    Incredibly fresh and high quality. From the appetizer through first and second course, we were treated like special guests. The ambiance was calm and service was excellent - we highly recommend this location that is away from the touristy areas, and absolutely worth the trip!

    We went to Chiaroscuro for dinner with friends and had an amazing experience. The staff reserved the VIP room for us, an intimate setting with attentive service throughout the evening. We were welcomed with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and a small entrée, a lovely touch that set the tone. The seafood-focused menu was carefully curated from starters to dessert, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Excellent wine selection, impeccable service, and a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. A truly memorable dining experience

    A €30 lobster pasta. The pasta is raw. The sauce is so salty that it tastes bitter

    Food very good, in every aspect: freshness of ingredients, recipes, preparation in kitchen and presentation on the plate. Ambiance very pleasant. Prices fair when a discount of 20% is applied. Tiny improvements on the part of service possible (but immediately corrected when the matter was raised). A sincere recommendation.

    Food is very good in every aspect: ingredients, recipes, preparation and presentation on the plate. Wine list offers sufficient choice at decent prices. The service team is, most evidently and pleasantly, trained, motivated and attentive; it could have been even perfect by removing the plates of a course only when BOTH guests have finished. The interior of the restaurant convinces with its unobtrusive and pleasant elegance. All in all, a clear recommendation.

    We celebrated a birthday in this restaurant in a very nice atmosphere, with very friendly staff and with an excellent menu. The restaurent is surely not cheap, but the price value ratio is excellent. We got a very tasty menu to a VERY reasonable price. Without hesitation will we come back to this place. Thanks for making this an unforgettable evening..

    I found this restaurant from internet, but I really liked it. Their main guests were local people, and it proves that it is loved by them. If you want to have a good seafood at Rome, you can visit here. I went there two days in a row and I will introduce it to my friends.

    We’ve been in Rome twice in the past five years. There are a million great restaurants. This is the only one we’ve been to twice. Enough said. Outstanding once again. We’ll see you again 5 years from now. 👍🏻

    Lovely restaurant with delicious, refined cuisine. I would only suggest the lighting be softened a little for more atmosphere. But the main attraction is the large menu with delicious choices at reasonable prices. I lowered the food score just because I didn't care for the stracchetti di spigola -- would have been better as a filet, but the quality was good. We will definitely go back.

    Amazing service and great food. The ingredients were very fresh. The cooking of the seafood was simple but showcasing the true Flavour of the fishes. This would be a restaurant I would visit on a regular basis if I were to live in Rome. Fantastic experience overall ????

    8.5/10

    The service is excellent. The quality of the food is very good. The menu includes dishes beyond the Italian tradition. However, sometime they try new combinations of ingredients which are unsuccessful as in the case of " baccala con lenticchie" ( to be avoided). Price versus quality seems a bit too unbalanced: restaurant a bit too expensive

    A hidden gem. The staff: very friendly and helpful. The food: magnificent and at a very good price. We would visit again when next in Rome. It was a restaurant for special occasions, a date night, or a nice family meal. We loved the thoughtful way they planned the seating of couples, families and friends. The atmosphere: good vibes and happy full bellies. Most importantly not pretentious at all!
