"The atmosphere is welcoming and the service was fantastic. They have gluten free pasta and a gluten free bread option. The cacio pepe and the roman artichoke were delicious."

"We were curious about this little Roman restaurant when walking back to our hotel from the train station—and returned as promised to Alessio. We returned an hour later, ordered wine and calamari Fritti for starters. We followed this with lasagna and their yummy gnocchi. For dessert, a luscious chocolate concoction. We hope to return soon and enjoy Alessio’s outstanding service!"

"What an amazing place to eat. We were treated like family and the food was nothing but exceptional. All topped off by the amazing friendly service given to us by the waiter, even down to remembering our names on our return. A small touch but very much appreciated."

"What a fabulous meal! We showed up early and even though they were not open yet, the fine gentleman invited us in to have a seat and glass of wine. The food was simply fantastic. The service impeccable. We shall save this as as one of our must visit places in Rome on future trips! The food photos are just the first plate. The food was so good that when the second plate came … there was no thought of pictures. But let me tell you, the steak and chicken were beyond good!"

"We found this place two days ago and we went to that place twice. Food was absolutely amazing and really enjoyed the Pappardelle “Alla Donati” and Tonnarelli “Cacio E Pepe”. Alessio who was very friendly, recommended us the food and we could never forget Suppli (Nudja). Finally, make sure that you try Thiramusu and Crème Brulee.. If you visit this place, ask for Alessio, you wouldn’t regret with his recommendations."
