    Really Cute little restaurant, in Rome, fairly close to the Vatican. We came here for dinner and I had a great Pasta dish. Hubby had a lasagne. I really enjoyed my food. The ingredients were fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The service was a little slow, so I can only give 4 Stars. However, with alcohol and two pasta dishes and a whole bottle of water, the bill only came out to a little over 30 Euro. Extremely affordable place and cute atmosphere. I do not think, you can go wrong, stopping in.

    This pasta bug was chilling with us as we ate.

    The atmosphere here was pretty friendly. The restaurant was spacious. Restrooms are down the stairs in the back of the restaurant btw. I had the spaghetti carbonara while the hubs had the roast lamb. The carbonara was really good. Perhaps it was the bacon pieces. I suppose since it's a staple dish of the Italians, I wanted to give it a try. I really liked it as the sauce was thick and clung to the pasta versus it being too saucy. There were def good flavors with this dish. The hubs' lamb was pretty massive. It was really chewy and succulent. The large veggie slices (zucchini and carrot) and mini side of salad were the pairings with the lamb. He seemed to have enjoyed it. At the open window facing the sidewalk, you can see an employee creating fresh pasta artwork: flowers & decorative pieces. Even throughout the interior, you can see a couple of these artworks. [ This experience was as of April 2018. Honeymooning at too many eateries and not being able to Yelp about it in time. :/ ]

    We stopped here for lunch while walking back from the Vatican. Its ok but in Rome there are a million choices. I had the lunch special which was caprice salad and any pasta. I picked lasagna only because I had not had any lasagna yet. The caprice salad was good, tomatoes were good, cheese good, 1 basil leaf and some olive oil. The lasagna was rather plain, I expected more spices. No bread came with the lasagna. The cost all together for lunch was just over 30 Euros. Sorry but that's a lot. The water was 3.50 Euros each!

    Spaghetti and meatballs...a standard dish with clearly homemade spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce stole the show though!

    A solid restaurant on the touristy side. Nonetheless, it satisfied my taste buds, particularly the marina sauce. Obviously, such a sauce was delicious at just about every single restaurant we went to in Rome; but, this one stood out, as it had a unique sweetness. Overall, not our favorite place or a place I would say one should go out of their way to eat at when visiting Rome but, not a place I would avoid either.

    This was OK. The food was good. We came here for lunch. What I did not like was they wanted to charge for water. I could not get a straight answer if this was the norm or not.

    Walked by this place and saw the sign for bruschetta + pasta and a drink for 10 euros. As I contemplated going in, the waiter put the sign away. I asked if the offer was over and he said they would still do it. My husband got the caprese salad + pasta and wine for 13 euros! You can't beat that. The food was amazing. The staff was so helpful and kind. Seriously recommend this place!

    Linguini with lobster highly Recommended, kudos to the chef!

    We ordered Linguini lobster (5/5)surely did hit the spot, meatball in sauce and pasta with tomato sauce (3/5) too bland for me but this restaurant has excellent customer service from the staff to the manager. I will surely comeback if I can to explore other menu.

    Caprese Salad to share

    My husband and I caught up with our daughters and their friend there on our visit to Rome. The girls were staying close by and although we were heading out to another place we all noticed such a happy vibe coming off the busy Jazz Cafe. The waiter quickly made a table of 5 for us outside. We each ordered a different meal and they were all fabulous. A mix of pastas, pizza and caprese salads. My daughter ordered the pizza and as a novelty they made the pizza into a love heart :) Our waiter was fun, attentive and chatty and even threw in a couple of rounds of limoncello at the end of our meal!

    My wife and I arrived in Rome pretty tired from several days of travel and the long train ride from Venice to Rome.

    Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

    Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
