Very typical roman dishes, but be careful might be "too typical" for some : the carbonara pasta were extremely salty (nearly not eatable fur is although the others guest didn't seem to complain) and my wife ate something truly delicious and literally swimming in butter (and got sick all night). Yet again, a genuine Roman cooking experience but not for the light hearted.

This food was absolutely amazing. We both had pasta and pannacotta and it was a 10/10! Recommended to us by our accommodation host and very glad we went. The staff were amazing, so helpful considering we are English and the menu is Italian, the atmosphere is great and the music choices on the tv were top notch. Would definitely recommend 😍😍😍

This place is delicious! Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in all of Rome. Their food is very traditional Roman cuisine. The oxtail pasta was delicious, as well as the tiramisu. Definitely recommend and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.
