    The food, the staff—-everything was wonderful! The prices were very reasonable, and the quality and portions were very generous. The antipasto was incredible, tortellini in brodo on cool winter night, and vitello and filetto di manzo with green pepper sauce—perfection. Will return to this charming place!

    I love the old style ambiance of the restaurant. The food was traditional Roman and excellently prepared. We had a selection of fish and meat and enjoyed it all. The staff was accommodating and were looking to help in any way.

    We were at the restaurant 9 years ago on a previous visit to Rome. It is very much the same, a lovely neighbourhood restaurant, great service, fantastic local food and so reasonably priced.

    Although you allowed me to book a table for the 1st of January with many available times, when we arrived it was shut, not a great system as at 3pm not easy to find another restaurant

    Our last night in Rome we wanted some place close to our hotel that we hadn't tried before. We found this restaurant on Google maps. We ordered the shrimp risotto and spaghetti with clams. The food was good and served promptly. Drinks were poured plentifully. Service was good without being obtrusive.

    Fillet steak served here is not the same as in UK more like a ribeye steak. Tasty standard food. House red is very palatable and good value

    Excellent service from very customer focused staff. We were welcomed and given the choice of where to sit. The food was delicious and prepared quickly. We were also looked after with a couple of limoncella to round off a great evening Thoroughly recommend it and we'll probably be back in there tonight!
