Controcorrente

What a way to spend our last dinner in Rome. Read some good reviews and after a short taxi from our hotel we found this amazing restaurant. Service was great, spare rib appetizer was great. Large wine selection. Started with pasta and it was some of the best we’ve had. Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe followed by filet with mushrooms and tagliata steak. Dessert was awesome, de constructed tiramisu was delicious and almond basket just as good and very unique. Highly recommend.

The food was excellent and beautifully plated. The staff was attentive and responsive. If you are caught near FCO and have time for dinner- we highly recommend.

Perhaps the greatest meal we’ve had in Italia! Ever. For perspective, we’re in Italy 10 times a year for 14 days at a time or more, from north to south, east west, Sardegna to Sicily. The owner is spectacular and service is remarkable. We will be back. Hidden local gem.

We were wanting to end our vacation with a nice dinner. This restaurant was within walking distance from our lodgings. We were pleased with the attentiveness of the staff as well as the quality of the food. Even though we arrived at 22:30 we were treated like guests of honor and the food was remarkable. Attention was given both to presentation as well as taste. We ordered a variety of dishes and nothing disappointed. Our favorite was the cheese platter. Amazing… We only wish we could dine here without having to travel all the way to Rome. ???? Absolutely 5 stars ⭐️

This was a wonderful find on our last night in Italy before flying home. The food was excellent, the service and hospitality outstanding. We asked for recommendations from our server who was patient with our (very!) limited Italian and everything she suggested exceeded expectations. This trip was in celebration of an important anniversary for us, and this restaurant made our last night joyful and delicious!
