We decided to try this restaurant based on reviews and location (we stayed near the Vatican). However, the night we decided to go it was closed. Not sure why, but it was a little before 10 on a Wednesday night. Just make sure you have a back-up in case you find it closed.

The second time I went to the restaurant the owner remembered my face and welcomed me back! Although the kitchen was closing, he managed to get a few options to the table. It impressed me and my guests, specially when they went over the top and gave us a complimentary antipasti. The food was outstanding and the location is second... More

The best place close to the Vatican! We found the restaurant searching an other one... The service and the welcome make you feel at home. Main course was very good and the home wine is just perfect!

After our visit of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, my friend and I were looking for a restaurant and we stumbled upon Bistrot 23. It looked really cool from the outside so we went in and were not disappointed. The waiter was very nice and helpful, food was good and I fancied a lot their wine classes (really... More

My wife and I had a very nice dinner at Bistrot 23 this evening. Unfortunately the restaurant was very quiet, probably because it was in February and it is off the main track back from the Vatican museums, even though it is less than 5 minutes walk away. We received great food and service, by far the best during our... More
