    I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking and give some highlights of our meal. - Great service and ambiance (cozy) - Delicious food (Frutti de mare and pork shank). Both were well prepared and full of flavor - Well priced Definitely not a tourist trap like others in the area.

    First time to Rome, first place I eat at. The food is absolutely amazing you can actually close your eyes to eat it's so amazing. My wife and I went twice we go to Rome on Sunday had lunch and went back for dinner the next night. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want "REAL" Italian food. The staff was very friendly, and remembered us from the previous day. We were given many free complimentary foods which were excellent. The pizza and tiramisu were delicious highly recommended. One thing I will add is we did get a bottle of wine for 15,00€ and later that night went down to the local coop store and found the bottle for 3€. The wine was very good but not worth the huge price gap.

    Last day of our 10 day trip in Europe with a group of 19 wonder humans we are leading and we ended up having lunch at Grottino d'Abruzzo. Ordered the Bucatini all's Amatriciana E 9.00. Seriously the best tasting pasta I had the whole trip. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent waiter. Very knowledgeable. Very interesting. Very helpful. Perfect location. Extensive menu. Delicious food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome, especially if in the Monti area. Will definitely come back when in Rome again.

    This has absolutely the best food in Italy [I know it sounds cheesy, but it was the best experience.] The waiters gave us their card two nights before, and were so kind. Two nights later we came back on our very last day, and it did not disappoint. Everyone had great smiles on their faces. We made conversation with the waiters who, I felt like I had known for years. They also gave us a free eggplant and cheekpea marinated in olive oil and white vinegar which was to die for. The spaghetti frutti di mare was loaded with seafood. The pork shank was incredibly tender. -Food is FANTASITC This seemed like a family Italian restaurant with AMAZING servers. I LOVE THIS PLACE! DEFINITELY will be coming back, and I recommend it to everyone.

    Doesn't look like much but it's amazing!

    This is a small out of the way restaurant for locals. Amazing food and way less expensive than the touristy areas. Do yourself a favor and eat here!

    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. :)
