10/10This little pearl a few strides away from the Colosseum is perfect! My daughter Lea’s all time favorite to eat yummy cannelloni, sun dried tomatoes and enjoy a delicious Amareto sour Do not forget to order the Cheesecake it is amazing The two brothers that own the restaurant are kind and made Lea feel special and at home A place to remember

10/10A true Italian restaurant. Family owned. Mama’s cheese cake is out of this world! We were a party of four. We all enjoyed our appetizers and meals! They change the menu seasonally. I look forward to returning .

10/10A classy restaurant tucked away behind the Colosseum. Food was delicious, I had fresh artichokes, risotto with black truffle and a pistachio semi-freddo. A good choice for parties with less adventurous eaters as also some familiar (very well executed) options such as lasagne. Service was perfect, price extremely reasonable. 100% recommend.

10/10The food and service were both excellent. The night we were there, the restaurant was empty. It is a few blocks off the main path, making it pleasantly quiet. I would recommend to anyone.

6.5/10Good Primi Secondi was ok… if you bring Heinz ketchup to blend in as a mix show at the table (biff tartare), you are really trying not to hit top notch…. Heinz is for McDonalds, not something you show off if you want inpact and have a nice restaurant expirience.

10/10On a 9 day trip exploring central and southern Italy and I will definitively say this was one of the best restaurants we experienced in regards to food flavor, quality, presentation, ambiance, and stellar service. A definite must try.

10/10This cozy restaurant has friendly, attentive staff, with pleasant dinner music playing. We shared all of our courses...had cod rolls, spinach and ricotta cannelloni and for the main, we had the braised beef cheek. All of the food was amazingly delicious. Tiramisu for dessert and limoncello to end it all. Great wine selection as well. This was our last meal in a month long trip to Italy and this was one of the best meals we had.
