It may be easy to miss up a small driveway, but once you find it it's like walking into someone's kitchen. The host was friendly and accommodating and speaks English. We had the mixed vegetable plate as well as chicken tibs. I was disappointed that they were out of Doro Wot because I like spice and this was 7/8 o'clock so get there early if that's what you're looking for. The lentil dishes were especially good but I missed the heat that I'm used to at home. I hear that Europeans are less tolerant of spucybso perhaps Mesob tones it down for their usual customers. Be forewarned: the restaurant switched to CASH ONLY about a week ago according to the proprietor which would have been nice to know before I pulled out my credit card. All in all, I would definitely return on my next trip to Rome.

I…read morethink during our holiday we had enough of pasta and sometimes flavorless food so this was a welcome change. It was spicy but not horribly hot. The space was engulfed with African artifacts all around the restaurant. You just wanted to go around and touch or take pictures. It was picture perfect. It does take some time to get your meal but upon arrival, your food is made to order and I can accept that. Its plentiful to allow multiple plates to share with your group. The wine was impeccable. This is right next to a bar Julius Caesar (they don't have bar food). So go have a good meal relax before going next door to enjoy the happy hour and music.

They usually take reservations only; but you can sometimes get lucky (like we did as a table for two) by waiting before they opened for a walk-in spot. We did have to get there before their official 6pm dinner time opening and wait 45 min to get a seating time on a weekday (a line was already forming prior to 6pm), but it was well worth it. (Plus it was nicely air conditioned! Which was rare in center city Rome) Food wise, we got their zucchini soup, braised duck with plums, carbonara, and tiramisu. My husband really enjoyed the braised duck, and I ordered the carbonara, which was especially delicious -- it was a perfect pasta texture, nice and eggy, with small bits of crispy fried pork mixed in! It was so so good. I wish we could've tried more pastas here!! They looked so simple but tasted incredible. Servers were also friendly and attentive!

We split a salad that was big enough for a meal, my wife had the bolognese, and I had the steak. It was super rare, but as I cut into it, I would lay it onto the stone to allow it to cook a bit more. I like it on the lean side of medium rare and my wife prefers a bit more. This was perfect for us to both enjoy it the way we like. Her pasta was excellent as well and we enjoyed sharing the meal. A bottle of wine topped off a great dinner. The weather was rainy so we opted to sit inside and it was warm and welcoming. Our waiter was helpful with our choices and we enjoyed his observations. The only thing I can say that was off, was the older woman who was paying her bill before me was pressured into leaving a tip ( service charge, is what he said). I was prepared for that but was not asked to tip. Great meal, we enjoyed it immensely, but the service charge that was scammed out of the 70+ year old lady in front of me kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. I was going to tip a few euros because we enjoyed ourselves so much, but decided not to because of the way it was presented to the party before us.

We had a calzone and traditional spaghetti and both were delicious. I don't even know how to describe the calzone. It was unlike anything I've had before but SO good. I literally cleaned my plate with the last of the breading from it. The owner/chef was Luca. He was upset with the host because he had burned the plastic on the outdoor tent as he had placed a heater too close to it. To be honest, he seemed like a bit of a jerk, but his food was freaking delicious.
