Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Castro Pretorio

If you don't share a meal at Virginiae while in Rome you're missing out. Truly one of the best lasagne I've eaten and the wine selection is superior. Our server, Rony, was a delight and I am so thankful we wandered down an alleyway to find this gem. We dined al fresco so we could feel the city and enjoy people watching. A musician played piano on the square nearby and even while the restaurant was busy the staff went out of their way to engage with us and ensure everything was perfect.

We had an amazing lunch at Tribuna Campitelli after walking from the Colosseum to the Theatre of Marcellus. Sitting outside in such a peaceful setting was the perfect break from Rome’s busy streets. Great food and a wonderfully calm atmosphere, tucked away from the crowds. A lovely little find!

We visited as a group of three to celebrate my birthday, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! First of all, the ambiance was beautiful. The restaurant has such an elegant, peaceful, and relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or a lovely dinner. The entire staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. We really appreciated how carefully they explained each dish and drink, paying attention to every little detail. We were also treated to some lovely complimentary creations from the chef, which was such a nice touch. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious, and we loved both the presentation and the flavors of the dishes. I would also like to mention something about the portion sizes. Anima is a fine dining restaurant located inside The Rome EDITION hotel, so I would recommend visiting with that in mind. Rather than expecting a traditional restaurant experience, it’s a place where presentation, flavors, and the overall dining experience take center stage. The portions reflect this concept, and we personally weren’t disappointed at all. In fact, we thoroughly enjoyed everything! All three of us left feeling extremely happy and satisfied. From the beautiful atmosphere and delicious food to the exceptional service, everything contributed to making my birthday dinner truly special. Anima has definitely become one of my new favorite spots in Rome! I would absolutely love to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience. ❤️
