La Barrique - Roma

After two nights of chaotic dining in Trastevere (noisy, crowded and impossible to get a desirable table without advanced reservation, it was a real pleasure to find this spot in quieter Monti. We were served by Matteo (whose brother commands the kitchen). He was extremely accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed delicious swordfish rolls; pumpkin, bacon and pecorino pasta; and pasta with burnt cherry tomatoes. All were excellent. Two of us started with their twist on a spritz (not Aperol) and our friends started with a house red. We finished the meal with two crème brûlées split between us. We would not hesitate to return or recommend this fine restaurant with outdoor seating.

There not a lot more to say than simply amazing. Started with the freshest oyster, moved onto 2 pasta dishes cheese pepper… tagliolini with salmon. Both dishes were simply perfect however the star of the show was the tiramisu. Not being a fan of the desert I was apprehensive however, it was the best desert I’ve ever had in my life. What an experience the whole meal was. If you’re considering dining here, you will NOT be disappointed.

We booked this restaurant for 2 never found it as it was closed for works (we guess? . Booking confirmed over the phone but never had the evening out. Other families/couples were looking for it but there was not note or indication from the owner. Very disappointing.

Our evening barrique was the perfect packaging for our trip. our waiter/server claudio was fantastic, very friendly. our appetizer was great, and the first cure was divine (salmon pasta, spaghetti and meatballs). the 2nd curs was just as good (folding and heavy fish). give them time to find their second wind, eat it is worth it. only a great atmosphere overall and will miss us roma.

Amazing eating with the best owner / service, a really beautiful authentic experience. I'm always coming here when I'm in rom.
