Rome is the two-faced city of love. It is no coincidence that the Eternal City is considered one of the most romantic cities in the world. It is also chosen by those who do not live there every day to propose marriage (perhaps in front of the Trevi Fountain) or swear eternal love in one of the many fairytale locations in this great city. If you want to treat your sweetheart to a magical evening or simply impress them, try one of these romantic restaurants in Rome.
Il Fungo – EUR
This historic restaurant in Rome is truly one of the most beautiful. The amazing view of the city, the exquisite dishes, and the elegance of the location characterize it. It is located on the 14th floor and allows you to dine at high altitude in an intimate and welcoming setting. The appetizers, first courses, and fish main courses are good, and the menu changes according to the season. It is not cheap, but it can be the right choice for celebrating a special event. Average price per person: about 90 euros.
Terrazza Borromini – Center
A timeless place where the eternity of Rome is celebrated. This beautiful terrace overlooks the wonderful Piazza Navona and Bernini’s beautiful Fontana dei Fiumi. If you want to breathe in the atmosphere of yesteryear, what could be better than dining in Palazzo Pamphilj? The restaurant is located on the fourth floor of the building designed by Borromini in the 17th century. The menu is inspired by Roman tradition, and you can eat both meat and fish. Here too, given the location, the average price per person is around $100 (depending on what you order).
Il Caminetto – Parioli
This historic family-run restaurant, established in 1959, is located in the Parioli district in northern Rome. If you are looking for a cozy and traditional place, Il Caminetto is the right choice. The portions are generous, and the menu offers a wide selection of traditional Roman dishes and seafood. Artichoke lovers will also find artichokes alla Giudia. Average price per person: $60-70.
Dolce – Trieste District
A truly charming and unique restaurant in the beautiful Trieste neighborhood. The dishes are out of the ordinary, even inspired by Eastern cuisine. The great thing is that if you like to eat, the portions are definitely generous, not to mention the desserts. In fact, we recommend trying their DIY tiramisu, which you assemble right at your table. They bring you everything you need: the coffee machine, the cream, and the ladyfingers. Average price per person: 50 euros.
DeRoma
Imagine taking a romantic evening stroll with your sweetheart, admiring the sunset from the top of the Spanish Steps and then taking her to dinner at a chic restaurant nearby. A few steps from the Spanish Steps is DeRoma – Farine Romane, a refined, slightly retro restaurant with an intimate atmosphere. Ideal for a romantic evening, perhaps to impress on a first date, this restaurant offers a variety of tasty options – both meat and fish – and an extensive menu of traditional pizzas or pizzas with a refined twist.
