    Fabulous care and attention by the staff we had a very pleasant and enjoyable first night so much so we went again and they treated this extra special the second night. Good food good wine and a European Roman experience what is not to love!? A few broken dishes and friends made! Opa Ciao Ciao Ciao

    +tasty food at a fair price - a bit to many tables in a to small space for our taste. We sat next to the piano, we are not a fan of life piano during dinner and sitting right next to it was to loud for us But appart from that, deffinitely one of the better restauranys inthat neighbourhood

    Absolutely worth the visit. Great home cooked italian food. Simple, yet complex taste. Our server was friendly and she made great suggestions regarding food and wine, absolutely worth a visit. Great value.

    Cozy atmosphere with live music in a side street not overcrowded with tourist, Service very attentive and easy to deal with. Food was great, nicely presented and tasted homemade. Reasonable priced as well. Overall a great experience and highly recommendable

    Italian food for unaware tourists. Wine is served by someone not having any knowledge of any wine or regions of Italy. Food is served by someone having no knowledge of the ingredients or Italian cuisine. The pianist saved the atmosphere and the evening.

    Such a cute, clean and quaint little restaurant. Easy to walk to as well. The food and service were delicious, beer was cold. The piano music was a pleasant bonus.

    The pasta dishes and pizzas were not very good, the service was slow, the outside dining area was right up close to a narrow busy road, and the icing on the cake, they added a 10 Euro service charge to the bill, then claimed to have no change when we paid in cash, to try to add on nearly another 10. There are so many better restaurants in Rome - this is one to avoid!

    We booked a table and after waiting over ten minutes we were ushered through to a tent style area at the rear of the restaurant. We refused to sit here and waited another while as they set a table out front. The food was nice but not piping hot. There was an elderly gentleman playing the piano which benefited the ambiance.

    We had a reservation and when we went in they told us to wait outside. Then let another group walked right in. Eventually they signalled for us to come in and stuck us in a back room next to the garbage. We decided to leave instead of being treated this way. Will not be back.

    Be aware that they include the service fee in the bill. Even if there's not much service involved like it was in my case (brought a pizza, that's it). Thanks to the pianist the dinner was nicer than could have been.

    Spider in glass of wine (waiter didnt even apologize), ordered water not served at all, bread served in paper bag (sic!), no cutlery set for meals. Food less than average, calzone was filled with water and questionable quality of meat and chees. One and only pros was the charming pianist. I would rather advise you to avoid this place.

    The pianist makes this space truly special. Service is fantastic and you can enjoy beautiful live classical music (the man also takes requests for some pieces he has in his music notes!) while escaping the bustling city and getting some traditional Roman dishes.

    Nice food but the service was terrible. A lot of customers crowded in a small restaurant. Very noisy and the staff can’t handle the orchestra and they are not very nice

    7.5/10

    Overall good food at decent prices let down by slow service and circling flies. The food was tasty and good variety on menu. The servers were nice and friendly if a bit slow. Sadly we were sat close-ish to the door and we had flies circling our food for most of the meal which unfortunately was a distraction and off-putting.
