Canova Tadolini

We stopped here for lunch by coincidence because of the metro strike that forced us to walk through half the city from Termini. Started off with a Spritz and then had different lunch items. I had the amitriciana (recommendation from the waiter) and Tiramisu for desert. Overall a little on the pricier side (probably due to the location) but the pasta was fantastic. The tiramisu was a little dry (more dough than cream) but tasty and not too sweet. Overall a nice lunch spot to take a break when visiting the tourist spots.

Excellent food could not fault it. I had the best Carbonara I've ever tasted, so good if I ever return to Rome, I will be heading back to this restaurant. Not only was the food amazing but the setting also. It's a museum too. 10 out of 10. My phone battery died before I could take a snap of the Carbonara.

Favorite hidden gem of Rome! Every time I’m in Rome and always visit this place! 😍 Coffee is amazing and don’t miss the sweets (especially cannoli 😍). The interior of this place is just… oh wow! It’s like having coffee back in time! 😍 There is a huge area on second floor that can accommodate large groups. 😍 It’s also have a great romantic atmosphere so I would definitely choose this place for a date night! 😍 No need for reservations. Since this is museum cafe, in case you wondered, entrance is free! 😍

Nice cafe fredo 5,5 EUR and atmosphere. The price is more for Italian standard but okay for Munich standard

Coffee was great But prices was incredibly expensive for a Black coffee… That’s €4.3 just one coffee Staff was also rude He tried to take my coffee all the time. Interior of inside was gorgeous…

This resturaunt displays statues that are replicas of the original We didnt eat there tbh but the guy in entrance showed us a tour inside which was very nice of him to do Will definitely stop by to dine next time in in Rome

I went here for an afternoon coffee, had an americano, espresso and of course tiramisu. The ambiance is absolutely incredible and so warm and welcoming and I loved every moment of being there, it felt like a museum of its own and that you’re in the middle of history. The tiramisu was perfection and I loved it and the servers were very nice.

Hands down the best meal in Rome. It came highly recommended by a trusted colleague. After a week, this was the most impressive meal and service by far. We ordered a meat platter starter, the lobster pasta, and truffle special. The pasta tastes fresh and homemade. There was a soft balance of flavors that was just perfect. The truffle was the star for sure - freshly sliced slivers in a delicate sauce. Tiramisu is light and perfect. Best so far. And the ambiance! What a fascinating former art studio - statues and sculptures crowd the space so it feels like an active artist’s studio. The service is attentive, prompt, and quite funny. Definitely returning here.

Totally cool Kodak moments!!! Here are statues that add an unbelievable ambiance!! Stop here for a cappuccino!

The place is gorgeous with the statues but the food was incredibly disappointing. Definitely not worth a dinner. We ordered a tuna tataki and two pastas. The food was SO salty and we kept drinking water. There was no flavor in any of the dishes; I'd rather spend my money tossing coins in the fountain. It was a waste here. Maybe a nice place to stop by for coffee but definitely not a place to eat good food. Highly recommend eating elsewhere.

I love travel and sampling food and drink everywhere. Spent many a night in Italy and had good to excellent food and drink. Rome had been a favorite of ours for years. Now, the bad news. This restaurant/bar had the worst cocktails my family and I have EVER had. No hesitation on this review. Also, zero atmosphere in the sculpture room!! Pass immediately. Do not waste your time, seriously.

The restaurant is artistically decorated but in food they are not great experts, the pasta dishes were very excessively salty which forced you to order many bottles of water, also at an excessive price, in addition we ordered a salad and the tomato was green and disgusting. I do not recommend for lunch..

We were walking by when I spotted this restaurant/museum. There were so many sculptures that it looked like they were spilling out into the street. A huge statue of a cavalier mounted on his horse graces the entrance and calls you in. So, I went in and asked if we could photograph the interior. They graciously agreed. The amount of art work was astounding. Every inch is covered with something. Antonio Canova, the greatest sculptor of Italian Neoclassicism, established the studio that he later left to his favorite apprentice, Adamo Tasolini, who in turn passed it on to his descendants, who were also talented sculptors. The atelier belonged to Tasolini's family until 1967. On our next trip, we will plan to dine here and really have time to take in all the artwork in this most unusual setting.

We walked by this place by accident, since it was close to our hotel. We sat down on the patio and were ready to order.... when my husband discovered a few random statues on the inside - Rome I'm telling you! We enjoyed having lunch with a few stony popes and the food was the best meal we had in Rome! Do yourself a favor and order the homemade lemon pasta, called 'Taglionlini al limo' OMG!

My favorite restaurant in the world. It was amazing to savor the delicious food sitting amidst the gorgeous, breathtaking statues.

This restaurant is amazing. The statues are incredibly and they make for a brilliant environment. We came on a hot day with a party of 10, and the staff awesomely set up a huge table for us upstairs and turned the air conditioning on. The lemon pasta is epically good and worth the trip alone, the salads were fresh and delicious, and we topped it off with a pistachio chicken dish that was excellent. Top suggestion for Rome, lunch or dinner.

Disappointing. The quality of the food for dinner has really declined. Lamb was over cooked and not seasoned well. The risotto had a little flavor, even when I added cheese. Tiramasu dessert was perhaps the best thing they served, but I don't chose my restaurants by dessert. There are so many great restaurants in Rome. I suggest you skip this one.

Didn't even try the food which actually sounded good. We were so displeased with the service we left. After we were sat our waiter yelled at a couple for no reason. It seemed after he yelled at them the waitstaff was trying their hardest to make up for it. We sat for over ten minutes waiting for our drinks when the people next to us ordered a glass of wine and it was out in seconds. Maybe it was just our waiter because the rest of them seemed to be on the ball. After that we decided we'd leave and most definitely get better service anywhere else. apparently being a tourist and bringing money to their establishment is a bad thing in their eyes.

An absolute must for a visit to Rome, whether just for a coffee or snack, or a whole meal. This combination restaurant/coffee bar/museum delivers on all fronts. The atmosphere is unlike anything else I've experienced, with sculptures of all sizes casually displayed throughout. The coffee bar is reasonably priced and the cappuccinos and espressos are delicious, and the pastries and wonderful as well - I especially liked the jam tarts. The restaurant is pricier but a real treat - I especially enjoyed the grilled vegetables with mozzarella and the cacio e pepe.

Fantastic stopping point. Had a gorgeous antipasta for 2 and a bottle of wine with the wife. Nice and relaxing and quiet compared to busy spots. Thoroughly recommend. Nice, relaxing and chilled out. Exactly what we were looking for after busy morning of site seeing.

Very cool mix between a museum and cafe. The bar is in Canova's old studio near the Spanish Steps and there are a ton of his and his assistant's plaster casts all over the cafe. My friends and I ordered a plate of biscotti and a couple different drinks. I had a cappuccino doppio and my friends had a couple different teas and coffees. We were mostly just pleased to be in such a unique cafe in Rome.

For ambiance - one of the best spots in Roma. This would be as if the Capitoline Museum allowed dinner guests. You literally are mingling with history and magnificent statues. Spendy due to location (so close to the Spanish Steps), but a lovely lunch spot, great bar/coffee and solid dessert selection. Your mouth will be agape for the duration!

Wonderfully unique cafe in Rome right near the Spanish Steps. My wife and I stopped for a bottle of wine and were also given some appetizers. The atmosphere is pleasant with people passing by and inside is like a little private museum. We sat outside and really enjoyed our time here.
