Employees are friendly and helpful. Lots of candies, pastas, wine, chocolates, cookies, etc. There is a small cafe at the back of the store as well. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

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.

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!

This was my second trip to Rome, the first in 2019 we stumbled upon this small hole in the wall…read morestreet pasta and fell in love. This time we nearly had it every day, and for 8€ a bowl you can't blame me. Must try is the pappardelle ragu, portions are enough to share for two. And be sure to eat it on the stoop of the restaurant for the full experience! Expect your hot and fresh pasta ready in 3-5 mins on a busy day.

We chose this spot because it had a lot of reviews and maintained a good score. Perks of this spot…read moreare that it's affordable with each pasta bowl costing about €7.50 and the bowls are fairly large. Even though the line is long, you can get your meal quickly because the team works very fast and efficiently. The spot has limited seating so most people eat outside, either standing up or sitting on the curb. Menu is limited to 6 options and everything is handmade, so you can't go wrong here. The noodles have a nice, thick, chewy texture and come with plenty of sauce. Only downside for me was that most dishes didn't come with meat and I usually like to have a little with each meal.

Nearly all of the gourmet food products have been removed, so this absolutely is not a place to go food shopping as there are far better places in Rome to shop for excellent cheese and meats. It is an absolute shame that this wonderful shop has been ruined. All the wonderful employees are gone. What were they thinking??? People from all over Rome and the world used to come here for the most prized food products from around Italy. Now, there is essentially no reason to come here. Shame!!!!

Super fair pricing too; €2.70 for a cappuccino and pastry/cornetto, and €2.90 for a cappuccino and maritozzo.
