The great reviews are correct. Great food, wine, service. Could not have been happier. I chose an expensive wine and the hostess told us about less expensive better wines. Incredible.

Ad Hoc was recommended to us by friends -, we were not disappointed. Our whole experieince from the food, the service, the atmosphere was superb. We really enjoyed our 'tasting of the land' menu, which we have to say was off the highest quality we have ever eaten. We would definitely recommend you try Ad Hoc when you visit Rome.

My husband booked this restuarant online for our 10 year wedding anniversary. I have to say it was absolutely brilliant. We both had the tasing menu with wine (one fish based and one Roman). They variety and standard was amazing. The wine was matched perfectly. The service was friendly, informative and respectful. With a complimentary drink on arrival, a gift... More

I made on-line reservations after a friend returned from Rome raving about Ad Hoc (very convenient.) After being greeted by a lovely young woman and seated at our table, we were treated to a cold glass of white wine and a delicious amuse bouche. That set the stage for a wonderful meal- a bread basket filled with a wide variety... More

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and it was by far our favorite meal in Rome! We arrived and were immediately welcomed, our table was ready, and our server was extremely friendly. Our table was near the entrance, but I did notice what some of the other reviewers mentioned about it being open to the kitchen towards the back...... More

Ad Hoc was a WONDERFUL experience for our first night in Rome. The "tasting" menu offered some incredible options paired with excellent wine. I would definitely recommend going here...and I will definitely be back.

Based largely upon Trip Advisor reviews, my wife and I enjoyed a "farewell to Rome" dinner at this wonderful restaurant. We were not disappointed. The easy to find restaurant is simply, but elegantly decorated with a splendid display of its extensive wine collection. Small intimate dining tables are placed to allow easy movement with a degree of privacy. The menu... More
