    We’ve eaten here several times and it’s always been very good. However, I would not recommend the Salmon.

    Went for Xmas Eve dinner. Veal and oxtail were fantastic. My dad enjoyed the fish. Artichoke croquettes were great, Roman artichoke pretty good. The mashed potatoes were soup??? That was weird. Trifle and chocolate cake was good (have cherry which it didn't say on the menu). Service was friendly though a little slow to come out, worth it with how good the food was.

    Good food and wine. However the menu on TheFork did not match the one we were presented with. We were disappointed because on TheFork the menu showed were some good choices for the kids which weren’t available at the restaurant.

    We were four people and we each had 4 courses. Every plate was excellent. The chefs choice selection of mixed taster entree’s and dual pasta course were also excellent. They recommended a Red wine that was a delight. Very enjoyable experience and very attentive front of house staff. Highly recommend.

    This restaurant was really highly rated on trip advisor so I was super excited to give it a try, and I’m glad I did! Staff treated every customer like they were the only customer in the room, food was incredible and the staff were courteous and patient when it came to the wine (I was really unsure what to pic, but what they picked out of me was absolutely beautiful). All in all, I will 100% come here again when i’m in Rome next!

    This neighborhood restaurant lived up to all of the excellent reviews. It was walking distance from our hotel, which was perfect. The food was unique and delicious! The service was impeccable. The wine pairing recommended by the server was perfect and was not reasonably priced! Definitely check out this restaurant if you can!!!

    A very cosy place, excellent service and equally good typical Roman cuisine. A must when in Rome.

    Chose this restaurant based on the high rating on both Google reviews and trip advisor. Very disappointed. They knew in advance this was a birthday dinner and we expected it to be special. It was but not in a good way. We arrived 10 minutes early of our reservation and were told no insides tables. It was very cold so we insisted an inside table. So they gave us one in the back. ???? The pasta appetizer was fantastic. But my mother asked for pino griso and I white wine. Both pours were from the same bottle with the server telling her they only had one type of white wine. The service was horrible. The bathroom had no paper. After 2 1/2 hours no one asked how dinner was. Do we need anything else? Or would you like dessert. We followed a large party that was also fed up to the front to pay since neither of us received a bill. And they could care less when we told them we were unhappy. Many great restaurants in Rome. This is certainly not one of them.

    Booked due to the hype. Very enjoyable evening, but there would be a couple of dishes that we would give a miss. Great service, very friendly. We walked from our accommodation near the Trevi Fountain, so quite a distance so glad it wasn't raining!
