Your first eating experience in a new country can set the mood for your entire vacation. Our first night in Rome we set out to find an elusive recommended place called Hi-Res near our Hotel. We should have gotten better instructions. Instead we wandered around for a hour looking at ground level. We finally found Hi-Res on the 4th floor... More

Roof top atmosphere?! All you see are other buildings' ugly roof tops!! Very expensive and the food are not that good at all. Service not as expected with this kind of price too. Did not enjoy the place, especially they allow people to smoke! Will not recommend this place.

The price was a little high but would expect to pay the same if not more for a similar restaurant in the UK.The views over Rome were just stunning and the excellent food made this perfect setting for a honeymoon meal.The friendly service also made it a night to remember.

I loved the view and the fact that it was quiet and chilled instead of the throngs of tourists when you sit at ground level. The music was nice, waiters ok, food pretty good, but sitting high up with the super views and nice drinks was the best for me.

Excellent service, food with a twist (not cheap), great views. Must be amazing in summertime, but even in wintertime it was very pleasantly warm.

Over priced for quality of food. For romantic dinner, the location and atmosphere of this place was a misleading first impression. The rooftop ultra cool contemporary space is welcoming in itself, as were staff. That's pretty much where the good times ended. On reflection should have been more assertive at this point considering how gushingly apologetic staff were when we... More

Went to Hi Res when myself and friend were in Rome for the first time in August as was recommended by Lonely Planet. Didn't eat here but had a bottle of wine which was brought over and kept on ice (nice touch) and we were both given a complimentary plate of nibbles and some breadsticks which I thought was great...

Went here on a Wednesday night on our first night in Rome. We weren't sure what to expect given recent reviews but said we would chance it given its location and proximity to the Spanish steps and Piazza del Popolo which we wanted to see after dinner. We actually walked in around 6pm hoping to get an early dinner but... More

My daughter turned 21 while we were in Rome a few weeks ago. Our concierge recommened the Hi-Res to us as we were looking for something special for a celebration. The dining expereince was just "ok". I found the waiters to be attentive, however, not annoying as some other reviewers found. However, as non-smokers, we found the smokey atmosphere to... More
