4.8 / 5.0(4,625 reviews)

Every meal at CiPASSO was absolutely perfect — 5 out of 5 for both taste and presentation. Each dish looked beautiful and tasted even better. The pasta was fresh and full of rich Italian flavor, and the meat was tender and cooked just right. I actually found this restaurant through the Michelin Guide app, and after dining here, I can totally see why it’s featured. The quality and attention to detail make it feel like a place that truly deserves a Michelin star in the future. The service was so lovely and warm. The staff were friendly, helpful, and took the time to explain the dishes. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant — perfect for a relaxing dinner in the heart of Rome. Every plate was like a little piece of art, and everything we tried was delicious from start to finish. It’s rare to find a restaurant where food, service, and atmosphere all come together so perfectly. When I visit Rome again, I’ll definitely come back to CiPASSO. It’s an unforgettable experience and one of the best meals I’ve had in Italy. Highly recommended! What an amazing experience dining at CiPASSO. Will highly recomend to anyone visiting Rome. We booked a table with them for 6 people for a celebration while we were in Rome. They offered us a table in a private setting, which was very nice and suited us really well. The staff were very nice and attentive, checking regularly if everything was okay and to our liking. The food was amazing. We had the scallops and crispy eggs as starters, along with a basket of bread. The scallops was a standout for me personally. Then everyone had a pasta for the main course, the parpadelle and duck, lobster linguine and the black truffle tagliolini. Since white truffles were in season we were offered to swap out the black truffles for the white truffles. We opted for that in one of the courses and it certainly did not dissapoint. We also had some wonderful sides and desserts. We all found it hard to pick one favorite since everything was to our liking. This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant from our visit to Rome. We had an amazing Lunch! The food is really refined and very nicely presented. Our waiter Robinson was an amazing host and his local wine recommendation was spot on to our choice of dishes. We can highly recommend and would go back for sure!

A perfect Roman lunch We visited CiPASSO with our two kids and had a wonderful lunch. Every dish was cooked with love, you can taste the quality and care. The artichokes were incredible, and the truffle dishes absolutely delicious. Sitting outside made it even more enjoyable. Thank you to the team for a lovely experience!
