    50euro steak
    Alyshia B.

    Husband and I searched all day for a more filling restaurant that is not small plated . We enjoy a nice restaurant with a meal that will fill us up and be tasty . And that is exactly what we got ! Everything we ordered was tasty and the steak we ordered was honestly the best steak I've ever had in my entire life !! It was so mouthwatering! Cooked medium rare and the butter sauce it came with was so delicious!! The black scampi pasta was also great!! My husband also loved the bread that was served (and he's picky about bread haha) . We ordered 1 liter of Prosecco, I believe it was just the house Prosecco but it was still good . Could of been nicer with more sparkle but by the third glass we didn't care haha Service was great and friendly. And as for the ambiance it was allot of couples and family. The inside seating is huge aswell , going down tho the restroom I noticed a beautiful seating area perfect for big groups ! Definitely going back !!! Total spent was around 90euros (including tip )

    We stopped in for a late lunch. Our original waitress left half way through our service. The pizza and pasta were good. They were close to our hotel. The terrace was comfortable.

    Impeccable pizza and Focaccia with a great outside section. Attentive service and a pleasant neighborhood.

    Carbónara
    Jin Y.

    Giving it three stars is generous. While not quite a two - it's a solid meh. Don't come here - make the effort and find somewhere else. They overcooked the calamari and shrimp to the point we couldn't eat it. Then the carbonara was cooked improperly so that I had scrambled eggs and pasta. I could actually taste the egg and it was not pleasant. The tomate sauce was barely memorable including the gnocchi.

    Vegetarian Pizza (added Zucchini flowers & anchovies from the Rustica pizza)

    We came to this restaurant for dinner our first night in Rome, as it was recommended by our Hilton Garden Inn receptionists and it was a close 5min walk. However, it was a bad choice and honestly has almost put me off pasta. We ordered - 1) Vegetarian Pizza (added Zucchini flowers & anchovies from the Rustica pizza) - so it's a €2 charge for anything extra and while we could see the Zucchini flowers on the pizza, couldn't taste the anchovies, but got charged extra anyway. The pizza was....tasteless! The crust was decent but that was all 2) Tagliolini Pasta in Ragu sauce with chestnut - the menu stayed this dish was only available from September to March and I've never had chestnuts in pasta before, so was keen to try it out. Only the pasta arrived and it had beef mince! We specifically had told our waiter we don't eat beef!! What a total waste of our money and shows how inattentive the waiter was. 3) Eggplant Parmigiana - got this as it had been recommended in other Yelp reviews, and they must have had a different dish or the cook has changed hands cause similar to the pizza, this too was tasteless. The cheese was just all over the place, and the tomato sauce was decent, but that was it. When we sat down, the waiter said he'd bring us some bread, which we figured would be on the house. Heck no! when we got the bill, we'd been charged €4. I wish I'd chosen a different place to go eat, cause this wasn't that great! Yelp 256/ 2018

    What was a margarita pizza & Greek salad.

    Clearly a local spot as we were the only non Italian speaking guests. HUGE menu with something for everyone. Very solid food and the staff was polite!

    This gem of an Italian restaurant offers amiable service from multilingual servers and delicious food and drinks. They were very accommodating to our group with all of our special requests (dietary restrictions), questions, and minimal knowledge of Italian.

The bread basket was delicious served warm with amazing crust. The pasta was a tad undercooked but was the best tasting sauce ever. The melon sauce entirely new and never seen of heard of before. They took "summer melon" which I was told was cantaloupe. It was cut into 1/8 inch teeny tiny cubes and simmered for a long time until very soft and the sweetness a little washed out. It was sooo good. The braised beef was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delectable and the sides were great. The mozzarella and tomato was amazing too. Perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes were conscientiously sliced. 1000% suggest this restaurant

    Our first meal in Rome was here, and I'm so glad it was here. We arrived on Christmas Eve and…read morewanted a good meal. Our hotel manager had suggested another restaurant, but I was apprehensive to try, but did later, more on that restaurant review in it's own post. I rather did what I should have done throughout the trip to, which is to search google for local reviews. This tactic I found to be much better than to trust American reviews for restaurants to visit from Youtube or even here, just because the American touristy taste tends to favor bland or Olive Garden style pseudo Italian. The real Italian taste is much different and something one needs to develop. I was familiar with European Italian food, as I had said before in other reviews that Mexico has better Italian food outside of Italy. Additionally, the good restaurants here in Italy do not open before 7 PM. If it does or if someone that looks foreign to Italy is outside trying to lure you in, it's a tourist restaurant with iffy flavor. At this restaurant my husband had the Lobster pasta and I had the spinach/ricotta ravioli, and we both were beyond satisfied. We also had the artichoke as an appetizer, and trusted the waiter with his suggestion for a bottle of wine. He must have been some genius because the wine went well with our meal. The ambience was cozy and very family oriented, however, the rain outside made it romantic for us. Another key point for this restaurant and it traditional flare was that they brought out the olive oil and red vinegar for our salad and of course olive oil for our wonderful home-made bread. I'm so glad we chose this place for those of us Americans who understand culinary cuisine.

I ordered their Tonnarello Amatriciana, a tomato based pasta dish with bacon, cheese, and pepper. It was delicious and just the right amount of food for me. The design of Tonnarello noodles worked well with this type of dish. A sample of my wife's tiramisu was a nice ending. We agreed this was a good choice for dinner.

    Super pizza place with a lot of other great stuff on the menu…read more I looked with envy at the other tables who were enjoying spectacular plates of spaghetti with mussels. * * * That said, my pizza was a grand slam home run. Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

    It was a positive Yelp review that lured us to choose this restaurant for our first night meal…read moreafter traveling from USA. So, I felt that I owed a review of my own in appreciation. Being new to Rome, and having walked 20k steps on our first day, there are an abundance of options a for dining. We wanted something classically Rome nearby to our hotel. The Yelp review of this restaurant was sufficiently positive to entice us. Being American, we appreciate the earlier-than-customary dining options. We arrived at 6pm without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is intimate and very well staffed. The wood fire oven is front-and-center and the fresh mozzarella is prominent in display. We ordered a bottle of wine ... all options are very fairly priced. This is nice. We started with a Greek salad to share. It was unlike any American Greek salad ... and a really delight. It is early June but the tomatoes and peppers were ripe and crisp and really fresh. My wife ordered the Marguerite pizza; I opted for the Gorgonzola pizza (the effusive review on Yelp was compelling). Both were solid. We appreciate the thin crust and the crisp edged. The center of both, however, was doughy and somewhat undercooked. Looking around ... the restaurant was over 50% full even at this early hour. Most were Americans. We saw a good number of diners with pasta dishes ... and none were left unfinished. Sadly, we don't have any comparisons to weigh (yet). So, I cannot affirm any "best of" citations, it this is certainly a solid trattoria/pizzeria. The staff are attentive and the food served hot and fresh.
