It was late and we were hungry after a long 4 hour train ride from Florence. It was 10 PM and we had no idea what to do, as most restaurants and groceries were long closed. This restaurant was still open and right next door to our airbnb so we rushed here to get something in our bellies before this restaurant closed for the night.
The server rushed us in to a table. After we ordered, he brought us bread and water while we waited for our food. All the food was great, we ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad.
We got two pizzas: the Diavolo and the other, I cannot recall the name, but was the most interesting pizza I have ever had. The Diavolo was spicy and cheesy, but the other was chock full of ingredients: egg, olives, and the prosciutto (forgive me if I identified the meat incorrectly, I'm not a connoisseur of cured meats). They were personal pizzas but my dad and I each ate half ... So we ended up with a full pizza left over.
The carbonara pasta looked pretty good and so did the salad, but I didn't get a taste of either one. My sister did note that the carbonara was slightly overlooked, since the egg in the sauce had started to scramble.
At the end of the meal, we received small biscotti and meringue, I'm guessing to sweeten the bite of the check. The cost wasn't as heavy as we thought (not quite €€€), thank goodness.
Overall, a pleasant meal. My favorite part of the experience was the fact that all the families and couples in the restaurant were Italian. A great way to start off our short visit in Rome! read more
