Great, fantastic, amazing food. Best italian dishes i ever had. Very nice and friendly environment , Multilingual service full of smiles . Kevin and Ernesto great service, Alice great hostess and amazing pastry chef . Totally recommended.

I only write reviews on places that people need to go to or completely avoid. This place, as you can tell by the stars, is a must go. The staff is multilingual and very kind. I felt comfortable using my limited Italian and they understood me when I couldn't. The food is excellent and well prepared. Everything is fresh and made to order. I can keep going on, but this is a review, not a novel. Come stay awhile in their welcoming Italian restaurant, and enjoy anything and everything on the menu. Don't forget the dessert wine. Saluti!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff were so helpful and took the time to explain the dishes to us. We had the suckling pig which was the nicest pork I've had. Desserts were homemade and well worth a try. Prices were very reasonable. You will need to book in advance if you want a guaranteed seat/team.

Authentic, excellent, delicious! It was the only place in Rome that we needed a reservation as we found out trying to get in for dinner the night before. Luckily, they squeezed us in for lunch the next day when we showed up. It's worth it. Seasonal food cooked with love.

A wonderful traditional restaurant with amazing food! Everything we tried from the menu was fantastic. The staff is very kind and always ready to help with recommendations. Whenever I’m in Rome, I’d gladly come back for lunch or dinner. Truly some of the best food in Rome!!
