We went out to dinner at this restaurant last night. Honestly, our expectations weren't that high, but eating here was more than disappointing. I do not recommend anyone to sit at a table in this restaurant, although the service was excellent the food seemed like...dog food and it ruined our night. Today when I write this review, I woke up vomiting, I think it's because the menu says that everything is frozenMore

The service is decent but the treatment of the clients by the waiters is pretty bad. They are very arrogant, impatient. I was pretty much pushed out of the way by a waiter while trying to get to my table from the bathroom. The waitress...was annoyed that we weren't ready to order and just lacked basic cordiality and tact when serving.More

We enjoyed our dinner here. We had a large group and they created a great experience for us. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was well priced and we enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Rude management. Refused to accept the change given at checkout. Not a good end to an ok meal. Outside seating that was warm and comfortable. Kind waiters. Food was ok. Pizza not recommended. Much better options in this area. Pasta was slightly better than the...abysmal pizza but not by much. Cheap option. Generally do not recommend…More

The pizza we ordered was totally dry and the ham and cheese was put after separately on it so it was terrible.

When I looked at my bill afterwards, servizio (service charge) is noted between the food and drink on recept. Basically hidden. The waiter specifically told me service wasn't included on the bill when he handed it to me and I tipped. I'm pretty sure this...is common place at this restaurant!!More

The food here is amazing. The Caccio de peppe was a revelation! Pizza was fantastic. Reasonably priced and in a lovely little neighbourhood. Service was a bit slow, but they were very busy and friendly so no matter. Good food takes time. Loved it. Will...be back.More

We stopped here for a lightish lunch and it was ideal.The pizza was €5 and very good. Other diners' dishes looked good and we wished we were eating more, but already had a dinner booked for the evening. If you're looking for no fuss, good...quality traditional food at low prices, look no further.More

The staff was very friendly from the beggining! Being very helpfull! The food was great, we love the texture and flavour of the gnocchi! They include beautiful bread made on a wood oven (at least seems like it). The tiramissu is also really good and...all the prices are very reasonable!More

If you're looking to try a variety of Italian foods without wasting money, this is the place! The menú lists numerous options at reasonable prices along with a wide selection of drinks, appetizers, and desserts. 4 starts for the service, options, and food. Not the...best quality but for a cheap price and overall good experience it makes the cut. Only disclaimer, the tables have little space between each other which makes it a bit awkward....eating so close to others makes the atmosphere lack intimacy and privacy.More

Nice family-owned establishment that’s been around a long time. Hardworking, attentive staff. Fast and friendly service. They can get overwhelmed during busy periods so a little patience and understanding goes a long way. Their set menu is good value for money. The food is decent...and fresh. If you’re hungry/hangry and you just want a simple fuss-free pasta/pizza in a comfortable environment at an affordable price, this place will satisfy that criteria.I’ve eaten here a couple of times over the years and I found the service and food quality consistently good.More

Perfect place to go if you want Italian food at a great price. It is located in a quieter zone than most of the city and the prices are just the best

We went because a friend recommendation. It’s ok that is in the middle of Rome and you think that is “Real Roman/ Italian Food” but is completely the opposite. The dishes had no taste. The service was ok but not super friendly. The carbonara was...terrible, the desserts as well. Small portions. The waiters just flipped the table clothes even if they were dirty…. We payed around 30€ p/person. I recommend the little trattorias or ask to a local because this tourist places are not the real Italian Cuisine. I won’t return.More

Trastevere
Trastevere ("beyond the Tiber") is like a faded

streets, weathered Renaissance buildings, and
overgrown personality, it's become an irresistible
mecca for visitors. Trastevere is an enclave of
