Delicious food. Had garlic spaghetti, spaghetti and meatballs and spicy penne with The BEST Tiramisu I’ve ever had. Lalla was so kind and patient with us. She spoke English which helped. But… go for the food!!!

Lala's place is incredible. Easily the best food experience we had in Rome. Her cooking is real, traditional Roman food, simple, flawless, and clearly made with pride. It was so good and she was so sweet and fun that we kept coming back.

The osteria is inside a market, which adds to the whole vibe. You get amazing food, plus you get to wander around, talk to the vendors, and check out all the fresh produce and little shops.

If you want a real Roman experience, the kind locals would actually approve of, go here. Perfect spot, beautiful energy, delicious food. Highly recommend.

This was by far my favorite food experience in Rome. The food was shining with flavour. We were simply passing through the market but once I smelled the food of other customsers, I had to stop. They were also extremely accomodating of my friend’s celiac and had many options of gluten free pasta to choose from. The hosts were absolutely the sweetests and made us try their absolutely amazing tiramisu and mole cola (a less sweet version of a coke) that was so good. If I had stayed in that area, I would have gone there everyday. If you go to Rome or the Vatican, this place is a must!

A very special find. In a city that prides itself on superior quality dining, this gem stands out. First, it's family owned and operated. Love is in everything & it's obvious. I arrived early while the owners were still preparing for the evening and they sat me without hesitation, immediately. The food was all fresh, extremely tasty, and balanced both visually and in flavors. For example, the appetizer I had was a potato flan but I couldn't eat the accompanying sauce due to my own dietary restrictions so they paired it with a creamy cheese sauce and a raspberry reduction. Absolute perfection on the spot. I will be back.
