You need to go to this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff and ambiance only add to this amazing experience. My husband and I ordered the pork ribs and the pesto gnocchi and we couldn’t get enough of each bite. Make sure to make a reservation in advance as tables fill up quickly. Definitely one of the best meals we’ve ever had.

My wife and I came here on our first night in Italy celebrating both our honeymoon and one year anniversary. I initially chose to set a reservation at this establishment due to the reviews, and it is unfortunate we are limited to only 5 stars. I am not one to take time for reviews, but between the service, atmosphere, and authenticity it would be a disservice to anyone who doesn’t know of this place not to. My wife and I enjoyed garlic bread with truffle sauce, potato gnocchi with sausage and a truffle sauce, and Italian style ribs. This paired with their house wine (which was a fantastic quality AND a low price) was the best meal we had in Italy and possibly our entire lives. The staff were attentive, but far from overbearing. They accommodated English very well, and were happy to show their culture and authenticity with how their meals were provided. They served the food in rounds as not to rush you, and you are encouraged to really sit and enjoy every bite without worrying about getting to the next plate. The portions are perfect and you get so much food, I ate far more than any American service would dare give me. And I could not stop. My taste buds overpowered my stomach in the best way. If you go anywhere in Italy, this is your spot. I swore to not visit the same place twice, I lied. I went 3 times.

What a gem! Of all the food we had in Italy, this was by far the best- so much so, we went twice for dinner! It was in a quaint little alleyway neighborhood, not far from Ponte Lungo Metro Station, and we fell in love with the restaurant, the family that runs it, their house wine, their food, the quality, the quantity, and THE PRICE! Very affordable for premium food! We really loved their sausage gnocchi, rack of ribs: GET.THE.ITALIAN.RACK.OF.RIBS!! (Yes, I’m yelling at you- you won’t regret it)! We aren’t big dessert eaters but so glad we didn’t skip the heavenly caramel, ricotta dessert. We will keep this place in our hearts forever and will come back if we are ever in Rome again! Thank you, beautiful people 🥰😍🇮🇹

Great dinner, great hosts and a really fun night overall! The ox tail fettuccine and both Tiramisu were the highlights...can't wait to go back and try other dishes.
Thank you!

Everything from walking in the front door to the last drink of wine was spectacular. The service was received was incredible and detailed, and the food matched it. An excellent evening out away from the tourist zone!
