The restaurant has an authentic and lively atmosphere, typical of historic Roman trattorias, with professional and attentive service. The highlight was undoubtedly the cacio e pepe, prepared tableside: creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The other traditional Roman dishes were also well-executed and made with quality ingredients. I give it four stars because, despite the excellent food, the prices are a bit high compared to other Roman trattorias, and the place can be quite noisy when full. Overall, however, it remains a very good place for those who want to experience authentic Roman cuisine in one of the city's most characteristic neighborhoods.

Being huge fans of the dish we ran there ... for a little bit of a disappointment unfortunately. Sorry but we had eaten the pasta on various occasions before and it had tasted way better. We'd tried it in Rome as well but also in Florence or Sicilly. Honestly, I would not come back here. The place is well taken care of, very neat with good service. Howerever , it seemed a bit stiff and lacked cosiness. Aperol spritz was also not the best one.

The service is friendly, but you have to be careful: the rush, anxiety, and haste to choose are all there when ordering. First courses: carbonara AMAZING, carbonara with artichokes, mmmm not to my taste, the sauce too bland. Eggplant parmigiana AMAZING, amazing, supplì too, artichokes mmmm, so-so. Main courses are nothing special, especially the lamb and potatoes, which are good, but the saltimbocca, I'd say not at all. Excellent wine list.

The marketing strategy is to distinguish itself from the usual home-style trattorias with checkered tablecloths, and this quality is reflected in the atmosphere and in the bill. There is no house wine and the wine list is extensive, but there is no bottle of red for less than €30, which I must say is increasingly common elsewhere. The menu is rich and classic. Excellent eggplant roulade, excellent puntarelle, creamy carbonara and crispy bacon, the rigatoni al dente on the inside but perhaps, I'm not sure, precooked, as it is slightly rubbery on the outside. The cacio e pepe, as per tradition, is very rich and delicious. The sliced ​​beef is also good. It certainly remains a point of reference for tourists and others who want guaranteed quality Roman cuisine with a less homey and noisy atmosphere.
