    The surroundings are comfortable. Great atmosphere. Wonderful family operation. Don’t ask for a tip; it is left as a personal choice, in Italy. ( one of the waiters … not a family member)

    The wine selection and eggplant appetizer was good. The pasta with rabbit/turkey/pork ragout and the beef cheek with potatoes were without any flavor whatsoever. They looked good, but had no seasoning. Very odd.

    We got chewy, underseasoned steak for 25 euro each. Service was fine. The negroni was pretty good. paid 95 euro total for dinner for 3 and left still kinda hungry and disappointed.

    Delicious appetizer (burrata, grilled octopus), however the pasta had very very little swordfish in it, a pity because the flavour was quite nice. Overall, a pleasant experience but could benefit from slightly more generous serving of some of the key ingredients.

    The starter was phenomenal, carrot, prawns and goats cheese, sadly the main (cuttlesmfish) was rather bland. Service excellent, but the door was open and we were so cold by the end of the meal that it was difficult to get warm again. Cocktails weren’t bad

    Cosy little restaurant in Monti serving delicious food with great service and nice vibe. One of my fav restaurants in Rome . Cacio de Pepe it’s one of the best I have tasted. A must go in Roma.

    Nice small restaurant with great variety of meals. The staff was very accommodating to English speaking tourists. Never felt rushed or ignored. The pecorino and pepper pasta was outstanding

    A hidden gem in Roma. The ambiance was very fun and upbeat with very eclectic music. Our server was the best we have had on our trip to Italy so far. The whole staff was welcoming and very attentive. I would highly recommend the eggplant appetizer, the carbonara, meatballs and cacio e pepe!!!! Pretty sure we are going back before the end of our holiday. They start serving at 7:30 pm. Inside and outside dining. .

    On arrival the indoor tables were mostly all open. We were disappointed that we were offered a table in a location between the bar and kitchen window that was not very pleasant because of the high staff activity in such close proximity. We declined the table and asked to be moved to a better location and was offered another location in the back that was also not very nice. We were not offered and had to ask if we could be seated at the open tables at front of the restaurant and that was accepted. Despite the poor start, the service was good. The food was excellent. I would describe it as Italian - fusion with fresh herbs and sea food.

    Great setting to get the feeling of urban Rome in a casual setting. The menu is a little more varied than the standard fare

    Great food and good service overall. The menu was not the best, I was dining with a friend from Roma and she had heavily recommended this place. But we were disappointed to find out that they have a different evening menu which is more catered for tourists, unlike their popular lunch time menu which is more authentic.

    Fabulous vibe, tasty food & drinks. Attentive service. I suppose the menu could be bigger but they’ve accommodated my request for simple green salad as a side that wasn’t on the menu. 5 stars!

    We enjoyed our meals the pumpkin soup was delicious and the amatricana made perfect. My husband had the nduja mackerel and shrimp with porcini pasta. The flavours of the food and the help with better Italian wine choice were good. Thank you for a lovely evening.
