Calamari was so good, I wanted to have it as sauce for pasta!
Ordered the Amatriciana and it was perfetto, with just the right amount of panchetta complementing the sauce! Chased it down with the house wine which was so good, ordered two more glasses to cap the night!
Update: came back to this place a third time because I loved the food so much! Waiter recognized me instantly as soon as I approached the entrance, ushered me right to my usual table and welcomed me with a prosecco! Why would I even think about having a meal elsewhere when in Rome!
You will not regret stopping in this beautiful restaurant for dinner, we were absolutely blown away! It was hands down the best meal we had during our entire trip to Italy.
Our server, KeBron, went above and beyond to give us not only incredible food but also such a happy, memorable experience. The staff even surprised our son with the most amazing tiramisu to celebrate his 13th birthday. W were so grateful!
Whatever your server recommends, order it. Every dish we tried was phenomenal. The bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had, and our son who is used to the best of the best in beef thanks to my husband who worked in the high-end beef industry in America said the steak with red wine sauce was the best steak he’s ever had, in the States or abroad. After trying a bite ourselves, we all agreed! It was melt in your mouth perfect!!
It’s rare to find a restaurant that offers amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and truly exceptional service all in one place, but this one delivers it all. We’re already planning to come back on our last night in Rome before flying home!
The pasta dishes were amazing! We first came for pasta and liked it so much that we returned to try the pinsa as well, and everything was excellent.
A great spot in a central location where quality meets very reasonable prices. Definitely recommended!
