First, the good. The restaurant has a pleasant interior, the staff are friendly, the service was good. Our octopus appetizer was delicious, and the bread was very good, especially when used to dip the tasty sauce that the octopus came in. Note: The wine list seems to be 95+% white, which is fine since it is a seafood restaurant, although we are a couple of those weirdos who prefer red with practically everything. The Chardonnay we chose was excellent. Now the not so good. My wife ordered the Tonarelli with crab, I had the same with lobster. The pasta was nicely al dente, with a very good tomato sauce. However, mine had barely a large spoonful of lobster, with an empty bit of shell that was purely decorative - it looked like the lobster might have been barely six inches long, probably a juvenile that would have been illegal to catch back home. The crab consisted of pieces of shell, legs, and a small claw from which my wife could hardly get any meat at all. We might have done better to order a seafood dish and not the pasta, but we’ll never know since we are not going back.

Wonderful fresh seafood, and excellent service. I have been coming here for years--first to buy fish, then to enjoy the food prepared by their expert chefs.

Very good fresh seafood and intimate, local atmosphere. It's Sicilian-style seafood and we were the only non-Sicilians in the place. We felt like we were in a small neighborhood in Palermo. The polpette in vino were excellent although they could've been hotter. And the homemade tiramisu is one of the best I've had in Rome.

Nice quality of seafood. Limited choice but due to season and corona circumstances understandable. Prices for Rome ok. Dinner for 3 was 140 Euros. Winelist a good choice with fair prices.

The resturant didn’t receive my booking done on the app. I was not the only one with this problem. Another couple had the same issue. Luckily the restaurant manager found a place for us and told us that the app “The Fork” is not reliable for booking. It creates them a lot of problems...

Fish was really fresh and nicely cooked. Service was quick, efficient and the owner is friendly. The place is a bit small but it does not disturb at all. It also serves take away! Worth to come back indeed
