Love Love Love! Welcome to flavor town! Pastas are amazing here. Staff is super friendly and the lady seating people is so nice! It’s more of an order at the counter, eat and head out kinda place. It’s a smaller establishment with limited seating. The place opened at 1230. We got there at 1250 and there was already a long line. We waited about 50 min for a table. If you want to order to go, you’d still have to fall in line with everyone else. Best food in Rome by far! Definitely worth the wait! This is a must try if you’re visiting Rome!

Simple dishes, well done. 4.5/5. Nothing new or particularly exciting but fresh ingredients, excellent pasta. Line of about 10 - 15 people when we got there 15 min before they opened. No table service so you order at the counter once there are seats available. Counter height so not great for the smallest kids. For the price, near the best we had in Italy.

After Venice and Florence on our Italy holiday, we came to Rome. The best pasta we ate in the country was at this restaurant. We waited in line for a while, we were informed that we would not be able to go in (the restaurant might be closed), but it is a good thing we waited. Please be there on time for fresh and delicious pasta! The gentleman on duty was very attentive, we also tried the tiramisu upon his recommendation and bingo! it was also very delicious. He also supported us because we have a small child, thanks to the whole team for this beautiful evening. Grazie 🌸

Absolutely amazing! The pasta here was so good. I especially recommend the lasagna and the truffles- they were on a different league drom any other pasta I ate in rome. The atmosphere there was nice and they were very welcoming. The only downside in my experience was the carbonara- it wasn't that good in my opinion. But still this is a must place for anyone who loves and appreciates great pasta.

Easily one of the best hidden gems in Rome. I have been coming to this restaurant for 4 years already and the food never disappoints. Ordered a bottle of wine, water, arugula (rocket) salad with cucumbers, and a delicious truffle pasta! For dessert - the famous tiramisu. Every dish is crafted to perfection. Ingredients are fresh and full with flavor and passion. Make sure to get there early for a good seat. It’s a family owned restaurant and you will be treated like FAMILY 🫶🏻 I look forward to coming (not in August) later this year.
