Intimate experience at Molto
We opted for the first seating, which by definition, offered us a more tailored and individual experience. Not only the choice of table (which we positioned ourselves right in front of the Rotisserie), but a unique interaction with our servers. Choosing for cocktails and wine by the glass allowed us to better pair our options. A shared Raw Chianina beef with asparagine and mustard eggnog appetizer impressively set the stage, for a Traditional Water-and-Flour carbonara, which was light and delicate. The sucking pig was well received, but after the tartare, felt somewhat let down…perhaps spoiled by La Bistecca a day before? Closing off with Ricotta Cannolo (decadent- candied orange with pistachio ice cream?) put the finishing touches on a wonderful meal. Circling back to my first point- attentive service (thanks to our second server who provided a stool for my wife’s handbag…small touches go very far) and personalized attention will have us returning next time we are in the Parioli area.

Read moreThis place is such a hidden gem. The lady at our hotel nearby (Villa Duse) told us it was great and we took her recommendation even though others had better reviews. I have no idea why everyone doesn’t love this place. Elegant. Amazing and creative high end Italian cuisine for a more reasonable price at other places in Rome. The atmosphere was quiet and romantic. Locals clearly love the place but it has the feel of an upscale neighborhood place for sophisticated. They have a retractable roof outside for rain or sun. Lighting inside and out is subtle and soft. Service was amazing. Very attentive and yet not hovering. We stayed after we ate to chat and enjoy the ambiance (real candles and glowing lights) and no one on the serving staff hovered making us feel uncomfortable. They were happy to let us enjoy the atmosphere and dessert cookies and biscotti (clearly made fresh and so tasty and crumbly). The wine selection was perfect. Really can’t say enough about it. I wish it was MY...
Read moreTerrible service. They never ask you if is everything okay with your meal, recommend you something from the menu. They want to serve you as fast as possible and run away from you. If you ask for a coffee or a water be ready to wait for 10 minutes. When they serve you food they don't remember who ordered what, they just throw the plates. When they clean the table they do it with such manners like they don't want you here. Very rude customer service. I would recommend to go there, you can feel the arrogant attitude from every stuff member. Maybe because I am from north of Europe and we used to be treated in a restaurants as a guests.
The kitchen was great, chef made a good job here, we have tried octopus, pork beef, risotto, pasta. Delicious. 5 stars to the kitchen.
Sad that waiters ruin everything and I will not come back to...
