Great food accompanied by great service. Left with smiles and full bellies.

nothing to write home about.

The restaurant was very busy on Christmas Eve so we had to stand outside in the rain whilst the hostess got our table ready. Once settled, the food was good and the wine selection reasonable. The waitress was very helpful and friendly.

We were in the cellar, which looked really nice but the food was terrible. The meat was really bad, hardly able to chew it. We didn’t eat it all. The service was terrible, without any politeness whatsoever. And the bill was way too high for the quality of the food that was served. If you go off the Main Street there are plenty restaurants that serve better food for the same price or even less.

I was very disappointed with the food. I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole, and it was honestly the most poorly prepared version I’ve ever had. The sauce was bland, several of the clam shells were broken, and I kept biting on small shell fragments — I was genuinely worried I might break a tooth. The dish was topped with dried bottarga instead of fresh, which made the flavor less enjoyable. I wasn’t expecting a dried version in a restaurant that features this dish on the menu. Overall, it was an unpleasant meal, and the wine was very mediocre as well.

best food we had in Rome by far
7.0
Food was average. The drink was not good (Hugo Spritz), service was horrible (has difficulty ordering several times). The place is nice, but that's all. I'd rather good food, service and drink than an instagramable place.

Not to service oriented But good food

Took quite some time for the waiter to take the orders and when he did he was more interested in chatting than actually paying attention to the customers. He then proceeded to ask at the end of the meal for a tip, which I am pretty sure was included in the service charges but I found that very unusual since it should be something that is based on service and dependent on the individuals themselves to give not asked for.

The food was alright, nothing amazing compared to other spots. It was quite busy and it felt awkward having to eat outside when there were people waiting for tables watching us eat.

I booked a table prior to arriving in Rome we arrived early and said we would take a table outside rather than wait for one inside, we were served well for drinks and food order but once food arrived I was not offered Parmesan or pepper etc someone on the next table offered us his Parmesan as was ignored and also not asked if all was ok and never had any interaction until we asked for the bill maybe need to be a bit more attentive to guests outside even in March 😊
