    Pasta-tively delicious!
    Thomas A.

    The vaca (of a lifetime) was in its final chapter, the fam coming back to Roma (where it originally started) and just feet (okay, meters!) away from our (final) hotel... this joint. A warm and inviting staff greeted us, sat us outside in their 'dining shed' and we just knew it was going to be a good (great) night. Almost 5-stars across the board from the entire fam (rack of lamb to a hamburger - in Italy?! - to gnocchi and fettuccine dishes) - we were stuffed (portions here were a bit more 'serious' than at some other spots over the past week). A heavy wine pour (Grazie mille!). So much flavor in each dish. Friendly - and fun - staff. Another winner all around.

    Decent and flavorful food. we came here after we visited Vatican City, it was a short walk away and away from all of the tourist trap restaurants.

    Came here with a group, our guide lives here in the Borgo and this is one of his faves. Terrific service, the food fresh, yummy, the bruschetta was flavorful and not soggy. Many in our group don't speak Italian and there wasn't anything lost in translation It was busy, and not a huge seating area so a bit cramped but we could get by, elbows and hips occ touching others

    Top: Carbonara, Bottom: Amatriciana

    We came here after our Vatican tour & was seated inside immediately. The waitress did speak English & she was very kind. This wasn't a planned restaurant & out of our entire Rome trip, this place had my favorite Amatriciana! All the ingredients were perfectly balanced. 100% recommend. It was delicious!

    Carbonara the best you'll find

    Absolutely incredible experience! So beautiful! The food was so authentic. The Greek salad was the best we've ever had. The pasta dishes were amazing. I'm from the states and this is amazing food! Fabrizio is the best server around. If you don't stop here for a meal, you've missed Rome!

    After our Vatican CIty tour we were ready for lunch and started our search. Yelp led us to this spot. We arrived around 2 on a Thursday afternoon and luckily a corner table outside was waiting for us. Surprisingly, they were busy. Inviting and cozy Trattoria with an enclosed outside seating area. We started with the Burrata appetizer and an Aperol Spritz and Moretti Original Lager. Topped with anchovies, the Burrata was delicious. Complimentary bread was a nice touch. For lunch it was Spaghettoni Felicetti Alla Carbonara -proper Carbonara with Pork cheek vs Pancetta-amazing. From "Our Proposal,"Noodles with Cuttlefish Ragout was excellent. House-made desserts were tempting but we didn't have room nor time. Interestingly, they have a Burger on the menu-the table next to us ordered one and was raving about it. Our server was excellent and took great care of us. If in the Borgo neighborhood, don't miss this gem!

    We were able to make reservations for our party of 9 after our visit to the Vatican for 12pm. The inside was very clean, service was fantastic and the food was delicious. This was honestly one of the best meals we had the whole time we were in Rome. From the salad to main course and dessert. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality meal. It's only 8 ish minute walk from Piazza St Peter.

    We got seated in the back room which had air conditioning-a pro. However the pros just about ended there. The amatriciana we ordered was hard and undercooked, which was a big surprise for Rome. You could literally see the center was a different color. I had a gnocchi dish which was decent, and the other dishes were so so. The one major issue was even by Italian standards the service was exceptionally slow, and the staff kept forgetting us. The last things we had ordered were two espressos, which they forgot and needed reminding when they brought the bill including the charge for it. The lunch took over 2 hours, and when we left, all the people in the restaurant when we entered had already left, and the place was pretty empty. On the plus sign the bathroom was pretty clean, and everyone was welcoming, if not forgetful.

    OMG, so good. Went here after Vatican. Delicious pasta! We started out with the buratta, which was delicious. I had the Amatriciana, and wifey had the Cacio de Pepe which was delicious too. Worth the stop when in Roma.

    Pear and ricotta cheese
    Sandy L.

    Food and service was excellent. We had the rib of lamb, stuffed chicken, anti pasta plate, tiramisu, Black Forest cake and pear and ricotta. Everything was excellent. Best meal so far.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
