Rome restuarant
 

Has anyone dined at La Pergola in Rome?
My husband and I received a gift certificate to this restuarant.

I haven't dined at La Pergola, but in case no one who has responds: It is the principal restaurant of the Cavalieri Hilton, and many foodies think that it is one of the best restaurants in Italy, although its chef is one Heinz Beck, who is Swiss or German -- or possibly Austrian.

Here is a link to a review of it on SlowTrav.com:

My husband and I dined at La Pergola 2 years ago in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversay. It was a wonderful restaurant. We had seen a lot of good reviews of the food. However, in addition to the food we were looking for a restaurant with a good view of Rome. This has that also, unfortounately for us the night we were there, there was bad weather and a lot of fog. However, the food was wonderful. At the end of the meal they brought out a silver box about 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide. It had a lot of little drawers and in each of the little drawers was something sweet to eat. I will never forget that. Also, when we first sat down they handed us a water list of about 100 different bottled waters to choose from.
