In the 10-20 € price range, of all the places I have tried pastas (places in Rome city center, Latvia, Cyprus, and elsewhere), I can safely say, I loved this place the most! The options are not endless, but the meals they offer, I can say they know what they are doing!
If possible, I recommend taking the tiramisu, places in the center like 'Mr. 100 Tiramisù' are great and offer multiple different tiramisu options, but if you want to try the original, the real deal, this is the place for that.
This is not a fast food place, it might take time for the food to be ready, but it will be worth the wait.
The food itself is out of this world! Highly recommend 10 out of 10.
We had four courses.
Thank you
Eating here is an experience like no other place has ever given me.
Me and including everyone I have ever brought to this place have been in complete amazement of the food! 💗
From the amazing taste and quality of the meat, to the home made wine and tiramisu, you can definitely tell that everything is made from the heart.
The service and atmosphere is fantastic! The first time I ever went there they welcomed me warmly and made me feel like home even with my 0 italian knowledge.
The staff is incredibly nice and attentive. The cook especially always comes out with a big smile to talk and greet the customer's.
All in all this is an excellent trattoria like no other, where the food and atmosphere makes you want come back every day💗
Highly recommend !!!💗

Whatever you pick with food - it’s going to be amazing.
