The setting is elegant, the food delicious, and the service ultra-attentive. Executive chef Fabio Baldassare (former sous-chef to La Pergola's legendary Heinz Beck) turns out beautiful Mediterranean dishes at this upscale eatery. Pastas are flavored with a delicate hand (thin Roman broccoli ravioli in a truffle-scented sauce); secondi, such as swordfish with cauliflower emulsion in a Beluga caviar and orange sauce balance earthy, salty, and tart tastes beautifully. Still, the portions on each course range from restrained to barely there. Desserts, however, are exquisitely prepared and presented and homemade bread, assagini (little nibbles), and courteous service help ease the wait between courses.

Did a restaurant tour of Rome in September 2007. L'Altro Mastai was one of my choices. Excellent foodm wine and service, not cheap, but worths it. After missing our flight and gained two extra nights I rushed to revisit it again. Well Done. Strongly reccomend:
Beef tartare with mango and red beets ice-cream
Pig-head ravioli with buffalo mascarpone cheese and broccoli
Braised cheek of veal with parsley sauce
