    Food Good Service Excellent Ambiance Nothing Special...Waited over an hour for a table I guess because it's in a hip neighborhood and has cheap eats. With so many other options out there- once was enough. Loved our waiter though- he was more charming than the food.

    Tortellini with ragú
    Marlene F.

    I was searching for this place for lunch as I walked through the alleys of Trastevere! Got lucky with the solo seating and 2 other solo diners were near me and we all chatted and ate. Everything was amazing! The seafood salad was a large portion and fresh! The tortellini with ragú was so yummy I ate the rest cold in the hotel! And of course Tony the owner was a sweetheart. A must go to if in the area. A mangiare!

    Me with my 3 children.

    The line was long but we got in and the Food & Service was excellent!!! My son ended up knowing a family friend of the owners who is in a photo on the wall of the restaurant. 100% Recommend!!!

    Pistachio Cake!
    Trace V.

    Called and made a reservation in advance due to the many positive Trip Advisor reviews. Right in the heart of Trastevere, this busy place was packed on a recent Saturday night. Inside and outside tables -- we sat inside and it was a bit tight as many restaurants are. Service was good -- but this is not the place for a long, relaxing two hour meal as they keep it moving. We loved the "Roman Chicken" (we call it chicken cacciatori in the US), the Mussels, salad, and pistachio cake also good. Only "miss" was the gnocchi with tomato sauce (not soft and pillowy) but we'd still come back here. Alex our waiter is a real character.

    Food, service, drinks, price, dessert... AMAZING! Our favorite meal in Rome by far. There was a bit of a wait but so worth it! The pasta was perfection and the prices were amazing. Would definitely go back and highly recommend you order the tiramisu.

    Salad
    Kevin M.

    This place had the most amazing food. The staff was falling over themselves to serve us. Admittedly the salad was just ok. I wanted something fresh and the arugula was overwhelmingly peppery. I had the chicken Parmesan which may have been the best I have ever had. Thin slices of chicken with a lightly battered outside. Crusted cheese all around the edges. Outstanding! Took a bite of the ziti. It had an amazing bite to it. Definitely recommend either dish. You can eat in or out. It is a bit cramped and if you eat outside people may be eying your meal while they wait to be seated. I say worth the wait.

    This restaurant was located right outside of my air bnb and I'm glad I decided to dine because it was really good. Their carbonara pasta was simply amazing and flavorful. The lamb was cooked beautifully! I was really surprised at the portion size for such a reasonable price. These plates are shareable, or at least that's what happened with the people I dined with lol...the food was too good we had to sample it all. Recommend

    A friend recommended this place when they heard we were coming to Rome and I am so glad she did. In the cutest area to walk around, and once you walk in the service is on point! Very kind & even gave us a free dessert at the end. We ordered a house red wine, water, truffle ravioli, spaghetti carbonara, and the veal dish with gorgonzola sauce and it was all delicious! If we went back and had to choose 1 dish it would hands down be the truffle ravioli, but you won't be disappointed with any dish you order.

    Absolutely amazing food and even more amazing service!! A sweet small business that is run by family and friends. The owners remembered me and my friends the second time we came in and we got free wine and tiramisu!! The sweetest people and truly authentic delicious food for the price. Please come here and you'll be treated like family!!! Best restaurant in Trastevere Much love for Tony and Alex!!

    We really like the food here so we went twice in our 5 days stay. This is my 2nd review. We loved the carbonara and lasagna so we got them again, just as good as the first time. This time we also got the salmon which was super delicious! It comes with rosemary potatoes that are really good! I definitely recommend this place! I will say that their service is prompt but not super friendly (but not rude) and they do make you feel a bit rushed to be seated/order. I don't need touchy feely service so this didn't matter to me, I'm there for the food.

    The food was amazing and Tony and his staff deliver phenomenal service! It was a recommendation from a friend.

    Tony being the best restaurant owner ever!

    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!
