Contro Corrente Ristorante — Restaurant in Fiumicino

Amazing Meat Restaurant in Fiumicino – Highly Recommend!

We recently visited Contro Corrente in Fiumicino, and it was hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. If you're a meat lover, this place is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The menu is absolutely incredible, with a variety of cuts that are cooked to perfection. I tried their specialty meats, and every bite was flavorful and tender. The staff was knowledgeable about the different options and helped us pick the best selections to suit our tastes. They’re passionate about what they serve, and it shows in the quality of their food.

The service was also fantastic – attentive without being intrusive. They made sure we had everything we needed and checked in at just the right times. Overall, Contro Corrente delivers on everything you’d expect from a high-quality meat restaurant: delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to all my friends. Don’t miss this gem...

Amazing restaurant. If you are a meat lover, the food is top notch. They only do beef medium max and that’s perfect for us. We had the Italian beef, one with blackberry and black truffle, and one w rosemary and caramelised beet. Both were amazing.

We had a simple cheese and pepper pasta and when there is perfection too in the simple dishes too, you know there is an excellent chef in the house. Our appetisers of fried meatball with lemon, and a tomino cheese in a hazelnut crust was simply bliss.

Roberto, who attended to us, recommended a most excellent red to go with the meats and his suggestion of the beet vegetables totally nailed it too. And insisted on us finishing the meal with the v splendid homemade limoncello.

But let me also mention the divine desserts - the assemble-yourself tiramisu was a delight, and the namelaka totally knocked us off our seats with its velvety smoothness.

On the whole, this could be our best meal in our Italian summer vacation. And totally made us sealed our love affair with Italy.

Thank you for a lovely evening, Contro Corrente...

If you ever find yourself in Fiumicino, just minutes from Rome’s airport, do yourself a favor and stop by this incredible Italian gem. From the very first bite, you can taste the freshness and love poured into every dish.

We ordered the fettuccine and carbonara, both perfectly balanced and cooked to that ideal “al dente” texture Italians are famous for. The carbonara was rich yet light, creamy without being heavy, and the fettuccine melted in our mouths with every bite.

Our server recommended a local Lazio wine, and it turned out to be the perfect pairing—smooth, aromatic, and the kind of bottle you remember long after you leave.

Everything—from the warmth of the staff to the simple elegance of the setting—made it feel like a true Italian experience. You can tell every ingredient is fresh and locally sourced, and every dish made with heart.

We loved every little piece of it. A must-visit if you’re near Fiumicino or heading to the airport—this place alone is...
