    Bucatini alla Americana- recommended by the server and it was fantastic
    Kristen M.

    Really enjoyed this place. It had a short line of 10 pp deep when we arrived at 7:45 pm. They have tables inside and outside. We were tucked into a cozy corner of the basement which had air conditioning. Service was superb. She was pleasant, offered good food suggestions and attentive. All salads are entrees, so we shared it. It was so fresh and delicious with olive oil and balsamic. The focaccia was good, but not the best I've had. I had bucatini alla Americana which was recommended by the server. So delicious. A hollow spaghetti noodle with red sauce, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Very tasty. The basement was cozy and tucked away from all the noise and activity. They bring limoncello with the bill. On our way out, the bartender gave us a second shot. Really enjoyable staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    Focaccia and caprese salad

    Seeing as this place has 5 stars on Yelp and Trip Advisor with thousands of reviews, I had high hopes for our dinner here. The restaurant itself is very cute and it's in a great location. The food wasn't bad, it was just pretty average and I'm not sure I understand the hype. I ordered the carbonara after reading positive Yelp reviews about it and I really wasn't impressed. The bacon was the most flavorful part, but otherwise, the dish's flavors sort of fell flat. That said, we ordered the focaccia and the caprese salad as appetizers and I have to admit that it was (by far) the best focaccia we had during our trip to Italy. I had a limoncello spritz to drink, which was tasty and not something I saw on a lot of other restaurant menus while in Rome. Maybe we just caught Mimi e Coco on a bad day, but I wasn't super impressed overall.

    Carbonara - delicious!
    Christine N.

    First Impressions: arrived at 7:30pm after some apertivos (but starving as we landed late afternoon and missed lunch hours) and was surprised to find a queue of people waiting to be seated, as dinner is usually served late (typically 9pm-11pm) in Italy. Loved the ambiance and outdoor seating, but as the heat and humidity hadn't dissipated even at 7:30pm with the sun having gone down, we opted for indoor seating. We were seated in the lower floors, which had AC (main dining floors has fan/AC but it was open to the street so was a bit warmer mixing with outdoor air). I usually like outdoor seating in Europe, but as we were still jet lagged and hungry, being seated in the lower (cellar?) floors we were able to enjoy our food within a pleasant air conditioned room with other diners and not compete with outside street noises. The Noms: seriously, delicious. Was hard to top out first meal in Rome... it was so good. I had the carbonara, which they are known for: creamy and rich and the guanciale was so crisp and succulent and lent a fatty richness to the meal. Think bacon but leveled up to 10000x. The portion was perfect and even though I was full, I wished for a second stomach so I could relive that meal. My husband had the lasagne (which they are also known for)... I've never been a big lasagna person, but HELLO this is the best lasagna I've ever had. Ever! It was so creamy and melt in your mouth, the sauce is robust and flavorful, but the pasta remained Al dente... like, HOW? Usually lasagna pasta is a mushy and over cooked in the baking process but holy eff this was AMAZING. I think I ate a full third of my husband's meal. We also had a focaccia bread with mozzarella and mortadella to add to the meal and it was good. Bread was thin and crispy yet chewy. I enjoyed it. In Conclusion: Yes, yes, YES! Go here! So delicious! Keep in mind there's also a location in Rome's city center but I loved the ambiance of Trastevere. Wish I could have gone back for another meal!

    Probably one of our favorite meals of a week and a half in Rome the pasta was amazing. The carbonara was probably one of the best I ever had try the lasagna and of course they had different types of spritz amazing on a hot day or a good way to end a trip they had the best of everything for your last meal.

    We stopped here on a whim & are so glad we did! The staff is friendly, the drinks were superb & the vibes are exactly what we needed on this HOT August afternoon. We absolutely recommend if you're in the Trastevere area!

    Cacio e Pepe
    Frances P.

    Very good pasta!!! Better than any pasta in the us but not the best in Italy. I would definitely go here again the service is relaxed.

    The bread was so freaking good!!! Lasagna was excellent too.
    Ulgonda K.

    Finally!!!! Food inside downtown Rome is awful. This place is worth the cab ride. It was so delicious from start to finish. The vibe of the place is excellent and they have really yummy, strong drinks! Highly recommend giving them a try.

    Good casual food, reasonable drink list, convenient location with lots of shops within walking distance, and great service.

    This was my first restaurant experience straight off the plane in Rome & it was lovely. Found this place based off a blog and it was such a great spot. The servers were so kind and welcoming to me and my sister & the ambience was so beautiful. Great spot to walk around, people watch, get a drink, and enjoy Trastevere! Laura was SO kind and she brought us limoncello and biscotti to enjoy since we had told her this was our first time ever in Rome. This place is a gem and will be dreaming of returning here forever.

    This place was recommended by our AirBnB host. When we got there at 7pm, almost everyone were having aperitivo. We opted to have the Caprese salad followed by Ravioli and Cacio e Pepe. Nicol and Eva were so attentive at taking care of us. This was service at its best! We really appreciated the limoncello shots after dinner. The Caprese salad was fresh and a great prelude to our meals. I have been craving for Cacio e Pepe and this didn't disappoint! There were lines of patrons waiting to sit down. This location at Trastevere was really quaint and romantic!

    Good pasta amatriciana and cold peroni. The service was good as well. If you sit outside you'll enjoy the trast ambiance.

    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!
