8.5/10+4Very good service and food, particularly liked the appetizers and desert. Interesting wine pairings, my only negative would be I felt the sea bass entry was very lacking compared to the rest of the meal

10/10+4Spectacular dinner with outstanding service, ambiance, and food that is elevated and "eatable". Items brought by the chef before dinner little works of delicious art. A radish to cleanse the palate that was such an amazing mouthful. Fantastic wine pairings from vineyards around Italy making small batches. Plan for 3+ hours to enjoy the full experience. Gracious hosts. This is a must-eat stop for food and wine lovers. Not overly fussy.

9/10+1Food was explorative and tasty, also catered to my non-alcoholic requests for drink pairing (kombuch- and dessert wines). Service was top notch, and explanations were clear.

7/10Food was not fantastic, but also not extremely horrible. I always opt for the most extensive tasting menu to get the best out of the restaurant, and I was disappointed. Wine pairing was a disaster, especially for two of the chosen white wine. One smelled like wet cardboard and another one smelled like nail polish remover (after eating at more than 30 Michelin restaurants with wine paring; this was the second time I sent the wine back). The sommelier did change the wine to the most ordinary safe choice of Chardonnay for me, albeit he insisted that those two faulty glasses were in good condition. I was confident enough to have a third person or the chef to come out and smell the wine, but you know, it’s business for them and it’s his words against mine. What can I say, it’s Rome; just don’t have too high expectations, so you won’t be disappointed.

10/10+1One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Food was amazing, staff were so professional and we even got to meet the chef. Really great experience.

10/10From the moment you enter the restaurant, every detail is thoughtfully considered. From the selection of cutlery and dishes to the amazing attention by the staff, this experience far exceeded my expectations. That doesn’t even include the exceptional food! The meal was absolutely amazing.

10/10This is one of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and very attentive. The restaurant had amazing ambience and decorations. The food was delicious, unique, and beautifully presented, and the entire experience more than lived up to the restaurant's Michelin star. Yet, even among Michelin star restaurants I have visited in my life (I have visited around 15 of them across the world), Idylio is my favorite so far. If I come back to Rome, I would definitely love to visit again.

9/10Fantastic service and great ambiance. Much of the food was fantastic but some of it was a miss. Overall a good experience and worth experiencing once!

10/10+6Everything went above and beyond our expectations. You absolutely receive your money’s worth when placing the experience in the context of other tours and attractions around Rome; you are receiving an elegant food tour delivered by knowledgeable, consummate professionals. Chef wonderfully accommodated my girlfriend, who is vegetarian, and we both enjoyed a six course experience filled with flavor and surprises. The wine pairing also fabulously elevated the experience. The staff was friendly and never interrupted during eating or conversation. Cannot recommend enough.

10/10The food is excellent, and the service is impressive; the only thing I would raise a flag for is that they ask us (a party of 2 in my case) to order the same pasta and main course because the chef usually prepares more or any other reason. Since I am dairy intolerant and do not eat fish, and the two tasting menus are heavily based on fish, they opened an exception, and my friend could choose what he wanted from the different options on the menu. A tasting menu is usually already restrictive; given the starting price of this specific restaurant, there is no justification for not allowing each person from the table to choose what it prefers from the tasting menu. Also, the main course could be slightly bigger.

10/10Amazing tastes from Asia applied with delicate care to create delicious works of art. Most impressive is the signature dish created by the chef himself. Generally chefs of this stature have desert chefs who create deserts, and mostly disappointing. Not here.

10/10This place exceeded me and my husband’s expectations! The ingredients, flavors, and techniques used throughout the 6 courses were exceptional, impressive, and we left feeling very satisfied and comfortably full. We loved the flow of the menu and were excited about what the next course would taste/be like. Although everything tasted phenomenal, the breaded sea scallops and black truffle was our favorite. The servers and ambiance were great, and Chef Apreda even came out and said hi to us (compliments to the chef)! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Idylio and definitely recommend.

10/10Culinary Heaven! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at this magnificent restaurant and it was an experience I'll cherish forever. From the moment I stepped in, the warm ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable - attentive, yet never intrusive. The menu offered a delightful array of culinary treasures, each dish more exquisite than the last. The chef's artistry was evident in every bite, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The presentation was nothing short of a masterpiece. I must commend the staff for their knowledge and passion for the cuisine, providing insightful recommendations that elevated the dining experience. The wine pairings were impeccable, enhancing the flavors of each course. Every detail, from the elegant table settings to the impeccable timing of each course, was orchestrated to perfection. The atmosphere was both lively and intimate, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. Without a doubt, this restaurant has set a new standard for fine dining in the city of Rome. I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights. If you're seeking an extraordinary dining experience, look no further - this is the place to be!

10/10Excellent birthday dinner, high end price matched the total experience, with great wine recommendations provided. The fusion foods were delicious. The experience went a bit longer than we planned for, but we enjoyed every course. The service was great and ambience was lovely.

10/10Our first time at a Michelin Star restaurant and it did not disappoint. Every dish on the tasting menu got the “Oh my god” result we wanted. Service was amazing too. My only regret is we were on vacation in Rome and leave tomorrow so I’ll never know what the courses we didn’t try tasted like.

10/10Chef Apreda and his staff provided a remarkable dining experience. We arrived a bit before 9pm and were taken for a gastronomic adventure over the next 3 hours. We chose the seasonal tasting menu, then sat back and were served 6 remarkable courses that included a complete palate of ingredients, flavors and textures. It was truly like eating art. Everything about our evening was brilliant. The service was outstanding and the setting was elegant.

10/10We made a reservation at Idylio to cap off our last day of a 3-week vacation in Europe. I wasn't sure what to expect with our 13-year old daughter, who is very picky, and 16-year old son. The seating areas are very private and quiet, and the service was outstanding. We had the traditional tasting menu and let the servers decide on some wine pairings (we went with three glasses). Everything was perfect, and my daughter ate everything and really enjoyed it, as did the rest of us. At the end of the evening, the chef walked around and chatted with the various guests, and when it was time to head back to the hotel and pack, a taxi was arranged and was ready to go. Overall, excellent! We would definitely return.

9/10+10we were on a busnesse trip in Rome on 24th june 2023. We already ate at 2 starred restaurants in Rome. Now we want another. we asked to pros thst worked in food service in Rome, and IDYLIO was their advice. The zna in Rome in very central, between hyastorical places. Location is nice and restaurnat is connect to a top hotel. Personnel seemed smart and gentle. we went for "IDYLIO'S BUTTERFLY" menus, composed of: Ricciola e Nduja, Piselli e Galanga Capesante impanate e Tartufo Nero Quaglia e Seppia alla Lavanda, Tartufo e Foglie di Capperi Dolce Mozzarella di Bufala Meals are well prepared, and better presented. A Lot of little intermediate appetizers where served. Wine list is dencent, and we did choice an italian blanc, Pio di Cesare Chardonnay, and a crémant d'alsace rosé brut. The did present their petite patisserie, a must ina starrred.

5/10Some good and bad dishes - Super salty chicken - to the point of non edible Service didn't follow, we say it's salty, they just say nothing, take back the full plate : no excuse, no way to change that dish.. A mistake happens, but just not taking responsibilities for a 150 euros dish is like non acceptable... - Early appetizers : big lack of creativity. The bread was very good, so jsut putting bread as early apetizers would suffice.

4/10+1Ambiance felt like I was at a High School Dance, 6 staff watching at all times. Felt like I could barely talk without staff listening in. Food was overrated and overpriced. I paid $600 to get diarrhea…

10/10+9One word....Exceptional! okay , two words...BRAVO! From the first moment I walked in, being personally greeted by Chef Aprevada, to the seemingly non-stop courses of gastronomic delights, ending with the final sips of my tawny port & espresso. It simply was magnificent, and far more deserving than a single Michelin star...just sayin.
