Daily special
Lisa F.

It was pouring down rain. I pick this café and was guided to the tables outside, which were covered. It was cool so I kind of wished I was inside. This worked out for me as a rain continue to pour and the outside was not getting any more full, but the inside was packed outside to relax and enjoy the view drawing in my sketchbook. I sat here for three hours as the rain poured down tickets to the museums are hard to get on rainy days this place well until I could go.join that line.

Logo looks great

Very great service and delicious food I love it! Nice owner! I will come back next time

Olive ascolane
Kristy K.

Great place to eat near Vatican City. The olive ascolane was a great way to start. I had the gricia and it ended up being my favorite of the classic Roman pastas. Good service, good food, fair prices, nicely decorated.

Pasta Carbonara (Front), Capricciosa pizza, and Pasta Gricia (back)

What a great spot right outside the Vatican! We popped in here after a failed attempt at checking out the Vatican and it definitely lifted our spirits. We showed up on a Monday around 5pm. It wasn't very busy but we saw good reviews online. We decided to sit outside and it was great. The street was fairly busy but not so much so that it was distracting us. We were greeted pretty quickly. We decided to go with our usual (for Italy). 2 pastas and a pizza. My girlfriend got the Carbonara and I got the Gricia (my first time) as well as the Capricciosa pizza. We decided to get everything together and it wasn't a problem. With 2 bottles of coke we had everything we needed. The pasta was hot and fresh and everything came out amazing. I loved the carbonara and the Gricia was salty and delicious as well. Two very similar pasta dishes. The pizza was amazing and I loved the texture and balance of all the ingredients. Food was hot and well prepared. No complaints here. For dessert, we tried something new. It was something I can't remember the name of but it was good. There wasn't as much nutella as we hoped for but it tasted like a nutella, Graham cracker pie with cream. Very crunchy with cream and a little nutella. Still really good. Overall, this place was a great pick for a lunch or dinner date. Ambiance was relaxed but upscale and classy as well, even though we sat outside. Service was great and our server spoke English very well which was helpful. I would definitely come back in the future.

Cacio é pepe

Best cacio é pepe in Roma! We had a lovely late lunch here after a long day at the Vatican. Very nice staff and quick service. Nice, shady outside area. Good spritzes too!

Spice pasta

The best pasta I found in Rome. The server was so friendly and funny, with great English to help us ordering. Their white sauce pasta with bacon strips literally was killing! Must visit when you come to Vatican City.

Lots of drinks. Air conditioned and clean interior

Hate to be a bummer, but my partner and I were pretty underwhelmed here for our very late lunch (4pm). We came with such high expectations due to glowing online reviews, but the menu was very animal protein-heavy, expensive, and short. If you like oxtail and other decadent meats this might be a great place for you, but not super great for vegetarians or vegans. Many appetizers are fried, which I didn't like from a health standpoint. There was also no pizza on the menu interestingly. I do like shorter menus, but definitely felt a bit limited here. There were a number of vegetarian (indicated on the menu) and perhaps vegan (not sure if the pasta is egg-based) pastas, but mains were red meat based with some fish. Today's fish of the day (16 euros) was grilled salmon and it came with 3 baby potatoes, which were way too dry and unflavorful, and mushy steamed broccoli. Partner ordered the vegetarian ravioli (12 euros) and didn't like it because it felt over-baked, crispy. Portion sizes are so small! Service is wonderful however - English speaking and efficient. Convenient location about 5 mins walk from Vatican museum entrance.

Interesting blended wine
Paul L.

Such a gem in the neighborhood. Interesting discuses and friendly wait staff. We loved the braised cheek, zucchini flowers, trippa and many other delicious dishes.

Fried Artichoke & Chips

Reasonably priced, great food and excellent service. We did a simple meal, the fried artichokes & chips to start, apple & celery salad, pasta carbonara and topped off with house red.

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!

Our kind waiter bright over water, bread and breadsticks. No olive oil, no butter just dry. For our lunch I decided on the cacio e Pepe and Lisa opted for the ragú. Both were delicious. For dessert we were told the owners mom made lemon cake so that was a no brainer. It was fabulous and paired well with espresso. Our waiter also brought us Amaro. It's a licorice like liqueur enjoyed as a digestif. Definitely an acquired taste that reminded me of Aguardiente. Overall the service and staff were exceptional and I would return if ever in a Vatican City again.

We were both satisfied with our selections. Our meals started with bread service, both fresh bread and packaged breadsticks. We didn't receive any olive oil which might be the norm in Italy. For dessert, we opted for a slice of their featured lemon torta. It was enjoyable and we paired it with espresso. Finally, our server offered us a popular digestivi - Amaro. It reminded me of Jägermeister and I wasn't a fan. But I appreciated the hospitality and kindness of his gesture. In summary, we left content and with full bellies. Our server did a great job and the manager or owner acknowledged us and seemed to appreciate our business. All in all, this lunch was a positive experience.
