If you are looking for an authentic restorant, wellcoming with special food with excelent service, you found it. Few tables, a litle beat close to each other with nice Italian dishes. We went out very satisfied!

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great menu, beautifully cooked and served. Averagely priced. One night we were a group of 18 and our table had to be divided. This did not present a huge problem though.

Good atmosphere, personal touch and good food. Although I think it's not the most important thing, the prices were nice as well.

We turned up without a reservation, so had to wait - only 5/10 minutes or so. It was a mid-week evening and it was full - always a good sign. Not far from the Spanish Steps but out of the tourist scrum. Short-ish menu, as all cooked to order. Delicious, local dishes with fresh ingredients. Nice ambience, but tables very... More

We liked the ambiance of the restaurant and our appetizer was good. However we were surprised to see that we were charged for the small basket of bread placed on our table that we never asked for. We also found it tacky that the server gave us the bill and said "tip not included".

This was the cutest, intimate restaurant in Rome. It is close to the Spanish Steps, but away from the crowds. We did not have reservations the night we stopped by, but were immediately accomodated. Since it was a day before our 5-year anniversary, we decided to just use this meal as our anniversary dinner. Best decision ever! My husband had... More

Atmosphere was slightly quieter for us but it may be because we had an early dinner, but it was starting to fill up as we left. Food came... More

We shared a seafood entree which consisted of there different portions, one was prawns with lentils, another was a sea bass tartar and the third a scallop... More
