The Restaurant at Hotel de Rome

"Restaurant Parioli, named for a chic district of Rome, features a terrace for alfresco dining in summer and a savory year-round Mediterranean cuisine"

"The only wrinkle is the restaurant, which does an uninteresting Germanic take on Mediterranean-Italian cooking"

"The interior is a vision of Post-Modern ideas, while the Italian restaurant, the Opera café and the spa area live up to the expectations of a hotel geared towards the international jet set"

"The lobby restaurant, Parioli, specialises in Mediterranean cuisine, with al fresco dining in summer, and lighter fare is available in the sleek Bebel Bar & Lounge or the Opera Court, where afternoon tea is served"

"Occupying a nineteenth-century former Dresdner Bank building, this high-class hotel mixes history with a swanky interior, luxurious rooms, an expansive spa and a fantastic restaurant and cocktail bar"
