    A Wonderful Restaurant in a great Location. We had a lovely table near the windows, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy. The food was absolutely delicious — we really loved it! The portions were generous and rich. We tried pasta, pizza, salad, antipasti, and scaloppine — everything was very tasty. The service was also excellent: very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant and hope to visit again soon! ❤️🔝

    Good food, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere. Don't know why the house wine isn't served with proper wine glasses 😂. Other than that, all good. I recommend the restaurant.

    The staff is really friendly and attentive. The food is average at best. Was also surprised as it was the first Italian local restaurant that didn’t even offer digestif/aperitif.

    Food was excellent, the restaurant was comfortable and the reservation process was easy. Prices were slowly higher than expected but the discount for making the reservation with the app made up for it.

    Excellent service and very good freshly prepared food. Place is a bit off the beaten path, however worth the effort. Inside the restaurant very nice and interesting, outside a bit less because of surroundings.Very close to busy canal bars for a pre or after drink. Hope to be back soon.

    Jada our server was amazing! She explained the dishes and when we couldn’t decide suggested half portions of a few pastas! Yummy! Pizza and pastas were great! Will definitely visit next time we’re in Milano!

    They were very kind and attentive. The food came out quickly. The food was good. The pasta didn’t seem fleshy made, nor did the calamari (it was both chewy and mushy- meaning it wasn’t fresh). It had good flavor but wasn’t fresh. The Mellon and ham was good. It they didn’t give any attention to detail. Parts of the skin were still on the Mellon and some of the seeds were too. Only few things need to be adjusted and this place could be amazing.

    We had a very nice evening here and prices where good. At first we thought that the place seemed a bit touristy- but finally it was only Italien customers and us in the restaurant. Everything tasted good and portions where generous:)

    Nice atmosphere, although it can feel a bit hectic, packed, and chaotic during peak dining hours. Food is great and delicious, there's a good variety of options to choose from and all are authentic dishes from Roman cuisine. One of my favorite restaurants in the Navigli area, it wasn't my first time here and won't be the last one. It's also reasonably priced and easily affordable.
