El Maíz - Roma Prati

• ★★★★★

  El Maíz is a hidden gem in Rome--hands down one of the best casual meals I've had here. If you're craving something different from Italian food, this place delivers big time.

  AYE DIOS MIO! Not only is this place good but it’s 100% gluten free! When traveling to Italy, the last thing on my mind was finding a Venezuelan restaurant, let alone one that was gluten free. No words can explain the amazingness coming out of El Maiz. The owner, Frank, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient, and respectful. He also had such a great humor and warmth that made our experience very memorable. The empanadas de pollo was out of this world! The tostones with cabbage and carrot slaw were extremely well seasoned and delicious. However, no mater what you get, you MUST get the tarta

  Punching above, the flavors and textures are out of this world. They deserve bit larger space, it’s tight. Sad I found this place on my last day in Rome🇮🇹. They make up for the space with hospitality and and attention. Love this place.

  Got to taste my first Venezuelan food here, located just near the Vatican Museum. The food was amazing — full of flavor and the portions were quite big! Totally worth it and highly recommended if you’re in Rome.

  Super delicious! The arepa was amazing and I loved the passionfruit juice. (Beware that everything is cooked in peanut oil for any tree nut allergy folks.)
