Fodor's Review:

One of Rome's most soigné hotels, the d'Inghliterra used to house the chicest dining spot, a veritable neoclassic salon swagged with Empire fabrics right out of an Ingres painting. Sadly, it has now been replaced with this rather standard-issue symphony in beige marbles, beechwood walls, and Tuscan columns. Shoppers will stifle their yawns, however, because this oasis is set right in the middle of the busy Piazza di Spagna shopping district. You can tell that jet-setters like this spot -- it's got an orario continuato, or nonstop opening hours, from 10 AM on, so snacking or having a late lunch is a possibility here; and second, the menu features dishes from around the world, rather a rarity in Rome. Best bets include steamed prawns with an artichoke flan; the ravioli con fave, cipolotti, e salsa d'agnello (with fava beans, green onions, and lamb); the elegant lobster salad with avocado; and a Middle Eastern mezze (snack) plate. There's also lovely outdoor seating for a good half of the calendar year (Romans love their dining al fresco), and tables are close together, so plan on having eavesdropping neighbors…or eavesdropping on yours.
