Dined here a year ago and had pizza. Did not like the pizza at all, but my friends had pasta and said it was delicious. Decided to give it another try. The pasta is indeed delicious and the seafood platter was also great. Maybe I just don’t vibe the Roman style of pizza (haven’t had pizza elsewhere in Rome to confirm), but I would not recommend the pizza here. Have pasta instead. Amazing food and service! I had carbonara and my husband had the special which was a pistachio ravioli. The meat and cheese appetizer was delicious as well. We shared a wonderful tiramisu for dessert. Drinks were great. Highly recommend for a nice meal within walking distance of the colosseum! Amazing food and service! We had the Iari pizza, Carbonara pasta, and lamb — all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Cozy Roman vibe, friendly staff, great prices. Highly recommend!

Such a gem of an establishment close to the Colosseum. Amazing for a quick bite of lunch, with a menu that can accompany any requirement. Portion sizes are generous, and we really enjoyed our pasta and fried squid mains. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. P.S their WC is a mess… diners beware.

It's very delicious. The service is very good. The seafood noodles and lamb chops are really delicious and affordable. I chose medium rare steak , but the iron plate was too hot. By the time I ate it, it was already cooked. I hope it could be improved. And when I checked out, another waiter swiped the card to give a 10% tip, my mother found it in time and cancelled it.
