10/10What a gem! Unbelievably great food at a great price. It is a real neighbourhood restaurant filled with locals. The owners and everyone in the place made us feel like family. It was a highlight of our stay in Rome. If you can, you should eat here at least once when in Rome.

8.5/10The restaurant staff were friendly but speak zero English so it was difficult to communicate. Some of our large party loved the dishes, some did not. I had the Carbonara, which was good. I was told the ragù was overly salty.

10/10This restaurant is a must visit! I have been in Italy for about a month and have dined here weekly. The staff is so genuine and helpful. The food is the best food that I have had in Italy and very reasonably priced. My favorite dishes here are Gnocchi al ragu and the bucatini amatriciana. The pastas are so fresh and flavorful. The best way to end is with their home made tiramisu.

10/10Great food, great staff, and great atmosphere. And…great prices to boot. No English menu (possibly no menu at all?), no English spoken, but staff is fun and make sure everyone and everything is understood. Make a reservation…the place fills up. Mostly locals, which is a good sign. When in Rome, you gotta eat here!

2.5/10We had to look for the waiter to order cus they never came to us. The menu is a bit unfortunate cus it’s very few non meat options. I never have this problem especially in Rome. They registered us as a no-show on the fork so no wonder they didn’t want to serve us. (I contacted the fork to let them know so that’s how I can write this review.) I will not come back to this restaurant.

9.5/10Wonderful little restaurant in a quiet corner of town. They don't speak much English but don't worry about it! If they have the knocchi, get it! If I were to stay in this area again I would go back.

10/10Recommend by the apartment manager/host. You must make a reservation as they were turning people away. A truly authentic experience and I would highly recommend. It’s off the beaten track in a quiet neighborhood location but worth the effort if you are looking for a restaurant frequented by locals.

10/10This warm & friendly restaurant was like stepping into Grandma’s kitchen. Everything we ate was scrumptious. We started with a colorful salad & artisan bread. Main courses were gnocchi & carbonara. We finished with a delicious pastry filled with cream & sprinkled with cocoa. We definitely recommend!

9/10Restaurant was completely refreshed recently after having hosted a famous TV show. Excellent appetizer with bruschetta cicoria&lardo, amazing cacio&pepe (2 dishes!) and tiramisù. Perhaps the owners should've worn the protection mask above their nose...

10/10Wonderful meal! I asked our waitress for her favorite dishes and made sure we tried some. The mixed hors d'oeuvres and tomato bruscetta started or meal, and some favourites at the table were the cacio pepe and the ox-tail.
