    Sunset
    Jeff L.

    I can only speak for the bar, not restaurant. But this is a must for happy hour/sunset (we had reservations for weeks). Staff is super. Drinks are spectacular along with nice complimentary bites (although you're paying for it with price of drinks). But the highlight is the view. One of the best in Rome. Please leave your baseball caps at home--the staff is dressed formally. You don't have to, but have some class, patrons.

    You can view the backside if the Church atoo the Spanish steps. The restaurant is licated on the 6th floor if the Eden Hotwl. Ww had the dishes in the photos all werw excellent but the service was othee wordly. Alexsander went above beyond. There was a couple dining near us that was celebrating their honeymoon. My wife wanted to order what they had for dessert but Alexsander explained it was prepared in advance for them. We happily ordered the chocolate ice cream dessert which was devine. When I asked for the bill Alexsander asked if we were in a rush and weren't. He stated he would ask his chef to prepare a special dessert. My wife told him our anniversary was tomorrow and stated it was just 27 years. Which he had inscribed on our dessert. Thank you for a memorable lunch

    All i have to say is wow. This place definitely did not disappoint. The views alone were stunning even though we weren't even at the edge of the building. The staff was phenomenal and kept checking back in on us which is why I probably had too much to drink . We wanted to try almost everything on the menu but decided to start with a meat and cheese board. The meats were great and the different cheeses tasted very different but went well with the meats. I ordered the courgettes for a starter. It was a beautiful plate and they tasted very good. The cheese filling was divine . I then got the ravioli and it was so fresh tasting . To end the meal we decided to splurge and got the sorbet. If you go you have to get it because it is the most fresh delicious tasting thing you've ever eaten ( 18 euros) All in all you should go here if you want a fantastic meal and experience

    The restaurant at The Eden is fabulous! Great views, ambiance, delicious food! Risotto with white asparagus and Buffalo mozzarella- superb! Pizza with aubergine, stracciatella and pesto was amazing - the crust was perfect. The simple salad of spinach, avocado and tofu was delicious. 5 stars!

    This place completely ruined my husband's birthday and our first honeymoon dinner. I made reservations well in advance considering it was my husband's birthday & our first honeymoon dinner in Italy. Even with reservations & considering the restaurant was 90% empty the host had the audacity of sitting us in a corner next to the kitchen and against a wall that was far away from the scenic views. When asked to move they said all tables were reserved but we could sit in one that was near the view but would have to leave in one hour. (Mind you that table was available for 2.5 hours & there were at least 8 other tables available). So I asked to sit outside even though it was cold, they allowed us to sit at a table near the view, mind you they were bothered that I asked. Our server was kind, the one positive part of the dinner. Food was mediocre or maybe the experience made it more than unpleasant. Overpriced & overrated ("$200" for 1 appetizer, 2 pasta plates, 2 drinks) that was double the price I paid for a Mitchell Star meal in Italy with more food & drinks). If you plan to go to this restaurant, I recommend to pass on the restaurant and just go straight to the bar during sunset.

    The views from our table were extraordinary!

    This lovely restaurant on the top floor of the Eden was a wonderful discovery. The views from our table were breathtaking and our waiter was so gracious and knowledgeable-truly a wonderful experience. I was especially appreciative of how knowledgeable our waiter was with all the vegan options and he assisted me in selecting a delicious dinner that started with a colorful mixed salad with cute little individual bottles of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, followed by a rich and creamy vegetable risotto - I savored every bite, and finished with a delicious and decadent vegan chocolate cake served with perfectly ripe fresh berries, vegan vanilla and coconut gelato-WOW!! This restaurant is on the pricey side but it is worth it for the extraordinary views, the delicious vegan options, the outstanding service-this was a special experience in Rome I will cherish for years to come

    View from the restaurant. Great cocktails and the staff is so wonderful

The bread basket was delicious served warm with amazing crust. The pasta was a tad undercooked but was the best tasting sauce ever. The melon sauce entirely new and never seen of heard of before. They took "summer melon" which I was told was cantaloupe. It was cut into 1/8 inch teeny tiny cubes and simmered for a long time until very soft and the sweetness a little washed out. It was sooo good. The braised beef was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delectable and the sides were great. The mozzarella and tomato was amazing too. Perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes were conscientiously sliced. 1000% suggest this restaurant

    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.

    An area we wanted to visit on this trip to Rome was Trastevere. It was evening when we arrived and…read morethere was so much activity, so many restaurants, so many places to stop for a drink. We picked Tonnarello Calisto because of good ratings and because we could sit inside and out of the heat at one of the few indoor tables. Our server Livio took excellent care of us, explaining dishes and just chatting that made us feel welcomed. I ordered their Tonnarello Amatriciana, a tomato based pasta dish with bacon, cheese, and pepper. It was delicious and just the right amount of food for me. The design of Tonnarello noodles worked well with this type of dish. A sample of my wife's tiramisu was a nice ending. We agreed this was a good choice for dinner.

    We chose this restaurant because of its outstanding trip advisor rating (4.8 stars with over 4,000…read morereviews), so we were expecting an amazing meal. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing meals of our trip to Rome. I want to start by saying the staff was wonderful--everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. We have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was undercooked, with dough that was still soft and not fully baked. The chicken dish tasted more like a simple stew and lacked flavor, and the lasagna was just average. Another red flag was that all of our food arrived within about five minutes of ordering, which made it seem like everything had been pre-made rather than freshly prepared. We rarely leave negative reviews, especially when the staff is so friendly, but we chose this restaurant specifically because of its exceptional reviews. I think it's only fair to share our honest experience so other travelers have realistic expectations. While the service was excellent, the food simply didn't live up to the reputation.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left.

Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
