Food was good, service started out good but then as got busier we had to wait ages on our bill. Very nice restaurant though and staff.

I loved the food. My appetizer (prawn carpaccio), sea bream main and pistachio semifreddo all had interesting flavour with a light touch. They all tasted very fresh, and the flavouring was delicate so that I could still clearly taste the mild prawn/fish. In addition to a great taste, the semifredo had both the crunch of a but topping and smoothness. I was a woman eating alone and the service was excellent. My table was not hidden in a corner. There are high vaulted ceilings with notably nice lighting. An artistic touch in the decor. I don’t know if this happens every night, but classic soft rock was playing. This was a plus for me but may not be for everyone.

Everything about this place was awesome! We had our family of 10 eat there. Delicious food, great service and loved eating in the private back patio out side!

We came here for a New Year's eve dinner and it was chaos. We waited for 45 minutes, and when no one had come my husband tracked down someone to take our drink's order. We then waited for another long period, and had to flag someone down for menus, and then again to have our order taken. The staff was polite and friendly, but totally flustered. Our main courses arrived while we still had our starter plates sitting in front of us. I imagine this was an unusual evening, maybe they were understaffed. The food was very good although my starter arrived cold, again, probably due to understaffing. I wouldn't have minded all this and we just watched the chaos with bemusement, however, to pay 167 euros for this (we only had 1 beer and 2 glasses of wine, no dessert) made us feeling unimpressed.

The food was delicious. The sea food carpaccio was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had and all the dishes had plenty of flavor. Friendly and quick service.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. Can’t rate this place highly enough. The octopus ragu was unreal.

Wonderful restaurant with a nice relaxed vibe but they didn't slouch on the food. Incredibly delicious, some of the best we had in our whole Italy trip. The anchovies, octopus, prawns and oysters were all excellent. The chef's welcome was also one of the highlights. Thank you!

This was a true find. Best meal of our stay in Rome. Food was amazing. Service was the same. Highly recommend. Ask for a table in the garden.
