Romantic MUST!!!! - OMG!!!!! This is a romantic must! Small group setting (6-8 couples), overlooking Rome…So romantic (view of Rome, Wine & Opera singing)!
We were celebrating our 15th Anniversary & this by far was one of the best things that we did! Their singing & storyline was beautiful…
They are the nicest people, even dedicated a song to my wife for anniversary! This is a Romantic “MUST” in Rome, save money elsewhere, spend money on this… what an experience such an iconic view
P.S. tip your waiter & our guy kept the wine flowing!

A Fun & Unique Experience in the Heart of Rome - My mother and I were in Rome for the first time, so we were looking for unique experiences. We found this option, and thought it would be very fun. The weather was a little gloomy, but it didn't matter, as the musical performance was magnificent. The artists, Paola and Francescoantonio, sang 12-15 songs and provided us a great performance. The wine could have been a bit more plentiful (two glasses only), but the performance itself was a very fun time. After the performance, we had the opportunity to meet the artists and tell them how wonderful their show was. If you are looking for something different in the heart of the city, I recommend this show.

Wonderful opera experience with amazing views - What a delightful and unique experience! We’ve had the opportunity to visit Rome and other parts of Italy a number of times. Found this new experience on Tripadvisor and it lived up to our high expectations. It’s completely worth the price and time to experience this. The view is stunning since rarely have the rooftop views been this expansive and clear. Paola, Francescoantonio and pianist Tae Kim were just magical. the selection of aria was a nice array so that even I could recognize some of the songs although I am not an avid opera visitor. The staff was very attentive with check-in, appetizers and drinks. Refills were nicely and elegantly timed. Much appreciated the refills. The day last week was clear and blustery, so a little rattling from the bar’s outdoor umbrella, which the staff seemed to be holding to soften the sound. Not their fault though. We even purchased their CD so we can enjoy at home. It was a small and intimate group of about 20
people but lots of space so you’re not packed right next to strangers. The bread they serve is a little hard, so maybe no need to offer. The Prosecco was good. One thing we did notice was that it appears the rooftop bar is open during the performance. There was a gentleman having a pretty lengthy and loud conversation behind us during a portion of the performance. Myself and another gentleman asked them to please keep it down. And he did. That’s not performers or staff’s fault, but something for the hotel to reconsider since for the price, exclusivity and beauty of the arias it would be better without other bar patrons talking. Overall though a highly unique and recommended experience!! Bravo!

An Enchanting Opera Evening in Rome: Music, Sunset, and Perfect Hospitality - The opera show on the rooftop of Pamphilj Palace in Rome was an unforgettable experience. As the sun set over the Eternal City, the golden hues of the sky perfectly complemented the beautiful voices of the performers. With a glass of prosecco in hand, we were transported into a world of elegance and emotion. The rooftop provided stunning panoramic views, adding to the magic of the evening. The atmosphere was both intimate and awe-inspiring, making it a night to remember. This blend of music, history, and breathtaking scenery created a truly enchanting experience. The evening was made even more special by Paola, our gracious host. Her warmth and attention to detail elevated the entire experience, making everyone feel welcome and well cared for.

Great experience with a wonderful view of Rome! - Great experience - wonderful repertoire of Italian opera favourites by to very professional performers. The snacks and wine provided were good, although the bread was a little stale. The opportunity to watch the sunset from the rooftop bar with its 360deg view of Rome was a bonus!

Book It! - This was truly a highlight of our trip! Everything was beautiful: the settting overlooking Piazza Navona, the aperitivo, and most of, the music! I’m a novice when it comes to opera, and my husband and father were skeptical, but we all walked away in a better mood. I especially loved how Paola provided the context for each song, she would explain a little about the opera and scene from which the song occurred, and even though none of us understand much Italian, we could feel the emotion and beauty of the song. My only complaint- it just flew by! This was such lovely, intimate experience- I would book it again!
We had a little glitch with a quick passing shower, and the staff at the venue was quick to pass out little parasols!

Stunningly Breathtaking - Absolutely fantastic! Nibbles on arrival (meats, cheese and bread) and choice of red, white or Prosecco wine with refills! Stunning views from the rooftop and the Opera was breathtaking, 100% would recommend a visit if you are in Rome!

Unforgettable experience - I would really thank Paola and her partner for the fantastic performance they gave. My husband and I also booked their performance months ago and very much looking forward to it. Then on the day it started thunderstorm and we thought it might be canceled. Paola returned my inquiry in time and when we arrived at the palace, she was welcoming us with all her enthusiasm and energy. We were immediately transported to the magic world of opera , of love, hate and death. It was so beautiful and present that I could feel the emotions in the room. My husband is also touched by the beauty and we vowed to come back!

The perfect birthday celebration experience. - Paola was so helpful making this the perfect surprise celebration for my partner's 50th whilst in Rome for a few days, arranging our post event meal at the stunning restaurant (with amazing views over Piazza Navona) and even dedicating a song to my partner during the performance! From the moment we arrived, we felt totally looked after by everyone at Terrazza Borromini, the food was superb and the staff on the day helpful and attentive.
We are not opera goers in any way but the performance and variety of operatic excerpts made for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable occasion - hearing the range and control an opera singer has over their voice close up made the hairs on the back of our neck stand on end and was a wonderful first experience of opera.
Thank you Paola, Jennifer, Alessandro, Massimiliano and the staff at Terazza Borromini. Simply Bellissimo...
Note: Italian addresses are harder to find for us Brits so the following may be of use - From the centre of Piazza Navona look towards the impressive baroque church (trust me, you can't miss it) and walk along the side street to the right (Via di S. Agnese in Agone). At the end turn left and the entrance to Terazza Borromini is the second building with large black doors about 10m down (opposite Cucina Romana restaurant).

An opera performance to remember - The venue is a rooftop terrace at piazza Navona with a 360degree view of the city. From the lower terrace you can see the whole Piazza Navona from above.
The performance was spectacular. A tenor and soprano accompanied by a piano. Arias were well known and performed brilliantly.
This is a Must See event in Rome. Bravos
