  What a fun and happy environment this restaurant has! The waiters seem happy to be there and are cracking jokes throughout the meal, it's an extremely comfortable place to be. We made a reservation and were greeted by name at the door, which added such a nice touch.
  
  I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband got the carbonara. We both absolutely LOVED the food. My seafood (clams, mussels, shrimp, etc.) was cooked perfectly, the pasta was all homemade and wonderful, and the garlicky buttery sauce was divine. I was only sad it was such a big portion I couldn't finish all of it.
  
  We got tiramisu for dessert which was also delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Rome. Our favorite place we ate by far!

  Visiting Rome for the first time and found this place online. I must say this was hands down was the best meal my boyfriend and I had while in Rome. We also felt that the restaurant was full of locals and felt more authentic than other places we've eaten at during our trip.
  
  We ordered the gnocchi and bucatini to start and then split the veal dish. The veal was probably one of the most flavorful dishes I've had. The prices are great. We had our dishes, bread, water, a liter of wine, tiramisu, espresso and amaretto and the bill was about €60.
  
  We arrived around 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday, so a little later than the average Italian dinner time. The place was still busy but we were able to be seated. Would recommend making a reservation if you plan to come earlier. The the wait staff was incredibly attentive and so kind. Absolutely will visit again in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality dinner.

  This place has an old world charm, the place was cheery, a little larger than most of the Restaurants in the area.  Make a reservation, this was one of the many popular areas in Rome.  We had a seafood salad, steak and it was good. I liked the intimacy of the place and the fact that it seemed to be a family business. I would try it again.

  The most amazing little Italian restaurant in all of Roma! We went here twice in our 7 day stay it because it was so incredible! The staff is friendly and the food is to die for!

  Great restaurant by the colosseum! We went at 12 and no one was inside but the food was amazing and turns out we were just eating early. A lot of locals came in for lunch. Must try the grilled king prawn! It was cooked perfectly. I very much enjoyed the grilled calamari and lobster pasta as well. The locals were ordering the carbonara which looked really good, next time I will have to try.
