The vibe in this restaurant felt great when we went in. It seemed to be authentic Roman, and it was very busy which is normally a good sign, and seeing that it was displaying a TripAdvisor award certificate, we were really looking forward to our meal. Sadly the quality of the food on the night we visited, left a lot... More

A very good Italian restaurant offering a wide range of quality food. It's really good value for money and the food is delicious - try the egg plant flowers in batter as a starter! There is seating outside for warm evenings but we chose inside because it was less crowded. In fact we were the only one's inside to start... More

Young crowd, mostly, mixed Euro, good value, every dish a good, portions generous. good wine list, the house white was tasty. Slow service, but of the three factors--price, food, service--this is the one where I would rather skimp.

We dropped by around 21:30, but the kitchen was still open. We ordered several dishes and some red and white wine. During our dinner the lasts guests left the restaurant, but the staff stayed very friendly and never gave us the idea that we needed to hurry. A recommendable place.

We ate here twice on our stay and we heartily reccomend it to everyone. We stayed close to the opera house and this is a ten minute evening stroll away. Firstly get here before 8pm to get a table! You may touch lucky at 9 onwards. Clientel mostly locals ( enough said) we were one of three non native couples... More

We ad a half carafe of red house wine, which was rather good. We had the bruschetta with tomatoes which was excellent. They used quite a... More

We went there for dinner, it full but luckily we found a table. Carbonara and the gnocchi were great!! Good food but the service was slow, although the guy was very kind.

We stopped here for lunch on a Friday, there were just 2 other diners. Service was not effusive, just a lady with a couple of menus and no chatter-but we didn't mind, we just wanted to eat! Food was good and the place looked quite busy at night.

A chance encounter on a raining evening turned into an excellent dinner in comfortable friendly contemporary surroundings. The food was cooked delicately but the portions were generous. There was a good range of dishes focused on traditional Roman cuisine at reasonable prices and a reasonable range of wines at various prices. The house red (from Lazio) was very pleasant and... More
