This restaurant is a short walk from the Spanish Steps, which is home to high end/luxury shopping stores. Our waiter was excellent - very friendly and helpful. In addition, this was one of the few restaurants that would allow you to split the bill which was a plus for our group. Overall I would recommend this place for lunch if you're looking to make a pit stop between tourist attractions and shopping.

We have eaten here many times over the years, and the restaurant is in a good location so it gets a…read morelot of traffic. Their menu doesn't seem to change over the years though, so it's pretty staid when compared to many other restaurants. As a consequence, I've worked my way through many of their offerings and although many are good, I'm interested in new taste sensations and would prefer to eat elsewhere. That said, their food is tasty and provides a good introduction to Italian cuisine. My wife really likes the veal with cooked apples on top. It's three or four small medallions of veal that appear to have been cooked or baked perhaps, with a ring of thinly sliced apples laid around the top of them. The sauce contains raisins and thinly sliced almonds and perhaps some marsala wine. We think a dab of corn starch may be added to thicken the sauce - or perhaps it's just reduced down. Can't tell if everything is cooked all at once or separately and then brought together, but I think perhaps all together because it's all laid out so nicely on top of the meat pieces. There are little dark pieces of something that look like bits of pepper, but it's not pepper because they have no taste and are soft. Another meal: My wife has had caprese that was a huge plateful of tomatoes and a gigantic bocconcini of mozzarella. The balsamic vinegar could have been a better quality though. For her scondo, she ordered veal cooked with apples and raisins and sliced chestnuts that was really good. I had bruschetta that was really good - good Italian bread toasted, scrubbed with garlic and topped with tomatoes and peppers and something that tasted like chicken liver (not so good). For my secondo, I had veal marsala. In both cases, our veal was tender enough that we could cut it with a fork. And, it wasn't at all salty. The wine was a Barbera d'Alba that was really good too. Another meal: I had a fillet that was very tasty, but was one of the worst cuts of meat I've ever eaten. It so much gristle in it that I was only able to eat about half of the meat. I should have sent it back. Antoher meal: Veal with lemon sauce. Also caprece and bruschetta and a bottle of Barbera. Everything was good. Another meal: My wife had her usual - bruschetta and scallopini cooked with apples, while I had the caprece and scallopini cooked in marsala wine sauce. Again, very tasty. I've watched homeless men approach the door here and be given a meal made up just for them to take away. Very nice to see...

I think my favorite was the catch of the day fish. It was so fresh, everything complemented each other. And the fish was so tender and flavorful. The tomato sauce with the cheese wheel was out of this planet.... I've never tasted something so delicious!!! You have to try the tiramisu because it's made right in front of you and it tastes phenomenal. Will definitely recommend everyone to give this place a try. The chef was so sweet and good care of us. Grazie!!!!

OVERLY PRICED FOR WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. OTHER PLACES ARE CHEAPER WITH BETTER TASTING FOOD -…read more we decided to eat here around 10:30 pm at night, their closing was at 12 which is what made us want to come as other restaurants were closed earlier. upon arrival we were greeted rudely almost as a inconvenience for arriving at this hour. we saw lots of people raving about the pasta being thrown in the cheese wheel which we hadn't experienced on our trip and were looking forward to. we ordered the pastas we saw people raving about and they just out in pans, which took away from what we wanted. regardless, we thought it would still taste good but we were pretty disappointed. we've had other local pastas for way less that tasted better. on top of that their staff was just rude and in a hurry the whole time while serving us. I rather be turned away than to have a bad experience. overall, really pricey considering the quality and bad service. wouldn't recommend.

The Insalada Caprese was great and the Calamari Fritti was perfectly cooked, the Limone Linguini--his mother's recipe--a refreshing change. Having just arrived from the Amalfi Coast, it was good to taste a similar style in Rome. We HIGHLY recommend this Ristorante. We will be back!!!
