    Probably the best pasta I have had on my trip. Not super salty and extremely tasty. Good portion size for the price.

    Pasta Carbonara with Truffles
    Len L.

    We were near the Vatican, and my son found this little place on Apple Maps. It's literally a little 'hole in the wall' with limited seating (most of the room dedicated to the kitchen area). But it was really highly rated (close to a 5!). The cashier (probably the owner) was super friendly, spoke English, and gave great recommendations. I had the Pasta Amatriciana (red sauce with small pork cheek chunks). My son asked for a recommendation, and the owner quickly obliged with the Carbonara but to add Truffle. He admitted that added $6.50 (to a $7.50 pasta dish). When my son asked if it was worth it, he quickly said, "It's amazing!". He was right! We had our delicious pastas and drinks for $26.

    Gricia with extra truffles!!
    Evan C.

    Wow this place is amazing. In a little alleyway close to the Vatican, with really cheap prices - most pastas start at 7.5 euros. Hint - add truffles to the carbonara and gricia. It's worth it. The pasta is SOOO fresh and the taste and texture is off the charts. The sauce goes well with it. It's like kind of pasta you can't get in the states. And that's really it. The carbonara has really good flavour. Especially combined with truffle sauce. Very friendly staff too.

    If you're looking for that local magic gem with great prices and better quality, look no further than EGG!! My favorite pasta spot in Italy!!

    Gricia

    We first visited here last year and happened to find it after a long tour at the Vatican. My husband said it was his favorite dish in Rome. We came back again this year because we enjoyed it so much. The food is delicious and the owner is so nice. The menu is simple but delicious. It's obvious the food is homemade with care, and it's a great value for the price especially.

    Good food, no place to seat but nice for a quick bite for a fair price. Staff could be a little friendlier but overall would recommend

    Their pasta is good but not as good. Considering the price why probably reviews were over rated.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

    After a long morning in the Vatican (there is sooo much stuff!), we were on the verge of hangry…read moreand thanks to Yelp, decided to check out BPA (way too long to spell out!). So happy we did as this place definitely delivers. There is seriously like 8 tables in the dining room so expect a wait in line but trust me, it's worth it. We waited outside for about 25 minutes. They do take your order while in line so the wait for food (once you do get a table) is abbreviated. Out of the world pastas and the pistachio tiramisu is seriously out of this world. Inexpensive table wine rounds out a great meal. This is the type of place I love to go to. It's quaint, zero pretense and delivers on its food. A great find!
