Our best meal in Rome..

Why did we dine here? – Pipero Al rex was recommended to us by Rome expert, Katy Parla and proved to be one of our most memorable meals in Rome. This restaurant has only been open since October, 2011 and has caused favorable reaction in the Foodie world. This small gem had only six tables. Modern, restrained decor with lots of cool touches including a stylish water pitcher, burgundy leather curved seats and chandelier.

Pipero al rex Rome Raw Duck

Raw duck, mustard and apple cream (€20)- This tar tare was a signature dish that we could not miss even though we were extremely scared of it. This looks like strawberries but proved to be extremely chewy with a nice balance of crispiness from the wafer. Give it a try!

Pipero al rex Rome Spaghetti

Spaghetti, Garlic, olive oil and fish sauce (€20)- Finally, a nice reasonably sized portion. Excellent, one of the best around with some stellar fish sauce.

Pipero al rex Rome Vermichelli

Vermicelli pasta with herbs and Parmesan the (€20)- Slightly smaller noodle with a very complex flavor, cooked very al dente like it should be.

Pipero al rex Rome Pork

Filet of pork, vanilla and vegetable cream (€30)- A perfect medium-rare piece of Venison, not Pork.

Pipero al rex Rome Lamb

Lamb and potatoes (€30)- Tender, not gamey, medium-rare, simply excellent.

Complementary Pre-dessert – A thin filo crust with chocolate and pop rocks sandwiched between them. Fun, crisp, chocolaty.

Pipero al rex Rome Pineapple

Pineapple & Pineapple (€15)- An interesting dessert that included pineapple ice cream with some candied ginger.

Pipero al rex Rome Ice Cream Dessert

Rice, milk, vanilla and passion fruit ice cream (€15)- A lighter dessert, almost California style, with a combination of crunchy, soft, sweet attributes.
