10/10Amazing experience at an amazing location. One of the best dining experiences I have had all the way around. The staff was attentive and responsive and proactively asked about food allergies. This rarely happens and I appreciated it as I have an allergy. Will return the next time we are in Rome!

10/10Hands down the best dining experience in all of Rome! We cannot recommend this place more highly. The service went above and beyond and my family felt so special. There were so many little surprises and delights, including a special appetizer, and little candies after dinner. Even though we had 3 children with us the restaurant was kind and welcoming. They even made a special vegetarian hummus plate for our vegan daughter and it was so good! The wine list is excellent and the food was delicious. Our kids were begging to visit again. The restaurant is in the most beautiful hotel. We could’ve stayed in the lobby for hours. It was so beautifully decorated and appointed.

10/10I was transferring through Roma from NYC on my way to Sardinia. I had a lot of time to kill so I showed up early for my reservation and sat in the library room and enjoyed a glass of wine. The place is beautiful, relaxing and the service was perfect. I felt as if I was home in my living room enjoying a glass of wine before lunch. I had been craving a hamburger for a few days now, so I order the jk Cafe burger and truffle fries, both were excellent. This will be my lunch spot whenever I transfer via Roma. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

10/10Great ambiance, relaxed and comfortable restaurant. Service was very good. Food was well prepared, good presentation and delicious. Not too fussy for high end dining. Reasonable pricing on all for the quality and service.

10/10What a gem of a place. The food here was unreal, but most of all the experience was made by the hostess Camilla, she was fantastic and even gave us a few dishes as extras just to taste. The decor is amazing too, and I would go as far as saying it’s the best meal we have had our wholes stay in Rome.

10/10We were visiting Rome on our last stop in Italy before returning home in May, and unfortunately we did not find this gem of a restaurant until the night before we left. Had we found it earlier we would have eaten there a few more times! The food was great, and the service was amazing. My son has life threatening food allergies and they were able to accommodate him without issue (it was extremely difficult to find a restaurant to accommodate him in Rome), and even brought his own basket of bread. I highly recommend this restaurant!

10/10Came here to celebrate my 40yrs birthday and this placed has really delivered! The menu, the armosphere and most importantly, the service, all was perfect. Tartare ingridients were freshest of the freshest, highly recommend! Don' t get intimidated by the price of wine list, the quality of choice is really worth it. We felt very welcomed by the staff, who were so attentive to every detail, this made my special occasion really special. Also I was surprised by a dessert offered by the restaurant, which uplifted our already great experience even more.

10/10I've been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants and have not really suffered through bad service or marginal food at any of them. I have to say that the staff at J.K. exceeded expectations and really set a new bar for service and the experience, backed by some really fine food. My two teenage sons and wife were treated respectfully, weren't pushed and were given honest direction on the menu and on the wine list which ranged from some fairly pedestrian bottles to some truly esoteric labels - both domestic to Italy and foreign. The restaurant is not cheap but the value of the experience, the warmth of the wait staff and restaurateur and food quality created a great experience that my whole family truly enjoyed. We really needed a place like this after slogging through the assembly line fare near the tourist areas.

10/10The food, atmosphere and service are outstanding! This was our second visit to JKCafe and we were greeted like old friends. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful, attentive to our daughters’ nut allergies. The dining room - and the hotel in which it’s located - has a sophisticated yet comfortable vibe. It’s beautiful! We all enjoyed our food and drinks immensely, too! We would highly recommend this lovely restaurant!

10/10I have no words to describe how incredible this dinner was. Me and my partner came here for his birthday and we were both beyond delighted for the incredible food, outstanding service and stunning environment. Diego made our dinner more than special with his humour, kindness and dedication. We were left speechless when they even sang a birthday song for my partner with candles on a cake. Thank you and we cannot wait to come back next time. JK will always have a special place in our hearts.

10/10This place blew our minds. We came here for Christmas Eve dinner as many places in Rome were shut. But the experience here was nothing short of spectacular. We've been to many Michelin 3-stars and Best-* list winners, but the balance of charm, warmth and suavity of the service here has been incredible. The food was delicious and incredibly plated. A little on the pricey side (like any other upscale place) but well worth the visit. One of the few places I would want to come again to.

10/10When I booked a table at Jkcafe I didnt know that it was quite fancy, good thing they didnt turn us away, because we were in our casual/comfortable clothes. It was a great way to celebrate father’s day.

10/10My family and I went to JK Cafe as it was highly recommended during our trip to Rome and it exceeded our expectations. We were sat immediately at the cutest table. The ambiance was romantic, upscale and classy. We were greeted by a manager and our server Sam. Sam was amazing- friendly, funny and attentive. He brought us an appetizer and a dessert to try that we didn’t order (not sure if this was special for us or customary, but either way it was a nice surprise). We ate rib eye, potatoes and 2 different pastas and it was all delicious. Our whole experience was great from start to finish, but the staff made it memorable! Thank you so much!

10/10The food was truly amazing and the service as well. I wish I would have taken 3 course dinner because food is so extremely good and the portions are spot on so no need to worry about needing a wheelchair. So i reccomend everybody go all in, you will not regret it. I got the tenderloin with artichokes which was mindblowing!!! I did not think stake could possibly be this special???????????? love this restaurant????????

9.5/10We had an early Valentine’s Day celebration here and really enjoyed the experience. The food was beautifully presented, tasted amazing and was the right price. Service was impeccable if not a little too attentive for us but everyone was friendly and professional. I would definitely like to visit again.

10/10My partner and I had a beautiful meal in the restaurant - the service was fantastic, the staff were warm, welcoming and extremely professional. The food was lovely with large portion sizes and delicious nibbles sent by the chef. The wine list is extensive and fairly priced. All round a 10/10 experience!

9/10This would have been a ten but the chef was too heavy on the salt. We also had breakfast and asked for the salt to be cut back. Still too salty. Otherwise, an informal spot with the best service in Rome and reasonable for the service atmosphere and wine list. Limited but classical menu.

10/10The meal at JK had the best service we experienced in a restaurant in years. Federico was outstanding at providing a really great meal with lots of recommendations and surprises throughout. The food was incredibly well presented and full of flavor. We loved the interiors and decor of the space. I hope we get to return as it was really really wonderful.
