Acquaviva — Restaurant in Rome

I had dinner for 1 here. The food was an explosion of flavours from good quality ingredients. I ordered the salmon which was cooked to perfection and a crispy fresh green salad with tomatoes. I dressed it with white wine vinegar, rock salt, pepper and olive oil. Simple but perfect. It accompanied my salmon delightfully and the portion size was perfect too!! Lots of perfect with the food drool I also ordered a side portion of the pecorino sauce to dip the bread into. Everything had been prepared and cooked wonderfully. Nothing was over-powering nor did any flavour go unnoticed. With my meal I ordered a bottle of mineral water (75ml) and I had a herbal tea for afterwards. It came to a total of 40€ which I felt was reasonable.

Although the service overall was very good, I felt the only area which was a bit of a letdown was that I felt a bit pressured and rushed by the staff, to either take my plates away when I hadn’t finished my meal, pushed to write a 5 star review whilst I was in the middle of reading, to the point where they were showing me on my phone exactly how to add in the 5 stars, and then asking me if I wanted dessert 2 or 3 times quite consecutively where I had to ask them if they were in a rush for me to vacate my table. Considering there were more than 10 empty tables available for different sized groups and the restaurant didn’t close for another 1.5hrs+, I felt it made the perfect solo date dinner into a slightly less perfect one.

I will rate the food as 5 star, however, if I could 4.5 for the rest, I feel it would be more accurate reflection.

I will also like to add and give q shout out to one particular member of staff I encountered on numerous occasions who was always an absolute delight. EMANUELE!! Grazie for making me feel so welcome. He was attentive and polite, I never felt like a burden or ‘encouraged’ to do differently because it...

A very comfortable ambiance and very good food. Stayed at the hotel for 6 nights and ate here for free breakfast and paid for dinners 5 of the nights. Mostly very nice people from Viola to Gaia, Matteo, were incredibly nice and hardworking. We had several servers including Gamal and I’m ashamed to have left out two other names that I couldn’t remember, but I may do an update to add soon.

My family loved the pizza and pasta that’s a staple on the menu. The restaurant boasts about their chefs from Napoli and we concur. One night I had the ribeye cooked to perfection, the next night I had a pasta with pesto sauce that was aromatic and delicious. I also loved the crisp and buffala pizza. The mussels were soft and tasty and enjoyed the suppli. I would come here again in the future.

I’ll leave a nice review for the hotel also who had a friendly star at the reception named Andreas who assisted me to watch a New York Knicks basketball playoff game via Sky Sports that made the stay at this hotel worthwhile. Not everyone was friendly at reception, but he was a star. ⭐️

It was great to stay and eat here. There’s a lot of options in Rome, but this location is a good secret that deserves more praise. Just need to get other staff to be like these...

This restaurant is literally a hidden gem !!! I normally don’t like to eat at hotels restaurants because the food is “meh” and pricey but reading the reviews here we thought we should give it a chance, it was the best decision ever!!! The best meal we had in rome, the food and the service of course were exceptional, we didn’t expect such quality from a pizza and some tuna but it truly was, the pizza felt like we were at the best pizza place in napoli and the tuna tastef as if we were in the best asian restaurant 🤤 would come back a...
