I fell in love in Rome with Fire. Fero means fire, and this place commits to the flame. Service and…read morethe vibe are also fire. Start with the mussels, steaming, garlicky, and swimming in a broth you'll want to drink. Tip the bowl and go for it. Or, ask for bread for the famous soak. Then comes the Cacio e Pepe.

We explored the area more and found the highest rated restaurant in that area with 80k reviews! I bothered a couple eating there and they were not impressed with their dinner also. Then where do we get good authentic Italian food?? In our frustration I started asking any locals I can find. This young lady spoke enough English to let us know. She even had to call her friend for the location and name. It was not busy. The staff is older and looks like part of the good fellas cast. The decor looks like it too. Haha what an adventure. We were full from previous meal so only order two dish. Rigatoni democratic and seafood risotto . Omg this is it!! So delicious and tastes authentic . We took a picture with the owner I think and I told him he must be famoso! There were pics on the walls.

We had an awesome celebratory family friendly meal here. We started with the langoustine tartar with foie gras, which was a delicious mix of flavors. The oysters looked appealing, but were a bit pricey so we passed on those. We also got the sea scallops with pork cheek, which were both delightful and fresh, followed by a tomato-ey pasta dish, which I can't for the line of me remember now, except that it was absolutely delightful. We ordered a sea bass fillet for the main course, which was delicious, although a very small portion, but it was still enjoyed greatly. Service was slow and relaxed, as is typical in Italy; really appreciated this spot serving as our celebratory dinner!

So many Italians having lunch, elderly and businessmen enjoying a small buffet with great service. It's small, but comfortable and the food was top notch.

Since I lived right across from there I was in here quiet often and the service never failed to please me. The food was excellent and they were accomodating with my peculiar diet needs. I dont know much about italian cuisine to tell you one thing was excellent or the dishes were unique, but I can tell you that none of the dishes left the table with as much as a morsel of food on it !

The bufala pizza is AMAZING and unlike anything I have ever tried in America. I will make my sad attempts to recreate it, but nothing is better than the real thing.

I will be back here next time I am in Italy! First time, we were staying in Piazza Novona, so it was pretty close, but the second time we booked it for 35 minutes in 90 degree weather to go there.
