What a find! 18€ for THREE big plates of food! I left feeling super happy and with an extremely full belly. The service was amazing too, I cant believe I found it on the last day of my holiday! A must visit for a cheap, flavour packed meal, great atmosphere - the true italian experience. Thank you :) !

Great place for a low key, local experience of lunch away from the tourist traps.

Cantina style, you have a selection of dishes to choose from, usually meat or fish paired up with a vegetable dish. They also have some pasta dishes like lasagne.

Very good value at around €5-7 Euro’s.

Bread on the side is complimentary too.

Staff were accommodating and spoke English which I was grateful for with my limited Italian.

Perfect little stop off if you are getting of at Trastevere station from the airport or/and staying locally in Monteverde.

Beautiful prices, beautiful service, beautiful food. Of all the 'tavola calda' places we tried during a week in Rome, this was the best. By far the best. We had a plate of roast beef and another of salmon. Dessert is just a fruit cup. No sweets. Since we're not big on sweets, this was even better. See photos and judge if this works for you. The only drawback is the distance from the city centre but it's a winner if you happen to be nearby.
