've had in Barcelona and Ibiza. Staff were very friendly and attentive, and I'm not sure if it was because we were the only people seated inside or because there was a really cute little 18-month old to draw the waitress' attention over every so often. Juri came out to check on us, and it was hard to answer without falling all over myself with praise. I look forward to being back here because if they could do this large and complex of a dish well, I'd love to see what they do with single orders.
