Very good food and service.  The fried items were excellent!  Artichokes, Salt Cod and Calamari were cooked perfectly.  Also had the Orechiette with broccoli which was good.  No room for dessert so I'll have to go back.  Very nice place and reasonably priced.  I will definitely go back in my next visit to Rome.

A charming family-run restaurant that served a fantastic Sunday lunch complete with cacio e pepe pasta, lamb, cooked greens + roasted porcini, and a cup of wild strawberries with gelato to top it all off. An authentic spot full of Italians, and full of heart.

A typical Italian restaurant. It was like I was in an Italian restaurant that is more frequent visited by the Romans. I loved the authentic atmosphere. We ordered gnocchi and ravioli. The ravioli was marvellous. I recommend you order tiramisu as dessert, one of the best I’ve already tasted.

Had a really great lunch on a Saturday. We tried pasta and gnocchi. The chef even made a special pasta for my particular taste. Appreciated the simplicity of the restaurant, the menu, the flavors. If you want real, local Roman food, it's here.

Lovely restaurant. We didn’t have a booking but got seated; despite this the service was not rushed. Food was delicious, and our server was very sweet. Thank you so much! We are so glad we visited during our trip.
