This is my very 1st complaint about food in Italy...by far the worst place we ate in our 17 days in Italy!!!!! My husband ordered the shrimp pasta after the staff recommended it, and it was horrific. I believe if he ate it he would have gotten sick. It was the bad seafood taste. The owners walked by multiple times, blatantly seeing his plate full, and never asked if his dish was ok. He finally informed the staff that it was not good. They did not ask him if he wanted a different dish. And to our shock, they still charged us for it!!!!!!! Of course we were appalled and asked that it be taken off the check. It makes me gag even thinking about the smell of his dish. So many good restaurants in Rome...do not waste your time here.

We had a great meal here that we really enjoyed. The dish our friends who live in Rome chose said it was the best example they'd ever had. The ambience and service is top notch :)

Liked this restaurant. Had nice wine and antipasti. Ordered beef steaks. It were very tasty. Not an option for kids. Service was nice and friendly, not fast. Food was fresh and worth to wait for. Can recommend it.

After a recommendation from a friend, my husband and I had dinner here on our first night in Rome. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful without being overly fancy. The service was great - they were attentive but not bothersome, and the bottle of wine our waitress recommended was reasonably priced and excellent. I ordered a pasta dish, which was great, but the lamb my husband ordered was truly exceptional. As it was our first night in town, we were too jet lagged to make it through dessert, which is a decision I now regret. I would definitely come back here and would recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal with a twist on traditional Italian food.
