10/10+2we arrived for our booking at 3pm, we only reserved an hour before, we were going to use the fifty percent discount but then the form suggested we used a 50 euro discount. but even without I would have happily paid full price for what we received. I'm a Brit who lives in Spain and my partner is Italian argentian so we have a varied food taste. this place did not disappoint. excellent wine. the carbonara was incredible, the trippa was cooked to perfection and I've never had such a creamy tiramisu. service was excellent, the restaurant was packed full and I understand why, also important to note it was full of Italians. would return again in a heartbeat.

2/10If you are American, or use TheFork, you are NOT WELCOME here. There's a REASON they have such a low 8.5 rating with 2,300 reviews and have to offer 50% off on a Sat. night.. mediocre, cold, low-quality food + terrible service. We were treated as naive Americans from the moment we arrived. (I am Italian American and spend 12+ weeks/yr in Italy.. so I can spot these bigots from a mile away) "Reservation" (eye roll ). 1 min. later wants our entire order. 2 mins later said "I am holding this table for you, you must order". Per my watch and we placed our entire 100+ euro order by 8:09, only 8 mins after we were seated. Upon receiving the check I am told "cash only" (both TheFork and Google say cards accepted). When I explained "I don't have the cash" I was told "go find a bank". Now I'd had enough and told him "stop speaking to me that way" to which he rudely replied, "go find an American restaurant next time", AFFIRMING the BIGOTRY and RUDENESS we felt through the entire meal.

6/10It was easy to find and the wine was very good. Prices were higher, and we were treated like the owner wanted us to leave. When the dishes came they told us different names, and later changed to what we have ordered. The quality was very avarage

7/10The food was good, we enjoyed the Santa Bonosa platter for starters and the pasta’s were tasty. The music was a bit loud for the space. The evening started off really well and continued until the bill arrived. The server / owner / manager acknowledged that we didn’t order the stated item on the bill (that was incorrectly charged), however was immediately dismissive, agitated and clearly upset that we noticed. From greeting and being very jovial with us the entire evening, after this he didn’t even say goodbye to us when we left the restaurant. A few tables around us complained about their bills as well, all finding discrepancies (everyone who complained was foreign which adds to the stigma that tourists are taken advantage of in Rome). If you go to this restaurant, suggest checking your bill very carefully at the end of the dining experience and expect to be dismissed should you find any inaccuracies.

8/10They charge the bread (2 euros) and don’t say anything. You notice that when you see the bill at the end. Coktails expensive

Dear gentlemen, the bread is written on the menu which is paid for, the cocktails at the place next door cost more

6/10Food and service were ok, but in the end the server demanded payment in cash (which was not written in the menu or in any sign at the door), and in an even more odd interaction, followed us when we were outside the restaurant asking if he could cancel my The Fork visit, putting a "no show" in my status, because this way he would not have to pay the The Fork fee. Very very sketchy. I wouldn't recommend this place and I wouldn't come back.

7/10Food was tasty, but restaurant did not respect fork discount which was supposed to be 50% on all a la carte menu. Before ordering I asked waiter about discount which he confirmed. When I received invoice discount was applied only on 1 meal (wife and I had 2 meals total) than waiter told me that discount is only on 1 meal which is not true and it is not stated anywhere. I did not want to make fuss about 6 EUR but it was not fair. Also they are charging 2 EUR per person for couvert (that is written on menu). To conclude if you want fork discount ask them before ordering if you do not want to be scammed.

6/10I thought that this was a restaurant were I never been there before, but actually I have been there. Seemingly this rather small restaurant has change name (and ownership) several time. Difficult to say if it is because of the location or the quality of the food, or both.
