We all agreed everything was great, the restaurant was very nice and the service was good. Always a pleasant surprise to find a surprise 5.

Tonight, I stumbled upon what turned out to be our favorite meal in Rome so far…read more Just a 5 minute walk from our hotel, tucked down a narrow cobblestone lane draped in ivory blooms and fragrant jasmine, we found Ristorante Babette. The kind of place you don't discover from a giant sign or a tourist brochure. The kind of place you find by wandering, exploring, and getting a little curious. Before dinner even started, they surprised us with a complimentary bowl of their seasonal Gabacho soup. Light, refreshing, and bursting with fresh flavor, it was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to begin the evening. Then came the seafood soup. I was torn between several options, and I am so glad I followed my instincts. It was one of the top 3 soups I've ever had in my life. Tender shrimp, succulent fish, sweet shellfish, and a silky coconut broth that somehow felt both comforting and elegant at the same time. Every spoonful made me slow down and savor the moment. For our mains, I ordered the Duck and Annabelle chose the Sirloin. Both were beautifully prepared, perfectly seasoned, and paired with potatoes that were cooked exactly the way potatoes should be. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. I also ordered a side of potato leek gratin that absolutely stole the show. My daughter's steak arrived a little more rare than she prefers, and the staff graciously took it back and brought it out again cooked perfectly. Service like that says a lot about a restaurant. The setting felt magical. Soft lighting, a quiet garden atmosphere, cozy tables, and the kind of relaxed elegance that makes you want to linger over one more glass of wine and another basket of bread. As a chef, foodie, and culinary travel advisor, these are the experiences I search for. Not just restaurants, but places with soul. Places where the food tells a story and the atmosphere makes you feel like you've discovered something special. These hidden gems are exactly the kinds of experiences I love helping travelers find at EatSipTravel.com Rome, you keep surprising me.

Famous for their coffee, I ordered a black tea with lemon and a pistachio cake. Table service is available inside and out. Be aware if you sit outside others may be smoking. There are two tables to sit and a few 'standing room' tables made from snow board on side walk. I received a loose black tea in a reusable tea bag, a lemon (as requested), a cup of hot water and spoon. This tea is light and floral and very much complimented the acidic lemon. Excellent cuppa. That pistachio cake is delicious. The outside crust is toothsome while the inside is soft, moist and sweet. A really welcome mid-morning respite. Service was excellent. Staff speak English. On street parking if you can find it. If in need of a caffeine break, looking for a baked good or lunch time meal I think you'll be satisfied at any of the Caffe Marziali 1922 locations. Check out their history on their website.

I arrived just in time for lunch, the rush hour crowd filed in right after me. That's a great testimony to the quality of the food and drinks. The only objection is to what seemed to be a lack of process and apparent chaos as it was difficult to determine where to order, who to talk to , who was the cashier and who made the food etc..., it drove me impatient but they came through, sat us down and served us a good pizza romano, freshly juiced assortment of fruits. I will probably not go back as there is so much to discover in Rome but I would encourage you to visit as they push out good food.

The problem is that when I called ahead, I was specifically told I could come for dinner at 5:00. Because of that, I ended up wasting time and money taking an Uber from my hotel, only to find out I couldn't be seated for dinner. That said, not all of the staff were unfriendly. Some of the employees were nice and tried to be helpful, and the rooftop views were beautiful. The location itself is definitely worth seeing. Overall, I was just disappointed with how the reservation situation was handled. Better communication would have made a big difference. The views are great, but the confusion and the way part of the staff handled the situation left me annoyed with my experience.

After a…read morebusiness meeting, I was fortunate to be invited to dine here and to this day it remains one of my most treasured dining experiences. We were a group of ten so we shared many appetizers. Too many to list but I will say, they were all divine! When it came to dinner, I opted for a bucatini pasta dish with lobster. The lobster meat was out of the shell - thank you - and the shell was placed on top of the dish as decoration. The sauce was a simple tomato, garlic and basil and all the flavors worked perfectly with the delicate lobster. With every twirl of pasta on my fork, I was moaning with delight! Too full for desert, I originally declined but when a colleague, who was born and lived her entire life in Italy gave the tiramisu a 15 on a scale of 1-10, I had to go for it. I'm so glad I did! Light, creamy, delicious, it was the perfect ending to an exquisite meal. I've seen many 2 star reviews and it definitely surprises me. I can only speak for my experience, and that of the group I was with, and we all loved our dinner and experience.
