Bistrot del Mare

This is a hole in the wall type of place, not huge, but elegantly laid out and functional. The seafood dishes were all delicious and very fresh. Desserts are innovative. I knew this was a keeper as most folks diner there when we were there were mostly locals.

I have mixed feelings about this seafood restaurant in Rome. On one hand, the food was good – the seafood risotto was excellent, definitely a 5/5. But overall, the atmosphere didn’t feel exceptional, and while the service was technically fine, it lacked a certain spark. The restaurant was almost empty, which felt a bit strange. Pricing is unfortunately on the high side for what you get – understandable for central Rome, but still a bit too steep. Perhaps that’s why it wasn’t busier.

Went to this restaurant last night at the recommendation of our hotel. The seafood was amazingly fresh and prepared really well. Tasted properly high-end. I had a selection of tartare fish to start, my partner had squid with seasoned mayonnaise and potatoes. Both were brilliant. For main courses, I had linguini with monkfish cheeks, and my partner had langoustines. Again, both dishes totally amazing texture and flavour. The staff were really helpful. Definitely recommended.

Like the tide, Bistrot del Mare starts calm, then swells with life. The sea is on your plate (5⭐), kindness at your table (5⭐), and the room finds its pulse only after night fully falls… a recommendation is to dine here around 9-9:30 or later.

A top-notch place for fish lovers! Excellent service and super fresh food. Antipasti "crudo" is a must. Tuna was amazing, too. Prices were higher than expected, but it's totally worth it. Great job!!

We are two couples who enjoyed dinner here this evening. The service and food was all very good.

Wonderful experience,elegant restaurant Fresh fish and alternative rich menu The staff were so attentive and kind I definitely recommend it
