The food was excellent. We ate cacio e pepe and carmponara, both of them was 10/10.However, the big hit of the restaurant is tiramisu! Don’t hesitate and go straight to it.

We came back here after a first experience 2 years ago and were told that the ownership changed. No problem, as the place is still quiet and peaceful, even though it is just 150 metres away from the busiest parts of Trastevere. Hospitality is top, the quality of the food above average, and prices are moderate. One of the classics on our shortlist for Trastevere.

Best food we’ve had in Rome!!! Tried three different appetizers, all were delicious. Main courses also very creative and delicious - the dessert was out of this world! Lovely decor and super friendly staff. We enjoyed it tremendously and will most certainly come back next time we will be in Rome.

Lovely food and ambiance, in Trastevere, but mostly Italians eating there.

One of my favourite places in Trastevere. This restaurant is tucked away in a quiet street, but just two minutes from Piazza Mastai. It has indoor and outdoor seating. I had lunch on a Monday here, so it was quite quiet, but I noticed that during the same evening it was lively. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. The food is very good. I had Caponata as a starter, followed by a delicious Pasta Carbonara (the sauce was better than many I have tried). Overall, I found this a very relaxing place for lunch and the prices were reasonable, including the wine. Highly recommended.

Overall it’s a nice place to have dinner outside and chill. Waiters were super nice and the plates arrived quickly. Some dishes are just okay. Caponata was a delicious starter, but then the rest… Stewed beef with potatoes dish needs more flavour, Cacio E Pepe less cheese and the dessert “Not usual” Tiramisu is not a banger. Overall just an ok meal. Besides that we had a great evening. People smiling in a quiet street in Rome made our experience pleasant.

The staff was incredibly welcoming, and I love their story! The food was beautifully presented, and the taste was excellent. The desserts were incredible- save room for at least 2! Wine selection and presentation was lovely. Plateware and environment was beautiful and high end, but comfortable. Highly recommend.

It is a great place, feels like local family owned place, a little aside from the noise, and still very close to the action! Strongly recommended.

Good food (the pasta was bit too salty). Relaxed and quiet atmosphere, good if you want to get out from the Trastevere mess, less if you want to be in the center of the movida. Service was good, some mess up with the wine (and not a real 0,2 for the wine by the glass). Good overall.

A quiet corner in the very busy Trastevere neighborhood brought a welcome reprieve to enjoy this wonderful meal. Our waitress, Daniela, beautifully guided us from appetizer (beautifully presented stuffed zucchini flowers), to first and second courses (pasta all’Amatriciana, sea bass, meatballs) wine and dessert (a creamy panna cotta topped with glazed almonds). We could not have had a better experience.
