I Quattro Mori Hostaria

Best restaurant near Vatican . Even Pope will visit this restaurant. We can see every Pope's photography in the restaurant.

This is such an amazing restaurant!! The food was fantastic. It was an unbelievable explosion of ethereal bliss to the pallet. So many amazing flavors and tastes... The owner and chef looks just like Anthony Bourdain. And finally the service was very good.

If you get,there, please choose the meniu of the day, "il menu di pesce" " tutto incluso" for 25 € /pers. First main, second main, desert, water or juice, wine and coffe. It is a good place to eat fresh sea fruits, and if you have a good friend with you, ask the guys from the restaurant to make him a "special coffee" , they have a nice trick for him. It"s funny!?

We ordered the "il menu di pesce, tutto incluso" for €25 and it was fantastic! We got a few seafood dishes for appetiser, two small pasta servings for mains and one dessert. Includes water, wine, beer or coffee. They even served us 2 bottles of wine for 3 people! Surprisingly no coperto charges. The waiter will first recommend their €40 special of the day which includes additional grilled fish and a platter of calamari (after pasta) plus limoncella after meal but if you just want a simple satisfying meal, ask for their €25 special of the day. You have a choice between seafood or meat special of the day. Highly recommended!

Before my Roma trip, my husband recommended me his favorite restaurant in this beautiful city. ‘You should go to I Quattro Mori Hostaria which is close to Vatican. And find a lovely cool guy Giovanni who has neat white teeth, ask him to arrange your dinner. You will be very satisfied as we were three years ago!’ My husband also told me this was the only restaurant they visited twice during one trip. Giovanni organized them two nice feasts including different kinds of pastas, seafood, many traditional Italian appetizers, desserts and paring wine. All the dishes were delicious, coming with a very lovely price.I went to the restaurant alone after visiting the Vatican Museum and luckily found Mr. Giovanni at first sight. This lovely gentleman arranged a very amazing typical Italian dinner much better than expected.For the appetizers, big five! Boiled mussels, red beans with tomato, anchovies marinated in vinegar, fried fishes, octopus salad. All the food were with big portions for one person and very tasty! And then Giovanni brought two small dishes of pasta. The first one is spaghetti with clams, the clams are very juicy and fresh with the chewy spaghetti. The second pasta is very special which named gnocchetti Sardi, a typical pasta from Giovanni’s hometown Sardinia. Each piece of pasta absorbed the sauce of carb and shrimp (boiled with tomato and saffron I guess). Although I was very full at that moment I couldn’t stop my spoon^^After a glass of lemon sorbet for refreshing, the second main course was coming. Grigliato misto oil Pesce, a kind of mixed grilled seafood plate, with a piece of Orata(Gilt-head bream), some fried calamari, and two different kinds of shrimps. To be honest, I was trying my best to finish my feast, and luckily I had a great job. After that, one slice of homemade cake and a plate of mixed fruit also found their space in my stomach. The next day, I brought my friend to the restaurant again and had another lovely night. The restaurant was too generous. The staffs always leave the whole bottle of house wine on the table and all the dishes were big sizes. I am a senior traveler and have experienced many restaurants over the world, I Quattro Mori Hostaria will be always THE ONE in Roma. It is a hidden gem in a quiet street. All the guests except me are local people. I think this 15-year-old restaurant is like an old friend in their community. The bosses, a lovely couple told me Giovanni is over 80 years old, which surprised me a lot because he is still full of energy and passion like a fresh guy. Giovanni has been working for their family for over 34 years and enjoying the job all the time, making all the guests feel spoiled. Thanks Giovanni, Thanks I Quattro Mori Hostaria☺ Will be back!

One must visit this place if you love seafood!! A local friend of mine took me there and ordered a whole bunch of small orders so it felt as if we tried their entire menu. The fish is very fresh, the owner is very friendly and the atmosphere is amazing!

A fantastic place. We asked them to prepare a dinner for a birthday celebration. It was simply incredible!!! Excellent food and warm service with a lot of sense of humour!!! We had a great evening! Thank you!

They serve seafood and pasta. It's next to a school but in a bright and colourful neighbourhood. I had spaghetti cacio e pepe and it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious, the waiters very hospitable. Would recommend it to everyone especially after visiting the Vatican. Just a ten minutes walk.
