This restaurant is very recommended, not only thanks for their dishes but also the great view from the top of the hill. It's situated on the top of the Montemario hill.
There is no obstruct around so you can overlook the wonderful city of Rome from the inside and outside of the restaurant.
The spacious restaurant is used also for some anniversaries and parties of local Italians.
During the dinner time the interior lighting becomes extremely little to complement the night panorama outside.
You know, candlelight only!! It's very romantic!!
