TUNA

The Via Veneto is a street known in the past for hosting many celebrities and socialites taking a holiday in Roma. This magnolia tree-lined street has many lavish four and five star hotels and extravagant restaurants that can cost over 100 euro for two. I tried out a trendy place called TUNA with my cousin Jeana, in celebration of her birthday.

The setting was a completely white ristorante. The chairs, table clothes, decorations, and flowers were stark white. The most colorful thing inside was the gigantic cooler of fresh seafood resting atop chipped ice. Seafood is Tuna's specialty as they boast that they have the best fresh selection around. We ordered the Chef's Fantasy to start; this plate was mixed raw fish and crustaceans and it was delicious. Next, I had a huge red lobster that was simply steamed and plated. The presentation was simple yet elegant.

The whole dining experience as a whole was spectacular. To top it off, we enjoyed to bubbling glasses of Champagne to celebrate how lucky we were to be spending time together in Rome. Shortly after, the 134 euro check came as the grand finale to this dining event.
