When we arrived the place was filled with locals, who appeared to be having the best time. There was lots of drinking and talking, and many smiles. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The service here is great!! We were well taken care of and the food arrived in a timely manner. It was hot and fresh, and ready to eat. We ordered the fettuccine with meat sauce, bruschetta, and a sausage pizza. Everything was delicious! For dessert we had a slice of cheesecake and a tiramisu. Both were great, and left us wanting more! When the bill arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that it was only $42. I wish I had visited this place at the start of our trip, we would have dined here almost every night!!

Suddenly her face brightens. "Si" she says, laughs and welcomes my group in. The effort is appreciated. So begins one of the most memorable meals in Roma. Note: This is the "Angry Cousin" trattoria featured on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Rome. Difficult to find (go by taxi). Very rustic and austere bordering on old BUT oh, such incredible pasta. Carbonara, Carbonara fiori di zucca, amatriciana How can dishes made of such few ingredients taste so incredible. Once you try them you will NEVER be able to eat the American counterparts. The carbonara with its concentrated egg flavor blends perfectly with the earthy pecorino cheese and oil of the guanciale creating a complex creamy flavor that goes on and on. Add the zucchini flowers for the green, herbaceous sweetness. The rustic amatriciana with the extracted tomato sauce, perfect. Other dishes worth mention; the braised tripe, braised oxtail, Tortino di carciofo (artichoke pie). Perfectly cooked and delicious. Almost all the reviews posted by Romans on yelp and that "other review site" say the price is very high. About €35 per person inclusive of the house wine. Note: the house wine matches the simple, flavorful food but is overly simple for most connoisseurs. Is it worth seeking out? Definitely. Just remember, you're a guest, not a customer. Don't be a snob. Pour your own water and wine. Don't complain, Don't waste food. Unlike America, regardless if you paid for the food, Italians view not finishing everything you are served as wasteful. Tip: do not eat the bread when it is brought to the table Use it only to mop up the pasta and meat sauces. Watch the face of the server brighten when they see you doing it the right way. Very little English. Booking required.

We got three of the classic Roman dishes - cacio e pepe, carbonara and amatriciana. All executed to perfection. Tastes like something grandma would make. Very reasonably priced at 10-12 euro each. We sat at an outside table and the streets were full of activity and life. Well outside the tourist track and one of my favorite evenings in Rome.

Like all Italian restaurants, they offer the sparkling and still water here. Make sure to call ahead to reserve a table as if they're booked, they probably wont do walk ins. We got the pasta a pepe and the another pasta which was great. The pasta was al dente just the way i like it. For apps, we got the fried tripe and fried anchovies. Both are great if you like chewiness (tripe) and in general, fish! The squashed artichokes didnt feel smashed. They put some sort of garlic seasoning on it which my friends didnt like. I would pass on that. The panna cotta is great. It has a flan like consistency. It's a bit far from the local train stop, but great local spot!

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!

I strongly recommend this be a destination restaurant if you want something typically Roman and local for a tourist visiting. It is a €20 taxi ride from city center.
