American haters! My husband and I asked for a table at about 8:00 on a Friday night. There were…read moreplenty of tables outside but when we asked for a table for two, the hostess stepped away briefly and returned to say "sorry, we're all booked up." it seemed odd since there were so many empty tables. Within 5 to 10 minutes later an Italian couple walked up and asked for a table for two (no reservations) and were seated immediately. We suspected we were turned away because we are Americans but decided to give it one more chance the next evening. We arrived much earlier, at about 7:30 PM, and there was literally no one seated inside or outside of the restaurant. We asked for a table for two (in English) and the hostess turned around and looked at the empty restaurant, then turned back and looked us in the eye and said " sorry we're all booked up." I asked her do you mean you're all booked up for Americans? And she gave me a look as if to say "you caught me." Please avoid this racist establishment. We went to Ovosodo Forno Al Egna the same night and were treated very well, the food was delicious. They had to give us maybe one or two extra minutes of their time due to the language barrier (we get by just fine with google translate app), and we left a decent and generous "American" tip for their kindness and service. Please steer clear of this place and leave a review if you are also treated unfairly.

I strongly recommend eating here! We had many great meals during our eight days in Italy, and this tasting menu ($40) was our second favorite meal...just behind the 3-star Michelin restaurant in Florence ($300). We were very impressed with the food and even more impressed with the wine pairings with local wines ($20). A great Italian experience!

As we are bad tourists with poor command of Italian, the friendly servers translated the entire daily specials menu into English for us. They brought us a tasting of their house bread and impossibly rich olive oil, which we downed greedily. The homemade tortellini pasta was outstanding. The succulent chicken was well complemented by a thick lemon-ginger sauce, and the tri-tip was seasoned to perfection. Wine pours were generous. All dishes were very reasonably priced. I hesitated to try the tiramisu, worrying it would be the first letdown of the meal. It did not disappoint. With an artisanal mound of cocoa topping and a generous base of liquor, it was probably the best tiramisu I've had. This dinner made us regret leaving Italy all the more. I never expected to voluntarily plan a trip to Ciampino, but this place would bring us back.

We had no reservations, but we were seated as soon as we arrived. I loved the decor as I entered; looked very cozy and rustic in a classy way. I don't remember what we exactly ordered, but I think it was some kind of ravioli. Turned out to be delicious. And we stopped off our meal with Tiramisu, the REAL tiramisu. Definitely very different from the Tiramisu that we get in the US. It was creamy, but not very heavy like how it is in the US. Ohh, it was just a perfect way to finish the meal.

I often did and at Monte Porzio Catone, about 30 minutes drive from Rome, I finally found that place - the fabulous restaurant "Il Convivio - '800 Novecento 1001" that let you forget about everything and furthermore offer you high quality Italian cuisine in a stunning atmosphere. No matter if you are Roman or a tourist, a trip to Monte Porzio Catone in combination with having dinner at "Il Convivio - '800 Novecento 1001" (ristorante & pizzeria) is absolutely worth it. The staff is very friendly and strives for the welfare of clients. Owner Guido De Simone, who came around a lot in the world, conjures a magic ambiance with his new restaurant and it seems that he has put lots of his experiences into that place. The prices in Guido's restaurant are slightly elevated, but already after one has tasted the starter (I have never eaten such a good antipasti before), you know why. Only a few steps from the restaurant there is furthermore a viewing platform with a magnificent view over Rome. Enjoy an unforgettable romantic evening at "Il Convivio" in Monte Porzio Catione, I'm sure you'll love it!
