And let's say you'd like a spectacular view over the entire city too... Say no more, fam - La Terrazza has you covered and smothered. We sat on the gorgeous patio, with million dollar views and only slightly less pricey drinks. Service as you might guess, impeccable. Expect to be in the €30 range for a cocktail but it will arrive with some snacks (olives, those round cracker things, etc). You can get sandwiches or salads too if you're hungry. I was plenty happy with a very nice glass of champagne and the company of my fellow travelers. People watching - epic. You may look in some of those fancy boutique windows and say "who would wear that?". The answer may be found here. Also, super nice bathrooms!!

I see an understated modern entrance with a very simple menu - pasta of the day; panino of the day. That's all. And there's no one inside. So I take a peek and see a waittress there. I ask her about the "of the days" and she actually recites list of 3 pastas and 3 panini. I can't keep it all straight in my head but the place looks classy and the prices seem reasonable for said classiness. I sit by the bar that looks straight into the working kitchen, where a matrix of ravioli sits waiting to be made. The pasta that I ordered was actually the very buffalo ravioli that were on the counter, so that would be fun to watch it being made and to eat it right there. It was simply excellent - not just for the quiet and respite but for the elegance of the space and the excellence of the food. Seems like it's a bit of a hidden gem.

We were warmly greeted and taken upstairs to the terrace - beautiful, cozy, tree-lined and with heaters when the temperatures dropped. Everything was delicious. Italian cuisine with a modern twist. We could tell that they are having fun creating the menu. The locals ordered a sampling plate and a glass of wine for a light dinner/happy hour. It was not on the menu but we ordered one to split as an appetizer. (see photo). Each morsel was amazing! We had pasta as a main course (of course!) and they were fantastic! The desserts were creative and delicious. It was a great evening! The terrace was busy but not crowded. People were talkative but you can still carry on a conversation without yelling.

I thought the all gray, minimalistic design of the restaurant was very interesting. It made for a unique dining experience. I ordered the salmon dish - salmon with pesto and zucchini on top with a side of salad. My dish tasted fresh and flavorful. It wasn't heavy, but I was definitely full after finishing it. My friends all enjoyed what they ordered. One of my friends is vegetarian so there are vegetarian options here. The service was superb. They lady with the short hair was attentive and patient. She explained everything on the menu and answered all of our questions. She recommended a wine and even told us a little bit about the wine. Very helpful and knowledgable! While we were waiting for our food, she kindly brought us some suppli to try. Such great service and food. It was truly an experience! Don't let the colorless interior stop you from trying out Il Doppio!!

Less is definitely more when it comes to the restaurant design at the hall of Metamorfosi…read more Straight-forward, no frills minimalism allows the unique details to shine. From warm wood supports that hold Sicilian plaster vases, to warm espresso colored walls and soft eggshell linens, the design stimulates the philosophy that tradition evolves with the passage of time, and experience is fluid. To dine at Metamorfosi is to indulge in innovative cuisine, paired with a selection of wine that exhibits knowledge and precision of selection. A culinary gem in Rome, with service that is welcoming and engaging. I attended Metamorfosi alone for lunch, in full anticipation of the gastronomical adventure worthy of a Michelin star. As the famous Carbonara egg was placed on my table, I immediately began to know why the chef Roy Caceres is the talk of Rome. A deconstructed carbonara, consisting of an egg cooked at 65 degrees for 40 minutes and topped with parmesan foam, crispy pasta and fried pork rinds. Crunchy with a beautifully warm and thick yolk. I also tried the raw tuna and herbs, wrapped in chard leaves. Eaten with my hands, each bite was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the slightly bitter chard paired perfectly with the tang of the raw fish. The "Anti-Pasta" dish I had next was a complete surprise, as it contained noodles, made without carbohydrates and obtained from a fish soup dehydrated and enhanced by an emulsion of shrimp head and powder of sea lettuce. I have never tasted anything like this, and it was delicious. A slight seafood flavor, but with the texture of regular pasta noodles. What followed was the pigeon, cooked two ways. The first was tender and crunchy, with drops of blueberry vinegar. The second served in a corn leaf with creamed corn, huitlacoche and grated white truffle. For the first dessert, I bit into a white chocolate lollipop, to find it filled with tangy, aged blue cheese, and dipped in a Port Jam - a true original. Then came the Black Forest - mascarpone and re-fermented dark chocolate flakes, covered with cherry gel with a base of almond crumble and chocolate. The hall of Metamorfosi is truly an emulsion of creativity and craft, expressed on a culinary canvas. It's an experience I recommend: from the service, the atmosphere and the unique dishes.

Located on Via Giovanni Antonelli, in the Parioli area, it is immediately upon entry that guests are drawn in by neutral colors and wood, the warmth exuded by staff expected from a Michelin-starred Restaurant and service particularly attentive on Monday evening where only three other tables were occupied over the course of 140-minutes. Deliberately paced, and referencing everything from Chef Caceres' Colombian childhood to time in Japan, diners are asked to decide between tasting menu and a la carte after Water is poured, the latter chosen out of desire for specific items and beginning with benign Wheat Crisps followed by far more interesting housemade Bread with a blended spread of Honey Butter and Olive Oil. Dabbling in modernism, an iSi charger undoubtedly involved in Potato Foam with Octopus and Onions to whet palates, course one featured Metamorfosi's signature "Carbonara Egg 65°" riffing Rome's signature dish via immersion circulator with suspended Chicharrones while Scallop Ceviche approached a South American spice profile using Calabrian Sausage in place of Aji Peppers. Whimsical again with Primi, Caceres' S-foglia replacing Pasta with Broccoli surrounding Pork bathed by Almond Cream, "Encased" Risotto hinges more on the tableside preparation than anything else, a bit gimmicky though the taste and texture of Rice, Mushrooms and Hazelnuts are delightful. Suggesting the €85 wild-caught Mallard "for two," a tableside preparation plating Breast alongside Carob and Squash with its Seeds, steep-pricing became justified through the addition of satellite plates offering Confit with Chestnuts and Liver beneath Truffles lightly sweetened by Balsamic. Using English Stilton wrapped in White Chocolate as a bridge to Dessert, an unexpected but enjoyable choice in Italy, it was after a somewhat protracted delay thay "Malaga 2.0" arrived, the idea somewhere between Halo Halo and deconstructed Panettone thanks to Egg Yolk Ice Cream, boozy Raisins, Citrus and Bread.
