    The service was impeccable and very gracious. We greatly enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the service. It is small and cozy enough to chat with neighboring tables, and at the same time lively and vibrant. Definitely a hidden gem near Vatican City.

    Amazing place!! It is close to Vatican City and short walk from St Peter’s Basilica. We will surely return! They also honored our Fork Reservation. The service, food, and wine was delicious! Highly recommend. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Our soups and pasta were delicious, and the wait staff as attentive as they could be given the rush of people near the Vatican for Jubilee and the pope’s passing.

    Fantastic restaurant where you can experience true Italian hospitality and quality food. We were treated very respectfully and they even added little "gifts" for us, on the house!! Glass of proseco, little desert, bruschettas. They didn't even need to do that to make us feel welcome. They recommended great wine and the food was delicious; portions were large and remarkably advantageous price-wise. It really made our night so we just had to come back the next day. Oh it is also located close to the must-see attractions of Rome - Vatican and Sant'Angelo Castle. We're definitely coming back as soon as possible and recommending it to all the friends visiting Rome as well.

    I love this little place and try to visit when we I find myself in Roma. I’ve never heard anyone else speaking English and the restaurant is usually filled up with locals, so a win. Love the gnocchi con arugula, the wine, etc.

    This is an outdoor cafe with a very busy sidewalk right through the middle of it. Service was all over the place: we waited over an hour for someone to take our order and then the staff tried twice to bring us other people’s orders. The zucchini flower had a strong fishy taste, but the arancini were good. We enjoyed our wine and Pinsa but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
