    The food was very bad. It was like ir wasn't cooked by a professional chef.

    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.

    We came to this restaurant on our last night in Rome, hoping to eat papaddle- the menu on fork is not current, but nevertheless the food was amazing! Staff were attentive to my daughters peanut allergy and the ambience and pride in their food and service was felt from the moment we arrived until we left. The waitress gave my daughter a hug when she expressed her gratitude for alleviating her anxiety about eating out (we had a serious medical issue in a Florence restaurant due to cross contamination and as a result she is extremely anxious to find out). Lovely location away from tourists yet close to the hustle and bustle for a stroll afterwards. Highly recommend!

    Lovely. Food and service were both delightful, with each dish showcasing creativity that took it beyond the norm. Our best meal in Rome to date.

    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.

    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.

    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.
