    The food was delicious—every dish great. But the turbot was the star. Absolutely delicious.

    I went by myself, which can be tricky, but I need not have worried. Kind but not over-fussing staff, menu more varied than in many Rome trattorias with an especially appealing list of dishes of the day, and delicious food. A really enjoyable experience.

    We waited an hour to receive our entrees. Need I say more? Management apologized, but made no effort to make things right. Food was ok, but Rome is full of fine restaurants and we won’t be back to this place.

    Grazie siamo stati lieti di averi nostri ospiti! Ci spiace non essere stati veloci come avreste voluto….ma per cucinare ci vuole tempo e per farlo bene ce ne vuole di più

    I enjoyed the Carbonara although it was a little al dente for me. My husband had a pasta dish with seafood that he really enjoyed as well. The service was very nice and attentive. The restaurant was a bit warm and bright, but we also dined early. We enjoyed our meal and it was close to our hotel so that was an added bonus.

    Nice meal in a lovely setting. Our wine wasn't cold when it arrived, so we had to wait while it cooled down on the ice (on our wish, not the waiters' suggestion).

    excellent, genuine Roman cuisine and first-class service.

    Mediocre food, at best. Caprese salad came with robbery and aged mozzarella, saggy tomatoes, without any taste. Sliced beef with potatoes was hardly eatable. Beef was so tough that you could not be sliced. They basically ripped it apart in small chunks. Fried potatoes were way too salty, so I couldn’t finish them. Other than that , the rest is nothing special. Avoid!

    I were expecting a little bit more from the carbonara to be honest. I heard that they made it to perfection, but it seemed like bacon and not guanciale. The creaminess wasn’t there, and it I got way better for less money other places in Rome. The service was formidable, but I think the ambience were a bit cold, and not as cosy as I expected. Some of the other dishes were very good, the ravioli for instance wow. I would recommend, and I would also come back.

    The server did not specify cost of entree. We received no bread or olive oil until we asked - meanwhile other tables seated after us had already received their bread and appetizers. The server made us feel as if we should only order what he recommended. They checked on plenty of other tables, but always skipped ours. We were not offered wine or water.

    Good food. Fine service at the beginning, but after our meal, the attention from the staff decreased.

    Food was very average. Waiter gave us dirty plates. Bad service, didn’t clear our plates and just plopped food down on the table, we cleared our own plates basically. There were fruit flies everywhere and we couldn’t even enjoy our meal with all this going on. Ran out of there as soon as we were done eating. Will never come back.

    Perfect space to have a nice time with family and friends. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. It is a restaurant that I recommend if you visit Rome.

    Excellent service and great food. Location was quiet with space for good conversation. Recommend highly. Need another 19 characters so I added this sentence

    Excelent main dish (lamb in crust olive) and excelent red wine suggested by the owner (region of Alba) Tiramisu should be less creamy/cheesy but with more coffee.

    Very nice location, try to get a table outside. The food is great, we tried the classic pasta dishes Cacio e Pepe and spaghetti Vongole. Will most likely come back when we are in Rome next time.

    i was disappointed we couldn't get an outside seat so book early but the inside is air conditioned and very nice. From that point onwards the meal was superb. Great service, excellent food (we had fresh fish cooked to order) and good value compared to other options around . Highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to eating there again. Overall favorite restaurant on trip to Rome
