A first-class fish restaurant

Popular plate: The grilled octopus and the Catalan lobster both deserve star billing.

There isn't a wide selection of seafood restaurants in Rome, but this is one of the better known, conveniently situated in a historic neighbourhood near the Pantheon.

Fresh fish from the Mediterranean or Atlantic coast of France are delivered twice daily for owner and master chef Massimo Riccoli to conjure up his piscine creations. The ingredients are high quality, the preparation simple, and the results stunning.
