6 MINUTES FROM FIUMICINO AIRPORT
The sea, before or after your flight
Departure monitors, long queues, and waiting times. And then there’s you—just 6 minutes from the airport—seated with a glass of wine in hand and the taste of the sea on your plate. Follis is the restaurant and American Bar where a layover or a landing is transformed into a memorable culinary experience. Open for lunch and until late every day, we are the ideal choice even when your flight schedule is not.
LOCATION
From boarding to table
In the heart of Fiumicino, just a 6-minute drive from the airport, Follis is located at Via della Torre Clementina 146. A short transfer is all it takes to step away from the airport hustle and step into the serene atmosphere of the harbor. It is the perfect destination whether you have a lunch-hour layover, a long wait before an evening flight, or have just landed and want to start your journey with authentic Italian seafood cuisine.
Quality in detail
From the Aquarium to the Plate
At Follis, the sea takes center stage, a promise you can see with your own eyes. Every morning we select the finest catch, transforming it into freshly prepared tartare and raw seafood, a curated oyster selection, and classic Italian dishes. The centerpiece of it all is our live aquarium: blue lobster, spiny lobster, and live crustaceans that you can personally select to be enjoyed grilled, alla catalana, or in an exceptional pasta dish. An experience that, before or after your flight, offers a taste of both home and travel.
AMERICAN BAR
Your journey begins at the counter
Your layover can just as easily start with a cocktail. The American Bar is the heartbeat of Follis: from 7:00 pm, the rhythm changes, time slows down, and the experience begins. Our signature drinks are crafted with refined ingredients and homemade preparations, alongside international classics featuring top-shelf spirits. Among our house signatures is Conte in Botte®, our barrel-aged Negroni that has become a registered trademark. We also offer a thoughtful non-alcoholic selection for those driving or preferring an alcohol-free alternative. Stop by even for a quick drink, perhaps paired with oysters and raw seafood, before continuing your journey.
THE WINE CELLAR
A toast before takeoff
Our wine selection is an ever-evolving map of the world’s finest terroirs: over 600 labels celebrating winemakers, tradition, and innovation. The list features Champagne, artisanal and organic wines, local expressions, and bottles ranging from Burgundy to the Alps and volcanic terroirs.
Through our by-the-glass selection, you can enjoy fine wines and sparkling options, from Franciacorta Brut to Rosé, perfectly paired with raw seafood and oysters. The wine list is also accessible digitally from your table using a simple smartphone via AiBacco, which offers AI-powered pairing recommendations for every label.
Your destination, even in transit
We aim to be your trusted destination even when you're just passing through. A place where you will always find high quality, warm hospitality, and the ideal solution for your needs: a quick yet refined lunch, a seafood dinner, or simply an exceptional drink before heading to your gate.
