A fantastic eatery in the area that serves exceptional food. It's advisable to make a reservation or arrive well before 7:00 PM since the restaurant fills up quickly. It's no surprise considering how delicious the food was. For dessert, I ordered tiramisu and was initially...disappointed to see it stored in a fridge, giving the impression it might have been store-bought. However, after tasting it, I can confidently say it's the best tiramisu I've ever had in Italy! Prices are fair and maybe a little higher but worth it!More

The restaurant was recommended as having the best pasta in all of Rome and it did not fail. Paolo was friendly and gracious. He brought as delicious starters and guided our food choices. As the dishes arrived, I thought the next one couldn’t possibly be...better than the last, but it was. Dessert choices were amazing. After we ate, three bottles of after dinner liquors were placed on the table for our tasting. If we had more time in Rome, we would go back again. This is the one restaurant you can not miss while in Rome. The service was outstanding and the food is exceptional.More

Great authentic Italian restaurant with exceptional service and really great food. We felt so looked after and ordered two pastas and drinks and they were delicious and really reasonably priced for the portions of pasta! We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Rome!

We visited here due to good reviews, but couldn't be more disappointed. I had the carbonara, pasta undercooked and sauce stodgy, very little pancetta. My friend had seafood risotto. When it arrived it smelled horrendously fishy, made us suspicious of the freshness. The rice was...undercooked, watery liquid in the bowl. Then there was the seafood. Huge amounts of grossly coloured octopus. Totally overloaded. My friend is a real foodie and it turned her stomach. We hardly touched our meals. Complained about the food when they took the plates away, had E10 knocked off. Good of him, but didn't compensate at all for the extremely disappointing meal. 2 nights in Rome so far, 2 terrible meals at 4stat restaurants. I'm starting to think this country doesn't know what good food is.More

Really friendly staff who made me feel really welcome despite us not being able to speak Italian. The food was delicious, I had the ravioli and my wife had the carbonara - both were exquisite. Probably the best meal we have had whilst visiting Italy....It felt like a real, authentic Roman dining experience.More

I have eaten here twice since moving to Roma. Both times were very good. Friendly staff and service. We were on the early side of dinner for Italy, but able to get a table after a short wait. They have a large menu and everything...my friends and I have tried has been good. They have a unique type of roman artichoke. The pizza and house red wine were all very good as was the grilled lamb, roast pork and beans and pork. The mixed salad is nice to share. I will be back.More

Having eaten in a number of different locations in Rome, we felt that the quality of the food was average. The quantity of food was large in most cases. The house wine was an easy drink and well priced. The food arrived very quickly which...is always concerning as it means it was not freshly cooked. The chicken was cooked but cold in the centre so we sent it back. They kindly produced a brand new portion, but the centre was still not piping hot. The pasta dishes and the seafood were freshly cooked, and they were the better dishes that we ordered. This restaurant has a lot of covers, and must pre cook meat dishes for speed. The service was quick, but just a little too quick.More

The place was recommended to us as a good place to eat in Rome, I wouldn’t recommend it! All food is extremely salty, the pasta arrived 30 mins later than the rest of the order and the dish was literally soaked in olive oil. Do...you really need that amount of oil for a carbonara pasta dish?More
