  Excellent authentic Italian food, many Italians come here which to me is a good sign of a restaurant serving good Italian food. Small but really tasty many. Service was also good and fast.

  We love this little local spot in Rome, even though we always make several wrong turns when we try to find it. I love to make it there when they are serving pasta tartufata. I wish they would use a little less butter, as it has a tendency to fill you up too much and even over power some of the tartufo. But the pasta is always absolutely perfect here. They have a good selection of affordable wines, and they have a good atmosphere. They are frequented both by locals and by tourists (sometimes in groups so it can get fairly noisy).
  
  The wait staff here is extra, in a good way. Everyone is considerate, pleasant, helpful, and interesting. One of the most important things to know is that it is definitely a place where you will want to reserve enough internal space to order dessert. They always have several that are so mouthwatering it makes it hard to choose. I'm not going to tell you my favorite because I want to increase the chances they have it for me the next time I go back! A not to be missed culinary experience right around the corner from Piazza Navona.

  If you have the patience to handle the terrible service the food is actually quite good. The bruschette we warm and fresh, delicious. At our table we ordered 3 pasta plates that were very tasty. The pasta is slightly al-dente for our taste and carried a bit of salt too.
  
  Unfortunately the service is anything but warm. No conversation, no explanations....just order taking and delivery. Hopefully they get your order right on the first try else you'll need time to flag someone down.
  
  In a pinch this place works. As there are so many better options within 300 meters I certainly can not recommended this place.
  
  Also....no coffee served.

  So good, we ate here twice! The first time was lunch our first day - I had the pizza con funghi, which was delicious. Pizza was thin, but had good chew and flavor. My friend had the spaghetti con vongole. Despite this not being the region for seafood, it was very good. The next day we shared the pizza with porcini mushrooms, which we decided we would have liked better with a red sauce. Cacio e pepe was also nicely done (though I also decided it was not my favorite). The fettucine con porcini was super good. The noodles are sooo deliciously chewy.
  
  Excellent restaurant. Everything is great! Service is very friendly. We almost went back for dessert our third day but didn't have room.

  Wow! We highly recommend this place. A friend suggested it to us and we are so happy we stopped by. The service was great. We sat outside and the evening was beautiful. Prices are fair. Food is fantastic! Order the truffle pizza. You won't regret it. The sommelier was super helpful and helped us pick a wine that fit our taste buds and budget! Overall, we highly recommend. We are even going to try to sneak in another meal here before we leave
