The food and setting were excellent. Unfortunately the service and overall experience was average. Despite mentioning that our evening was a special birthday celebration, there was no acknowledgement of this whatsoever during the evening. The service was ok but it was very “wooden”, we did not feel special as we have done in other less upmarket restaurants. The wine pairing was really disappointing in terms of quality and amount. We did complain about this and in fairness they refunded one of the wine pairing supplements but we would have preferred not to need to. Overall, we had a nice evening as the ambience and food was great, but it was a shame that it wasn’t an amazing and memorable special occasion for us.

Disappointing that you can’t sit outside if you want to have normal dinner, you HAVE TO take the 5 course even if you don’t want to just for sitting outside, very bad And also the service was bad it took very long time they were very stressed and didn’t look at the coustomers

Very good combination of good food, very good service, and fantastic ambiance. The value for money is very good and we will go back again.

Beautiful setting, amazing view of Rome, exquisite dishes (we had the taster set menu, both the meat and the fish version). My only remarks would be that the asparagus replacing the beef tartare were a bit bland, but certainly lighter, whilst I found the carbonara with tartufo a bit heavy for August in Rome. The taste was excellent nevertheless. Excellent wine list and service too.

Outside dining is only prefixed menu which they don’t explain ahead of time. Food was good, just ok. Service was pretentious and not called for as it was not packed.

The whole experience was underwhelming. From the doorman who didn’t tell us how to get to the restaurant, no napkins on the table & warm white wine which the waiter tried to tell us was because our glasses were warm. I’m a restaurateur. The glasses should never be warm at the table, and this is an expensive restaurant . However the bottle of white was room temperature, he was just BSing us. Other guests had baseball hats on and another table were in shorts and flip flops. Stunning view but just not worth it.

We arrived at settimo last night for a meal and was treated exceptionally from start to finish. We ordered the truffle carbonara and the beef filet with pumpkin and mushroom and were blown away with the flavours! Hands down the best meal we have ever had, so good that we had to order another main just to see what else they had to offer. We shared the tortellini cacao filled with beef stew. And finished it all off with some green apple/ lemon / strawberry sorbet and a tiramisu. 100/10 would highly recommend for a romantic dinner with stunning skyline of Rome and sunset views.

Although they offer the best view we could find in the area, the service was disappointing. It took 20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged we were there, and then they never came back to check once we were served. We had delicious sea bass and wine, but the diner was smaller then an appetizer and the wine pour was the smallest we’ve ever seen.

The service was EXCELLENT and the food was Fabulous! The view overlooking the city was also spectacular, even on a cloudy night. From the cocktails to dessert, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal.

Excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommend going when visiting Rome. Restaurant is beautiful and even got shown the terrace even though it was closed. Would be beautiful in the summer.

Easy to find, beautiful views but the food was average, I ordered a seafood dish and the prawns weren’t as described. The pasta itself was good but I was disappointed about the lack of explanation

Location is one of the best. Super cool terrace overlooking the city, with a fantastic vibe, cool music, modern appearance with traditional Roman touches. Cocktails are delicious. Wine recommendation was perfect. Food was a little disappointing. Antipasti was fine. Primi came with the wrong type of pasta. Secondi seafood was not so tasty. We skipped dolce. Service was friendly, but missed that extra attention - for the prices we were surprised to be pouring our own wine and waiting long periods for the plates to be removed. Getting kicked out at 9:30 for the next guests was known by us in advance, but somehow it feels like you’re being hurried along when the bill arrives at 9:15 without asking for it.

When we arrived for our reservation, the team that greeted us seemed out of sorts and confused in general. They took us to a temporary table while we waited for our actual table outside. We were left at the temporary inside table for no apparent reason, because the outdoor rooftop seating area where our table was, was almost empty. Once we were seated, we were left without anyone greeting us for 15-20 minutes. As soon as the waiter arrived there was no greeting, only a “you ready”? We had to ask for a wine menu to order our drinks and once our food was delivered I never saw our waiter again. The light went out on our table lamp during our dinner and we had to track someone down after waiting for 10 minutes with no one stopping by. When we asked for a replacement lamp so we wouldn’t have to eat in the dark, the waiter looked annoyed. Overall, the service was poor and the food was mediocre at best. The ambiance and views were nice.

The last time we were visiting Rome, we dined at Settimo and had a wonderful experience. This time around we decided to come and celebrate the end of our honeymoon in Italy the night before we left to go back home. It was the worst dining experience we had in quite some time. We decided to show up thirty minutes early to have pre-dinner drinks to watch the sunset over Villa Borghese where I actually proposed to my wife a couple of years ago. The hostess sat us at the perfect table outside and a waiter came over to take our drink order. At 7pm, the time of our reservation, the hostess brought us the food menu and a shortly after our waiter came to take our order. We decided to order a starter but wanted time to decide on entrees so the waiter offered to come back shortly to take our entree orders. Someone did come out to deliver our starter but our waiter never came back out. 40 minutes later, I went inside to ask the hostess if the waiter had forgotten us. She said she would consult her colleague and someone would be right out. 10 minutes went by and no one came to talk to us. At this point, the sun was down and the temperature dropped around 20 degrees and it got pretty windy. Everyone who was sitting outside asked to move inside. We were the only people sitting outside at this point so we decided to grab our menus and go stand inside to see if someone could serve us. Our waiter passed us by and asked if we needed a table! He’d clearly forgotten that he just served us 45 minutes ago outside so we reminded him that we had a 7pm reservation and that he’d taken our drink and starter order already. He went to check the list of reservations and confirmed my last name and then sat us a new table and took our food order and then disappeared again. He told us he’d come back to take our drink order but we eventually had to flag down another waiter to place our drink order. We didn’t see anyone until our food and drinks finally came out. We finished our food and drinks pretty quickly and had hoped to order dessert but no one came to check in on us. Several waiters were servicing the tables surrounding us, just not us. Finally, we decided to flag the waiter down who took our drink order and asked for the check. He brought that to us about 10 minutes later and we waited for him to take our payment but again after 15 minutes we got up and proceeded to the hostess stand with the bill. He came over, took my card, swiped it and handed me the receipt and didn’t say anything to me. There were no apologies for the poor service or explanation. It was quite disappointing as we got their early to start our evening and didn’t leave until 9:00pm! They didn’t even have that many tables and perhaps could have been short staffed but no one came by to give us any explanation or apology. It’s outstanding that you can have one great experience at a restaurant only to return and have the opposite experience. I’m sad to say we won’t be returning to Settimo ever again. Perhaps they didn’t like our kind at this restaurant? I hate to insinuate this but they way we were treated had us questioning why we were treated this way.
