    This restaurant feels like you're at your grandparents house. The smells the warmth and most…read moreimportant the food. This took me back to my child hood spending time at my great grandmothers house and her cooking for us. We started with the meatballs and the bruschetta, the cook also brought us some spinach filled puff pastries that were good also. The meatballs were perfectly cooked, had a great sauce good amount too. I only ate the traditional tomato bruschetta and the fresh tomatoes and the fresh toasted bread with the salt and the olive oil were a perfect match, the other bruschetta was an olive tapenade and some sort of cheese, not a huge fan of olive tapenade so I didn't eat it but my wife and our friend said it was good. I ordered the carbonara, and I will say that it was the best we'd had on our trip and we were in Italy for 9 days, most places put too much egg yolk, over powering the other flavors this was just right perfect amount of cheese and the Speck(bacon) was fried perfectly and although I've heard that al dente pasta is the way to go I prefer mine done and not so al dente and so does this chef as the Tonnarelli was perfect! We also shared a beef filet which was seasoned perfect just a little salt and pepper cooked medium rare! My wife had the lemon crepe. I had one bite and it was great, my wife loved it as well. For drinks my wife had Preseco and our friend had a glass of house red which they enjoyed. I had a coke and my daughter had a sprite, when trying to explain sprite to the cook they also gave us an Italian Lemon soda which we all shred and it was refreshing and delicious. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake, the apple strudel and the wine cookies. The strudel was fluffy slight crispy and had a caramel apple filling! Then only thing wrong was I got too excited and burnt my tongue. The chocolate cake was perfect, six little pieces freshly made. The cookies were good, little hard but we dipped them in our cappuccino's. If you're in Tivoli please stop by and get a great meal!

    Came here for lunch and decided to treat myself to the tasting menu (chose the menu with the fish…read moredishes). I have to say - I am surprised by the huge portion sizes! The tasting menu definitely seemed like a meal for two people! The waitstaff was super kind and unbelievably friendly. I was traveling and exploring Tivoli on my own, so it was nice to have a welcoming waitstaff. Here are my thoughts of each menu item: Trionfo di mare: 4.5/5 - enjoyed the assortment of fish! One of them was super fishy, and some pieces weren't super tender, but still tasty overall Scialatielli con ragu di spigola e datterini: 4/5 - plenty of clams, and the sauce had a strong clam taste. Would be nice if the sauce had some flavors other than clam flavor (maybe some herbs would help) Turbante di spigola con verdura croccanti: 4/5 - beautiful presentation. Fish could be more tender. The crunchy vegetables pieces were so tasty Pastiera napoletana - 3.5/5 - not my favorite type of dessert (obviously prefer chocolate), but it had a nice, cold texture. Missing some flavor

    I had a day trip to see the Tivoli Fountains. I had a driver and a tour escort and told them I…read morewould like to have lunch with them. Rossella found this hidden gem. For the 3 of us with 3 bottles of sparkling water, 3 pastas dishes, an starter and 2 coffees and desserts, the bill was $70 euros. Delicious and a great service. I know in Italy people do not expect tips, I gave him 10euros and was so happy! The sun was out and having our meal outside was very enjoyable. Great decor!
