The food was exceptional. My kids aren't picky eaters, and the food was mildly adventurous. And they were very satisfied. The purple potato gnocchi with clams and lemon zest was so original, refreshing, and flavorful! Another amazing dish was the langustini with red shrimp. The pasta and sauce in it were homemade and incredibly tasty. Our family left satisfied and impressed with the price per quality ratio.

The food was average, which does not justify the price. We waited for one hour for a plate of pasta, and there was just one other couple in the place. Never going back

After reading all the reviews about this young establishment, I had to try. Wow, what a gourmet experience we had! We were welcomed warmly with smile by Dino who was also our initial server. We started out with a glass of prosecco, a compliment of the house. The menu was obyained by downloaded via QR code printed on the knife and fork stand, however they did have printed wine list if needed. It took us for a while to decide what to order since everything on the menu looked delicious. We ended up sharing three appetizers and two main course among two of us. Everything was prepared artistically and tastefully with care, and of course, it was all delicious. We could tell ingredients were all freshly procured, such as grilled calamari was so tender, and the roasted paprika accompanied to smoked octopus had depth of sweetness.
Lastly, the desert was to die for. We had their interpretation of beignet with chocolate sauce and cannoli with pistachio sauce, and they were yummy!!!

Their food is not a typical Roman style but elevated Italian/Mediterranean cuisine. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and for their impeccable service.
We highly recommend this establishment to anyone who would like to experience elevated Italian gourmet food as we are planning on return again soon and try other dishes in the menu. This is one of the only few restaurant we will return amongst the thousands of them in Roma.
