You'll enjoy their family-style hospitality, hear stories that bring the region to life, and experience the warmth that makes Italy so special. The food is outstanding, but don't stop there--take in the culture, the history, and the flavors that have been passed down through generations. Every dish feels authentic, every recommendation is made with pride, and every moment feels like you're part of the family. A truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Italy.

We sat outdoors and enjoyed appetizers and a bottle of Chardonnay recommended by our fabulous server. I usually don't love that white variety, however, things always taste better in Italy! For dinner we tried the house specials. They were unique but tasty. Authentic and true to tradition. The chicken and the lasagna. I will come here every time I find myself in Rome now.

As we are bad tourists with poor command of Italian, the friendly servers translated the entire daily specials menu into English for us. They brought us a tasting of their house bread and impossibly rich olive oil, which we downed greedily. The homemade tortellini pasta was outstanding. The succulent chicken was well complemented by a thick lemon-ginger sauce, and the tri-tip was seasoned to perfection. Wine pours were generous. All dishes were very reasonably priced. I hesitated to try the tiramisu, worrying it would be the first letdown of the meal. It did not disappoint. With an artisanal mound of cocoa topping and a generous base of liquor, it was probably the best tiramisu I've had. This dinner made us regret leaving Italy all the more. I never expected to voluntarily plan a trip to Ciampino, but this place would bring us back.
