    From the moment we walked in they made us feel like family. My sister and I visited here for dinner after a long day in the Vatican Museums. Every worker came up and introduced themselves at some point during our meal, and made sure the food was up to standard, and boy was it. Not only were their prices fair but their food was so delicious and the environment was amazing, creating the perfect dining experience. Everyone there was truly so happy how much we loved the food and all the guests were talking to one another like we were all at one big family dinner. My favorite part was when we got up to leave, the couple next to us stopped us to share their story of going there for over 25 years and it warmed their hearts to see us so relaxed and enjoy the food as much as they have for so long. Before we left they told us that we are always welcome back with open arms. I hope to find myself back in Rome one day and when I do, I will be coming back.

    Food is great. Awesome customer service. We arrived 30 minutes early and they seated us and provided water and bread before they were even open. Extra friendly and great outdoor patio.

    Carbonara

    This restaurant was recommended to us by the staff at our hotel. We were worried about going to tourist traps and wanted something authentic. This place did not disappoint! We ended up coming here twice! The first time we had the burrata, eggplant parm and the gnocchi. The gnocchi were amazing, the sauce was to die for. The second time we decided to just stick to pasta. I got the carbonara and mom got a pasta that was wrapped in eggplant in a tomato sauce. Cannot remember the name of it but it was delicious. The carbonara was exceptional as well. They also serve you warm bread with olive oil upon request. For dessert we got the tiramisu which was do die for. Lastly the service! I wish I remembered the ladies name who served us both days, she was great. So kind and accommodating that we were tourists and didn't speak Italian. Overall great place 10/10 recommend.

    Needed a quick place to eat after visiting a museum and La Locanda didn't have a wait. The waiter was very welcoming and it was easy to communicate with him even though we were tourists. We ordered the red beet pasta and the tuna steak. Excellent presentation, but the taste was mediocre and the price could not be justified. There was also an extra fee on our receipt for sitting inside, which we were not aware about before.

    This was the perfect 1st night dinner spot . Staff was warm and welcoming. We sat outside weather was perfect. The food came up fresh and in reasonable time. We would recommend this place to all who are in the Vatican area.

    Eggplant Meatballs
    Dan M.

    This establishment had less than 10 tables I would say. It was very tight. The service was well appreciated and the menu had lots of different options. There were multiple entrees I was going back and forth with in deciding what to get. For appetizers we went with eggplant meatballs and the octopus salad. The eggplant meatballs were with smoked cheese. There were only 3 present with a limited amount of tomato sauce. I would have liked additional sauce as it went well with the fried meatballs. The filling was a little mushy, but had an appetizing taste. Regarding the octopus salad, it came with potatoes and olives. It was delicious. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The potatoes and olives went together nicely with the octopus. I ordered the stuffed chicken for my entrée. It was with asparagus, cheese, sweet corn, beer sauce, and purple potatoes. My only complaint about the dish was the size. The chicken piece was very small. The sweet corn and the beer sauce was the headline here. The sauce was one of the best I ever had. For dessert, I had their licorice tartufo. It just seemed to be a scoop of gelato. I never had a licorice ice cream/gelato before, but I enjoyed it. The licorice taste was not too overpowering. Will I go back? Definitely.

    Dessert, hit chocolate cake.

    Authentic Italian food for unbelievable prices. Romans come in and out, so book a table past 8 pm, the maître du plaisir speaks perfect English and is extremely friendly. Good wine selection cheap, one line of the offering is based on organic, wealthy dishes, try it out. English menu available. Absolute recommendation!

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
