Valerio ristorante di pesce — Restaurant in Rome

Ordered wild salmon tartare with avocado, aglio olio pasta and seafood pasta. Salmon tartare was ok, but surprised to see avocado with some black patches which already had mold it. Pasta was the worst I ever had in a restaurant/cafe. Overcooked and tasteless. It’s prob the first time we both left more than half of our food despite our best efforts to not waste food. Also when they said seafood, they were referring to clams only. This is not an expensive restaurant, but their prices are not the cheapest either. So I’m sure it’s not too much to expect moldless avocados and properly cooked pasta.

The server did ask if everything is ok when clearing our pasta-filled plates and that was when I gave him the feedback. I told him the pasta is overcooked, to which he just shrugged his shoulders and gave the ‘too bad for us’ look. He didn’t try to ask the chef, offer a change of food or any explanation. Service definitely wasn’t good to begin with and service recovery an alien concept to them too.

I’ve provided quite a few reviews on Other platforms before and this is the first negative review I’ve ever given in any platform. The entire experience was so bad that I felt an obligation to...

This restaurant is overpriced for what you get. When you're paying 20€ for a salmon tartare, you expect more than a tiny portion with a fish scale in it! While the food tasted decent, it lacked originality. Half of the dishes we ordered had the same potato and onion purée base, and the sweet chili sauce tasted like something from the store. The portions are incredibly small, even for the city center. The service was good, but the outdoor seating left much to be desired, with slanted tables making it uncomfortable. Our bill came to just over 100€ for two appetizers, two main courses, and a single glass of wine. It wasn’t enough food, and we ended up going somewhere else for dessert. Even with a discount, we probably wouldn’t be...

3.5 stars. We had the 50€ starter of raw fish and it was very good. We then had a main, some pasta with vongole and bottarga. Unfortunately the main wasn't on par with the starter. There were literally 3 clams each. The pasta was bland to say the least, you couldn't taste the sea at all (we thought they had forgotten the bottarga). It felt like the sauce was done separately with parsley and the clams were added as an afterthought. We also got dessert, whipped ricotta with passion fruit sauce, which was good and very light. The service was good and very attentive. We had a £50 discount so we were happy with what we paid, but we probably...
