Excellent dinner. Food was amazing (especially the gnocchi). Owner was extremely friendly, spending time with customers and providing great recommendations. He clearly loves what he does and it shows in the quality of the food and service they provide!

We visit every time we are in Rome. We have enjoyed every bite- simple, classic, Roman food.

Mixed salad was 90% iceberg lettuce. Carbonara was too salty to finish, literally the worst I have had in Rome, just awful.

Went with my wife. Ordered food and salads were very delicious then came the rest. Four couples came after us and some gottheir food well before we did as I had to complain. When it came it was lukewarm. Just before it came the older lady came and said it takes time then my question was why others got same meals that came after us. Then I noticedmy glass had chip at top the owner grabbed it and put it behind the counter quickly.

Hive of activity due to overwhelming popularity. What a fantastic evening. No it's not the most solubrious setting but it's truly typical Italian . Great service although missing an edge because of how busy it was . Great food served hot and tasty. Nice desert. Good house wine Very fair price. From an excellent family run business. Thank you

Great food. Nice menu full of options. Service with Emiliano was fabulous. Family experience with 6 people was excellent. Wine was very good with nice selection. Very reasonable prices too. I recommend this restaurant for a casual lunch or dinnerin Rome. Nice location too... not noisey or crowded.

If you are planning a visit during the summer season, I highly recommend trying the cantaloupe and prosciutto dish. It is an exceptionally refreshing culinary experience. Our meal was exquisite, and the service was impeccable. Notably, the establishment is frequented by locals, indicating its affordability and popularity. Additionally, the lemon cello is highly recommended, and the overall freshness of the food was exceptional.

The owner himself, Philippo ( I think!), came to our table and made recommendations for meals and wine. Everything was amazing and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return if I am ever in Rome.

Great spot on via Lombardia off via Veneto. We were warmly greeted & seated by the owner Filippo. He made great recommendations on every course & the wine. The food & desserts were wonderful & homemade. There was no rushing us. Frequented by locals & tourists alike. Also family, children friendly. Highly recommend. Closed on Sunday

Im so happy I gave this restaurant a try while in Rome this week. The service was incredibly friendly and the menu had all of the classics you’d want to see and the food quality was rich and delightful. We tried two kinds of bruschetta, each had a pasta dish for our main and ordered two desserts to share. The bruschetta was fresh and the tomatoes stole the show! The pasta dishes gave rich flavors and we each tried a classic (carbonara, cacio e Pepe and Alfredo w/ mushrooms). The portion was very filling and we each tried each others to get a taste of something different. We all had a couple fork fulls of pasta left when we stopped ourselves to leave room for dessert. The choices seem to be different depending on the day, and the server listed them off with great detail. You can tell how much he believes in the food quality. The cannoli was incredible and this night, there was a lemon cake with a limoncello crème under a meringue. My mother said it was to die for! So happy we tried this spot out and wish them all the best. So kind and wonderful to us!

Not a great food experience. Food quality just not there. Owner told us he slaved over making desserts at 5am, but they were just the same frozen dessert they have at other touristy restaurants. We won’t be back.
