10/10Very nice service and delicious food in this wine bar restaurant. Very close (only 5min walk) to the exit of the Piazza San Pietro of the Vatican. They offered us a small tapas with bread, olive oil and tomato and a welcome drink. The pizza was delicious and the pasta was very tastefull with big portions. After our dinner they offered us a small sorbe limoncello and the staff was very polite and helpful all the time we stayed there. Everybody must come to this wine bar in Rome, with so good prices.

Amazing time here! This was our first dinner spot during our trip and set such a high standard that we got underwhelmed with places afterwards. Christian was an amazing server, highly recommend, he will kill you..with his service. We were very particular with the wine and he went above and beyond to try and see which wine would suit our tastes. The pasta was spectacular. Would recommend, and would definitely come back to Rome just for this place alone.

I was dining alone but felt well taken care of. Servers spoke English and understood my order. I enjoyed my meal. I didn’t realize that I got a 30% discount by using Fork app. I paid a little extra and owner said, “Signora, I love you!” Quite charming and memorable.

Jordan was an excellent waiter. He even got a sauce stain out of my shirt. The food might be the best we have had in Rome so far. The prices are very reasonable. Book a reservation because it can fill up fast.

10/10The 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.

8/10Our 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.

10/10Fantastic 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.
