Exceptional restaurant!We went two days in a row, the food is absolutely fantastic, the service is very friendly, and the atmosphere is great.The food is very fresh, and it was THE BEST carbonara in Rome!!On our first day we had limoncello to try, the second day we order again and they gave us meloncello for us to try!Can’t recommend enough!
Food was exceptional. Would rate it 6 stars if I could due to a comprehensive menu with lots of options.Most restaurants in Rome have had mostly pasta options. Not ideal if trying to work out and increase protein intake.The veal shank here was so delicious. It was very tender, but at the same time not overcooked. There were portions (tendon) that were cooked perfectly and nicely gelatinous. And there was so much bone marrow too.Man. I’ll definitely be back for more of that succulent Veal shank.The carbonara and the meatball spaghetti were also the usual high standard of deliciousness in Rome.I think the truffles carbonara was different, and my kid finished every last morsel.Service was the usual non existent Italian service. Probably worse than usual cos the restaurant wasn’t busy and a few of the wait staff were just hanging around doing nothing (vs I can understand if the restaurant is super busy and all the wait staff are barely trying to keep up).Thank goodness we got the menu asap. And then ordered asap before the crowd swamped the kitchen.We had 4 entrees (including the 16 veal shank) a bottle of water. An our total came up to 57
Our best sit-down dining experience in Rome! The lamb, seafood risotto and carbonara were excellent.Great portions on all dishes sampled.The wine list was approachable and reasonably priced.As far as service I felt like it was above and beyond what we experienced at other places in Rome. The server made adjustments and suggestions for my mom that made her meal one of her favorites in Italy!
I would rate this restaurant 6 stars if google maps allowed me. Me and my boyfriend came to this restaurant for two days in a row and ordered 3 dishes each time.We just wanted to try everything since it was all so so delicious. The lasagna was the best i’ve ever ate, and the pastas were the best I’ve had in rome.The place is filled up with locals so you just know for a fact it’s gonna be good. It’s a very small and cozy place, and true comfort food. Impeccable service and dining experience. Will come back to rome to go eat here, and forever dream about these dishes.Highly recommend: the carbonara, lasagna, pesto pasta, gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese and cannelloni.
Amazing food and service! Everything is cooked and served right away, you can feel that all the dishes are very fresh. Parmigiana is what I truly-truly recommend! The best one I’ve tried. Seafood risotto has a lot of seafood and tastes very delicious. The mixed salads also have a lot vegetables, which is a big plus for me, cause other restaurants frequently tend to not put enough of those but not here.My boyfriend ordered meet and he liked it. Keep in mind that he is very particular how he likes his meat done and the chef nailed it here.I also ordered the caramel dessert and truly recommend it, a perfect end to the dinner.The prices are very adequate and we enjoyed the food so much that we will definitely come back and a lot of times, for sure.
The best carbonara I’ve eaten in my life. And very nice waitors :) Highly recommend!
Very good lunch here today. Lovely intimate atmosphere inside and staff were efficient and friendly. We both had pasta which was excellent. The bushetta mix (5 different) - mushroom, artichoke, olive, tomato and mozzarella & tomato was great.
After a long day in the Vatican Museums we stumbled upon this nice little rustic Italian restaurant by chance. Without reservation the owner managed to find a table for us quickly. The staff was quick. We loved the starters, especially the classic Spaghetti Carbonara. As main course, Ossobuco will be remembered - tender and very soft in a wonderful sauce. However, the final tiramisu didn't need any further mention. Altogether, we enjoyed our culinary experience.
