Excellent value for the centre of Rome. Located between Trevi fountain and colloseum. Recommend the full sea bass.

Firstly our waitress Lyla was the nicest person I had the pleasure of meeting, her recommendations were spot on and she was so sweet. The food was divine, by far the best I have eaten in Italy. Would definitely go back if I were to come back.

My wife and I recently dined at Sphaeristerium, and overall, it was a very, very cool restaurant with truly incredible ambiance. The atmosphere alone makes it a worthwhile visit! The food was remarkably fresh. For an appetizer, we tried the mixed meat appetizer for two. While decent, I'd probably skip it next time and opt solely for the carpaccio or beef tartare, which I imagine would shine on their own. However, the pasta was the real highlight! We were incredibly impressed. The Carbonara, in particular, was absolutely mind-blowing – an unforgettable dish that I would highly recommend. The service was okay. We were seated in a private room, which meant we didn't have staff checking in on us very frequently. That said, when they did, they were friendly and pleasant. Despite the slightly less frequent check-ins due to our private room, the overall experience, particularly the amazing ambiance and the truly excellent pasta, makes Sphaeristerium a place I'd happily recommend.

Food was ok, but I have had better in Rome. Meat was dry and a little bit overcooked. However, the starter and dessert were delicious.

I don't recommend it at all. Poor service, slow waiters busy clearing and cleaning tables while customers wait to order their food. You call them, and they don't come. It took over 40 minutes to serve us a single pasta dish. The waiters are eating and the dining room is empty. High prices that don't match the quality of the food.

Wow! We made a reservation last minute - the restaurant is downstairs so you won’t see it walking by. My group all loved their dishes but the zucchini flower pasta is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten!!

Service is nice and the tartare was okay. The magnum fried meat was raw inside… First course, tartelli, was very nice, gave the idea to have some cream in it. Second course was ok. Could improve surely.

I've been a regular at this restaurant, primarily for their excellent controfiletto. However, on my recent visit, they've made changes to their menu. While the food is still delicious, I was a bit disappointed to see that my favorite dish has been altered. Despite these changes, the quality of the food remains high. It's worth noting that they haven't updated their menu yet to reflect these modifications, which can be a bit confusing for returning customers. Overall, it's still a good dining experience, but I miss the original controfiletto I used to enjoy here.

We discovered a new delicious spot in Rome. Excellent service and a friendly staff. All the dishes were beautifully prepared. The Tartare di manzo con melanzane alla norma, stracciatella di bufala e pasta kataifi was perfectly made—the meat melted in the mouth and was hand-cut. The Controfiletto di manzo (250g) con senape al miele, served with roasted potatoes, was an incredibly tender beef cut. For dessert, we had the Cheesecake Frutti di bosco / Pistacchio, which was also delightful. It’s rare to find a restaurant with such good cuisine in a highly touristy area. The dining space was small and quite simple in decor, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. We will definitely be coming back!
