Just tucked away from the hustle and bustle of an evening in Rome, in a little side street is a gem of a surprise. A romantic little restaurant that gave us a night to remember. Good food and wine were complemented by the friendly but discrete service. They understood our desire to relish the evening, savouring the flavours and excellent... more

Being a local myself, I can definitely assure that this is a little gem on the Roman scene. Located in the heart of Ancient Rome, in The Library you can enjoy a cozy and relaxing environment, surrounded by ancient Roman walls which glow at the candlelight giving the place an exceptional and unique atmosphere. The restaurant strikes the visitor for... more

Made a reservation by email and then turned up to find note on door saying it was shut. Just checked my emails and they did not even let me know. Didnt try any other night as that was enough to put me off! more

As others say: small, intimate and hard to find. It's worth the effort though. Our host could not have been more accommodating, and we allowed the chef to select our meal. The wine and food were a highlight of our trip to Rome (February '09). Thank you for the experience. more

I'm 44, I was born in Rome and I live in Rome. I cant' belive that this restaurant is rated as the best of the city. As a Roman I am ashamed of reading such a rating. Hundreds, I repeat hundreds, of resturant in Rome are better than this one. This is my experience. I wanted to spend a romantic... more

The singer (from San Francisco) was great and sang covers of classic American songs. Somehow it felt that the ratings on this site may have gone to its head..... The service was... more

If you come here to propose, make sure you ask before the food gets served. This is a great setting for the perfect romantic evening. Initimate, a smooth jazz background, subdued lighting, stylish furnishing, discrete and personable service. In short, everything you need to create just the atmosphere to ask the big question. Sadly, the food doesnt match the mood.... more

This restaurant happened to be the highlight of the trip for my girlfriend and me. Not only did we have a terrific experience – I ended up proposing in this restaurant. The Library had been recommended to us by our hotel and we were fortunate enough to get a reservation with only a couple of days notice. Thankfully we ordered... more

Before leaving for our weekend in Rome, my boyfriend had reserved this restaurant for the evening of my birthday (11th October 2008) , having seen it on the Tripadvisor website. We had its position marked on our map, and it still took us ages to find this little restaurant down a tiny little laneway, so I'd advise that you leave... more
