The rice was of poor quality and instantly gave me a stomach ache. The boneless chicken was made with thigh meat which was a huge turn off. Usually jooje (boneless chicken kabab) is made with white meat. We also ordered the homemade doogh (yogurt drink) and mast (yogurt with mint) and both tasted great! Overall, a great lunch spot if you are craving Persian food. This spot is definitely the best Persian food you'll find in Rome. They have a lot of options on the menu so I'll definitely come back to try other menu items!

I'm from Lebanon, and the food is not Lebanese or Mediterranean or any other kind, I think they make there own recipes that are not related to any culture. And WHY THE €8 for bread we did not ask for and the €9 service fee, ARE YOU F KIDDING ME. It sucks, but I paid so we don't get into an argument with the owner as he was on Facebook reading all the bad reviews. Also, the place was empty, that was an indication not to order more food.

So many Italians having lunch, elderly and businessmen enjoying a small buffet with great service. It's small, but comfortable and the food was top notch. I ordered lasagna (I still do not know what was in it) and my husband ordered the fungi pasta. We also had an appetizer special with delicious meat, cheese and arugula. Such an enjoyable lunch complete with vino de casa!

They love the pasta al denté and the vodka penne we ordered was one of the best ones! Also ordered a fish but I can't recall the name of it! Still really good!

We went to Il Tempio di Iside after a morning of sightseeing as it was a reasonable walk from the…read moreColosseum. We had a 1:30 reservation but could probably have walked in. The place was busy but not packed on a Friday afternoon, though it's probably worth noting we were there in low season. The restaurant was attractive, with a fancier atmosphere than most of the places we dined at in Rome. Nice brick, repeating arches, white tablecloths. Cute, corny folded napkins festooned with paper bowties. Service was perfunctory but fine. We got everything we needed when we needed it, starting with a couple glasses of house white wine, crisp and lovely with our food. Tempio di Iside is an Italian seafood joint, and it was nice to break up our pasta week with some light crudos and fish. The food was delicious, starting with a good bread basket, which included soft and crusty breads and some very tasty anise breadsticks. We ordered a robust spread of appetizers: the crudo for one, plus sea urchin, shrimp carpaccio, and scallops. The crudo platter came with tuna tartare, cuttlefish, and fish carpaccio, drizzled with olive oil and served with diced red onion and a wedge of lemon. The tartare was great, served over some cold potato, and I loved both the slippery noodles of cuttlefish and the firm fish, which was snapper or something else like it. The cuttlefish and snapper were sprinkled with bright pops of pink peppercorn. The sea urchin was a treat, served in its shell over ice. The shrimp carpaccio was excellent, the raw shrimp sweet and fresh, finished with olive oil, black pepper, and lemon. The scallops were cooked in their shells with crispy breadcrumbs. We did get one pasta, and it was outstanding: nubby cavatelli with little sweet shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and pecorino, in a delightfully shrimpy sauce. We also had the tuna entrée, four thin tuna steaks with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and balsamic. Cooked more than I typically expect of tuna, but quite good, meaty and not dry. If you're visiting Rome and want an elegant seafood meal, I'd highly recommend Tempio di Iside. It had a different vibe and menu from the other restaurants we went to on our trip, and we were really happy with everything we ordered.

Il Tempio di Iside…read more What a disappointment!! On so many levels!! We arrived at 7:35 for our 7:30 reservation. There was one couple already seated in their main floor entry level dining room. We were escorted to the downstairs dining room which has low ceilings and a dark ambiance. It felt like a dungeon. We rejected that and told the escort we wanted to sit in the main dining room, and then we selected our table. My wife and I each ordered mixed salad and seafood risotto. Both were poor quality. The salad was 65% iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and arugula (rocket lettuce) on top. How does a restaurant at this level serve iceberg lettuce?? The seafood risotto was no better. A plate of rice, with 6 clams, 3 mussels, and 1 shrimp (see attached photo, which is nothing like the one on their website!!). Where was the octopus (per the menu) and why so little shellfish?? Service was intermittent and slow. Not once did waiter come to fill our wine or water glass. This restaurant does NOT cater to tourists, as further evidenced by the regular attention to other "locals" tables. We've been in Rome for 10 days thus far, and this was the least attentive and poorest example of "finer dining" we've experienced.
