    Store front was very welcoming!

    In passing by this restaurant on a walk in the neighborhood, it looked inviting and welcoming, with its lights and holiday cheer. It didn't disappoint when we decided to stop by for dinner. We were seated right away by a very pleasant gentleman with a warm and genuine smile. The menu had a good selection of non-pasta options, Like swordfish and beef, that looked very appealing. We ordered a salad, pasta pomodoro, meatballs in red sauce and beef with rosemary. The salad was colorful and fresh with various lettuces, corn, olives and fresh tomatoes. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not so "al dente" that it was chewy, and went down easily. The beef was a nice medium cooked steak that was buttery. It was not as trimmed as a cut I might get back home, but the flavor was there! The meatballs were nicely arranged in a pool of sauce with bread arranged around the bowl. My son had no problem enjoying them. Overall, a good meal and possibly worth a trip back to test out some of their other dishes

    My first lunch in Rome didn't disappoint! Restaurant with outside dining along a busy road.. staff was so friendly and engaging. Immediately greeted and served drinks. Birra media... my new favorite saying medium beer. Ice colder .... Mmmmmm I went with a Margherita pizza, it's super thin and so fresh, lol s of flavor in this baby. Loved the outside area. Very small bathroom on site.

    Found this place while walking down the street. Food was awesome, nuff said! But I do recommend the dishes with homemade egg noodles.

    Delicious Campari Spritz!

    We ate here twice on our visit to Rome. First visit was just my husband and I popping in without a reservation. She quickly sat us at a table by the window and brought our drinks without pause. We had mozzarella and prosciutto for appetizer. The size was perfect for two and everything was so fresh! We then split the pasta carbonara which was fabulous. The chef split it to two bowls (nice touch) and flavored perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. It is untraditionally served in a mug, which gave me pause. However, it too was fresh and every bite had all the flavors together. Perfect! The cost was not too bad either, it was 75€ for appetizer, meal, 4 drinks, dessert and grappa. The second visit was with 8 of us - service was still great and food was again fabulous!

    Great, English speaking service. Not far from the Colosseum. Vegan options -- the spaghetti and penne are egg-free and the penne arrabbiata is fully vegan! I didn't ask about their vegetable soups, but they might also be vegan. They had salad options too of course. And bruschetta with olive oil as a starter!! The bruschetta was good if slightly less than flavorful. I added salt, but garlic or onion would've taken it over the top! The bread was fresh and delicious though. Definitely worth the €2 for a nice starter. I got the penne arrabbiata which was good! The portion was large for under 10 euro but I wish it had been spicier. My friend got the steak for €14, he said it was pretty good but be warned that it comes with no sides. Just a steak on a plate. The other 2 in our group got ravioli with spinach and loved it--though it's worth noting that the portion was noticeably smaller than my penne. The non-vegans in our party finished with panna cotta and loved it. We all enjoyed our meal!

    Spaghetti Carbonara.

    Although the restaurant only had two other parties, we decided to give this place a try. Considering how heavy pasta and pizza is, the three of us shared the Capricciosa Pizza (€9.50) and Spaghetti Carbonara (€9.50) with a bottle of Mineral Water (€2.00). This was the perfect amount for us with no leftovers. The pizza was pretty plain topped with two slices of prosciutto, a few mushroom and olive bites, and one piece of artichoke. Honestly, it was pretty much a cheese pizza. Despite that, the flavor was still good and the crust was thin and crispy. I actually enjoyed the crust most while dipping it into the balsamic vinegar. As for the carbonara, it was more creamy than one I had the night before, so that was a plus. Although still nothing special, but good. Overall, it's just another Italian restaurant along the street of Rome. It's not bad, but not that great either.

    Out hotel recommended we come over to this area, as it has great food and attracts the locals. My fella was hoping for more traditional pasta and rejected the specific restaurant recos because he didn't like their more modern menus. So, we rounded the block and found this place. Very disappointed. The pastas weren't great. The veal was so tough I had one bite and rejected it. The patio was right on a busy street next to the metro- not a relaxing spot to eat. My recommendation, walk yourself down the metro steps and hit the next street over for food. All restaurants on that strip looked amazing! We missed out trying to get our last good traditional pasta on our last night in Italy.

    This was our last night in Rome and hands down the best dinner we had. Flavorful. The lemon chicken was outstanding. My pasta was very flavorful. My husband enjoyed his lasagna as well. I got the roast chicken leg as well. Cooked perfectly. All staff was kind and not at all pushy like some places. If we were here another night we would go back

    Linguini Pesto Chicken (comes with shrimp, but I asked to substitute.)  It was amazing!!!

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Revisited after 19 years - truly authentic and will return…read more Although, we didn't have the same waiter, he is still there after 29 + years. Every dish we ordered was delicious, not a crumb remained on the plate!
