We had such an amazing time at this restaurant! The food was incredibly, incredibly delicious. Everything was simply perfect. Every dish was top quality and full of flavor. The meat is delicious and was one of my favorites.
The service was outstanding. A special thank you to our waiter "Jaja" and the entire team for being so kind, attentive, and welcoming. Even though it was Valentine’s Day and very busy, we arrived without a reservation and were seated after only a very short wait. They even prepared a lovely table for us, which we truly appreciated.
A very big thank you as well for the beautiful birthday surprise for my sister. We were so, so happy and really touched by the thoughtful gesture. It made the evening even more special.
Everything about this visit was just wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. See you next time I am in Roma ;)
Super grateful, fantastic food, amazing service 10 out of 10!
