Romantic, high end meal that got us away from all the Roman pasta restaurants. The seafood offerings were amazing as was the service. The recommended white wines by the glass were incredible too. I see why other reviewers said they ate here twice on their visit to Rome.

The food was the best tasted ever. In whole Europe. Even chef compliment which is usually nothing too wow, here is 11/10. From oysters, carpaccio to mancini and fish of the day, each dish was absolutely perfect. This restaurant should have a star. Big applause to chef. Everything amazing.

Our first visit to Rome and I found out about this place, as I love my seafood. I could go on forever about each dish, but the fact that I enjoyed my starter, main and desert with equally as much positivity, I’ll just say that you’d be mad not visiting. Every dish was presented wonderfully, tasted amazing and the wine selection was truly magnificent. I’ll tell you what was even better than the food, it was the warmness and welcoming attitude of the staff, every single person that I had the pleasure of meeting was a credit to the industry. If you’re in Rome, love great seafood and fancy a treat night out, this place is fantastic! One starter, two mains, two desserts, a bottle of sparkling water and two glasses of wine €150. Oh, between my main and dessert they brought us a frozen lemon slice coated in sugar, that was a treat I never thought I’d enjoy so much and the waiter brought us extra after me telling him how wonderful they were! Thank you to you all and if you’re reading this considering going, get yourselves to what must be one of the best restaurants in Rome.

Piro delivered a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The food was delicious with beautiful presentation — every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and visually appealing.

The service truly stood out and honestly cannot be beat. Attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed.

A special highlight was the treat at the end: iced lemon slices with sugar. It was my first time having something like this, and it was absolutely fantastic — refreshing, perfectly balanced, and such a memorable way to finish the meal. My taste buds loved it. Forgot to take a picture of the lemons.
