9/10Really nice athmosphere and good service. Simple and nice food with good price. Pasta was a bit too less cooked, but generally very good food. Small payment issues with Fork voucher, but in the end everything was handled well.

6.5/10Our waiter had a delightful personality. But the food was a bit inconsistent. My wife's and my pasta were good, but my sesame tuna was not so great and another diner said the same dish was better the previous evening.

2/10No greeting. We told them we made a reservation through The Fork and they did not even ask our opinion and forced us out saying only "OUTSIDE" "OUTSIDE" Gave us a horrible table in the corner where it wasnt set up when inside the restaurant was half empty. There was a mini food? bar with flies flying around. Also felt racism vibe - strongly. I would never recommend it to anyone

10/10We had a wonderful meal ..all 4 of us ordered different things and everyone enjoyed their dinner immensely. The waiter was fun and efficient . He was proud to have spent several years in Essex our home county and we laughed about some of the memories. I had the swordfish which was great. Prices were very good. If you are in the Flavia area I would recommend.

10/10We found this restaurant from a recommendation from our driver into town and it was absolutely fantastic. Great food and phenomenal service. Clear we were tourists but they treated us like family. Would highly recommend trying.

10/10Discovered this around the corner from our hotel. Wonderful food, friendly staff, it felt like we were dining in someone's home. Liesurely, unhurried pace. Excellent bread, wine, primo & secondi piatti. Roman artichokes were awesome. A hidden gem on a small side street.

10/10This restaurant was very close to where we were staying. We were looking to eat where the locals ate. We saw on a previous day a Confirmation Party was in full swing, so we made our booking! Our welcome was warm and friendly and our waiter struck up conversation straight away. Our food was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and my desert came complete with a candle and complimentary Lemonchello & a verse of "Happy Birthday". Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

10/10Our first dinner in Rome was molto bene! Angelo, our server, was very attentive and gave us wonderful suggestions on menu items. We came for the carbonara and didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to go back.

9.5/10Been to Rome twice and have eaten there 4 times. Great, simple food and friendly staff. Better than the higher priced restaurants in the area. We all have a different dish each time and they were all great! I come from. NYC Italian restaurant family so I think I know good Italian food.

10/10This place is a perfect neighborhood authentic place with fantastic food. We went early and our waiter Angelo was awesome. Not fast service but at a perfectly relaxing rate. I had the Filet with green pepper corn sauce and it was possibly the best steak I ever had. Perfectly Italian medium rare. My wife had the Gnocchi with meat balls that were to die for. We topped it off with the soft gooey chocolate lava cake with vanilla gelato and Bam !!!!! The wine list has a tasty selection for all budgets. If you want to avoid the cookie cutter tourist restaurants and have the real thing this is it.

2/10We booked via the Fork app, and travelled from far to go to La Lampada. When we arrived, they said they don’t collaborate with the Fork (which is demonstrably false), pretended not to speak any English, and denied that we had any reservation at all. They tried to seat us outside despite plenty of seats being available inside. We left without eating - it was our first bad experience in Rome. It’s a shame!

10/10I return to this restaurant each time I am in Rome. The staff is welcoming and warm, the food is great and the prices reasonable. Something I always look forward to is their truffle pasta too. Highly recommend this little piece of a Roman family kitchen.

9/10Lovely restaurant with really excellent food at fair prices. Some of the best Carbonara I've ever had--noodles were cooked to perfection. The grilled calamari was equally amazing. Only downside was the alfresco dining--tables are directly across from 3 large garbage dumpsters...and during Rome's steamy summers, that's just no fun. But otherwise, really an excellent dinner. Few tourists as well.... Definitely visit!

5.5/10We came with recommendations and high expectations and a huge disappointment. Lack of flavor and seasoning. The service was good and the house wine was excellent.

10/10This family run restaurant is an an easy walk from the gallery. The grilled vegetable salad bar with sardines and mussels is a great way to start your meal. The family is friendly and service good, food moderately priced. the lamb is a little tough and bony, shoulder chops, the flavor is awesome. Make a reservation if you’re going on a weekend especially

6/10If you book via fork with a discount, they put some higher random prices on the bill and don't give the full discount so you basically end up paying just more or less the full price a la carte.
