Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Without doubt, some of the best food I have ever eaten. Everything we ordered was perfect, arriving quickly, and with warm, friendly service. The desserts, made by Mama were a definite highlight and the whole experience was so good, we will be booking again. A true hidden gem."
"What a gem! Of all the food we had in Italy, this was by far the best- so much so, we went twice for dinner! It was in a quaint little alleyway neighborhood, not far from Ponte Lungo Metro Station, and we fell in love with the restaurant, the family that runs it, their house wine, their food, the quality, the quantity, and THE PRICE! Very affordable for premium food! We really loved their sausage gnocchi, rack of ribs: GET.THE.ITALIAN.RACK.OF.RIBS!! (Yes, I’m yelling at you- you won’t regret it)! We aren’t big dessert eaters but so glad we didn’t skip the heavenly caramel, ricotta dessert. We will keep this place in our hearts forever and will come back if we are ever in Rome again! Thank you, beautiful people"
"Recommended to take a reservation, me and my girlfriend was lucky to get a table ( 19:45). The atmosphere is very friendly,the service is "sharp" . Good house wine ( Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) . Highly recommended the ribs, take a side dish baked potato and red wine. Gnocchi with pesto is nice and my girlfriend really liked the carpaccio ( delicious taste and texture) . Different varieties of tiramisu . For a goodbye take a shot of cherry liqueur.Greetings from Boris and Karla"

"You need to go to this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff and ambiance only add to this amazing experience. My husband and I ordered the pork ribs and the pesto gnocchi and we couldn’t get enough of each bite. Make sure to make a reservation in advance as tables fill up quickly. Definitely one of the best meals we’ve ever had."
