AcquaRoof Terrazza Molinari, Bistrot di mare

I made a reservation online through Fork.it but it was denied for some reason. When our party of three showed up on a Sunday evening with no reservation they accommodated us without hesitation. We were seated promptly and enjoyed the very nice sunset view of Rome. We ordered and our food came out hot and fresh. Everything was so good from the fried fish of the day appetizer to their homemade bread, my main dish of handmade pasta with zucchini and sword fish AND the phenomenal dessert of chocolate cake with caramel sauce and peanut butter gelato. This is one of the BEST meals I have had while living in Rome.

Google photos doesn’t show the beauty of the view :) I’ve chosen this cool rooftop for birthday celebration and haven’t checked their IG. At the point of checking photos here I was sure that food I will be grate and service must be excellent, but had some hesitation and thought about booking another restaurant. When we arrived there were no more hesitation, it was perfect choice with the atmosphere, good lounge music on a background, excellent service and gorgeous view to Rome, its nice trees, birds and lovely sunset. Great variety of seafood and my favorite scallops. The only problem for me was scallops were served with bacon which looked nice as a composition, but I couldn’t eat it. They changed it for me without doubts and I enjoyed my appetizer. Desserts were served in deconstructed form

"Best" place to go if you have Amex dining credit burning a hole in your pocket. Otherwise, I’d strongly recommend trying one of the other restaurants on the Rome Amex list—or better yet, save your money altogether. If Amex wasn’t footing the bill, I wouldn’t dream of spending my own euro here. Let’s start with the positives: the view. It’s undeniably stunning and a great spot for an evening drink and dinner. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t even come close to matching the scenery. My wife and I had a late lunch earlier in the day, so we decided to dip our toes in with just two appetizers (baby octopus and tuna tartare) before committing to mains or dessert. The presentation was lovely, but the flavors? Disappointingly average. So much so that we stopped at the starters—no mains, no dessert, not even a coffee. As for the oysters on the menu, they’re priced at an eye-watering €12 per oyster. For context, oysters in Paris—a city not exactly known for being budget-friendly—usually cost €3-4 each. At €12, I’m assuming these must be the most mind-blowingly delicious oysters on the planet, though I didn’t dare test that theory. A word of caution for smokers: while they do provide ashtrays, this is not a “cigar-friendly” rooftop, so if you’re envisioning a relaxing evening with a smoke, a drink, and a view, you might want to look elsewhere. All in all, the view is nice—but then again, so are the views from most rooftop bars in Rome. Thanks to Amex for picking up the tab, but I’d highly suggest delisting AcquaRoof from your global dining selection. We came for the view, stayed for the credit, and left unimpressed.

I really enjoyed having lunch here. We were warmly welcomed by a hotel staff member at the entrance and kindly guided to the rooftop restaurant. The restaurant offers an excellent view of the city, and the food was just as impressive. Everything was perfectly cooked, bringing out the subtle essences of the ingredients.

Delicious food and attentive wait staff in an absolutely gorgeous setting. Relaxing and romantic. Definitely recommend.

Came here twice for aperitivo and really enjoyed the view—especially looking out toward Villa Medici and the church domes in the distance. It’s a great place to soak in the Roman atmosphere. Not a huge selection of soft drinks, but the cocktails are solid. Service was okay, nothing special, but the setting makes up for it

I have been here multiple times. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and staff. Food is delicius, I usually have the raw fish/shrimps and oysters platter, plus spaghetti with vongole. This place totally deserves a visit, I would recommend on a sunny spring day at lunch time!

Nice view and vibe - come here for drinks and definitely not food. Food is subpar, even for Rome tourist area standard. Very salty and nothing special.
