Agata e Romeo

Agata e Romeo Review

For the perfect marriage of fine dining, creative cuisine, and rustic Roman tradition, the husband-and-wife team of Agata Parisella and Romeo Caraccio is the top. Romeo presides over the dining room and delights in the selection of wine-food pairings. And Chef Agata was perhaps the first in the capital city to put a gourmet spin on Roman ingredients and preparations, elevating dishes of the common folk to new levels, wherein familiar staples like cacao e pepe are transformed with the addition of even richer Sicilian aged cheese and saffron. From antipasti (try the seafood crudo tasting: it's so artfully presented, it's actually served on a glass plate resembling a painter's palette) to desserts, many dishes are the best versions of classics you can get. The prices here are steep, but for those who appreciate extremely high-quality ingredients, an incredible wine cellar, and warm service, dining here is a real treat.
