Ristorante El Cubano — Restaurant in Rome

Location/Atmosphere: Not central. In the south-east area of Rome. The place is in a common road in a residential neighbourhood. Not other restaurants or pubs around. The restaurant is small. The only cuban eating place in the capital.

Food: Food is good. Ropa vieja and Manioca are very good. Cocktails too. Prices are good, portions a bit small.

Staff: The staff is nice, but sometimes they don't reply to the phone, they are not very clear... I feel like they are very easy-going, like very much.

Particular features: n/a

On a bad note: a bit out of the downtown area, and not in a very well-lighted neighbourhood.

Suggestions to the restaurant: Toilets could be improved....

We’re a Cuban family traveling Italy for more than a month now, We decided to give it a try to this restaurant, and surprisingly it was one of the best Cuban food we had ever eaten, the fried pork was delicious!!

I love white rice fried eggs and avocado combination, of course that’s not in the menu, I asked if they can possibly make it for me, and they did and it was amazing!! Mojitos were delicious as well. They were very attentive and kind. This place is a hidden gem. Give it a try,...
