Agata e Romeo

Frommer's Review

One of the most charming places near the Vittorio Emanuele Monument is this striking duplex restaurant done up in turn-of-the-20th-century Liberty style. You'll enjoy the creative cuisine of Romeo Caraccio (who manages the dining room) and his wife, Agata Parisella (who prepares her own version of sophisticated Roman food). Look for pasta garnished with broccoli and cauliflower and served in skate broth, as well as risotto with saffron, taleggio cheese, rabbit croquettes, and thyme. Other dishes we've enjoyed here include medallions of tuna coated with sesame seeds and served in a sweet and sour sauce, and breaded sole with crisply baked vegetables. For dessert, consider Agata's millefoglie, puff pastry stuffed with almonds and sweetened cream. There's a charming wine cellar with a wide choice of international and domestic wines.
