With a minimum amount of tables able to be dined at inside, if you are able to grab a place, then, by all means, do it. My nephew and I enjoy finding these smaller, fine food establishments and this one did not disappoint. This was to be our last lunch in Roma so we joyfully consumed the very tasty mozzarella and ham and the Bruschetta appetizers and then I had my way with an incredible lasagna, where Il Piccolo did not skimp on the meat (as is done is some restaurants). Great meaty and cheesy flavor with a hint of spinach and some other subtle spices. Pure heaven. My nephew had ravioli which must have been great as he did not speak after receiving his plate. Highly recommended -- to one and all

The staff was friendly and, in the typical way of Rome, didn't rush us at all. We sat and read through our Rick Steves' guide book and just enjoyed a good hour of conversation and taking in the sights and sounds around us. You have to walk past a small gauntlet of eateries with waiters or hosts outside encouraging you to come to their restaurant, as is typical in areas where there are many tourists. When we came upon this Enoteca Piccolo no one was doing that here, and no one did during our entire stay. It was quaint and charming and quickly filled up with other Italian-speaking patrons. Since I've now read other reviews about their good wine selection, I'd like to go back to try that, too.

We started with drinks (which were excellent) and shared a meat and cheese platter that hit the spot. I went with the pizza, which was solid nothing mind-blowing, but definitely good quality and satisfying after hours of walking around and sightseeing.

There is a small shaded area that kept the drizzle out. -1/2 L red house wine: (3/5), tasted good and full bodied, but did get a headache afterward which didn't happen for all the other house wines I tried. -Truffle Cacio e Pepe: (3/5), could barely taste the truffle, was only added on as shavings over the dish at the table -Focaccia bread basket (5/5), perfectly seasoned -Suppli (2/5), tasted too breaded/fried -Tiramisu (3/5), solid, nothing special Service was friendly although he didn't speak a lot of English.

We told them that we were in a rush to get to the top of the hill before the sunset and I asked the owner to select a wine for us. He picked the most amazing white wine, opened the bottle for us and put plastic cups in a bag and sent us on our way. He was so accommodating. And the price of the wine was excellent. If you ever go to Rome it's worth a trip to this wine shop to stock up on amazing and reasonably priced wine.

I have never had a carbonara I couldn't eat. This one is only one I took a few bites and never finished. It was very disappointing given it was my first "authentic" pasta in Italy.

Red sauce was good, i took a big bite of the frozen meatball and called the waiter.

Couldn't eat it. - pasta carbanara is acceptable - buttered cheese pasta was acceptable Service was terrible. After mentioning the cold meatball, they gave us the cold shoulder. Didn't proactively check on us, didn't ask if we wanted to order anything else. Have been in italy for weeks, this is was the first all around bad experience

It's right off of Campo de Fiori and it's a nice respite from the pushy restauranteurs and the sometimes loud musicians in the square. It's very low key and a great place to be able to sit and chat and actually hear the other people talk without having to yell. It's almost like you are sitting in a little wine cellar. Shelves of wine adorn the walls so it's very cozy. It would be a great place to bring a date for sure. On our most recent visit, the gentleman that served us was especially helpful and welcoming. We asked about the various food and wine offerings and after we settled on a cheese board, the gentleman proceeded to suggest some wine pairings and also walked us through the different cheeses on the board and how they were made and what made each of them unique. It was a very nice experience and we again made a mental note that on our next trip to Rome, we would definitely be visiting L'Angolo Divino again!
