  We enjoyed a nice meal here.
  We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. I would go back if I had more time in Rome. We had Bruschetta and Bucatini.

  Love this place - it's my absolute favorite in Roma. I discovered it in 2016 when I was studying abroad and came every week! The food and atmosphere is amazing. The staff is INCREDIBLE.
  
  I've come back a few times, even bring friends or family to Rome, and they always remember me! I love the wait staff and owner.
  
  The food is always fresh and high-quality. I have never had a bad dish. It is presented beautifully and full of flavor. So Italian! It is located near Piazza di Spagna, and steps away from popular stores! It is clean and beautiful all the time. Everyone is always well taken care of here. Highly suggest! I can't count how many times I've eaten here - way too many! Hehe.

  Tucked away down a side road, easily missed, is this gem of a restaurant. A fun restaurant. The fun being made by a rather flamboyant server. A great guy. But, we are here to talk about the restaurant. Being in Rome for a short stay we visited this gem twice which answers the question. The first time was brilliant but the second visit was as if we were old friends.
  Drinks orders were taken and these arrived very promptly although the order of vodka on ice took a little time to get through. OK, I am weird as I never have a mixer. However, this normally means that I get a larger vodka so I am not complaining. The house wine ordered was really fruity and extremely palatable. We decided to go seafood this evening and we ordered pasta with lobster. The waiter asked is we liked seafood and said that he would have a chat with the chef and make sure there were extra mussels etc with the pasta. We have had lobster pasta before and the pasta had a smattering of lobster meat stirred in with it. This time, WOW, wonderful, homemade, pasta with slightly tomato sauce but.....but.......half a lobster each, two massive prawns in shell, one langoustine in shell, masses of mussels, loads of clams and chopped octopus. All cooked to perfection. So much. We finished with gelato and coffee and brandy.
  Price was surprisingly low for what we had eaten. Loved the place and I would advise anyone to hunt around, find this restaurant and give it a go. If you find it, say hello from us.

  The food was good. The wine was great. The staff was amazing. Loved the "guy's" personality...that made up for the food not being incredible. It was good, but not spectacular. The fresh pasta and meatballs were good. The red sauce, so so.  The limoncello at the end...a very nice touch. Thanks for a great lunch.

  Friendly server... Speaks excellent English.
  
  I came here for dinner one night and enjoyed what I consider typical Italian dinner.  I was actually looking for another place I knew from previous visit but a server's "Buonasera" was so inviting, somehow I decided to try here.
  
  I started with one of their homemade pasta. Simple homemade pasta with shellfish. First bite, I knew I was back in Italy. Just love that al dente texture.
  
  For a main dinner, I ordered lamb. First bite, I didn't like it. I asked a kind server to take it back and let me order something else. My grilled salmon was so juicy and lots of salmon oil, really enjoyed never been frozen grilled salmon.
  
  In stead of desert, I had limoncello. (After I finished a half bottle of wine). This was the first meal in Rome during this trip. May not be the best but pretty good food. I enjoyed my dinner while sitting next to the outdoor heaters (kept me warm the whole time).
