Description: La Fontana di Venere is a small, delightful restaurant located in an ancient building in the centre of Rome, near the Trevi Fountain. The owners will welcome you heartily and make you feel like part of the family. You’ll take a seat, and maybe the person sitting next to your table will be a taxi driver enjoying a well-deserved rest with his family. He’ll tell you how much beautiful Rome is and will talk about a niche that only he knows. Or maybe you will meet some travellers and then you’ll have a little talk about the memories and emotions that every journey leaves inside us. Every day and every night, in this little corner of the ancient Rome, the ritual is repeated: dozens of people come here to rediscover the flavours which made the Roman cuisine famous and it seems like you’re having dinner with many friends. Come in, relax, look at your neighbour and enhance your presence with a smile, you have a lot of stories to tell each other….

My friend and I ate here on my friend's last night in Rome. We wanted to eat somewhere close to the Trevi Fountain or Pantheon, and we chose this place after searching on Yelp. It was a two minute walk from the Trevi on a side street away from all of the crowds. The food was great. I ordered the... More

We had a wonderful, intimate dinner in Rome at La Fontana. It is a little hard to find, but worth the time to locate. Staff was extremely attentive and food was delicious. Monica, our server, gave great suggestions and made the experience even better.

Visited for dinner and tricky to find even with a smart phone with GPS. It's worth it. Fabulous food great service and all at a very reasonable price. Tucked away literally 5 minutes elk from the Trevino Fountain. We hadn't reserved a table but one soon became available. Highly recommended.
