Eating pizzas, pasta, dolci and drinking italian wine is great, there's no denying that. But once in a while, even when in the very centre of the Italian food empire, you just feel like something different! Smoke Ring is a new trendy american styled dinner with rustic interior and food court-ish styling. They play great american rock (Bruce Springsteen 'the Boss' is all over the place) and serve authentic pork and chicken BBQ with sides of coleslaw, baked beans and/or different sides of potato. You can get yourself a great local beer or the imported stuff, it's up to you to find your favorite amongst a decent selection. Give 'when in Rome' a nuance, try this

All-in-all, this place is different but pretty good! Prices were also good - they basically charge by the rib or piece of chicken. What we ordered: Ribs, chicken thighs, wings and BBQ beans. Verdict: The Ribs were absolutely the best. HUGE and well smoked. They don't really need BBQ sauce, but it makes a good addition. The BBQ sauce is light and different but surprisingly tasty. The chicken was pretty decent. If you want chicken, it'll do the job just fine, but I'd focus on the ribs. The beans were very different, but also pretty good. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in Rome again.

Quiet, quaint and clean with kind service, we had a lovely dinner of sea bass, octopus salad and curry with black rice. The homemade bread that was served was really interesting and quite tasty with plenty of flavor in each different type of bread. It was very quiet and we practically had the whole restaurant to ourselves, which was pretty expected in the middle of December. If we ever find ourselves back in Latina again, we will definitely return.

On the remains of the old youth cocktail bars, it looks like a completely renovated.About a hundred seats, including the indoor room and outdoor space and a private dining room for 15 people (only by reservation) on the first floor with a great view of Milvio Bridge.The restaurant welcomes you with a large entrance and a cozy space for an aperitif or after dinner.The main dishes are meat. The traditional steak is cooked in a healthy way and light made using an oven made of cast iron, wich cooks the meat evenly.The time of cooking is short (2-5 minutes against the 20 minutes of the grid) and all the meat remains tender and not dry.The meat stuck on a sword is deboned, defatted and unnerved.The tables placed within the restaurant all have a "swordbear" made by a blacksmith, strictly in steel. The swordbear are practical and do not take away space.Although the tables are small there is space for bread and sauces.The sword is made with a handle made from a saddler, because the swords are very hot!You can choose between 8 swords of different meats. The swords available are fillet, luganica veal, chicken mixed sausage, seitan, chicory roulade,meatballs to the Lebanese or bomblets Messina.

Although we were the only two (over 60 year old) American couples to dine once the restaurant…read moreopened this past Sunday night, we were shown a table upstairs. There were empty tables downstairs and the restroom was also downstairs. The menu was only in Italian but we were able to figure out what we wanted. The ladies ordered tenderloin, one medium and one medium rare. When it came out, the meat was a little undercooked and not as warm in the plate. We asked our waiter if they could be taken back to cook a little longer and he was able to get that done. The meat for the 4 of us was delicious, warm, and well seasoned. A basket of crusty bread was taken to our table. I asked twice for butter and had to wait awhile for it but it was worth the wait. The restaurant was decorated with a modern flair. We are not wine drinkers but there is a good assortment of wines there. In America, we are used to good service from waitstaff at higher end restaurants like this. In Italy, it's different. Tipping is usually not done unless the diner feels well taken care of. Although we had to wait for a few items, the meat was worth the visit. Surprised that my review is the only one in the last few years. Not many know of this place unless they use Yelp.
