This is a casual family place with good portions, fair prices, and delicous food. We went there on the Hotel Westin Excelsior concierge's advice and were delighted.

Found this place as it was very close to our hotel on a rainy evening. Greeted by friendly but not overbearing staff, which made a nice change from other restaurants in the city. Food was delicious, obviously freshly cooked, and there was a good choice of dishes. Dessert was very tasty, again obviously homemade. Staff attentive but didn’t rush us through the meal like in other restaurants. Good value for money given the quality of food. Sad we didn’t find until our last night in Rome, will return next time we visit!

Tucked in a side street a block in all directions from brand named hotels is Tempio di Bacco with it’s sidewalk dining tent. It wasn’t my destination but it will be next time I’m in Rome.

Out of sorts from traveling, My wife and I randomly agreed to stop for some Italian comfort food. We ordered two very different pasta sauces on basically similar noodles. She opted for the truffle infused olive oil creation while I was drawn to a lemon pepper cream sauce. We both we smugly convinced we hit the culinary jackpot, and wanted to other spouse to break ranks and agree with us. However, four switched bites later, the game was declared a draw. We both loved both sauces.

The unshakable rule in dining is that you think you know more than you do. The saving grace is that being humbled by great food is always a welcome lesson..

I was referred here by the hotel I was staying at, The Westin Excelsior. It seems like many of these reviews were pushed here by the same means. Seems like some sort of agreement is in place.

I sat outside and I was alone as I was waiting for my wife to come later that night. It was interesting watching the waiters try to push as many people to eat at their restaurant as possible. At times much more pushy than I would expect. The atmosphere was ok, but nothing special.

The food again was ok. I had a caprese salad that was served on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes and buffalo cheese. It had a tiny sprig of basil in the middle. This was the best part of my meal. The next course was ravioli with a shrimp sauce. While it wasn't bad, it was missing something.

Then came the bill. My total was 29 euro. The waiter asked if I wanted to add a tip to the card. As this was my first dining experience after arriving in Rome I said sure. He put 4.40 euro into the machine and asked if that was ok. Based on what I read and talked to people about before visiting this seemed rather high, but I told him that was fine. He then added a 0 to the end of the bill and made it 44.00 euro even. I was a little taken aback and it was my fault for not saying something quicker, but he ran the card right away. It was a very shady way to run your business and he seemed to have this process down and knew exactly what he was doing. I talked to our tour guide about the experience and she said restaurants in Italy are not allowed to add a tip to a credit card bill and what he did was 100% wrong. She encouraged me to write this review so that the same thing wouldn't happen to others.

I actually was going to bring my wife back here another night because it wasn't that bad, but the handling of the bill stopped that. I would suggest other Westin guests to check around the hotel for other restaurants. La Bruschetta and Sapor d'ischia were very good with great atmospheres!

CARO JOSH... SE FOSSE VERO, CI INCHINEREMMO PER CHIEDERLE SCUSA...
ma... sono piu' che certo, che, come (aime') e' accaduto altre volte,lei abbia sbagliato locale... purtroppo la nostra struttura e attaccata ad un altro esercizio, col quale confiniamo anche come deor esterno, e, ancora purtroppo, capita talvolta che veniamo confusi.
Ho passato le prime tre ore della mattina a verificare tutti i pagamenti pos dal 1 aprile a ieri, alla ricerca di quella comanda (di euro 44.00)..che lei descrive cosi' dettagliatamente, (che in onesta', racconta di un comportamento vergognoso che NON condovido, le e' stato fatto un TORTO, ma non da noi).. e non l'abbiamo, NON E' STATO DA NOI:
In verita' mi erano gia' sorti dei dubbi nel leggere la descrizione delle pietanze da lei menzionate, perche' la caprese non la presentiamo su letto di insalata (MAI) e non abbiamo ravioli al sugo di gambero; ma tant'e' ho voluto comunque verificare:
LEI HA RAGIONE, ED E' UN SUO DIRITTO segnalare comportamenti scorretti, ma le vorrei suggerire, 1- di verificare meglio la struttura che recensisce, 2- magari la prossima volta portare in evidenza il maltorto immediatamente al responsabile del locale, che sono certo (chiunque fosse) avrebbe riparato senza indugio all'errore (grossolano) di un suo dipendente.
Colgo l'occasione per chiederle di venire presso il ns locale al civico 38, per darle modo di comprendere il nostro stupore.
Le chiedo comunque scusa a nome di tutti i ristoratori di ROMA, onesti, che svolgono questo lavore con passione ed impegno quotidiano.
GRAZIE JOSH... .... Mei Giampiero, proprietario de IL TEMPIO DI BACCO.

Party of 3 celebrating my wife's birthday. The location is a nice spot near Via Veneto and the restaurant offers some tables outside to enjoy spring and summer evenings. The food .... we ordered some raw fish as appetiser and they brought some octopus (that one you can find at the supermarket) some smoked salmon (it isn't rawfish) and tuna (I ate better and fresher one) . Than fried shrimps, a mussels' sautè and some grilled tuna. Asked for a bottle of white wine the waiter waived us that we could drink just two bottles of it because the restaurant didn't have more chilled ones. Thanks asked for the dessert; the waiter and the manager were advised about the birthday celebration but instead a simple candle (it cost between 20 and 50 euro cents at any grocery shop) they put an IKEA big candle inside the plate! Weird and funny. At the end the bill was 160 euro dropped at 115 for the Fork's promotion. What can I say... we are Italian and we were expecting something more. Probably we will come back willing to give them another chance but I hope the management could handle the situation on a better way using fresher products and fixing the small things that, all together, create a not so great experience. Improve it guys!

SICURAMENTE... CHI NON MIGLIORA COLTEMPO..???
Sinceramente alcune affermazioni mi hanno lasciato un po' sorpreso, ma visto che, come sostiene, ci dara' una seconda possibilita', attendero' di confrontarmi con lei... Magari pero', se sara' un altro compleanno ci avvisi prima, alla prenotazione, cosi' come aveva fatto per dirci che veniva con un piccolo cane; per il solo motivo, che alle 22:00 e' veramente difficile trovare una candelina di suo gusto, anche da IKEA. Comunque, SIG RAFFAELE, torni... noi l'aspettiamo a braccia aperte. GRAZIE PER LA VISITA
