We stumbled in here by happenstance after being turned away nearby and it was the best meal we had in Italy. Really creative and delicious seasonal dishes, lovely servers who patiently explained the menu, and amazing tiramisu. Prices were very reasonable and it really seemed like a local gem.

A must visit - the restaurant is small and cozy, good quality food for the price point. Waiter is very welcoming. Their homemade tiramisu is, hands down, the best I’ve ever tried. Go and enjoy yourself there!

First night in Rome...and we don't speak Italian. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Italian wine recommendation was fabulous, the food was excellent and though we were the last in the restaurant they did not rush us, and instead recommended an after dinner drink. The restaurant is small with a delightful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Truly a hidden gem. My server Ridg, was fantastic! Not only did I love his recommendations, I really liked that I saw him and the other server working together. I had the artichoke salad and the tuna. The tuna may have been a special. I started with white wine and then asked for another recommendation. The rose was great as well.

Seriously delicious pasta we had the spaghetti with artichoke and Guanciale. Amazing flavours wrapped up in a delicious cheese topping. The service was quite good although I felt as we were not locals we got slightly put on the back burner. But the food came quickly and the wine was good. Very good value and we will be back

Today we found this little restaurant by chance. An absolute stroke of luck! We are in Rome for a week and this is by far the best restaurant we have been to so far. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was very familiar. The food was so delicious that we were persuaded to have a dessert in addition to the starter and main course. The five stars are absolutely deserved. Thank you for a lovely, delicious afternoon, keep it up!
