    We just arrived in Rome yesterday around lunch time on a Tauck tour and our tour director, Rudy, had arranged a lunch at this restaurant. It was a great experience. Our party was the first at the restaurant so service was good. The ambiance is also very nice. The menu offers plenty of appetizers, salads, pastas, pizzas and entrees. I started with the Greek salad and it was a very big salad. It had lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese. For my entree I had the ravioli stuffed with pears and truffles. It was the best ravioli I have ever had in my life. For dessert, I opted for the Gelato assortment. It was three scoops of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The perfect ending to a fabulous lunch. My husband had the linguine with shrimp. His dish was also a nice size portion and very tasty. He had the apple tart for dessert and it looked beautiful. Other diners in my group had the risotto, penne pasta, mussels, pizza, chicken, steak and grilled vegetables. Everything was good.

    Seafood with rice

    I dined here for dinner a week ago being close to my hotel. It's also near Roma Termini. It is an upscale restaurant with a nice ambiance. I ordered the mixed salad €6 and the seafood with rice entree for €17. I asked for the salad to arrive first. It had sliced cherry tomatoes and corn in with the greens and it was fresh and delicious. I added a little oil and vinaigrette just to bring it all together. The seafood and rice was next. It was a generous serving of its name. Pieces of fish and shellfish were mixed in the rice and sauce and served warm. It was a bowl of satisfying comfort food that I enjoyed. Finally the table service was prompt and professional. Target is a very nice restaurant to come for a lunch or dinner. I would be happy to return.

    Tiramisu

    Awesome dinner last night. One of my favorite things about Italy is you can just walk into a random restaurant and have some of the best food ever. We just walked here as it was late and this was very close to our hotel. The ambience is very a very clean and modern look. The service was very good. Now the food: Octopus Tomato Soup - 5/5: wasn't sure exactly what to expect. Wow, was this good. The baby octopus was tender and flavorful. The tomato soup was delicious (part of me did want a grilled cheese to be able to dip into the soup ). Minestrone Soup -5/5: how do they get so much flavor in the broth from just vegetables? Our waiter confirmed this was completely vegan. Amazing. Four Cheese Pizza - 5/5: cheese-lover's dream. I don't know what 4 cheeses were used, but the result was a warm, gooey, cheesy perfection. Sauteed Mussels and Clams (then another one with just clams) - 5/5: might be one of the best mussel dishes I've had. The broth they cooked it in was wonderful. My daughter loves clams bit is not a fan of Mussels. The restaurant was kind enough to accommodate us with making a 2nd order of this dish with just clams, even though that was not on the menu. Thank you! Pasta with Prawns and Leek - 5/5: one of the best pastas of our trip. Really nuanced and layered flavors from just a few ingredients. Must try! Pasta with Clams - 3/5: the only "miss" of the night. Thought the dish lacked flavor. Grilled Octopus - 4/5: Octopus flavorful and grilled perfectly. Didn't think the presentation was great and the bed of mashed potatoes was a bit too heavy of a pairing IMO. Tiramisu - 3/5: I'm probably being too harsh but the tiramisu served "pudding"-style didn't do it for me. All in all, a fantastic meal and a restaurant we will bookmark for the next time we're back in Rome!

    On our 2nd night in Rome, my wife and I dined at Target since the restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel and we were jet lagged. Sadly, we were very disappointed in the overall service and quality of food. The beef carpaccio was chewy and the mussels were not fresh. The veal scallopini was tough and the carbonara was mediocre at best--not what you expect when dining in the heart of Roma. On a positive note, the Amarone was good and fairly priced and our table by the window overlooking the cobblestone street was nice. The service was attentive when we first arrived until a large private party showed up and then the service was basically non-existent. I wish I could recommend Target, but unfortunately, I can't. There are much better restaurant options in Rome.

    Pizza Marinara
    Mark S.

    Target was a recommendation for pizza from our hotel close by. My wife was impeccably dressed, as always, and when I realized how classy it was I went back to the room to step up my outfit before dining while she waited with a Negroni. We sat outside and were served by Christian. After perusing the menu and consulting with Christian, we decided upon the Octopus Soprasetta, Pasta Cacio e Pepe, Pizza Marinara and Cod with Tomato, Capers and Crouton. Christian shined as a professional waiter by thinking about which order to bring our the dishes; pizza and octopus first followed by the pasta and cod. We added to that a bottle of Syrah from Lazio and the decisions were made. Everything was great. The pizza thin and fresh, the octopus delicate, the pasta sauce perfectly distributed, the cod perfectly baked and all dishes were generous portions. All of the above was $100 Euro and the service was excellent. We were Christian's last table and learned that he had been on shift for 14 hours and yet he was still professional, personable and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Target for a relaxing experience in hectic Rome.

    Lobster spaghetti

    Delicious dinner. We shared the lobster pasta for 2. It was absolutely delicious. It was very big enough for more than 2. We sat outside and the service was amazing.

    Turbot with potato and cherry tomatoes. Fish
    Angelina S.

    The restaurant is really close the hotel we are staying and it is recommended by our concierge. The ambience is pretty nice and it is clean. We ordered -pizza with artichoke,olive,ham and egg The worst pizza i have ever eaten. The crust is really hard not crispy. The topping is really plain. Very disappointing. -turbot fish with tomato and potato. Quite nice but we like the potato and tomato more than the fish.the potato is sliced really thin so it is a bit crispy but have a nice bite to it. The tomato is roasted so it is sweet and juicy. -bruschetta with garlic Do not order, very hard and it is a very spicy bitter garlicky taste to it. -truffle pear pasta The best one out of all. It has the sweetness of pear inside the ravioli style pasta. The sauce has the truffle/garlicky taste. -Tiramisu Good. Lets just say i have ever better ones before. The service is not that good because they are slow compare to the number of waiter/waitress and how many tables that are occupied. If you have time, go try something else.

    Le Tavernelle - Lobster pasta

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
