Tried to book a table online, received a message saying they would respond/confirm later. No response at all, disappointing that they couldn’t be bothered to reply. Worked out well in the end as we secured a table at Il Retrovo and had a lovely meal with brilliant staff. Go there instead would be our recommendation.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Ristorante di Pesce Chiaroscuro. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Every dish was a standout. The seafood was incredibly fresh and the attention to detail in each plate was clear.

The risotto was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, but the real star was the tagliolini con calamaretti e lamelle di bottarga di muggine di Cabras. The fritto was light and crisp, not greasy at all, and both desserts, the cheesecake and tiramisù, were a pleasant surprise.

Very very happy and satisfied. Will definitely be back.

Love this place. Excellent food and amazing hospitality, at very reasonable prices! The oysters are the best I’ve had in Italy. So glad I live in the neighborhood and can come whenever I have a hankering for seafood.

worth the price—it comes with a lovely ambiance, great food and extraordinary service. so lucky to secure the last available table that day, as it was fully booked the next day.

i had the privilege of seeing their kitchen and honestly it’s the cleanest kitchen i’ve ever seen in my life. i hope they can maintain all of this and whenever i’m back in Rome, i will definitely come and visit this restaurant again.

p.s. the owner is very kind and the sweetest Italian person i met on this whole trip. see you another time✨

We were first one for dinner here and it was absolutely delicious. Owner is extremely welcoming, so is the rest of the staff. We loved the appetizers, main course and dessert. We received Prosecco upon arrival and some potato soup for tasting. This is fine dining and quality at its best. I am happy we got to experience this place. I recommend.
