+3This restaurant was recommended by a co worker back in Atlanta Ga USA. I made reservations and brought my family. From the second we arrived everything was perfection. The food was so delicious, everything far exceeded our expectations. The artichokes were to die for and the carbonara was out of this world. You will not be disappointed!!!!

From our arrival we were greeted by name and with a big friendly smile by 2 of the support team. What a lovely surprise. Then we were shown a wonderful table and fussed over as best of guests. Nothing was too much. The service was helpful, inquisitive and supportive. Then surprisingly the food and wine order was clearly confirmed. Professional can be just be done so naturally. Great touch. The food and wine was superb. The meatballs were a taster with a delightful sauce. Last and not least 2 of the neighbouring tables shared their thoughts on their food and chatted freely with us to the restaurant. We had such a delightful evening and we were touched the owner was obliging to take a photo with us. This place was what food in Rome and Italy is all about: open, celebratory and just enjoyable. A wonderful evening for all of us!

The food was excellent, the waiter was very nice and when my husband asked a recommendation on what to order, my husband was very happy with the suggestion which was braised lamb. Everything from aperitivo to dolce was amazing. Great service!!!

Really beautiful food. The food sharing pater to start was perfect. Followed by pasta with garlic, cherry tomatoes and basil, simple and really lovely. The other dish was eggplant, zucchini and zucchini flowers. Plus a Parmesan sauce on the side as decoration. Very welcoming and helpful

Amazing food, staff and vibe. The owner of the restaurant was overseeing the service and was checking on all of the customers. Not too intrusive but respectful. Got this as a recommendation from a local driver. Worth the drive away from the tourist area. They spoke good English or Italian. Then offered to call us a taxi upon completion of our meal so we weren’t stuck trying to walk around or flag down a taxi. Super impressed!

I made a reservation on Christmas Eve, I had the apperitivo, primo piatto e secondo. Everything was wonderful. I sat outside and they could've lighten the fire for me, but besides that, everything was amazing. Had a wonderful experience.

The food is bland and cold at some parts. It would have been better if they served simple italian food on the menu for new years eve, and not as if it is from a fancy restaurant. Pretentious - the term to describe the whole menu, at best.

6.0
We visited the restaurant last night, and the food was decent. We would highly recommend the pasta with tomato and basil, which tasted really good, as well as their tiramisu. However, the semifreddo dessert was rock-hard and lacked flavor. The service was friendly, but we had to wait more than 40 minutes for our food, and some of our drinks were initially forgotten.

DELICIOUS!!! off the beaten path. Close to Roma Termini and Colosseum part of town! The most delicious pasta dishes! The Carbonara….(chef’s kiss) and their Pomodorella (spicy pomodoro) out of this world…let’s not forget the tiramisu that was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted. This is a little hidden gem and well worth a visit! We went twice during our visit to Rome. Super friendly staff as well! Mauricio was so nice and funny, really made our night!

Great staff, very knowledgeable about their menu. Very friendly, the owner came over and chatted with us. Best restaurant I've been to in Rome. Great experience.

Lovely restaurant with even lovelier food and people. You must try anything that has tomato/tomato sauce at this place, it is scrumptious. The carbonara is the best at the Esquilino area and it shows. Try the pannacotta! Bacci from Portugal

the waitress was not welcoming and kept insisting we take a look at the entrees and the desserts after we told her we only meant to stop by for some carbonara the last of our trip to rome. she kept begging for us to take a look at the entrees, get wine and get dessert... we felt very uncomfortable. the carbonara was good but nothing special.
