With low light and candles on the table, the ambiance was as romantic as it gets. The door was propped open and beautiful music wafted in from around the corner. We started by sharing the tonnarelli pasta which had cacio cheese, lemon, mint, and Sichuan pepper. My first course was followed by duck with apricots and a caramelized raspberry reduction. The duck was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the sweetness from the fruit and reduction that were paired with it. I ended the night with a strawberry semifreddo that was cold and refreshing. We loved the food and the atmosphere so much that we found ourselves there again the following night. On night two, the dining room was packed and we had the option of taking the last seat by the door or eating in their bakery next door. We opted for the bakery. There was one couple finishing when we were seated so we essentially had a private dining area for the night, which was perfect. They started us with bruschetta and olives and then we split the maltagliati with white ragu sauce, red pepper cream, and pecorino cheese. It was "lick the bowl" delicious! I got the chicken thighs stuffed with tomatoes and olives and served with a balsamic vinegar reduction, which was full of flavor. On our last night in Italy, I couldn't pass on a proper tiramisu. I can't say enough great things about this place. We literally just happened upon it based on the location of our accommodations but it was definitely one of the best finds of our entire trip.

My friend got the gnocchi, which she said was one of the best pasta dishes she's had in her life. I had the cacio e pepe, which was very simple and delicious. The place was rather slow from the service standpoint, but other than that, we can see ourselves coming back again or recommending it to our friends!

As a Southern American trying to navigate Rome, I'm still completely confused. I cannot for the life of me figure out north vs. south or east vs. west in this city. Every street somehow looks historic, beautiful, and exactly the same. By 9 PM, after walking more than 10 miles today and standing in countless lines -- one for over an hour -- I was exhausted. I was close to my hotel and started looking for somewhere to eat. I had already passed Sofia earlier and really didn't want to backtrack even a few blocks. But after going the wrong direction again and somehow ending up right back near it, I figured that was a sign. So, Sofia it was. My ordering skills in Italy are still not exactly professional level. I really need a local Italian to help me. Yeah, I'm slow... remember, I'm from the South. I ordered the Mezza Maniche Carbonara. I mean, you can't really go wrong with noodles, cheese, and pork, right? A few minutes after ordering, they brought out this little appetizer-looking thing that I'm still confused about. It was this tiny little ball about the size of my thumb. I took one bite and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I'm not even sure I want to know what was in it, but at that point I was hungry enough not to ask questions. Then the pasta arrived. Drumroll... First bite? Absolutely divine. Rich, creamy, cheesy pasta with perfectly cooked pork mixed throughout. Fantastic. I devoured the entire plate, chased it down with a Coke, grabbed my glass bottle of water, and walked down the street carrying it like a Roman wino. Great food, great atmosphere, and a perfect little outdoor dining setup on one of Rome's tiny city streets

I love a cake style tiramisu but it was still good and a bit lighter which was nice too. The hotel recommended this restaurant and I can truly see why since it is such a nice jewel for the area.

Our order was simple. Just pizza, bread with oil and a meat and cheese platter. For drinks white light wine, spritz, Prosecco, and a fruity Prosecco. Kiddo loved the pizza. Simple with melty cheese and spicy pepperoni (??pepperoni- not pepperoni but something of the like, sorry). She said it was the best pizza she's ever had and she's had A LOT of pizza! The bread was fluffy on the inside with a crunchy exterior. The oil was simple Olivia oil but had the best "herby" aroma you could taste with each bite. Meat and cheese were delightful. There was a wonderful onion jam that came with it. I wanted to buy some but they didn't have any for sale....so so sad! For drinks, I definitely recommend the Prosecco. Either one.

Located near the Vatican Museums, Kebabbaro is an authentic Mediterranean take-out restaurant that is owned by few friendly dudes, and it got some delicious kebab at cheap price. Originally, I just wanted a snack but the portion was bigger than I thought and I was full! A kebab roll with fries and a can of drink is less than €10 too. The option also includes a falafel wrap or platter if you are somehow not into kebab. Anyway, it's primarily a take-out but there are few booth seats and you get your food extremely quickly. If you are tired of pizza and pasta, give this place a try! *Disclaimer: Okay I actually wasn't tired of Italian food. I was waiting for the metro strike to end, but I'm glad there was a strike because I wouldn't find this delicious kebab place without it!
