We were tired from walking all day at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, so just wanted to take it easy with pizza, pasta, and wine for an early dinner.

You'll enjoy their family-style hospitality, hear stories that bring the region to life, and experience the warmth that makes Italy so special. The food is outstanding, but don't stop there--take in the culture, the history, and the flavors that have been passed down through generations. Every dish feels authentic, every recommendation is made with pride, and every moment feels like you're part of the family. A truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Italy.

Heard that the best place to try carbonara was in Rome, and it was incredibly delicious here - creamy, fresh, and so flavorful. Far surpassed any carbonara I have ever had before. Also tried their cacio e pepe, which was also the best we ever had. (And they were also the best of anywhere else on our trip to Italy!). They don't take reservations here - you just stand in line and wait for your table to be available. We only waited about 20 minutes, and we took a table outside. Overall, highly recommend stopping by for some delicious pasta when in Rome.

Everything is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor, and the service is always amazing. The oxtail is absolutely incredible, it's the kind of dish that makes your eyes roll to the back of your head. So, so yummy! And the carbonara!!! Oh my. Easily one of the best I've ever had. When I told our server how much I loved it, she reminded me, "It's the best in the world!" After tasting it, I can't argue with her! If you're in Italy and looking for an unforgettable Roman meal, go here! You won't regret it.

One reason the food is a bit atypical when compared to other restaurants in the tourist areas of Rome - the food is prepared in the classic Neapolitan style.

I guess the take home is this - great place with great food, impeccably professional service, a clean/hospitable environment, and fantastic pricing. What more are you looking for?!
