    An incredible dinner to remember right in the heart of Trastevere. We came on a warm summer night and the area was full of ambiance, energy, and atmosphere. The small candle lit tables here make it a romantic escape away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas of Rome. The owners are extremely attentive, polite, and even more impressive appeared to speak 4 or 5 languages, treating each guest with personalized service surely to make their dinner a positive memory. We shared caprese salad, bruschette, and a couple glasses of wine. I ordered carbonara and my girlfriend ordered cacio e Pepe, all of which was amazing. Delicious, rich, fresh, and very affordable. We would definitely come back here again if ever in Rome again!

    One charming spot in Trastevere. It's tucked away on a quiet street and offers delicious Roman cuisine with great service. Must try!

    Don't stand around for a couple of hours for the place around the corner, come here. Food was superb - fresh unique Roman and regional dishes, the service was attentive without being rushed, and being just off the main street was great (no cars barrelling past). We got there at 7 and easily got a table for two outside, but it did fill up quickly.

    We were so lucky to have found this place. Food is amazing and the service is exceptional. Highly recommend eating at this place. Romantic and intimate ambiance.

    Carbonara with Sea Bass rolls

    Unassuming, cute, quaint, affordable and really good. We did not have reservations but since we were just 2, it was no problem getting a table. Family run, super nice people and a great experience. The location, like many in Trastevere, is tucked away on a skinny street but not difficult to find. We had the Carbonara, Sea Bass rolls and the Veal strips with rocket and cherry tomatoes. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the ham was not too sally. Not having Carbonara prior, cant compare it but was very yummy. The sea bass rolls were quite creative, very light and quite nice. The veal was the best of the three dishes, tender, tasty with a really tasty sauce. The prices were really good for the quality which made the 5 star rating easy.

    Foods good and the two owners are friendly. It's a cute place on a little side street in Trastevere.

    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!
