8.5/10Food was very good, service was great - very patient translating menu items and provided a couple of things off menu (side salad, small portion of pasta). Great music and setting. Would recommend!

10/10What a great little osteria in a good location. This isn’t a tourist trap like a lot of places by the monuments. Great food, nice selection of drinks but I just had the ipa which was nice. We skipped the starters but both had a first course of pasta, for our main course My daughter had the burger which she couldn’t finish, it was pretty big. I had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection.

9/10The food was very good--ravioli and amatriciana--with wonderful server inside the restaurant. We dined early at 7 PM so very quiet at first and then started to fill up which made for a lovely ambience. Great bottle of Vermentino rounded out our meal.

9/10This restaurant is a very cute spot for drinks and appetizers, and is a refreshing departure from the tourist traps littering this part of the city. The ambience in the piazza is lovely, and the decor inside is swanky. I appreciated that the menu was not strictly traditional Italian food (pizza, pasta, etc), and the entrees like lamb and duck were good (albeit a bit overdone and perhaps under seasoned), Overall a very good experience.

10/10Wonderful food, great service. We were an hour late due to travel delays but that was no problem, a table was soon found for us. The food and ambience were outstanding. Loved this place.

5.5/10Tip pressure on tourist! When the credit card machine was brought over at the end, the server asked “how much tip do you want to include?”. A service fee had already been included on the bill and we were shocked at the request and pressure for more tip money. We were disappointed that they would assume we were uneducated tourist and could be taken advantage of. Otherwise the food was good.

10/10Rudy was amazing and provided great service! I am GF and they prepared an amazing meal for me, pasta with a wonderful pesto sauce. This restaurant is worth a visit!

6.5/10Great location. The starter was excellent. One of the party was Gluten free so the gluten free pasta for main course wasn't great . We were also unlucky with a Multepulciano wine that we bought too. as it was a bit disappointing. Service was absolutely fine . Something special about eating next to a building that was constructed 2000 years ago !

6/10The antipasti was nice but not outstanding but it deteriorated from there. The carbonara was sub-par and we didn’t finish (2 of us) sharing a single primi. The secondi of fresh market fish of the day as a shared secondi was also disappointing. Very nice local wine and really good waiter service helped mitigate, but the service was fairly slow and we ended up disappointed overall. It has a good reputation and a nice menu, but didn’t live up to it. A shame, as I’d had a good experience there previously, where a large group (15+) enjoyed ourselves sharing everything.

8.5/10Originally I thought about a tourist restaurant, instead it is a place where you easily find local clients. A couple of historical dishes are always available, but you find also some nice surprises on the menu (modern recipes). Great choice for wine. Recommended for max 4people.

10/10The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. We were so impressed from our first bite...the calamari special appetizer was unreal, the cacao et pepe was delicious and even when there was a miscommunication about the main dish, they were so professional in handling the situation and rectified it immediately, it was impressive. We would return for sure, no question. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us and for the wine recommendations as well.

9/10The setting is unbeatable and worth going there alone. Given that, it’s a bit pricey for food that is good but not great. Nice attentive service

10/10Three of us friends had a great dinner here. Wonderful server. Interesting and delicious food both traditional Italian trattoria styple (very good pasta dish) and more upscale (one of us had grilled fish and the other duck breast with sour cherries). Nice selection of desserts. Watched the light show on Hadrian's Temple across the piazza while we sipped Amaro at the end of the evening. Highly recommend!

7.5/10We booked this place because of the wonderful outdoor atmosphere and because it’s right in front of the Hadrian’s Temple ruins, which are beautiful at night. Sadly, it rained so we had to sit inside. The ambience was still nice inside, but not of course as exciting as outside. The food was just average. We had a great bottle of wine, a real good bread basket spread, mediocre Spaghetti with Crab (a pasta special) and a just-ok Cacio e Pepe. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you don’t get the outdoor atmosphere - that would have made for a better experience. But you can’t control the weather :)

5.5/10Went here based on reviews but disappointing. The pasta with fish was spaghetti with not as fresh tasting as it could be tomato sauce with a ton of crab shell but no discernible crab - and although the tomato sauce had a nice bit of garlic and slight chilli, it was a pain to eat due to picking out bits of shell - not the slightest fishy flavour. Fish of the day good, tiramisu appeared to be made with whipped or canned cream. Far better places for the money are around

5/10The restaurant was disappointing. The food is okay but not outstanding, the artichokes were not well prepared, and you could still feel the thorns when eating. Despite the lovely setting in front of the columns of the Temple of Hadrian, the restaurant also serves drinking only clients at the tables. The result is that you have totally drunk people sitting close to you, yelling and shouting the whole time. Overall, a place to avoid. There are way better restaurants in Rome.

10/10The restaurant was a great find. Stunning views of the Temple of Hadrian, best Campari I’ve had in Italy and a fresh seasonal specials menu which elevates it above the every day. The owner takes a real interest in his menu and wines.
