There was a long queue, but it was absolutely worth the wait. They don’t have any seating inside, so you’ll need to eat outside on the pedestrian area in front of the shop, which is actually quite fun and casual.
There’s also a pizza shop right next door, so you can easily enjoy both pasta and pizza in one stop. A great place for a quick and delicious meal near the Vatican!
The place itself is tiny, with only three small tables, so there’s basically nowhere to sit inside. Most people were just sitting on the pavement curbs outside, eating their pasta there and enjoying it.
In the end it was definitely worth the wait. The carbonara was really tasty and exactly what we hoped for. Simple place, great pasta.
