“ Can’t recommend this place enough! Prices are really good and it’s so close to the pantheon! Usually we don’t eat at places close to tourist attractions, but this was truly amazing!! I had the dish of the day and my partner the carbonara. The Tiramisu was so delicious and you had to make it yourself which was really fun and unique! One of the best Tiramisu I ever had! ”
“ Overall a positive experience! It was quick to get a table and we ate very tasty food. A cod with vegetables and bread underneath was ordered (we don’t understand the breads being inside the sauce because it softened, but that’s ok), side potatoes, a carbonara, a alla matriciana and a bolognese. Everything was very tasty, a good place to have lunch around the Pantheon. ”
“ Best choice you could have made in the city center. I ordered the pork tenderloin with mustard and rosemary with fries and a mixed salad and it was absolutely delicious. My husband also had some homemade pasta with perico cheese, black pepper and bacon and was extremely happy. The surprise came at the end when we received a delicious homemade cake and pistachio liqueur ”
“ This place is a true gem. The food is nothing short of culinary artistry: the pasta delights with its rich, multi-layered flavors, each dish telling its own story. Their house wine is delicate and refined, with subtle notes that perfectly complement the meal. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is the service – impeccable, warm, and effortlessly attentive, among the finest in Rome. The staff goes above and beyond to make every moment feel special. Highly recommend to visit ”
“ Very good restaurant with authentic Italian food, with authentic ingredients. The maccaroni was homemade and really tasty. All the food we tried was amazing, from antipasti, pasta and dessert! The red wine was dry but very good. Prices are really affordable. Service was outstanding, really friendly, funny, kind! Love this small place (they do not have a terrace,bl but the food and service will make for it 100%) ”
“ We were so impressed with the food and the service that we went there twice. The athmosphere is great, the service is on point and the food is really good. They serve bread (on the house) which is sourdough (extra points for that). We tried the insalata mista/mixed salad, polpette di melanzane/eggplant meatballs (amazing), spaghetti cacio e pepe/spaghetti cheese and pepper (really tasty), ravioli ripieni di stracotto di manzo/ravioli filled with stewed beef, maccheroni alla carbonara/macaroni carbonara (this is the only thing that was more mediocre), vegetarian pizza with eggplant (forgot the name, but highly recommend, amazing taste), deconstructed tiramisu (really tasty and awesome presentation), creamy lemon with wild berry coulis (this is the desert to try for sure). At the end they surprised us with amazing digestive (I don't want to spoil it, just go there and try it). Pricing is also great, both times we (for two people) paid around 55-60 EUR (including water, wine and service fee). If we go back to Rome we will definitely go there to eat. ”
“ So far our favourite lunch in Rome! The food was amazing, the staff really nice and the interior was pretty too. The prices were really good for the portion sizes as well. We’ll be back! ”
“ This was the best restaurant I went to in Rome by far! My family came here for lunch and then had to come back for dinner the next day because the food was that good. Every dish we had from the appetizers to the pastas was phenomenal. The staff was so kind and the price was so reasonably priced we thought there was a mistake. A hidden gem! ”
