Staff were super friendly but not very attentive. It took 45 minutes to receive our starters, and I had to ask/prompt for our drinks when we received our mains. Mains were beautiful - delicious and rich but not overpowering. Starters were underwhelming and watery. Staff were lovely, apologetic for any delays and super helpful when we asked for something.

Unfortunately this is the definition of a tourist trap. I am sure this was a great Italian restaurant before it was completely overhauled with the new AI-theme. I am not sure if there are new owners or if it’s still the same, but the whole thing felt fake, and the food was very so-so. Pasta carbonara was very wet and bitter, and the saltimbocca had a strange smell as if the meat had gone bad. The cicoria smelled and tasted like harsh fish oil. Would not recommend people to go here for the food. The staff was very welcoming and nice.

The moment we walked in, we felt nothing but welcomed. Our server was amazing, good humor, joked with us, and just a good person who seemed to enjoy life. The food was delicious! Sadly, though, we couldn't bring Nonno Melo back home to the US with us and now we are positively ruined for calamari. There's was the most incredible we've ever had. Tasty, not rubbery at all, and delicious with no sauce needed. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious dinner with great service in Rome.

The best dinner I had in Rome. The staff were incredibly welcoming, prosecco was outstanding, and the seafood pasta was simply beyond praise. My friend had lasagna and was absolutely delighted. The atmosphere was elegant and music perfectly matched the vibe. Tiramis was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted... Just wow! I will definitely come back next time I’m in town. Grazie!

It is very tacky inside the food was OK. Portions were very small. The surface was OK until the waiter specifically asked for a tip, which was not just uncomfortable, but also very tacky which tracked

Starters were good and the single choice of wine was fine. Mains and sides were disappointing. Chicken significantly overcooked. Sides were verging on the inedible. Chicory side in particular was a challenge. Room for improvement!

TO AVOID! No alcohol in the Spritz, lasagna without béchamel, awful lamb chop, and 3 ravioli for €14. Tourist trap, don’t go.
