Enoteca La Torre

My Honest Review: Enoteca La Torre in Rome First Impressions: The restaurant sits in an old 1800s mansion that looks unrestored inside. That was a red flag right off the bat. The Food: From the start, it was disappointing. The amuse-bouche was oxidized and clearly not fresh. The langoustine dish smelled old—fresh seafood should never smell. The cod was infused with lavender and tasted like soap, which was just a bad idea. Even the grissini and bread were nothing special—I’ve had much better elsewhere. The Wine: The 94-year-old lady from the Fendi family who selects the wines must be out of touch. The first wine in the $200 pairing was garbage, and even the $150 bottle I chose instead was just mediocre. Overall Experience: Every single dish was bad. The pasta was total garbage. This was not just a mediocre experience; it was terrible from start to finish. We’ve dined at many Michelin-starred places, and this was by far one of the worst. They don’t deserve their stars at all. I felt like someone was watching from a camera room and laughing at us, it’s not possible that’s this food is what the Fendi family considers to be good food, it’s simply not possible. I felt like i was eating at a very mediocre place that was trying really hard. To add to the insult, this was the only Michelin restaurant among the 10 we visited in this trip that had a dress code :) If you want a good experiencing Rome, I can tell you what would be so far, Per me and Achili Al parlamento were excellent , even their bistro for lunch time was great. . Good luck out there! !!!

Amazing meal. Husband and I both did the 8 course taste and he opted in for a 4 glass wine pairing and I tried a glass of their non alcoholic bubbly which was surprisingly very good. The 8 course spanned a leisurely 3 hours so plan accordingly. We were able to get through many of the chef classics - everything tasted divine tho not innovative. Personally we felt the flavor profile was pretty rich, tho every dish is paired with a strong acidic flavor of some sort to balance. Overall we enjoyed the meal very much. Our favorites were the cod fish and the rabbit. They spread out their house made bread pairing as well with great smoked butter and olive oil. The meal ended with a carrot dessert (not that great it tasted like Thai food) and an amazing chocolate dessert with many kinds of cocoa beans blended. Of course they wheeled in a super cute petit four to wrap it all up. The space is was quaint and beautiful, though a bit stuffy/warm - most of the men started taking off their jackets halfway through the meal. Great place for celebrations.

Amazing degustation meal. Hosted in a stunning villa owned by the Fendi Family. The atmosphere is set for a beautiful meal. Interesting wine offerings and pairings are of course available. We enjoyed the 6 course degustation and left feeling satisfied. The desserts are amazing and not to be missed. The restaurant was filled when we attended. Please don’t feel intimidated, we were not the only people in casual clothing. May I recommend “casual elegance” or “smart casual’ for the lads. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic all around, still so very Italian but so creative, some very evocative dishes that reminded me of great moments with friends and family at the shore, road trips around the country, and others, and really fantastic service. Plus probably one of the best if not the best bread service I’ve ever had. Would go again and again!

Michelin starred excellence. Food was exceptional for even a starred restaurant. Wait staff made us comfortable with friendliness and complete knowledge of the dishes and wines. We had the seven course chef's choice menu with paired wines. There are so many amuse bouches that we would order fewer courses next time. The wines were good, but some pairings were a reach. Wonderful quiet ambience in the dining room. Tables well apart. A great experience.

An elegant place for good occasions. The Villa Laetitia’s interior will be appreciated by people who likes Baroque/Renaissance opulence like I do. The only thing was missing for the full immersion (with the interior at least) is live music. The cuisine is as rich as stucco reliefs on the walls. The dishes was fantastic, and because of my birthday I received an extra dessert. The only a bit annoying thing was that the whole dinner consist of 7 course menu took around 4 hours, which is exhausting. The serving wasn’t slow, the service is fantastic and professional, but the sequence is a bit disbalanced probably. Anyway, the experience was good ⭐️

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Hands down one of the top three meals I've eaten in my life. Each dish was near perfection and the wine pairings were spot on and the service was impeccable. Was honestly suprised they "only" had one star but I see Michelin has rectified their mistake and awarded them a well deserved second star last Tuesday👍👌 Will remember this meal for the rest of my life!

This was the first time we went to a Michelin star restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. This was the best service and experience we have ever had. Thank you so much to the staff for making this a night to remember. We even got engaged right outside afterwards!

This restaurant was the highlight of our dining experiences in Rome. Not only is the setting beautiful, but each course was also a feast for the eyes. We chose the Moving tasting menu with 8 courses and the wine pairing. The service was wonderful, as you would expect. I would highly recommend this establishment, and I would happily return.

[In retrospect, the restaurant now has two Michelin Stars] Went for the 7 course tasting for lunch. We were transported from the restaurant and into a different world. Top class service, imaginative food, and a fairytale-like setting--possibly the nicest dining room in all of Rome. I highly recommend this experience as one of the best 1-star settings in the city.

Amazing place. You have to realize this is a Michelin two- star restaurant. When in Rome...

I have eaten at many of the finest restaurants in the world. Let me tell you, Enoteca La Torre is truly of the highest caliber, a thoughtfully designed culinary adventure that will leave you feeling satisfied and inspired. Nestled in a historic abode belonging to the Fendi clan, the culinary studio is a delight for senses beyond the olfactory. Well deserving of its two Michelin stars, I wouldn't be surprised to see a third and final donning the door to this establishment in the coming years.

This place was amazing! Came here during our Europe honeymoon trip and was not disappointed! The place was oozing with casual elegance, the servers are very attentive and the food was spectacular! The restaurant is located inside a villa (owned by Fendi), so the design is very elegant and romantic. We came here during the lunch hour and had an awesome time. They served us 9 courses (if I'm counting it correctly) and each course was amazing! It was the perfect amount, perfect blend and balance of tastefulness. Loved the uniqueness of the dishes as well! Will definitely go back :)
