Was staying in a hotel 8 minutes walk away. Picked here for lunch. Family run. Packed with locals which we took as a good sign. Food was delicious. Service was prompt, polite and full of smiles. Excellent value. Really great little street cafe clearly adored by locals. Everyone in our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children: 17, 15 and 9) enjoyed their food and scrapped their plates clean. Thank you!

Incredible find of Paola and her family running this incredible family restaurant in Rome with a simple ambience, top notch quality food, great service always with a smile.

Each dish tasted incredible, with the flavours of the ingredients still fresh and elevated. The pricing of the food is also super competitive, with a high price quality ratio.

A humble place, don’t go by the looks, the food is one I’m going to keep coming back to!

We found this place by chance. A typical Italian restaurant with only locals in it. The food was so delicious and authentic. Here I had the best pasta ever! The stuff was friendly and kind. Recommend! You should give it a try!

Awesome service and authentic experience. Eat delicious food for a fair price amongst the locals.

We arrived late during lunch hour, so options were limited, but everything we ate was delicious.

I would recommend this place to anyone. Make sure to practice your Italian menu reading ;)
