    Tiramisu
    Kady B.

    THIS is the place we've been looking for all week. The service was perfect - the waiter even took the time to explain some of the more complex specials. The bread was dense and tasty, perfect for getting that last bit of sauce. Grilled octopus app was delectable. Very tender, very flavorful. The lasagna was perfect, as was the carbonara. It was easily the best meal we've had in this area and in the city overall. Mmm the tiramisu....get the tiramisu.

    Free wifi - check Functional air conditioning - check Attentive wait staff- check Friendly owner - check Scrumptious food - check We got a winner ! Ok so all those positives aside, its a nice restaurant on a rather busy street in the Vatican/Rienzso area. I was out wined so I opted for some craft beer and that was not common for Rome. Man have I been missin out, they sure had some good beer. I was annoyed at my self for not havign found out earlier! Several bottles later, we order some a cheese plate and as we went to town on it they brought us some complimentary bruschettas ! Sweet. That lasted about 10 seconds - god it was good ! I really dont remember lunch, but I recollect it being very very satisfied and they also had a 15 Euro lunch special. The food was reasonably priced, and the service really stood out and was just excellent. They even helped me find a place to get football jerseys (for souvenirs ) and gave real neat directions to get there. Loved it ! I should try dinner sometime !

    What a great find! We looked for a nearby restaurant with great reviews and found this charming restaurant. Alberto, our server, was adorable and truly knew the meaning of customer service. Would love to take him to the US and have him train servers there. The food was delicious, the mango salad so yummy. The atmosphere so charming and everything reasonably priced. Definitely will return.

    I was worried that, as a celiac, I wouldn't be able to eat anything in Italy-- the Mecca of pasta-- but this restaurant allowed me to have an authentic Italian experience without any worries. The waiter spoke clear English and told me anything (except for eggplant Parmesan) could be made gluten free. I went for the linguine and prawns/octopus/mussels dish and was amazed how delicious the meal was! It was really wonderful from start to finish. I recommend coming if you are gluten free!!!

    Mixed fish plate

    Amazing staff and excellent food!! The staff was friendly and polite and each dish was fresh and light. A delightful, delicious experience!

    Beef with potatoes

    It was difficult to find a good place around the Vatican area just because it's so touristy and full of places that are not good- but this was a winner! We stopped by for a late dinner. Staff was welcoming and friendly. We ordered some chicken with curry sauce and beef pieces with potatoes! We even ordered an extra side of their potatoes (my favorite). Food was good and tasty. We looked around and others had ordered pasta dishes and steak, and some were doing the full 4-5 course meal... All looked good. Prices were around 12-20 per dish. The higher being if you wanted steak.

    Eggplant Parmesan
    H P.

    Super friendly staff. Free quick wifi (faster than our hotel). Finally something besides pasta!! Eggplant Parmesan was good. Curry chicken was good. The breaded beef was okay. I just didn't like the lady who came to take the money really quick and didn't give me change back.

    Gnocchi
    Jennifer D.

    We arrived in Rome from Seattle, WA around noon and took a walking tour so we wouldn't fall asleep. On our way back to the apartment my kids (ages 12 and 10) and I were looking for a place to eat dinner and saw this place. It looked nice from the outside, so we went in. We did not have a reservation and were not well-dressed, and after a moment's hesitation on their part they seated us. The food was excellent, and so far is the best I have had in the city. Both kids got the gnocchi, and it was the best gnocchi any on us have ever had. My son proclaimed that he was never eating gnocchi in the states again, and I would have to agree. My rigatoni carbonara with artichokes was amazing. We will be back!

    This was a quest for Gluten Free options besides no bread. The food was prepared with GF bread and was delicious. There staff was friendly, and attentive to our needs. All was perfect until we had an allergic reaction to the mussels, not their cooking, but due to an unknown food allergy. The opener actually ran to the pharmacy to get the appropriate remedy. Where else would that happen that they worried more about the patron than place. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and eat here........

    Delicious meal from beginning to end. Didn't have many tables when we were there but by the time we left it started getting packed. Had started with the grilled octopus, I had the special which was the prawn fettuccine, boyfriend had the pumpkin ravioli , finished with the tiramisu and cheesecake. Better than expected since it was a completely empty restaurant. So far best place we had in Rome.

    Steve G.

    Splendid stop near the Vatican for a relaxing lunch. Food was fantastic! Good spices. Just enough off the main tourist path to feel like a secret. Soothing music and attentive staff. Loved the Gnocchi and sea bass! Salmon was a little fishy for one of us. Charming overall.

    Wonderful discovery! This restaurant is busy even on a weeknight at 22:30. Prompt service, delicious dishes and excellent wines at a fair price. I had pasta with a cream sauce, bacon, spinach and saffron. For dessert I had the tiramisu. It may be the best tiramisu I have ever tasted. Perfectly powdered with coco and fluffy texture. Definitely try this place. You will not regret it.

    This place was great. It is mostly pasta which is great but in that area of town hard to beat the atmosphere made it a 5 star experience.

    A pretty good lunch…read more We were being tourists when it was time for lunch. Our first choice had a table for us but no chairs. We waited a bit but when no four legged solution arrived, we went searching again and found Arancio d'Oro. They were happy to see us and our smiling server did a nice job, at least until it was time for the bill. That went too slow, the opinion of an American tourist who still can't accept the end game for a meal is more likely than not to drag on. My wife declined my wish to have yet another pizza in Rome, so I settled on Rigatoni alla carbonara. In truth it was just ok to me, al dente just seems like another word for undercooked. We left full and ready for an afternoon of doing even more stuff.

    This was our go to place in Roma Italy. We went here three times. Each time we had the fried…read moresardines which were absolutely outstanding. think appetizers beer and wine and such satisfying freshness that the pallet says "my I could stay here for an hour or two. " Then order the fresh focaccia for three euros which was amazing. The pizza was outstanding, but the prepared foods are awesome. Best meatballs with Parmesan mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life, and my wife agreed. We could eat a gallon of those potatoes. I also had the fried cod which was very good, and my wife had A sampling of a few different dishes. As for desserts hold on. You gotta hear this. The first time we got the chocolate Panna Cotta and the texture, coolness and sweetness on the tongue was remarkable, never having tasted anything quite so unique. A must try. One of the next nights we got the creme caramel which was absolutely outstanding. The lightest texture with powerful Caramell flavor. After speaking with the owner it turns out there are two, one cooks the other handles front of the house. They own three restaurants and the wife with her little poodle hangs out in the front. The decorations are awesome, The bathrooms clean and tiled beautifully. Both beer and wine selections are excellent. This is off the beaten path but only a block and a half from Augustus' mausoleum. The prices are excellent, the service outstanding, the quality of food fantastic and you do not need a reservation. Did you hear me? A five-star restaurant, with pizza, great desserts, great setting, And you don't need a reservation. Helloooo!

    4.4 stars. Love this…read morerestaurant. Location was a bit hard to find. However, service is really good. They move tables outside for us. Everyone is courteous and friendly. Server speak food English and describe each dish we order and explain. When the food arrives, we were surprise with the good quality. Pizza is very crispy. 10€ -4.5 stars- Dough is very different, not like bread, more like crackers. Lots of cheese and meat. Two of us could have order that pizza and feel full. We have salmon carpaccio 10€ -4.2 Stars- and it was a big plate. It is smoke salmon with lemons. Salad with anchovies, tuna and roast pepper were tasty too. 12€ -4.2 stars- A bit too much olive oil. Sparking water 2.5€. No cover charge, like other restaurants in Rome. Overall the drinks at this restaurant is on high side but food quality and food portion is great value. Extra discount from The Fork attract us to this restaurant and it was a good find! They have fresh juice too but we ate tiramisu before dinner so we could eat more sweets.
