This restaurant stands out in Rome. Fairytale/romantic atmoshphere, very friendly, family runned restaurant. Interesting and tasty dishes. Expect that you will not know in advance the prices as you order mostly through conversation with the owner.

An amazing dinner and a unique experience. The restaurant is beautiful, and in every corner you look you will find even more details. The owner was very attentive, and I personally liked that there isn’t a menu as it added more to the experience. I 100% recommend coming here for dinner, just make sure to have enough time so as not to be rushed and to fully enjoy all that the restaurant has to offer :)
