There was plenty of seating outside, but they seated us downstairs inside. Restrooms were okay, not overly clean. I had ordered the fried octopus and the swordfish pasta with eggplant and tomato (so fresh). Both were delicious and came in large portions. There was also free wifi. Service was friendly up until we told them that we had wanted several pieces of cake for the table and then changed our mind to go get more gelato instead and also that we were paying with a large amount of vouchers that we had been given in our Jubilee package (understandable though). 2025 #56

We ordered a bottle of wine and a few beers - all were very good. Ordered appetizers of caprese, prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella as well as another platter of assorted items.

Loved the truffle flavoring. The ambiance is very nice - off the main road and tables outside. The host was wonderful too - she's warm and friendly. We can't want to come back. Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

Luckily, I checked another source and realized they closed earlier. We arrived (after a dead sprint from piazza navona) 25 minutes before closing.

I absolutely love this place, and I make arrangements whenever I'm in Italy to somehow make sure I can get here fit a meal. This time we had the arrabiata and finished with tiramisu.

There is plenty of outdoor seatings but we chose to sit inside enjoying the AC. The menu has a variety of choices. The owner recommended the special pasta, seafood pasta with squid ink. My daughter ordered the chicken and pepper fettuccine. To start, the chef offered the complimentary cheese ball with pesto sauce. It was yummy. My pasta was so amazingly done. The spaghetti was cooked al dente. The squid ink sauce blended well with the shrimps, clams and mussels. My daughter's fettuccine was also well prepared. The sauce and the minced chicken blended very nicely with the sauce. For dessert, we tried the pistachio semifreddo. It's my first time trying this Italian dessert. It's like a pistachio ice cream/cake texture. The dessert was so heavenly and the pistachio sauce was both crunchy and rich. If you look for a solid good Italian restaurant, Culinaria is highly recommended.
