“ One of most authentic italian restaurants I visited in Roma. A lot of places are very tourist. This place only locals went to and menu was fairly decent price. Service was great very nice young ladies. I got bruschetta, pesto pasta, tiramisu, and white wine. ”
“ The food was great, the service was exceptional and atmosphere was good too. I have to commend the staff on their level of patience when a group of Americans, after ordering Carbonara, asked whether it was possible to rinse off the salt (because apparently the lady wasn't allowed salt)... Lady, please, guanciale is naturally salty... Do some research at least. Anyway, too conclude: everything was great and the food was brilliant. ”
“ Loved my truffle & bacon pasta. Service typical Roman, pleasant but not super attentive. ”
“ All good. Walk-ins on a Monday night at 7.45pm. Inside table available although reservations preferred. Good service from two chatty female staff and relaxed atmosphere. Two excellent pasta dishes (see pics) washed down with Chianti Reserva (€25). A nice evening ”
