    Spaghetti loaded w seafood!!!
    Ellen M.

    I was visiting Rome on my first solo trip. I passed by this restaurant on the way to the Spanish steps and just around the corner from my little boutique hotel. The food I saw on the tables looked amazing. I rushed back bc I know the steps will always be there. I just told them what I was in the mood for and the waiter replied "yes yes. We make however you like!" The service was wonderful but the food was fantastic; spaghetti loaded with seafood!!!

    Killing time before tours we ended up in this part of Rome and decided to stop in here for a quick break. When we originally told them we didn't want a full lunch, but instead a small snack, they seemed bummed, and almost didn't want us taking up a coveted outside table, but quickly changed their mind and sat us. I'm sure they were happy when we ordered more than just a coffee as they were probably imagining. The service here was pretty good (again, once their "mood" changed), and they even brought over the wifi password for me when they saw me using my phone, so an extra star for that. I did go inside to use the restroom and was almost upset we didn't get to sit in there. Small and cozy, but quite beautiful and the bathroom was very nice as well. Since this was "vacation" alcohol was necessary with every meal, so I happily sipped on some prosecco before deciding on proscuitto and melon as my afternoon snack. My step father surprised as all with a bit appetite and ordered ravioli, which he said was the best of the whole trip. My mother went with the more appropriate coffee and tart - afternoon carb fest, and she loved it. For an afternoon pick-me-up this was a great spot for people watching on the busy streets, and I think would be a great spot for dinner as well (given the beautiful interior).

    Pizza Capricciosa

    In my preparation for my trip to Italy, there were two dishes my friends told me to look out for and try while there; Cacio e Pepe & Pizza Capricciosa. So after exploring the Spanish Steps I was lured in by a cute Italian waitress telling me about all the foods they have. "We have pasta, we have pizza, fresh fish..seafoods..meats!" It sounded great but what brought me in was that they had the two dishes I needed to try. Seeing how it was the first time I had Pizza Capricciosa and Cacio e Pepe, I enjoyed both dishes. Based on this meal, I actively searched out both of these during the rest of my trip in Italy.(Although Cacio e Pepe is a Roma cuisine) Overall it's a great little place on the Piazza di Spagna.

    Amazing food. Had the white truffle fettuccine and I practically licked the plate clean. Also had their grilled fish which was just as good. Dessert was a must and the wine deserved a second glass. Will be back to this place for sure. They also ask if you want bread and don't force it (and the cost) onto you.

    The risotto. Looks soggy.

    This was probably the worst restaurants we've been to whole we're in Italy. It wasn't necessarily bad but it wasn't great either. We had roast potato, risotto and lasagne and they were all bad. Such a tourist trap. The roast potato were soggy and salty, the risotto was overcooked and salty and the lasagne tasted like water. We actually came here after reading the reviews and I think I can honestly assume the people who worked there wrote them, except for Dennis, who pretty much summed it all well. There are way better restaurants around the area than this.

    Lemon and shrimp pasta

    We ordered a Margherita pizza to start which was delicious and perfect for the 3 of us to split. We each got a pasta dish. I'd say they were okay but didn't compare to the other pasta dishes we've had in Italy. Best one would be the fungi pasta. Also, when I went to the bathroom I saw a waiter come out and do a rinse with water only (no soap). Gross!

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

    Great first meal in Rome!…read more I loved my artichoke pasta dish with bacon, it was a daily special. The amaretto dessert was delicious! Carbonara was super al dente. Seafood risotto was fresh. Grilled radicchio was like stir fried. Dinner for 3 for 77 euros, impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, easy for English speakers. :)
