I chose this restaurant for Christmas Eve because of the menu, the ratings, and because it was in a non-touristy part of Rome. I received a confirmation from The Fork the day before, reminding me that I was NOT getting a set menu. I was extremely disappointed when I arrived at the restaurant and found that was not true. All they were offering that evening was a set menu. The choices were limited and not what I was looking for. My food was good, but not great. And it was very difficult for us to get home from there.

We came in on Christmas and the food was decently good. Unlike other places, this food gave us massive heartburn, which I'm guessing is due to the copious amounts of oil and butter. They do not have completely accurate food descriptions listed, so we ordered a pasta not realizing it was in tomato sauce until it came (tomatoes weren't listed in the dish on the menu). Some of the food was charged at a higher price than what was on the menu. We were mostly disappointed by the service. While the staff was very attentive to Italian-speakers, they barely spoke with us. We understand language barriers, but there wasn't really even a hello or Merry Christmas. We felt unwanted, despite overpaying for one of the most expensive meals we had in Rome. The restaurant is not in the nicest area and is about a 35 min walk from the Vatican. Overall, wasn't worth it in our opinion.

Buonasera Sig. Sandy Nahmias, Grazie per la sua visita presso il nostro ristorante, mi permetto solo di non essere d'accordo quanto da lei scritto, ruiguardo al food da lei contestato noi abbiamo la nostra espressione, ma forse non siamo per tutti. Ci dispiace che l Lei abbia dichiarato il falso riguardo il pane e sevizio che noi conteggiamo a euro 3 per persona. a fine pasto dal suo tavolo il cestino del pane sembra pero sia stato gradito. Grazie buona serata

Food was excellent, service polite, fast and friendly, restaurant stylish. Lots of pescatarian options, far fewer vegetarian main courses, but they were happy to adapt several of the items on the menu to make them veggie.

This is a traditional, family run restaurant. We wanted to end our week with a really good meal and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Everything was delicious and our waitress was so helpful and attentive. She was knowledgeable about the food and could give recommendations. We were served quickly, but never rushed. The seafood gnocchi was particularly delicious!

This is the second time that we have eaten here and it did not disappoint. Every mouthful was wonderful! My children devoured the carbonara and my husband declared that the pear with zabaglione was the best dessert that he has ever eaten. Grazie mille per una cena meravigliosa!

This is a great restaurant however we were looking forward to meeting the owner and getting his recommendations but he went to every table but ours? We thought because we booked on Fork but did not get the discount either.

After spending more than four days in Rome with my family, eating pizza and pasta, we began to look for something more traditional Italian cousin. As we were staying in the Neighborhood, we found Secondo Tradizione. Eating here was a very pleasant experience. The food, the selection of wines, and the service were great. I would constantly recommend anyone in the area to stop by for dinner here.

Walked in on Sunday evening after a long day at the Vatican City and other sites. It was just a few minutes from our hotel. We had an exceptional meal at a very accommodating and friendly atmosphere. Great prices and authentic menu. Five stars, will return. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere, were all top notch. Thank you for helping us end an unforgettable and wonderful vacation on such a high note!
