Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very nice food, very nice staff, very nice setting. Only small downside is only two wines as glass available. We really enjoyed our meal here, absolutely recommended."
"Everything was super delicious and the team was soo sweet I’ll definitely come back soon"
"Cool, modern place unlike many other restaurants in Rome. Very cozy and vibrant. Solid food with a twist, perfect for a date night or night out with friends. A little hectic. 4/5 because the food was a bit heavy."
"My family and I were looking for somewhere to dine and found Nena! We were immediately given great suggestions for food when we had no idea what to eat. After our appetizers, our dishes came out perfect and paired well with the wine suggested by the house. Closed the night with an incredible dessert!! Would recommend to anyone to go and try for yourself!"
"The best restaurant in Rome is Nena. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was also excellent. This is not a touristy and overcrowded place. The food was delicious. The only unpleasant thing for me was that after ordering pasta, they asked me twice if I wanted something else to eat. I understand that pasta is not considered the main dish, but I was already full."
"Beautiful restaurant nestled away from the busy neighbourhood. Great food and wine suggestions from the waitresses and team, even with serving sequences."
"Maybe the best food I’ve had in Rome. Amatriciana was excellent. Only locals, will definitely return"
"At NENA, you’ll find a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends modern elegance with a cozy, neighborhood feel. The menu is a love letter to Italian cuisine. My favourite dish? The calamaro! It was simply exceptional, served with a delicious pea sauce... We were a group of 10, not the easiest guests! Between our cameras, microphones, lights, the rest of the work gear and our endless requests, we certainly put everyone to the test (even the fellow guests!). Lorenzo, Gemma, and Karen in the dining room, along with Salvatore and Patrizio in the kitchen (and my apologies to those whose names escape me!) handled it all with professionalism, patience, and good humour. And yes, we will be back!!! (Consider this a warning!)"
