Comments
Foods looked good but one of them were not fresh speaking of smell. My Italian husband agreed with that.
The menu offers a variety of typical Roman dishes, all exquisite. The quality of the ingredients truly makes the difference, evident in every course. A great added value is the open kitchen, extremely clean and organized, which conveys great professionalism and attention to detail.
Chef Luca walks among the tables to ensure guests have enjoyed their dishes, passionately explaining the choice of ingredients and the philosophy behind each dish: a gesture that makes the customer feel truly pampered.
Special praise also goes to the waitress, who was exceptional in her welcome and service. She expertly recommended dishes and alcoholic beverages, explaining the ingredients and their origins in detail.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic experience, enjoy excellent Roman cuisine, and feel welcomed at home. I will definitely be back!
