Fodor's Review:
The well-heeled, the business-minded, and those of more refined palate frequent this outpost of tranquillity owned by Cristina, a local of Le Marche, the region north of Rome that borders the Adriatic. There's a palpable feminine air to the place -- in the luxe fabrics and flowers, the ornate oil paintings -- and Cristina and her daughter dote on their customers as you'd wish a sophisticated Italian mamma would, spoiling them with an ample selection of classic Italian dishes prepared with a creative flair. There's always a selection of dishes from their native region, such as olive ascolane (large green olives, stuffed with seasoned ground meat, breaded, and fried), various pasta dishes, and succulent roast lamb. Other temptations include the pasta (made fresh every day), a beautiful display of seafood fresh from the Adriatic, and a wide selection of meats and vegetables all ready to be grilled in the fireplace in the front room.

Treated with care, we had a delicious last meal in Rome, with impecable service, from start to finish. Waitstaff was very helpful in guiding us through the menu.
One of the best in Rome

I have been going to Al Ceppo for quite a few years, mostly in the fall season when white truffles are plentiful. I am always impressed by the quality of the food, ( fish and mushrooms especially, and the Ascona olives...) the excellence of the service and the wine list ( tremendous) and, most of all, the value. (Some background music can help, but I believe I talian restaurant don't believe in that...) I am in the restaurant business myself and know how difficult it is to maintain consistency. Bravo to the Milozzi ladys! Adel
