    Margarita pizza and gnocchi

    Very good! Highly recommend when you come to Gaeta. The service was excellent as well

    Antipasto di mare -- a MUST order! So lemony and fresh. This is what my dreams are made of.

    I loved this restaurant I haven't stopped thinking about it since my first night in Rome. We walked in about 5 minutes after opening to the staff sitting down for dinner. They looked at us a little funny but seated us anyways, giving us time to look over the menu. We were overwhelmed with everything on the menu because it all sounded so good! We ordered: * bruschetta (5 out of 5 -- so delicious and so fresh with the most wonderfully toasted and still spongy bread) * antipasto di mare (7 out of 5 -- this is what I've been dreaming of since that night over a week ago - WOW) * bucatini with tomato and guanciale (4.5 out of 5 -- pasta was cooked so perfectly with great flavor from the guanciale) * spaghetti alla vongole (4 out of 5 -- my boyfriend ordered this and really, really liked the flavor) * house red wine (4 out of 5 -- nice and light, not sweet but fruity) * mixed berry panna cotta (5 out of 5 -- flavors were complimentary and bursting) * daily dessert - chocolate with ricotta and pine nuts, topped with fresh whipped cream (3.5 out of 5 -- it was good but not our favorite) Service was fantastic. The wait staff are the older men and they don't need to write anything down. Our Italian is very limited and their English isn't the best but we got by! Overall, such a wonderful first Italian meal and one I will never forget.

    This was my second time eating pasta in Italy, and it was fantastic. I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole veraci, which is just a simple pasta with olive oil and clams. It was delicious! I can definitely tell a difference between olive oil in the USA and olive oil in Italy based on this dish. The olive oil is much brighter here! My dad ordered a pizza, and it was really good. The crust was perfectly made. The char around the edges implied it was cooked in a wood-fired oven (cannot confirm or deny). The tomato sauce was light but tasty. Yum! I would definitely recommend coming here again. Unfortunately we did not have time to return, and when we did visit, it was after midnight when they closed. The waiter spoke a bit of English, which was helpful, and English menus are available. Service was great, and timing of food was accurate. Enjoy!

    Read the reviews and came for dinner on our last night in Rome. I immediately fell in love with our waiter. This was the best meal in Rome and we have been here six days. Everything was perfect. Sorry we can't transport them to Connecticut. We came at 7:30. The place was empty bit by 9:00 it was packed. Definitely a local following.

    Nothing at this place can seem to go wrong. The staff speak English and are very helpful. This place makes great Neapolitan food - definitely get some fish and check out the antipasto bar. Don't squander their generosity and they'll be good to you. A must go.

    Had delicious brick oven pizza with pomodoro and mushrooms. Pesto pasta was perfectly al dente. Water served in bottles to pour into glasses. 1 liter bottled Coke available.

    So delicious, Me and my wife loved it. Everything was cooked perfectly. Very authentic and traditional food. The waiters were helpful when I wasn't sure what to get. I'm sure anything you eat here delicious.

    Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

    Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
