Details

We found this restaurant by accident since our hotel is located in the same area and what can I say: it is one of the best fish restaurants we have ever been to! The products were extremely fresh, every dish was perfectly cooked. The staff (the restaurant seemed like it is family owned) was also very friendly and attentive. This will be our recommendation to everyone who visits Rome. Great food, service and atmosphere. The staff were kind and helpful with great wine pairing. Everything was fresh and tasty, we spent a bit more than we expected but it was totally worth it. The best fish ever! We had tuna tartar and red shrimp tartar & fritto misto, grilled fish and tuna sicilian style! They all were AMAZING! I highly recommend it! 😁 The environment is nice! Clean and quiet! The main thing is that the ingredients are very fresh! The prices are also very reasonable! The owner is very friendly! It’s been a great experience! Had our dinner here on our first night in Rome . Restaurant is bright and nicely decorated . The spaghetti vongole is superb ....clams are fresh and the spaghetti is Al dente....the seabream is excellent too! Finished off the meal with delicious dessert for everyone
