Acquolina Hostaria

Red alert. The gastronomes of Rome are stampeding to Acquolina Hostaria, the newest venture of the brothers Troiani. For years Il Convivio Troiani has been a peak of Roman dining, and now the energetic brothers Troiani have opened this small, exclusive new place. Acquolina Hostaria is modern and elegant with some al fresco seating for typical Roman weather. The menu relies heavily on the catch of the day, featuring oysters, clams and anything that swims prepared in a mixture of classic and modern styles, including raw and sushi-style preparations. The wine list, as at Il Convivio, is absolutely huge and, at eighty percent white, very well matched to the fish dishes. Dinner only, with a tasting menu that will have you hooked.
