Let's say you're in Rome, near the Spanish steps, and you feel a bit peckish. Perhaps in need of an…read moreAperol Spritz or some nibbles? 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!!

The pigeon and chicken main courses were simply not up to the standards one would expect from such a highly rated restaurant. The rest of the selections were simply forgettable.

Dining at Retrobottega was nothing short of extraordinary. We were there with our son and daughter,…read moreboth university students in the U.S., and the experience became an unforgettable family memory. Each course was a revelation--bold, unexpected, and beautifully executed. The starters alone were a gastronomic journey: silky pâté paired with cherries, zucchini infused with coffee--each bite thoughtfully layered with flavor and technique. The pasta with smoked pork and fig was rich and elegant, and the steak, cooked to perfection, melted in the mouth alongside a velvety sweet potato purée. Every dish was paired with a carefully selected wine, enhancing each flavor and showing the team's mastery of balance and depth. We asked so many questions throughout the evening--curious about the ingredients, the preparation, and the wine--and the staff couldn't have been more thoughtful or enthusiastic in sharing their knowledge. Their passion turned our meal into an education, and their kindness made it even more special. This wasn't just a meal--it was pure art. If you love food that surprises, delights, and inspires, Retrobottega is not to be missed.

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. It is a fun place! Cozy, creative, delicious, fun, affordable - a great place to wind down as a tourist or a local.

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!!
