Vini & Cucina Blasi

This was such a lovely and welcome surprise for dinner after a busy day of walking through the streets of Rome. We were looking for an authentic Roman restaurant that was not overly catering for the many travelers around the Pantheon and Vini and Cucina Blasi was waiting quietly for us in a less busy corner of the area we were searching. We always love the unexpected experiences when away from home And this delightful restaurant was such a wonderful find. We were welcomed warmly by the lovely Aray, who when asked if there were gluten free options was able to assure my wife that there were many gluten free options both pizza, bread and pasta were available for her. There was an excellent menu to select our pasta dishes from, along with an excellent selection of Umbrian wines. Our meals were excellent. Very tasty and very generous in serves. We were unable to select a dessert from the wonderful options as we were so full! Quite unusual for us. Thank you to Aray and the wonderful chef who made our meal so memorable on our last night in Rome. We only wish we had discovered this excellent restaurant when we first arrived!

Five stars all around, staff lovely and speak English. Good location, good food, good drinks. All you could need. Great for gluten free too. Lots of choices!

Tomato-stained placemats, gluten-free pizza alla diavola was inedible, sour tomato and rubbery salami, waitresses smoking IQOS behind the counter. NOT TO BE TRYED
