Hubby and I went to Ad Hoc on the back of some great TripAdvisor reviews and it certainly did not disappoint. This was the best food we had in Rome by some margin. And the customer service was just second to none. We were given a beautiful booth towards the back of the restaurant & a lovely glass of Prosecco... More

We went here one of the nights in Rome. The food was amazing as was the service. The price was very reasonable for what you got. We would go back in a flash!

Ate here for my birthday on 21st. Chose the sea tasting menu which both my husband and I loved. Service was excellent; waitresses very knowledgable; atmosphere great. A good mix of locals and tourists and all seemed to be enjoying their food. There have been some comments about saltiness and yes if you don't use salt you will notice it... More

Does not disappoint! We made reservations here and were promptly sat and greeted with 2 complimentary glasses of sparkling wine. My wife and I both tried the seafood tasting menu, despite my dietary restrictions (no dairy) and they were more than happy to accommodate and shift around the menu for me. The service was spectacular and they kept our wine/beer... More

My experience at this restaurant was definitely a positive one. The reservation process was seamless and I received an immediate confirmation via email once I submitted my request from Australia. Once entering the restaurant, staff were friendly, professional & very knowledgeable of all dishes on the menu. No problems with speaking English & the quality of the food was great... More

Without question my best meal in Rome so far, after several visits to the eternal city. My wife and I dined with our two boys aged 3 and 6, and we were all very well looked after. Fantastic food, three hours of joy!

Ad hoc fully lived up to our expectations. Found at trip advisor before leaving our home country, annpre ordered. The waitress recognized my name, and led us to the table immediately. My wife choosed the tasting menu Land. I took the truffles menu. Both were very good - with minor details to improve. They were very generous with wines -... More

This is the kind of place where you spend 2 or 3 hours on a special occasion for a gourmet dining experience. We spent the last night of our honeymoon here which was also my husband's birthday. I wanted something memorable and it certainly did the job. The restaurant is situated on the edge of a very elegant and beautiful... More

My husband and I dined here on the last night of our Honeymoon earlier this month. From the beginning, the customer service was outstanding. They first accommodated a very last minute request for a reservation. Then, upon arrival to the restaurant, gave us our choice of tables and immediately poured us a glass of complimentary champagne. And then the complimentary... More
