While I understand this is the european way, we ordered so much food and it took almost 20 min between dishes and probably over an hour for the first dish to hit the table. I feel like we were here for 3-4hrs and unfortunately having already started to feel a bit under the weather, I stayed out for too long and got very sick for the next few days. Regardless, the food was so delicious I wish I could go back. Thankful the group members were foodies and knew what to order deep fried beef tripe beef flank steak (special) - so tender wagon wheels with campidanese sauce - fan favorite, delicious pumpkin tatin, parmigiana fondue (special) - so yummy, could be wrong, but used a pumpkin that tasted identical to the japanese kabocha pumpkin - extremely sweet and dry/starchy bottle of wine bianchetto - paired so well with the food profiles sheep ricotta cheese, marinated eggplants (3) - so flavorful rigatone al amatriciana - pasta in italy... can't go wrong arancini (3) - a first for me and did not disappoint ordered 3 desserts with the group: chocolate mousse, pear cinnamon cake with ricotta cheese, gelato affogato - all so delicious, perfect sweetness, just the right portions

We ordered a couple of small bites. There was something that was called the prohibited sandwich and the beef bruschetta. They were both amazing, but we are all trying to figure out when we can fit time in to come back for the bruschetta. The server also said that was her favorite. The service was very welcoming from the people that sat us, explained the menu, and checked us out everyone was kind and helpful. The ambience is everything you hope for when visiting Rome. A slightly off the main roads experience that offers a feel of what it might be like if you were lucky enough to call this city home. Grazie Fafiuché!

Super soft and fresh, with a tomato sauce that tasted slow-cooked and balanced, not overly acidic. The cheese on top pulled everything together without being too much. It's a simple dish, but it was done really well. The steak was just as solid. Good sear, still juicy, and not overcomplicated. It didn't need much beyond the squeeze of lemon and the small salad on the side, which actually helped cut through the richness. Overall, it's a really good option if you want something traditional and reliable without it feeling touristy at all.
