Casa Bleve (Pantheon/Navona)

We really enjoyed our dinner at Casa Bleve. I think I was so distracted I didn't take pictures! It's not your usual restaurant, this top notch restaurant with an impressive wine list and a beautiful dining room is an experience. It almost feels like you are dining in a museum ! I visited Casa Bleve a while back but remember having a wonderful Cacio e Pepe pasta (typical Roman pasta of sharp cheese and black pepper) and the rack of lamb. Expect to pay around €50 a head at this place, depending on how much you order and the wine you choose! 

L'Archangelo (Prati)

L'Archangelo was a nice change from the usual restaurants. We started off with a plate of fried goodies  called Supplizio (suppli, cream, arancino, almond nut brittle)  rather odd mix but it worked. We then had the amatriciana (tomato sauce and bacon) and the pigeon. All very good, even though I would never go for pigeon.  There wasn't a huge selection to choose from so I happily went out of my comfort zone and boy was it worth it! The owner Archangelo Dadini has also opened a street food place called Supplizio where you can find the fried rice balls and other Roman street food.

Pinsere (Via Flavia)

I stumbled upon Pinsere for lunch when I was in the Via Flavia area. A pinsere is a typical Roman pizza that you don't see very often. This place has a vast selection of flavors to choose from and they are anything but your boring old run of the mill types. I choose one with pumpkin cream, speck, and provolone, and loved it. This place is only open until 4pm since the area is full of offices. Definitely go for a lunch on the go or a late afternoon snack.

Temakinho Rome (Monti)

Temakinho is a Japanese Brazilian sushi restaurant originating in Milan, Italy. The two locations in Milano are always packed and booking at a decent hour is quite difficult. Even though it is now also difficult to get a dinner reservation at a decent hour in the Rome location, I was lucky enough to have had a chance to go a few months ago. We started the evening with the signature Caipirinhas (regular and passion fruit) and then I had another which wasn't as good as the passion fruit one. The sushi was good, it is not easy to come by decent makis (rolls) in Rome! Prices are not bad, and the quality is not bad either. We started with the ceviche which was not the best I have ever had but was decent. We also ordered three types of rolls, one with tempura shrimp and salmon, one with scallop and passion fruit, and one with salmon and avocado, they were good, but the scallop with passion fruit took getting used to. Their dessert looked tempting, they had American style cakes on display, but we decided to be good and resisted.
Overall, an enjoyable dinner in a hip part of town, only downside, getting a reservation!
Salute!
