"The temple of Fish Cuisine in Rome. Raw ingredients at the highest levels, great quality and freshness. The patron Stefano Chinappi always recommends the best, and he's also a great champagne expert. Let him guide you in a great experience at Chinappi Restaurant! (don't forget to taste as raw fish as possibile!)"
"The most phenomenal meal I had in Rome. Khan was a fabulous server. We did not order, he simply brought us his favorite menu items and everything was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend."
"A Taste of the Sea in the Heart of Rome” Our lunch @chinappi_restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed into an elegant yet inviting atmosphere, where the warmth of the staff instantly made us feel at home. The service was impeccable—professional, attentive, and always ensuring every request was met with care. But the real magic? The food. Each dish was a perfect harmony of tradition and innovation, skilfully crafted to showcase the finest seafood with exquisite balance. The freshness of the ingredients was undeniable, and every bite was a true celebration of flavour. And let’s not forget Stefano, the heart and soul of Chinappi, whose passion for his craft is evident in every recommendation and explanation he shares. His love for what he does makes the dining experience all the more special. From the delicate crudos to the perfectly paired wines, every detail was flawless. If you appreciate authenticity, refinement, and top-quality seafood, Chinappi is an absolute must-visit in Rome. A truly fabulous lunch in an exceptional setting—highly recommended!"
"Awesome experience! The best restaurant that I’ve been to in Rome, cozy and warm atmosphere, phenomenal food and people! Highly highly recommend to everyone that want to experience the best seafood in Rome! Thank you"
"Best fish and seafood in Rome , the owner mister Stefano will kindly recommend you the best dishes for your taste.The service is next level , Tatiana also was super friendly and prompt on all our needs. Highly recommend"
"Long waited review.. over a month since I've been to this restaurant and I still cannot forget how amazing this restaurant was. this is how good this place is. the food were just fabulous and fresh. it will be a disservice to myself if I don't leave a comment here. The chief was extremely nice and was a delight having just a few chat with him. here are just a few dishes, eg. drill octopus, creme brulee, red prawns and etc.. the waiter also recommended this local white, that was fruit yet dry which pair perfectly with the seafood. Too bad my luggage was getting full or else I will order a few back home. Has to be my best meal in Italy by far!!"
"I went in this lovely restaurant with my mom once I got back to Italy for vacation. The first thing that surprised me was the nice atmosphere and the warm welcome from the Owner, his name is Stefano and I swear he is the nicest person ever! After he showed us our table, he introduced us the menu which is really refined and tasteful. We really trusted him and he took care of us for the entire dinner. Before choosing this restaurant I read the bad reviews where many costumers said that Stefano wanted to forced them to order what he wanted, but I totally disagree with them!!! If it seemed like this, it's just because Stefano wanted to suggest them the best dish and guide them in a 5* dinner experience. I love food and so I loved this restaurant! We've got various selection of raw fish, the taste was great and the fish was super fresh... but the best part was the main courses! My mom got a grilled octopus, and I got a Spaghetti with clams that was amazing! Chinappi is a family restaurant, and it was nice to talk with Stefano's wife and their sons. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends and to whom will read this review! Grazie Stefano, a presto!"
"I had a delicious dinner tonight at this restaurant and was absolutely delighted with the service, food and people working there. Thank you to everyone for creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere and delicious dishes. Thank you to Tatyana for her warm heartfelt conversation so that I never felt lonely, even though I came there alone. I hope to come there for lunch or dinner again"
