9.5/10The 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.

10/10Great 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

10/10Im 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!

2.5/10Not 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.

4.5/10They charged us for things we haven’t ordered. The food quality is averagely good, but taking advantage of elder people and trying to trick them isn’t something to be proud of.

10/10What a find! Possibly the best pizza I had in Italy, excellent pasta, and extremely reasonable prices. Plus, I was able to get a decaf cappuccino - something that has been impossible until here! We will try to return before we go home. There was a whole fish dish that was served to a couple of tables that looked amazing.

9/10Really enjoyed this evening, maybe more so than any spent in Rome. The service and welcome by both the hostess (maybe the owner) and the waitstaff were spectacular. Specials were mentioned immediately. I had the app special, an artichoke and potato in olive oil and herbs; extraordinary! Spaghetti bolognese was a mistake. Tasted really canned. My fault for ordering such an American dish. Gelato and strawberries paired with the best cappuccino that I've ever had comprised dessert. Wonderful dining experience, and much thanks to the staff. So often, solo diners receive second rate service. Not so in this delightful restaurant. Will absolutely be back. Great value. Don't think about it, just go!

9.5/10Friendly busy restaurant serving great, good value food. My husband had sea bass which was filleted at the table and which he said was delicious and I had steak which was very tasty. Their chocolate cake for dessert was lovely. We are going back again in 2 days time.

9.5/10The food was amazing! So good, in fact, we went for lunch and for dinner. .. we would say that this was the best pasta we had in Italy. Additionally, for the money, it was a great deal. Can't wait to go back someday!!

9.5/10Excellent choice for lunch around the Borghese grounds. Wonderful service and great food. Sat outside in a covered tent to enjoy the perfect weather. They even brought us a complimentary, freshly made tiramisu after enjoying a variety of other desserts because they had just ran out of the tiramisu before we tried ordering it.
