📖

Full description

SantoPalato pushes classic Roman nose-to-tail cooking in a more contemporary direction, and reviewers praise dishes like smoked beef heart and a green bean and tomato salad for genuinely fresh, well-balanced flavours. Reviews of the newer location are more divided, though, with at least one longtime fan feeling the redesigned space leans too polished and impersonal compared to the original, cosier setting, and describing service as more distant.

At 4.3 from nearly 1,600 reviews and expensive pricing, it remains a strong option for adventurous eaters wanting modern takes on traditional Roman offal dishes, though it may suit those less attached to old-school trattoria charm better than nostalgic regulars.

Reviews

Our first visit to the new location. I don’t like the atmosphere at all, it looks like a hip version of McDonalds and the service is much more distant and cold than before. The portions are shrinking as well while the prices are higher. But the food is still top notch. We also drank some of the best chianti’s ever.…
