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.

It was a one hour walk for me after whole day of walking while being very hungry AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT! We went there at Sunday evenenig, at 7 there was very empty and quiet, a perfect cozy atmosphere.

A proper traditional family restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere.  We visited on a Friday night so it was very busy but service was quick and the staff friendly and welcoming.  We all had pasta dishes which were delicious but there were many other options including some vegetarian.  The other customers were mostly local Romans who could not have been more welcoming. The house wine was good and the meal was good value.

Enjoyed a great meal - cosy local and traditional restaurant. Recommend the artichoke starters the beef with balsamic vinegar! The pasta was also great - the perfect texture. Highly recommend. Thanks for having us!

Cozy, local restaurant with amazing food. Their focaccia was addictive, and their pasta dishes were seasoned beautifully, perfectly al dente, and packed with flavor. The staff were friendly, and an English menu is available. The prices were also very reasonable. Definitely recommended if you’re in the area!
