What about Allard? Is it any good now or has gone downhill?

Also any comments for L'Auberge Bressane?

Nobody knows Le Pere Claude? From what i'm reading it is a favourite of Jacques Chirac and many other politicians and French celebrities.

A colleague of mine who has been in Paris recently recommends Le Grand Cobert and Le Pere Claude.

Any opinions on these 2?

Thank you f or all the replies.

Ok Chez Dumonet seems like the best option. Are you sure they take reservations at 10 or a bit after 10?

I need to make a reservation for a restaurant in Paris on a Friday night in about a month;s time around 10-10.30pm in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th arrondisement

I;m considering the options of Chez L'Ami Jean, Le Fontaine de Mars, Chez Dumonet, Chez Denise.

I want a restaurant that has the following characteristics:
1. can accept a reservation at around 10-10.30pm
2. Good traditional food
3. Not very formal
4. Tables NOT very close to each other so you are practically sitting with other people

Please let me know if any of the 4 above restaurants fulfills the above requirements and PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

What are your opinions on the above?

Ditirambo
Piazza della Cancelleria, 73, Rome, Lazio 00186, IT

Il Tempio di Iside
Via Pietro Verri, 11, Rome, Lazio 00184, IT

Something Tuscan.

In Rome in the Via Veneto area there are two famous Tuscan restaurants, Girarrosto Fiorentino and Al Vero Girarrosto Toscano.

Which one would you recommend, which one is considered better?

Girarrosto Fiorentino
Via Sicilia, 46, Rome, Lazio 00187, IT

Ok many thanks for the advice and the recommendations

I have a question%3

Restaurants like Assunta Madre, Santa Lucia, La Pentolaccia, Dal Bolognese, Antica Pesa and Palazzacio are supposed to be some sort of "celebrity" hot spots, some of the websites of these restaurants are full of pictures of celebrities (recent ones) who visited the restaurants and in various internet reviews (Frommer's, Fodor's etc) many of them are described as famous and well known restaurants.

Others like Girarrosto Fiorentino and Ambasciata d'Abruzzo mention on their websites that their famous clientelle includes Meryl Streep, Francis Ford Coppola, Mel Gibson, Willem Dafoe.

lso most of these places are well reviewed and recommended by websites like Tripadvisor, frommer's, Gambero Rosso etc.

Yet all these restaurants are very rarely discussed here, if not at all. What is the reason? Are these not good restaurants? Were they once good restaurants and not now?

Is it just to keep the crowds away and keep them more exclusive? (although this can hardly be the case for Dal Bolognese)

Can someone please explain?

I would like your recommendations based on your experiences or what you have heard about the following restaurants reputations:

Taverna Trilussa
Santa Lucia
Girarrosto Fiorentino
Porto di Ripetta
La Pentolaccia
Maccheroni
Flavio al Velavevodetto
La Gensola (open until the 12th of Aug)

Also if you know of any places that will be open in August and you would recommend please let me know.

We like good traditional unpretentious food (not fans of fusion and creative cuisine), good service and nice atmosphere without the place being too stuffy. Money not an object.

Has anyone ever been to Il Caminetto in Parioli? Is it any good?
And something else - Anyone knows which restaurants are open during August?

Mainly restaurants in central rome or not very from the centre.

Mainly. restaurants serving traditional Roman cuisine and restaurants serving other types of Italian cuisine. Specific recommendations for good bucatini all'ammatriciana, abbachio alla romana, florentine steak and other dishes are more than welcome.
A few options for seafood as well.

We don't like very modern restaurants with minimalist decorations, we prefer the traditional old-fashioned style.

Money is not an issue.

We are a group of 4 people planning to visit Rome during the summer and we are looking for good restaurant recommendations. We've been to Rome many times before and we love the food there, this time we want it to be even better.

We travel frequently and everywhere we go we research the restaurant options carefully to be able to make the best decisions. We like a restaurant with good food, nice atmosphere and good service, not too formal, not too informal. We don't like the touristy restaurants and we don't like the pretentious places either or the whole " creative touches" cooking trend (unless the food is exceptional). Money is not an issue.

I want to have a TOP 5 RESTAURANTS OPTIONS list consisting of:

2 restaurants serving traditional Roman cuisine
2 restaurants serving other regional Italian cuisine (Tuscan, Calabrian, Emilia-Romagna, Sicilian etc.)
1 Seafood

I would really appreciate any recommendations anyone may have and as I've already started doing my own research i would really appreciate if you could give me opinions and information on the following restaurants:

La Campana
Matricianella
Eleonora D'Arborea
Colline Emiliane
Il Buco
Hostaria Romana
Il Cantuccio
Ditirambo
Da felice a testaccio
Al Ceppo
La Villetta dal 1940

Checchino dal 1887
La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali - Is it a tourist trap now?
Agata e Romeo
Trattoria Monti
Le Maschere

La Pergola - is it worth the money?
