Super cool and fun system, it’s all ordered by one smart phone per table making it a bit annoying but it makes sence as they have to keep track of the items ordered. Overall it was a unique system that is fun, the portions are small enough to let you try multiple items. This is like inexpensive tapas with American bar food! Great idea. The staff was awesome.

Excellent Roman tasting menu. The Carbonara was the highlight. They kindly agreed to make the matching wines all from the local, Lazio area. A great experience and start to our holiday.

I took my husband to Ristorante Life for his birthday. We had such an amazing time there, the food was fresh and delicious. The wine menu was wonderful and the ambience was fantastic. We sat on the terrace area. The staff were all lovely, with professional service and they also went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday feel very special. Would definitely recommend.

We decided on the six course tasting menu. Fantastic service, and impressive presentation of each of the dishes. Our menu was designed by the Chef‘s experience along the route from his home near Napoli to Rome. Everything was really amazing.
