The food was absolutely delicious. every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. A special shoutout to our waitress, Soheyla she was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive. Her warmth and professionalism added such value to the evening. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and made sure we felt welcome. The interior is cozy and characterful, warm lighting, and a rustic yet elegant feel. It feels like dining in a place with soul, not just another tourist restaurant. Many guests praise the atmosphere and continuity of good service throughout the day. The food here is absolutely amazing. One of the more popular restaurants and hence there is a wait but luckily when we went it wasn’t too bad. Still had to wait about 15 minutes, and the place was still busy. There is good reason though, the food is delicious. The pasta was so good- the lasagna was divine, and everything else is really well cooked. The service is really solid, don’t expect to be rushed. The tiramisu was the star, so light and delicious at the same time. Definitely worth a visit when in Rome. The decor was so nice too. We spent our last night in Roma at this wonderful restaurant, with the perfect table that overlooked the busy (but absolutely iconic) alleyway on a Friday night. There was a small wait, but we got in as a two top within 5-10 mins. The food, simply amazing - we started with Tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella and some mouthwatering Focaccia bread (which was the best we had in Rome), the Meatballs and the Calamari (also the best Calamari I have had (ever)). Then we had a Margarita Pizza and then for desert a Tiramisu and the Strawberries & Cream. (The desert was also my favorite version of Tiramisu we had in Rome, more like a custard than a cake). Alfonso was our favorite server!! Personable, attentive, so helpful (and the restaurant was packed), the fact that we had such wonderful service was not lost on us. Thank you so much for creating such a memorable experience for our first time to Italy, 10 out of 10 will come again!!

The food was absolutely delicious, but what made the experience truly special was the atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind, singing Italian songs and creating such a warm vibe. One of the staff members, Ali, was especially sharp, friendly, and attentive — we really loved that! We ended up enjoying ourselves so much that we ate a lot more than planned. Highly recommended

The pizza and ravioli were absolutely delicious! What really made the experience special was the amazing service from Gabriele — he kindly explained the menu and helped us choose dishes suitable for Muslims. His professionalism and friendliness made our visit truly enjoyable. Excellent food and outstanding hospitality! 🍕👏
