10/10Great little spot for our last meal in Rome, great service and food to match, the Risotto fruit de mer was out of this world as was to more simple gnocchi in ragu sauce. Would recommend highly

9.5/10We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We picked it because it was on the way home from colosseum, but it turned out to be a very nice dinner!

10/10We sat downstairs which had a lovely ‘wine cellar’ ambience. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were very welcoming. Definitely will return on our next visit to Rome.

9.5/10Really nice place! The waiters were really nice to us, the prices were pretty low considering it’s in Rome. The food was delightful and we hope we can enjoy it once more.

7.5/10Great place for pasta and pizza if you are in the area. We went for lunch but saw the place at night time and believe it's a lot worth it to go for dinner as they have a very nice terrace (if possible ask to be seated outside when booking). Service was great but a bit understaffed.

2/10The experience was terrible. The waiting staff was unfriendly and stared a lot. It was clear they did not want to be there and is creative a negative atmosphere. In addition to this, we are American and we were not given the same level of service as Italian diners. I ordered a Margherita pizza and my boyfriend ordered lasagna, we were given an American cheese pizza and a huge shapeless slice of lasagna on white plates. We noticed other diners (Italians) received beautifully plated food on elegant black plates. This was our first experience we could tell we were treated differently based on nationality. My boyfriend and I were dressed nice and felt the photos on the app looked amazing, we were mistaken. This was easily the worst meal we had during our two week travel across Italy

10/10We were a group of 8 and dined in the main room downstairs where there was a lovely atmosphere with very nice decoration. Smiley, attentive waitress, great food, an excellent selection of wines, nice service and you could see the food being prepared in the kitchen. Very good all round- bravo!

10/10Fantastic food and service. Steak was amazing as was wine. Reserved via ‘fork’ which promised 30% off which was not received. However didn’t impair on lovely evening as worth every penny.

3.5/10DO NOT GET THE MIXED GRILLED MEAT. It was the worst meat my family has ever had. Everything was subpar.
