Enjoy an authentic gastronomic experience,
centered around true Roman cuisine, in the historic restaurant near the Colosseum
that has been preserving the flavors of tradition since 1960.
FORGET THE IDEA OF THE ROMAN RESTAURANT YOU ALREADY KNOW
Here, the tradition of our land is something we take seriously.
Not a banal tourist trap strategy.
We do not chase trends.
We do not need extravagant reinterpretations.
Since 1960, every dish has been inspired by authentic traditional recipes.
The kind that tell the story of Rome’s identity, with flavor, passion, and elegance.
And to do that, we carefully choose the best ingredients, relying only on trusted suppliers.
Every day, we make our Pasta and stuffed pasta by hand in our own workshop.
We personally select only the freshest fish the market has to offer.
Because at Hostaria Isidoro, Roman tradition and seafood cuisine are not a tourist attraction: they are a responsibility.
And those who choose to sit at our table deserve absolute respect.
They deserve attention.
They deserve to experience true Roman gastronomy.
A CUISINE THAT TELLS
THE STORY OF OUR PASSION
Our cuisine respects Roman gastronomic tradition and, for this reason, we have created a menu designed to welcome everyone.
Nothing comes pre-cooked: every dish is prepared fresh to order.
From land and seafood appetizers that follow the rhythm of the seasons, to first courses that celebrate tradition, the catch of the day, and seasonal ingredients, all the way to main courses with authentic flavor: every dish is a natural meeting point between Roman tradition and true taste.
And to end on a sweet note, of course, there is no shortage of desserts made by our pastry chefs, created fresh every day to offer you a final touch of freshness and indulgence.
To accompany each course, you can choose the wine you prefer from our selection of local and national labels, carefully chosen to enhance every dish.
