The 24 Best Restaurants In Rome - Rome - The Infatuation

"Giano in the W hotel has a prix-fixe lunch special that’s one of the best deals in Rome. After you’re seated in their swanky dining room with velvet chairs and sofas, you’ll get a complimentary bread basket filled with crispy housemade focaccia, wheat bread from Antico Forno Roscioli, and flavorful breadsticks, alongside whipped ricotta with olive oil and a dusting of ground capers. That alone could be a meal, but you’ll also get to pick an antipasto and pasta, like the zesty fennel and orange salad and, without exception, spaghetto taratatà. This dish packs a punch: al dente, made-in-house spaghettone is bathed in lemon, garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes, then topped with toasted breadcrumbs, parsley, tuna bottarga, and grouper carpaccio that tastes straight from the Sicilian coast." - annie replogle

"Conveniently situated in a quiet setting just off Via Vittorio Veneto, Giano is housed within the modern Hotel W with which it shares a comfortable cocktail bar and attractive garden. The atmosphere here is modern and informal, with simple dishes served at lunchtime and more gourmet dining options in the evening. The resident chef is supported by the experienced Ciccio Sultano from the Michelin-two-star Duomo restaurant in Ragusa, whose influence is evident in some of the reinterpreted, contemporary-style Sicilian dishes. Iconic dishes such as spaghetto taratatà (with a tuna and bottarga sauce), caponata and carpacci are highly recommended, as are desserts such as the reinterpreted millefeuille. Sicilian cuisine takes pride of place here and the service is excellent." - Michelin Inspector
