The Hotpot Restaurant — Restaurant in Rome

Wanting a break from pizza and pasta, we decided to try Le Hotpot. The restaurant had a beautiful and warm ambiance, making us feel welcome immediately. The service was impeccable; I have no complaints. Ordering at Le Hotpot is a unique experience. You choose what you want to include in your hotpot from a tablet provided by the restaurant. For the soup base, we opted for the tomato and the spicy options. While I generally enjoy very spicy food, this soup was extremely spicy, to the point where I couldn't fully enjoy its flavor. So, be cautious with the spice level if you're sensitive to heat. The meats and vegetables were quite fresh, adding to the overall quality of the meal.

The dipping sauces were delicious: the creamy sesame sauce and rich peanut butter sauce spiked with chili, coriander, sesame seeds and spring onions paired lovely with the cooked hotpot ingredients.

The servers were friendly and helpful, however the price is relatively high for having had a mainly vegetarian meal (~30€ per person). The bill is quite messy as all the ingredients are added separately. The server pushed the dipping sauces on us, selling them as an included add on, when in fact we were charged for each dipping sauce. More pricing transparency would be...

We recently dined at La HotPot and had a wonderful experience. Hotpot was a god break from the pasta and pizza while visiting Rome. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive, even though we didn't have a reservation. The casual atmosphere added to the enjoyment. The food was delicious, with a diverse selection of meat and vegetables, complemented by delightful sweet drinks. However, the broth oiliness was a slight downside, and providing soup spoons and deeper plates would enhance the dining experience. Nonetheless, we highly recommend La Hot Pot for a...
