Ristorante Campo de’ Fiori — Restaurant in Rome

Passing through Campo de' Fiori, you may miss this hidden gem of a restaurant, located down a side street off of the square which is host to several other establishments. However, I urge you to step off the beaten path, and not let this delightful restaurant pass you by.

For myself and my family, Campo de' Fiori Ristorante provided delicious food (especially seafood), friendly service, and safe accommodations for my severe food allergies to dairy, nuts, and eggs. We were actually recommended Campo de' Fiori Ristorante by a local working at a different restaurant, who mentioned that this is where she always comes to eat. We found her recommendation well-placed, and were delighted to have been referred to such a wonderful place.

Regarding allergies, speaking from my experiences with severe allergies to dairy, nuts, and eggs, the staff here were able to provide me with excellent food, and I always felt confident in my safety while dining here. It is worth noting that one member of our party speaks very good Italian, which is always helpful when communicating allergies in Italy. However, our servers spoke excellent English, and I was pretty generally able to communicate my needs without relying on our Italian speaker in the party. As with many restaurants, allergens present in dishes are represented by numbers next to the menu item. You can ask for the key to this number coding in order to find the menu items most accessible to you.

In terms of food, there was a lot that I was able to enjoy. Delicious complimentary focaccia, which I was very pleasantly surprised was safe for my consumption; amazing fresh oysters on the half shell; a wonderful raw cuttlefish dish, something I had never seen on a menu till then, and which I hope to try again in the future; a beautiful seafood linguine with mussels, shrimp, prawns, clams, calamari, and more (recommended by the person who referred us here, normally served with egg pasta but safely substituted); an excellent fresh pineapple and strawberry dessert; tuna tartare served with several colorful and fresh sauces including strawberry, lemon, avocado, and roasted red pepper; and finally a beautifully cooked grilled salmon with some of the same sauces as the tuna tartare. They also very kindly treated us to some delicious limoncello, one of my favorite drinks. Out of everything that I had here, I loved every single dish, and recommend them all. I only wish I was in Rome longer so that I might try more.

Overall, Campo de' Fiori Ristorante is an amazing restaurant, proving excellent service and safe allergy accommodations, all while serving delicious food. Do not overlook this place; take a stroll down the side street and take a seat for a wonderful meal. I hope so much to...

I hesitated writing a review, but felt I could not let this go without commenting. My review has to do with poor service rather than food. We were simply appalled at the treatment we received at this restaurant. Our waiter was very pushy and insisted that HE should order our wine for us, when all we wanted was a glass of the house red. We were not interested in ordering a bottle (one in our party doesn’t drink). When I then asked for the wine list, I quickly saw there was really nothing within our budget and I asked again, politely, for just a glass of the house red (as listed on the menu). He then brushed me off and said they didn’t have any left of the house wine. In other words, we didn’t let him choose a bottle for us, so we weren’t getting any wine.

He had also only taken the order of two of our party of four and disappeared. When we finally got his attention, we told him we were not happy and leaving, but would like to pay for our sparkling water. He got upset and said he would have to cancel our order - which was surprising since only half our group had actually ordered. The whole experience was chaotic and disappointing. We left more than enough to cover our water and left. I have no regrets walking out. The food may be great, but the service not so much.

We went at little further over to Ai Balestrari Campo de Fiori and had a lovely meal. Fabulous house wine and a very attentive, friendly waitress. I would highly recommend this...

We came here looking for a nice Italian meal with seafood. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. They helped us find a wine that complimented our dinner and matched our budget. Throughout the dinner, the entire wait staff was friendly, making friendly jokes and helping us with plates and drinks.

The location is just off the campo, usually shared and a bit less noisy than other options.

The food was great, with savory flavors that were never too strong, but let the flavors of the ingredients shine through.

The oysters were fresh, with mild sea flavor and a gentle brine. The melon, calamari, and guanciale was excellent, with meaty calamari that went very well with the olive oil and pepper suggested by the waiter. The seafood risotto had a large amount of seafood, cooked very well. The orecchiette was tangy and savory, worth handmade pasta.

The tiramisu was a little sweet, with a fluffy custard and light coffee flavor.

Bonus points: The limoncello was some of the best we've had.

Overall, it was well worth the stop. We had a lovely time and the staff was friendly, fun,...
