It is an experience of flavors on the palate that must be tried. Also had the mussels that was a delicious, light meal in a beautiful broth with amazing garlic toast that soaks up the liquid and retains the texture. They gave me a perfect white wine to go with it. I would have loved to try more of their menu and specials including different cuts of fish filet, crudo, and mixed fried fish. I will definitely return here my next trip to Rome 10/10.

So many Italians having lunch, elderly and businessmen enjoying a small buffet with great service. It's small, but comfortable and the food was top notch. I ordered lasagna (I still do not know what was in it) and my husband ordered the fungi pasta. We also had an appetizer special with delicious meat, cheese and arugula. Such an enjoyable lunch complete with vino de casa!

(Not a tourist trap, locals still dine here) My Fiance said if we had this restaurant back home, he could come here once a week. I love how they display the desserts so you can eat with your eyes and choose what you want. I ordered the sautéed clams and I loved it so much I got another order. They love the pasta al denté and the vodka penne we ordered was one of the best ones! Also ordered a fish but I can't recall the name of it! Still really good!

No more than 7-8 tables in the dining room. The menu was fish based that evening. We had an anti-pasta plate to start off. The shrimp was some of the best I've ever had. There was too much on the plate to describe, and my Italian isn't strong enough to understand what it was. Our main course was a carbonara noodle plate. It was, as my wife put it, what a chef would serve instead of tuna helper. :) It was amazing. The wine selection was superb as well. We were recommended a nice white that complimented every dish. We finished our dinner with a cannoli. It was incredible. The shell was crisp, the filling was sweet, and the whole dish nicely complemented the meal. We were given a nice Sicilian "digestive aid" of orange liqueur shots to close the meal.

When we arrived the place was empty but we realized we eat dinner earlier than most locals and later more people came in. Our table ordered a variety of meals and everyone enjoyed how fresh the meal was. The restaurant bread was delicious and I normally do not care for bread. My friend ordered a pork dish and she said it was the best pork she had. My sister and another friend ordered the mussels and again the best! She also had pawns on some type of alcohol (spacing on type) and phenomenal. I had calamari and shrimp and a seafood pasta and enjoyed both. Honestly I dream about their calamari and shrimp dish. Everything about this restaurant was nice. The service, the food, everything. Honestly one of the best meals we had while traveling in Italy.

We had an awesome celebratory family friendly meal here. We started with the langoustine tartar with foie gras, which was a delicious mix of flavors. The oysters looked appealing, but were a bit pricey so we passed on those. We also got the sea scallops with pork cheek, which were both delightful and fresh, followed by a tomato-ey pasta dish, which I can't for the line of me remember now, except that it was absolutely delightful. We ordered a sea bass fillet for the main course, which was delicious, although a very small portion, but it was still enjoyed greatly. Service was slow and relaxed, as is typical in Italy; really appreciated this spot serving as our celebratory dinner!

I just gave the 5 euro they said we were short, as we were annoyed with the experience and just wanted to forget it.
