It was clear from the moment that we arrived that just about everything had changed; the staff, the management, the ambiance, and most of all the menu. Gone was the Sardinian family, the raffish atmoshere, and the extensive and superb seafood menu. Through the gracious staff tried to accommodate us, and assure us that the now weighty menu would satisfy, and indeed some dishes were quite delicious, especially the Insalata di Mare and the Spaghetti alla Vernaccia. The Rombo con Patate of last year (see photo) was nothing short of a disaster. I will not describe it further. We left the plate, got our bill and took our car back to our hotel. The one constant in life is that everything changes, and I guess that's true here too. Peccato...

What a hidden gem in Rome!…read more Went here about a year ago and still think about this meal to this day. My party stayed here a long time, and the restaurant eventually filled up (we got there early for dinner). The break down of what my party ordered: Pane (bread) x2 - €2 - didn't really order this, it was just brought out at the start of the meal. Sauté Di Cozze (mussels sauté) - €10 - not a huge mussels fan, but I ate a couple. Looked really good, so I'm sure if you like mussels you would enjoy this dish. Risotto alla crema di scampi (risotto with scampi cream) - €12 - the scampi cream really stood out in this dish. I'm a big fan of risotto so this dish was still pretty good, but I personally don't care for scampi cream. Spaghetti alle carbonara (pasta with beaten eggs, bacon, pecorino cheese) - €10 - I've had carbonara before this (and have even made it myself at home), but I've never had carbonara as good as this. Usually I get sick of cream sauces on pasta pretty quickly, but I could eat their carbonara all day everyday. Definitely my favorite dish of the evening. - the pasta was the most al dente pasta I've had in my whole time in Italy. Spigola alla vernaccia (sea bass, olives, vernaccia wine, cherry tomato) - €15 - solid dish, didn't stand out. Panna cotta della casa (homemade panna cotta) - €5 - classic panna cotta, nothing special but still a great way to finish off the meal. To drink: 1/2 liter of wine - €7 - delicious for a wine and light, got me tipsy 1 liter of water - €2.50 Limoncello on the house! - the staff was very generous with their limoncello. It made the experience at this restaurant even better than it already was! Although there were a lot of dishes that weren't to my liking, it was more because I'm not a fan of the raw ingredient rather than the restaurant preparing them poorly. Since the carbonara really changed my life, the alcohol was generous, and the staff was amazing, I still give this restaurant five stars. I would definitely come back here again and recommend it to others.

I was surprised when I read the Yelp reviews that a few of my awesome Yelpers also dined here too and gave high marks so I was very excited to give them a try. After ordering some tasty vino we went the Focaccia with mozzarella, black truffle with a truffle cream sauce. The Focaccia was lite and a thin crust. Topped with some delicious mozzarella and black truffle made this appetizer and home run choice. After the Focaccia I decided to stay on theme and went with the Fettuccine al tartufo nero e porcini (fettuccine black truffle & porcini mushrooms). Holy cow, a delicious culinary delight. Some other hits of the table included the beef fillet with green pepper sauce & Digione mustard. Astice grigliato, verdure al vapore e maionese alla curcuma (Grilled lobster with steamed veggies in a mayonnaise turmeric sauce and a Lasagna, tartufo nero, funghi, mozzarella e grana (lasagna with blach truffle, mushrooms, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese) All were just amazing. Impeccable service and an old world Italian charm decor made this a delightful experience.

**WARNING**. Dine here at your own peril!…read more I don't usually write reviews but this one forced me. It's the worst restaurant I ever ate in Italy (out of dozens I've been to). Me and my girlfriend were walking back from the Collesium and decided to stop here for dinner. The wait to sit down was not long but there were too many issues after that and the best way to describe it is with bullets points. - It took 90 minutes from the time we sat down to getting our food. I undertand that this is a tourity area and things get busy, but during all this time waiting there was no check-in by the staff to see if we needed more drinks or water. - Salad was ordered and got to our table 60 minutes in, "dry" with no dressing or even basix olive oil. Eventually we asked for some oil/vinegar and we were charged extra for it. - Got a glass of wine and water was evidently added to it. My girlfriend also thought it tasted watered down. I should've complained but at that point I was already wanting to eat and just leave. - Food eventually got to us cold and stale. I got the Tagliata de Manzo and it must be the most gammy meat I ever ate. For a good comparison, imagine chewing bubble gum with bloody meat flavor. - The nail in the coffin was when I tried to go to the bathroom and the server inside kicked me out (I was sitting outside). Extremely rude and aggressive. Granted there may be lots of tourist just trying to use the facilities but the lack of awareness and willingness to check if I was customer was baffling. I ended up not going to the bathroom and just asked to the bill as I was done dealing with the BS. Note that this was also not cheap. The bill landed at 80 euros for basically a lettuce and tomato salad, two mediocre meals, one glass of watered down wine and an extra touch of disrespect for desert. NOT RECOMMENDED! Avoid at all costs. EDIT - We also got food poisoning from this place. Ruined our vacation. It's was a gift that kept on giving!
