The best restaurants with a view in Rome

On the seventh floor of Rome’s five-star luxury Hotel Splendide Royal, you will find this outstanding fine dining Italian restaurant offering sensational views of Rome.

A lunch or dinner at Mirabelle isn’t simply a lunch or dinner. If you were searching for simple, you’re not in the right place. But if you’re searching for romantic, magical and elegant, then you’ve hit the jackpot.

From the moment you step foot in this restaurant, your heart will race. Mirabelle isn’t just a place to stop by to grab something to eat, it’s a place that you go to when you want to enjoy life, when you want to admire the beauty of Rome, and when you want to taste unforgettable flavours.

You may reserve a table indoors, in the elegant setting with giant windows overlooking the vast Villa Borghese Gardens. Or you may sit outside, in one of Rome’s most stunning terraces, offering a spectacular view of Villa Borghese, the Vatican and in general, the Eternal City.

Imagine a romantic date with your partner on the candle-lit terrace, with live piano music floating in the air and a chilled bottle of wine. It doesn’t get any better than this. And of course, a great view gets even better if you pair it with delicious food. And at Mirabelle, your taste buds will be tingling.

From the splendid a la carte menu, to the chef’s tasting menu, you won’t know which way to go. But if you happen to choose the a la carte menu, try the red beer-glazed scallops with crunchy quinoa vegetables chiles habanero BBQ sauce as a starter, simply wow.

Followed by the homemade candy-shaped raviolis with artichokes, fava beans, sheep-cheese and chopped Roman mint or the spectacular medallions of monkfish with wok vegetable curry, basmati rice cream and crispy red prawns with almonds. You will feel like you’ve been catapulted in foodie heaven.

And what distinguishes this restaurant from many others is its exemplary service: the waiters are professional and friendly, the sommelier is passionate and the whole experience is noteworthy. Not to mention the fabulous live piano music that floats in the air creating an even more magical experience.

For those that have a sweet tooth, Mirabelle’s dessert menu is yummy, especially if you’re into soufflé! Order the vanilla and chocolate soufflé and have the waiter prepare it right in front of you. Or the Spheric Tiramisu is another one to try! And of course, for the wine lovers, Mirabelle’s wine and champagne selection is extensive and of high quality.

At Mirabelle, high-quality, elegance and romanticism all meet to create a memorable dining experience. But it’s also the perfect place to enjoy a fabulous business lunch. Don’t forget to make a reservation a few days in advance.
