La Mariposa - Roma

We enjoyed a lunch there on Dec. 27th, 2015 and the food was absolutely good. We had spaghetti con le vongole, pasta with stone bass souce (sugo di cernia) and pasta alla mariposa (with clams, mussels, squids, shrips, etc). Than grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, 2 tiramisu, passito wine. Coffe, 2 bottles of water and 1 bottle of Falanghina wine. everything for 88€. We were 3 adults, 1 kid and a dog. Waiters were all absolutely kind and friendly. Very attentive with us and our little daughter who was served for first! We will come back very soon! Thank you

We have visited this place several times over the past 3 years and it never disappoints. Fish is always fresh here, just try the fried calamari or prawns. The pasta, and sauces, are cooked to perfection. A relative of mine tried the spaghetti alle vongole last December and was totally silent while eating. Then he looked up from his plate and remarked that it had to be among the best he 'd ever had (and he 's, well ...seen a few moons!! . The cuisine is typically Italian, very tasty... also not overly salty, which seems increasingly hard to find these days and which some diners may appreciate... The fritture (fried fish dishes are to die for! Looking out over the glistening sea, you feel relaxed and on holiday, instantly (whether you are or not! . The service was very good, even though the place was packed on the day we were there. Aside from ice creams and the usual Italian desserts, such as tartufo and tiramisù (neither of which we have tried , the chef 's Sbriciolata (basically a crumble with custard and/or Nutella is a simple concept that seems to go down rather well with kids, of all ages(! . We usually get to the restaurant by car or get a lift not really sure how you 'd get there otherwise (public transport? . The espresso is quite good. I recall the disabled access being good (all on same level, toilet also quite accessible, no steep steps into a basement! and the corteous staff seem to quite happily cater to special diets, such as vegetarian and GF, on request (including fried fish dishes which can be prepared separately, using GF batter take a bit longer for the oil to warm up, which is fair enough, and also GF ice cream, made with fresh fruit juices! , which is a plus. Compared to some of the places along the seafront, this one doesn 't overcharge for food service. Highly recommended: a digestive stroll along the beach, after lunch... Heaven. Grazie! We will be going again, and again.

I didn’t like the place. We were the only customers at 8 p.m., but we didn't get any decent service. It was loud in the restaurant because waiters were watching television and cooks were listening to music – a door to the kitchen was opened. Fish mix wasn't tasty and very small portion for 17 euro! Tiramisu was dry and obviously cooked in a hurry. Only pizza was tasty but it didn’t save our dinner.

I would like to share it willingly, I would like, xche would be the least, to inform customers when the room remains closed x holidays or x ceased activity, in summary the ravioli to the cernia me' know' have remained transverse, so do not.

Food, environment, welcome and excellent service I recommend it to all really
