Passport required - Edit
I decided to dine at this restaurant for my last day in Roma. It is in what is apparently a high-end hotel on a very small street that does not appear on many maps and is difficult to find, and there is no sign indicating how to get to the restaurant when entering the lobby. After greeting the woman at the desk with "Buona Sera," I asked how to get to the ristorante. She said it is "only for vegetarians" and I said I am a vegetarian. She seemed perturbed by my answer and asked me if I had a reservation and I said "no" and she called the ristorante and said they had a table but I could not sit on the terrace and had to sit inside. When I agreed she told me that in order to be admitted to the restaurant, she had to see my passport and make a copy! As I had never heard of a restaurant requiring a passport, mine was in my hotel room safe. She said: "No passport, no admittance." Not being able to enter the restaurant, I am unable to review the food, but the attitude of the woman at the hotel front desk was stunningly arrogant and demeaning—and as is a policy requiring a passport for admittance . I was not wearing a coat and tie, but I was by no means unkempt or dressed shabbily or in shorts and sandals—but the issue seemed to be that I was not "the right kind of people" so I warn anyone considering this restaurant.

Dear Guest,
Read moreWe are deeply sorry to hear about your experience, but we appreciate you sharing it with us, as it gives us a chance to explain it from our side and of course to improve our service.
Regarding the request of an ID, we would like to assure you that it was in no way meant to insult you, it is our standard security procedure for external guests. Given the tragic and disturbing events in the world over the past year, it is only natural that everybody is more vigilant and that security concerns are more topical than ever, especially in Rome that due to the Jubilee year is even on a higher alert. We hope you will understand that the only reason for these measures is the safety of our dear guests.
An ID is requested for every external guest with no exceptions and usually our colleagues at Front Desk make sure to explain the reasons for it in a very polite and friendly way. We apologize if in your case this message was not delivered properly.
We hope you will give us a chance to make up for this misunderstanding and to extend the real Raphaël hospitality to you on a different occasion. It will be our pleasure to offer you a glass of champagne and our organic canapés as a compliment of the house. Please be so kind as to send us your contact details at quality@raphaelhotel.it
Kind regards,
Roberto E. Vannoni, Olga Rudnychenko and the entire Hotel Raphaël Team

Beautiful food in a beautiful setting - Edit
Each dish is so beautiful that I wanted to frame it and hang it on my wall, but luckily I overcame that urge and ate the food instead. It was as delicious as it looked, and I especially liked the addition of pansies on each of the dishes to tie them all together. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, too, and were very attentive to everything we needed and questions we had about the menu. Everything is vegetarian, organic and bio, which was an amazing thing to find in a large hotel in central Rome. There were plenty of vegan options, and they even created an amazing vegan dessert for me. I could happily eat here every day!
