We were in Rome and what's more we notice several locals that ate there multiple times.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing from start to finish. After traveling all day,…read morewe arrived for an early dinner, between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. as Yelp showed the restaurant was open. We were met by the owner, who, while allowing us to come in, was noticeably unfriendly and came across as rude, which set a negative tone for the meal. We chose this restaurant because of the outstanding Yelp reviews, especially the praise for the pasta dishes. One of the main reasons we ordered the Cacio e Pepe was because several reviews described it being prepared in an authentic cheese wheel. That was not our experience. It was not prepared as expected, and spinach had been added to the dish even though it was not shown in any of the photos we had seen beforehand. Because of that unexpected ingredient, our daughter wouldn't eat it, which was very disappointing. We also ordered the spicy chicken, and it was, unfortunately, the worst chicken my husband and I have ever had. It contained a lot of bones, was extremely fatty, with very little meat, and was simply unpleasant to eat. Considering the quality of the food, the discrepancy between what was advertised and what was served, and the unfriendly service, we did not feel the meal was worth the price. We left disappointed and would not return or recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

It is off the main road, but just walking distance away from bus stops and the Balduina train station. The cannoli are a decent price and they taste great! I personally tried the pistachio flavor, while my friends tried a creme-like cannolo and a chocolate cannolo which they all enjoyed as well. The place itself is quite small, but what it lacks in square footage they gain by giving off a family-friendly vibe. They were also playing classic American 80s music, which was something that really stood out to me. I will definitely be back to try the other types of pastries and main dishes that they offer.

It is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Be prepared for a bit of a trek--the route includes several sets of steps and passes through many dark alleys and poorly lit roads. It felt a bit isolated, so keep that in mind if you're walking at night. We tried a variety of pasta and pizza. Unfortunately, the pasta was disappointing; while the sauces were heavy and "rich," they surprisingly lacked actual depth or seasoning and didn't taste great. However, the pizza was a much better choice. If you decide to eat here, stick to the pizza. There aren't many dining options within walking distance of the hotel, which makes this a convenient spot by default, but the food (specifically the pasta) didn't quite live up to the recommendation.
