5.5/10Service was a shambles from start to finish, they made faulty towers look world class. We arrived and someone else had taken our reservation so after a mini UN summit they stuck us on a table outside. We eventually ordered are food and drinks with starters arriving in dribs and drabs meaning 3 of us had finished before the individual who ordered the cold starter had even arrived. We ordered 2 bottles of wine (red/white) which again arrived after we had finished our starters. Even worse they only brought us 4 glasses even though we asked for 8. Mains came promptly to be fair but food was look warm and randomly they hadn’t cleared our starter dishes? We had ordered some sides and again had to ask twice before they were brought to the table. The food was tasty and of a good quality just so let down by the slap dash service. They then completed the hat trick by offering the dessert menu then never came back to take our orders. We just gave up, paid our bill and moved on with our night.

10/10The food was very good, but what made our visit memorable was our server and her colleague who provided friendly, top notch service to a full house of guests.

10/10Rustic ambiance and delicious menu options. Kind service and attention to detail. We would eat here often if we lived in Rome!

2/10Server was nice but not knowledgeable or efficient. That was the best part of this tourist trap.

10/10It was in the Vatican so location was perfect after we heard mass at St Peter’s Basilica. The food and service were excellent and the ambiance was just right. I will definitely recommend to my friends who plan to go to Rome for the Jubilee Year.

10/10This is a lovely restaurant in the cobbled streets close to the walls of the Vatican City and St Peter's Square. It has a menu that is very different to the usual tourist restaurants in the area with lovely friendly staff and a quiet traditional feel. The food was wonderful - the very Roman starters of fried artichoke and cod croquettes then a main course of lamb that melted in the mouth. Wine served by the glass was delicious and very reasonably priced too. One not to miss!

8/10Service was fast, friendly and fun. Food, while fresh and tasty, was so salty that it was impossible to eat.

9.5/10Really good restaurant. Carciofi were good and tagliere was excellent. Tripe and pasta (carciofi & guanciale, very crunchy) also excellent. Diverse wine list, good selection. Atmosphere lively and informal. Great place!

8/10We chose this place by reviews in Google. There were only tourists there. Zucchini flowers were good, octopus starter was great, pasta was great, salad did not have dressing (disappointing), cod main course was good, beef tartare was cut in big pieces and the meat wasn’t tender. Service was fine. Overall is good but I would choose something more Italian and less touristy next time.

Great ambiance and good food quality overall. The cod, olive and dried cherry tomatoes pasta was excellent! The service was great as they accommodated my daughter's request to change paccheri pasta to spaghetti.

10/10Really nice little restaurant right in the heart of Rome. I'm from Rome, and it's really refreshing to find a high quality restaurant with reasonable prices. The staff is extremely welcoming but not invading. Food was great, typical Roman dishes with a bit of a twist. In few words, really recommended!

10/10The waiter was great, explained a couple of things we were in doubt in the menu and suggested very delicious starter (with ricotta and truffle). Food and wine were also great, I would come back and recommend.
