Octopus
Tri L.

Great Rome Seafood! This small spot near the Campo di Fiore was a great experience! We decided to sit inside for our meal as it was hot outside, and we practically had the restaurant to ourselves. Our waiter spoke good English and handed us the menus. After a brief perusal, we asked for recommendations from the staff and his opinion was on point! We ordered everything he suggested, including the wine, and we had a phenomenal meal. We had the octopus and mussels with toast to start. These were delicious and was enough to enjoy but not make ourselves full for the main courses. The two pasta dishes we got were the spaghetti with clams and linguine with various seafood. Good portion-size and delicious! The seafood was very fresh and yummy. Lastly came the baked salted fish. We got one sea bass and one sea bream along with salad and potatoes. Good flavor and phenomenal with a drizzle of olive oil. We capped it off with a very sweet and refreshing alcoholic lemon sorbetto. Loved the food and the service! Really enjoyable time and would return!

Fish with pistachios

Quiet small place tucked away from the tourist crowds serving excellent seafood dishes. Nice bread basket and pasta dishes. No crowds seats about 30. Quick service and nice decor. Nice wine list and wines by the glass are about €7 They have daily specials and the full menu. Do yourself a favor and leave the pizza pasta joint for tourists and come here The staff are friendly and kind..

This is a surprisingly amazing little restaurant tucked in a quiet little street! I'm so glad we stopped by and gave it a try! Everything is exceptional! We'll definitely come back before we leave Rome.

Amazing dishes !!!! You have to come & try the tagliolini al Nero, the grilled sea bream, the seafood risotto, and their desserts! Lovely and welcoming atmosphere! Tim is great in introducing tasty dishes, would definitely come back again! We highly recommend this place !! Family from Alberta, Canada

Loved everything about this restaurant. The food was amazing. From the appetizers, to the pasta, to the dessert. The fried seafood was light and crisp. Didn't leave you feeling gross. The seafood pasta was exceptional. The server was also amazing and so fun to speak with. Will def go back

Staff was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious, but the table for two was a bit small for course meals, otherwise excellent/benni.

Very good, but overpriced and a little kitschy. We had the fritto misco and the special (sea bass with mussels and clams). Yum.

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.
