9.5/10The staff was really friendly and the tasting menu for valentines day was amazing. The only issue me and my wife had is we were on the terrace and we were the only ones without a heater and it was a cold night. Aside from that the rest of the experience was great.

10/10The most scenic, romantic perfect spot. Wonderful view of the city on the terrace. Has outdoor heaters and blankets so you can enjoy the terrace. The service is excellent. The staff really care about the food and feedback. Food is exquisite. As a nonvegan/nonvegetarian me and my fiancée both thoroughly enjoyed every item in the menu. The staff were also kind enough to offer several complimentary items all of which were wonderful. Would highly recommend this place for any sort of a celebration. Deserves its spot in the Michelin guide.

10/10We’ve been to a fair few Michelin star restaurants from one to three stars. But Mater Terrae was one of the best Michelin experiences we’ve had. An amazing warm welcome began an unforgettable meal in the beautiful city of Rome. Amazing views across the city from the rooftop. Moving to inside to commence the tasting menu with another panoramic view from a wide window. Amazing service, delicious food, lucky weather and amazing cookery from the kitchen brigade made this little restaurant memorable and one on our list to visit many more times in the future. Heartily recommend
Mater Terrae • Owner
Dear guest, it is a pleasure to read that, among many Michelin experiences, this one was so memorable! We work every day to welcome our guests in an exceptional setting and to serve dishes with attention to detail at the table, so that they can discover the many facets of vegetarian and vegan cuisine and savour the authentic flavours of carefully selected organic products. It makes us happy to know that you have understood and appreciated our work. We hope to meet you again soon, perhaps for the new spring menu.

10/10Phenomenal Mediterranean food that the whole family, including kids, really enjoyed. The entire menu is vegetarian though it's unlikely that anyone who's not would notice.
