Really nice pizza with a very thin crust so it is quite light and with a lot of ingredients it is a perfect light lunch. Deserts were good especially tiramisu and profiterole with the lemon cake and nocce being below average taste. Still would recommend.

The best authentic food in Rome. Try Caccio e peppe, lamb chops, pizza and fresh deserts that the owner made

Food was good. We however got charged for “pane” which we didn’t order or get. House white wine was delicious

We got the Lasagna (14) and the Carbonara (12) Good portion on the Carbonara, great egg taste. Smaller portion on the Lasagna, but was good, classic. No tap water. and bread is available on request (you have to pay)

We ate here for dinner on the 29th of December. It was probably one of my favourite meals in Rome. We ate here after our Spa experience nearby. Everything from the homey environment, to his kind and inviting the staff were made this experience memorable. My favourite - believe it or not - was the starter. The Bruschetta aglio e olio. It was just perfect. Crusty, crunchy bread, drowned in quality olive oil, noticeably garlic aroma and taste, with pepper to finish. We dipped our potatoes croquettes in the leftover oil. It was just that delicious. Moving on to the mains, I was surprised with how saucy the Crostini was. But it was delicious. Although, be warned. The salmon they use is smoked, so if you’re not a fan of that smell, you may not enjoy it. But the sauce was just beautiful. Of course the Cacio e Pepe was also so delicious. And the Chocolate mousse was the perfect end to the meal. Honestly, I truly loved the place, and if we stayed longer (and closer haha) I would’ve asked to go back again. Must must must visit.

I love lasagna, it’s one of my favorite dishes. But I usually think of lasagna as a heavy dish. This lasagna was not heavy at all: it was a delightful, light and melt in your mouth experience. I recommend the lasagna but they also had other local dishes that looked amazing!!
