I've been back to Festo Avieno several times and each time it's absolutely delicious. But this past Saturday was so exceptional that I felt the need to write yet another review. If this place was in the center it would be one of the most happening restaurants in Rome. You really get bang for your buck too. So I would suggest you go out of your way to check it out. It's actually not far from the Vatican and very convenient if your staying at the Monte Mario Hilton. I had a fresh pasta with baby lobster dish that has my mouth watering just thinking about it. They also dazzled with their own take on the classic millefoglie. It came in a tall glass and was arranged almost like a pudding dish. Do look at the image I posted though it doesn't really give it justice. Wow it was so damn delicious I can't wait to order it again. The waiter was extremely attentive and is even able to speak English passably. The economical white wine he chose for me to serve with the meal was just perfect. Two glasses and I was feeling a bit tipsy but at the same time it accompanied the meal like a dream. I am eager to bring friends and family here when they visit the eternal city. I know they'll appreciate Festo Avieno the way that I do. There is a good selection of seafood dishes and I want to try them all.
In the area staying at a local hotel and took advice from Tripadvisor for this restaurant. We have no regrets, it was an excellent experience. We started with oysters, they were perfectly fresh, and absolutely delicious, which is saying something since we come from Boston where the oysters and seafood are superb. My husband had a fish of the day and sliced potato dish that was delicious and I had a pasta with fish dish that was incredibly tasty and came with a bonus langoustine. We had dessert, a lemon dish that was unbelievably good (grandmother's recipe? Something maybe got lost in translation...waiters are not fluent in English but their English is better than my Italian). Wine and service were excellent, altogether unexpectedly good. We'll go back if we stay in the area again.
