Fantastic food at a reasonable price, wine list although not extensive has some affordable hidden gems. I had the lobster and loved it. I didn't plan on getting desert but I was so beguiled I ordered the tiramisu and finished it expeditiously. Upon realizing how fast I ingested the tiramisu, this restaurant has made me realize that I am a tiramislut. I am not ashamed and am thankful for my taxi drive and this restaurants service.

Chinese food? In Rome? YES…read more One cancelled flight later, we ended up at Ergife Palace Hotel and had one of our last meals at Xian Du because it was a short walk away. Not what we expected but a pleasant surprise- the staff was friendly and the food was excellent. Did I mention it was super affordable? Their portions are smaller but still shareable and with prices like €5.60 for roast duck and €3.50 for chow mein, this spot is a gem. We ordered a lot of food including some servings of white rice, chow mein, roast duck, ramen, spring rolls, dumplings, and fried rice. Everything was delicious and actually a nice break from all the pasta and pizza we've been consuming the whole trip. If you happen to be in the area and craving some rice dishes or ramen, drop by Xian Du!

The food was fantastic not just kind of fantastic but really fantastic. I said that three times for a reason, it was filled with Italians to start. Coming over from Greece I have the mentality of ordering a lot of food, the friends are with were not used to that. The first thing I ordered was. Chickery greens cooked to perfection and a little spicy. I ordered 2 croquettes one that was a stuffed zucchini flower with cheese and it was so good. The other croquette was potato and cheese and it was so nice. Olive brochette salty and oh so olivey. Spaghetti carbonara was full bodied and a little heavy but tasty. The spaghetti marinara was heaven just what you think of when one thinks of Italy. Green Salad just ok, but the mushroom and ham calzone wrap was devine. I'm already planning my next trip back with my friends bring more friends. The pictures don't do justice.

A good honest neighborhood restaurant…read more A large honest neighborhood restaurant. It is in the Aurelio neighborhood which is one of Rome's many ugly neighborhoods. There are two walled-in complex that are beautiful - The Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and A Spanish Language Collegium designed to provide advanced training to Catholic Priests working in Latin America. Both establishments have stunning beautiful grounds inside their walls. Outside, it is brutal every day Rome. Grim apartment buildings, a lot of traffic, factories and stores selling practical items like automobile parts. The general area is a restaurant desert - except for some very small and grungy mini-cafes. In this grim world of concrete reality, Ferro e Ghisa stands out like an oasis. They serve industrialized food but good industrialized food. They have a fine bar. The place feels relaxed and spacious. You go outside and you feel like you are going to be run over by speeding cars every six and a half seconds. * * * When we came in at 4:30 on a warm sunny late afternoon, their vast room was completely deserted. Golden light poured into the front from outside giving the establishment a warm glow. By the time we left at six, only one other set of customers had come in ... an Indian family. However, as we sat there one waitress after another after another reported for duty. A look inside the kitchen showed an army of cooks. So even if the place was nearly empty while we were there, It looked like they were preparing for an onslaught of hundreds of customers. Given how few other good establishments there are in the neighborhood, their expectation of an onslaught of customers was probably right on target. * * * I had the house white wine (they were pouring Riesling), and a Fritto Pazzo. The menu said clearly the Fritto Pazzo was made from frozen ingredients. It was absolutely peachy, frozen or not frozen. * * * Fritto Pazzo means Crazy Fried Whatever. Like American vegetable soup, There are no standard rules as to what has to be included. Certain items show up frequently. Rice Croquettes show up nearly always. Those come with and without tomato sauce inside. It is common to throw in both kinds. Fried vegetables show up. Some kind of fried potato shows up. Fried seafood can show up if the house is feeling expansive. The Ferro e Ghisa version features very very curly fried potatoes making them kind of a curlicue chip and three different flavors and shapes of rice croquettes. Short and fat with just rice and cheese inside, short and fat with tomato sauce and cheese inside and long and skinny like a breadstick with cheese inside. There may have been some incidental other vegetables or even a shrimp in there somewhere. But the potato chips and the croquettes were there in quantity ... And they were the total stars of the show. This was heavy snacking in style. I was glad to have it. * * * We have had legendary food to die for elsewhere in Rome ... So I sort of have to call this a four star review. But there was zero wrong with what I had. I would love to go back ... Notably when I could do a deep dive into their fantastic bar ... And see what else is on their very large menu. I shouldn't drink too much however. It would be too easy to be run over by the 1000 cars that run in front of this place night and day, day and night.
