Overnighted at an airport hotel and wanted one last dinner of local fare. This was an excellent choice. Menu items included both traditional and creative items. Server was attentive and helpful with the menu. Owner even offered a homemade radish digestivo. Prices were affordable however taxi fare can be 25-40 euros depending on time of day. But do not let taxi fares stop you. This is a wonderful final night experience.

Highlight -eclectic additions to menu -smoked goose; lovely helpful staff. Uniquely picturesque, log cabin, dining room. Decent wine list. Menu is for meat lovers! Next time we will share a steak. Unfortuately. this time pork bellies almost all fat. Pasta too al dente for us. Seems to be very popular despite parking challenges.

What a way to spend our last dinner in Rome. Read some good reviews and after a short taxi from our hotel we found this amazing restaurant. Service was great, spare rib appetizer was great. Large wine selection. Started with pasta and it was some of the best we’ve had. Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe followed by filet with mushrooms and tagliata steak. Dessert was awesome, de constructed tiramisu was delicious and almond basket just as good and very unique. Highly recommend.

The food was excellent and beautifully plated. The staff was attentive and responsive. If you are caught near FCO and have time for dinner- we highly recommend.

Perhaps the greatest meal we’ve had in Italia! Ever. For perspective, we’re in Italy 10 times a year for 14 days at a time or more, from north to south, east west, Sardegna to Sicily. The owner is spectacular and service is remarkable. We will be back. Hidden local gem.

We were wanting to end our vacation with a nice dinner. This restaurant was within walking distance from our lodgings. We were pleased with the attentiveness of the staff as well as the quality of the food. Even though we arrived at 22:30 we were treated like guests of honor and the food was remarkable. Attention was given both to presentation as well as taste. We ordered a variety of dishes and nothing disappointed. Our favorite was the cheese platter. Amazing… We only wish we could dine here without having to travel all the way to Rome. ???? Absolutely 5 stars ⭐️

This was a wonderful find on our last night in Italy before flying home. The food was excellent, the service and hospitality outstanding. We asked for recommendations from our server who was patient with our (very!) limited Italian and everything she suggested exceeded expectations. This trip was in celebration of an important anniversary for us, and this restaurant made our last night joyful and delicious!

Our last evening in Rome, found this restaurant online with good reviews and was extremely pleased with the choice. Food was amazing and the staff was very attentive and friendly. They made everyone feel welcome and helped with any questions on the food. Probably one of the best meals we had while in Italy.

Great spot if you're looking for some dinner near FCO. Quality of the steak was truly world class. Italian filet was definitely dry aged (smell hit me as soon as they dropped it on the table) and way more marbled than I expected. Absolutely delicious family fun/local spot.

The service was excellent as was the food. Very reasonably priced and delicious. It was also a treat to be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco upon arrival. This is an excellent place for dinner if staying near the airport!

This restaurant features some very creative and interesting dishes. It has a pleasant outdoor dining area that is covered, and a smaller area that is open air with trees. We really appreciated the personal attention that we received and the interest that the owner/chef showed in our opinions about the food. He also offered us a Prosecco to begin with and a wonderful, unique anise digestivo at the end. The name implies countercurrent, and that is exactly what it does with its menu. Some of the dishes are recognizable, but with a unique and interesting twist. It is located in a small street near the port, and is nicely out of the way. Well worth a visit.
