    The menu was full of interesting and delicious flavors, but it should have been called “Menu tartar “, consisting of tartar frutti di mare, rather than being a traditional menu of starter, main course.

    Beautiful little restaurant in the heart of Rome located in the best dining district (rione Monti). Quiet and classy, I like the fact that walls are decorated with modern paintings. Then if you like fish, come here ! Try pasta with ricci (not very easy to find in Rome) it was excellent

    Food very well prepared and presented. Fresh fish and soft ambient. Something apart from common Rome style (light food, not so dressed, and soft atmosphere) but in any case you are in one of the most beautiful places in Rome: Rione Monti. A different choice but a really worth one.

    an intimate atmosphere serving particularly delicious seafood. An experience not to miss, if you appreciate a grown up environment and fine dining.

    Service was excellent! Shrimp tartare was delicious and super fresh. Pasta with octopus was the most delicious pasta I’ve had in my life along with the pistachio sea bass. High recommend!

    The restaurant is small, only 6 or 7 tables, so that surprised us, but the experience was ultimately excellent. The lobster pasta was one of the most delicious pastas I've ever eaten. I appreciate the pasta noodles were not overly all dente, done perfectly.

    What more can you say about a restaurant you go to 2 nights in a row when visiting Rome? The wine suggestions were excellent complimenting the perfect and attentive service and the food was amazing! Just go!

    Extraordinary tasting experience! We came with family and friend. We had salmon carpaccio, tuna tartare, fried chopped assorted fish, pan seared tuna, king crab pasta, shrimp pasta and lobster pasta, all tasted amazing and delicious, This is a grand new dining experience, all taste new to palate but all absolutely great. Highly recommended if u tired of steak and red wines and look for refreshing seafood like us! Don’t make me wrong, we love Italian steak but it’s time to seafood after days of red meat.

    The dishes are unique, different from other "classical" Italian restaurants but a bit expensive without the Fork discount ; portions are a bit small. Service was very good.

    Only one server spread thin. Starters were ok, octopus is not bad. We were lied to about the fried fish mixture as it didn't come with prawns but this was denied by the server afterwards. Mains were really not good, seabass is dry and we were told it comes with mixed veg but it came with 3 pieces of herb. When we told them about it, the server went to the chef and we then see the server leave the restaurant and come back with one bunch of lettuce and few minutes later it's chopped up, thrown in a plate and drizzled with oil. And as an "apology" we get a bigger plate of lettuce, very funny. The sea urchin spaghetti was very bland.

    Amazing and attentive service and divine fish which silently screamed freshness throughout the entire meal ;) Highly recommended by all means!

    Very good fish , the sesame prawns were good but too much coating, the octopus baccalà and seabass excellent

    Little restaurant with a charming atmosphere and dishes of good quality. The remarkable and interesting point is that all dishes are based on fish and sea food. Prices aligned on a medium high range.

    Terrible experience based largely on 30% discount. Small, unfinished dishes. Replaced dishes they didn't have without asking us, telling us we wouldn't be charged for them, then were. Told they had no coffee when we asked, charged 12 euros each for desserts to try and make up the bill. Awful meal.

    All the dishes we chose were excellent and the fish very fresh, so the food was a 10! If the cleanliness of the table, glasses and rest room were improved this would be one of the best small fish restaurants in the center of Rome.

    Dreadful service couldn’t save a great seafood dinner from a bad report.

    We came to this place on an earlier visit to Rome and rated it great food and meh service. They now have a booming extrovert serving the food and while he may not be everyone cup of tea he was efficient and certainly livened the place up. Soon you feel your a dining at a cousin's place. The food too has gotten even better. The only dreary thing about the night was the tiny, overly brightly lit room. But with food like this, who cares! .I wish they'd move to England.

    I was nearly put off by the reports of bad service, delighted I wasn't. Food was superb and service was great. We're not talking TGI Fridays service, Thank God, but it was helpful, efficient, and quick. If our stay was longer we'd have been regular visitors.

    Food is (very) good, and the restaurant would deserve a better rating - if it weren't for the poor service and some other "issues". Menu is (very) short, but well compensated with innovative dishes which are very well prepared, with ingredients of (very) good quality. Too bad, there are a number of issues and shortcomings which need to be addressed before the food quality can lead to a better rating. The waiter wasn't ill-intentioned, but simply not professional (enough) for that price level. Wine list (way too) short. Some plates perhaps "chic" but utterly inappropriate (too deep) for eating with knife and fork (at best acceptable for spooning a soup). Same with the slate slabs: perhaps "trendy" but cold, rendering food cold, too, very quickly. If you want to use slate slabes they need to be "hot" when serving the food. Background music was a little bit too loud, and not all titles appropriate for this type of restaurant. Summarising suggestion: pay more attention to the issues mentioned above.

    Food was excellent, the service not so much. Long wait to order wine, long wait to order food and then a long wait after the main before Seeing dessert menu ( which we gave up on after waiting 25 Minutes. Orecchiette with octopus was great, squid main course was great wine was a good value
