Looking for something to eat at 1150, we found ourselves overwhelmed by the choices. This place was listed in a popular guide, it is by several measures a typical posh restaurant hidden in a beautiful hotel. But our experience was anything but typical. First off, the food is top notch, well presented, the taste so balanced that the idea of at least one star rises in the back of your mind and at least compared to France, all solidly priced for the quality. The waitress who took care of us during our meal was exceptionally welcoming and funny, all while maintaining a certain classy detachment. At the end several staff joined in on the joking melting the otherwise distinguished ambience and making you move on with this rare sensation of leaving a friend's place behind.

SAN Baylon in Rome completely won me over. I stopped by during aperitivo time and ordered a Boulevardier, which was made to perfection—balanced, smooth, and exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome, striking the perfect balance between attentive and relaxed.

The setting at Palazzo Ripetta adds to the experience, with its chic yet comfortable vibe that makes you want to stay longer than planned. I absolutely loved everything about this visit and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend it—this place is a must!

Very overrated. Service is very slow. From being seated to getting our appetizer was about 50mins. The food itself is average. Some dishes are well presented but don’t taste that great.

They show the Michelin name but they aren’t a Michelin star restaurant so don’t be fooled there. I wouldn’t recommend going here.

First we had an amazing cocktail at the bar. Eduardo made a perfect suggestion. He was extremly kind and had a great knowledge of cocktails. We received also some olives and almonds, both delicious👌
Afterwards we went for a dinner to the restaurant. Our waiter was Simon. He was knew what he was doing. Suggested the perfect wine for our dinner. He was very kind and funny. He served us some amazing dishes. Unfortunately we didn’t make so may fotos.
All in all an unforgettable evening.
Thank you again, we will come back one day:)

Super friendly and welcoming staff and gorgeous decor. Everything we ordered was great especially the beef in the last pic. Also grilled veggies are perfect. This is beyond “side dish”.
