Dinner after visit to Borghese Gallery

Do you realize your gallery visit ends (mandatory) at 15:00? I can recommend restaurants but do you want to wait around there for 3 hours?

The site I looked at today https://www.rome.net/borghese-gallery indicated the Gallery open until 7:30. If it does close at 5:00 then we'll be there until we're ushered out; then have dinner. If open until 7:30, we'll probably be ready to depart by 6:30. In any event, what is/are your recommendation(s)? We're looking for the quality of the victuals and friendly service, not "five stars".

Your ticket is a timed entry that allows only a 2 hour visit

IOW you will be ushered out at 3pm

Sorry Jon, I don’t have a dinner recommendation for you. But, as I remember, timed reservations for the Borghese Gallery are only for a 2-hour visit. Then they clear the museum for the next group to enter. So, your 13:00 visit will end at 15:00. You might like to enjoy the park or nearby neighborhood (the famous Via Veneto?) after that.

Visits to the gallery are for exactly 2 hours, no lingering:

Yes, you are in at 1pm, have to leave at 3pm. Everyone is out so the people with tickets for 3pm came come in.

Babette on Via Margutta is supposed to be quite good. We will try it in 3 weeks, after our 5-7pm Borghese visit.

Just backing up the other posters: if your reservation is for 13:00, you will not be allowed in before that hour and will be out at 15:00. All reservations are for 2-hour time slots, and the galleries are completely cleared after each of them so you will not be allowed to "linger".

As the website states:
http://galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it/en/visita/visit-the-galleria-borghese

"GALLERY VISITS
A maximum of 360 people are admitted at a time for two-hour visits according to the following schedule:
9 to 11 a.m. / 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. / 1 to 3 p.m. / 3 to 5 p.m. / 5 to 7 p.m."

I want to thank you for the question. I had the same one though when we go we are at the 3pm to 5pm time slot. I guess the only answer you got was "Babette's."

For a meal before or after the galleria visit, perhaps you would enjoy Taverna Rossini. They are open all day but outside of the major tourist zone and patronized by many locals in the Parioli neighborhood. We lived near there and considered Rossini our “local.” They have a coffee bar for sandwiches and pastries, a pizzeria, and a fancier fish restaurant. The fancier side does not open until later, but the pizzeria is open from Noon until 02:00 am and offers far more than pizza with salads, pastas, and very nice mains and antipasti. I believe the coffee bar is open from 7:00 am and through the aperitivo hours.

Here is the website Taverna Rossini. The restaurant is about a 15 minutes walk from the galleria. It is on a tram line that may be handy when you depart for other points and there are several buses that are useful routes, as well.
