This is such a gorgeous restaurant, everything about it - atmosphere, staff and food. It is the perfect setting for a romantic evening. We arrived a little bit early and sat outside on the cobbled street with a complimentary glass of prosecco. The staff could not have been nicer, so warm and accomodating and the food and wine were both... More

I brought my husband here yesterday for his 40th Birthday Dinner. I had seen the reviews on here whilst planning our trip to Rome and knew this would be the ideal place to celebrate. It's tucked out of the way and you could easily walk past it..it is a hidden gem so to speak. We got a taxi from our... More

When you conjure up the most romantic, charming European restaurant you can muster, it's pretty darn close to the reality that The Library offers. Small and slightly tough to find, The Library has no more than 10 tables with only candlelight lighting the room. Service was impeccable, from recommendations from our server, wine selections from the sommelier, and little touches... More

We stumbled upon this little gem as our first choice for the night happened to be closed, and what a lucky accident! We had wonderfull food, and the staff obviously loved their restaurant and did everything to makes us love it too. The interior looks like something from a dracula-movie: dim light with burning candles, red velvet, fresh romantic flowers... More

Let me begin by saying I am Italian-American and have been to Rome many times and so I'd like to think I have some authority to write the following review. My wife and I visited this pretentious little restaurant on April 29, 2013. We were incredibly disappointed. I will admit the candles were nice and the waiter was attentive, but... More

dear client, first of all let me thank you for taking the time on writing on tripadvisor to let me know your feelings. I will just point out, for the benefit of the readers, you come at 6,30 pm to dine ,that maybe the reason the restaurant was empty. I am very sorry you did not enjoy the food, although... More

Had a wondeful evening at the library for our first wedding anniversary. Best service we've had in Rome. Attentive staff. Beautiful decor and gorgeous ambience. Food great. It all comes at a price though... Expensive but worth it for a treat.

This is our second visit in this restaurant. The atmosphere is romantic and intimate, as there are just a few tables inside. Most lights are candle lights. The food was great, even though it was better the last time, the wines were fantstic. I would most definately go back next time in Rome, preferably just with my partner.

This is really a fantastic restaurant, the food is marvelous, great wines and the service is perfect. There is nothing that we would change, it is definitely perfect! We liked so much that from four nights in Rome we went twice to the Library and for sure we will come back!
