Cantina e Cucina

The food was absolutely delicious. every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. A special shoutout to our waitress, Soheyla she was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive. Her warmth and professionalism added such value to the evening. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and made sure we felt welcome. The interior is cozy and characterful, warm lighting, and a rustic yet elegant feel. It feels like dining in a place with soul, not just another tourist restaurant. Many guests praise the atmosphere and continuity of good service throughout the day.

The food here is absolutely amazing. One of the more popular restaurants and hence there is a wait but luckily when we went it wasn’t too bad. Still had to wait about 15 minutes, and the place was still busy. There is good reason though, the food is delicious. The pasta was so good- the lasagna was divine, and everything else is really well cooked. The service is really solid, don’t expect to be rushed. The tiramisu was the star, so light and delicious at the same time. Definitely worth a visit when in Rome. The decor was so nice too.

We spent our last night in Roma at this wonderful restaurant, with the perfect table that overlooked the busy (but absolutely iconic) alleyway on a Friday night. There was a small wait, but we got in as a two top within 5-10 mins. The food, simply amazing - we started with Tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella and some mouthwatering Focaccia bread (which was the best we had in Rome), the Meatballs and the Calamari (also the best Calamari I have had (ever)). Then we had a Margarita Pizza and then for desert a Tiramisu and the Strawberries & Cream. (The desert was also my favorite version of Tiramisu we had in Rome, more like a custard than a cake). Alfonso was our favorite server!! Personable, attentive, so helpful (and the restaurant was packed), the fact that we had such wonderful service was not lost on us. Thank you so much for creating such a memorable experience for our first time to Italy, 10 out of 10 will come again!!

The food was absolutely delicious, but what made the experience truly special was the atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind, singing Italian songs and creating such a warm vibe. One of the staff members, Ali, was especially sharp, friendly, and attentive — we really loved that! We ended up enjoying ourselves so much that we ate a lot more than planned. Highly recommended

The pizza and ravioli were absolutely delicious! What really made the experience special was the amazing service from Gabriele — he kindly explained the menu and helped us choose dishes suitable for Muslims. His professionalism and friendliness made our visit truly enjoyable. Excellent food and outstanding hospitality! 🍕👏

Hands down the best food we had during our entire trip! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails were also expertly made—balanced, refreshing, and crafted with care. The atmosphere was really nice, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. The customer service stood out just as much as the food—waiters and waitresses were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

My experience at this place was fantastic! The atmosphere is warm and very welcoming, while the waiters are extremely kind, smiling, and always ready to help with any request. The service was quick and very professional. The food is simply wonderful – without a doubt the best pizzas and spaghetti I have ever tasted in Rome. The flavors are authentic, fresh, and prepared with great care. I cannot fail to mention the tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and delicious – a perfect dessert to end the dinner. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience true Italian cuisine in Rome. 🍝🍕

If I could give 6 stars, I would! This restaurant was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Even though there was a queue and the place was packed, the staff remained incredibly polite, helpful, and genuinely friendly — a rare find these days, especially when things get busy. The food? Simply delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. But the real cherry on top was the service. After our appetizers, I could barely touch my pasta — not because it wasn’t good (it was fantastic), but because I was dealing with jaw pain. When our waiter noticed, I reassured him that the food was great, but he still took the initiative to remove the pasta from our bill without me even asking. That kind of care and attention is just unheard of. We’ve been traveling all around Italy, and this was by far the best service we’ve encountered. Highly, highly recommend — and I’d give them an extra star if I could!

Perf spot to end my visit to Rome! I went at a weird time, so was able to pick a little table in the corner. The staff was soooo sweet and def made the meal even better - which was tough because the cacio e Pepe was perfect. Portions are big, so expect a heavier meal if you get pasta (in a good way lol).

Ambiance: the overall vibe is less Italian, and their food is generally more adaptive to the taste of international tourists Service: very friendly and patient with questions, provided useful suggestions about their specialities Food & Drink: classic menu for pasta, pizza, and meat entrees LASAGNA "Bolognese" - ***** so creamy and soft with flavorful meat sauce, tasted freshly made in the same day, melting in your mouth, highly recommend Hot Focaccia with E.V.O. Oil and Rosemary - **** very crispy and tasty, recommend Capricciosa - **** tomato, mozzarella, cooked ham, egg olives, artichoke and mushrooms, less traditional Italian pizza but still tasty, recommend Birra Peroni Gran Riserva 0,4 - *** average taste not worth the cost Price: generous portions and affordable prices for food and hefty for drinks, expect €25 per person

This hovers between 3 & 4. The service was great, the place is charming, but the food was good, not special. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. They bring you a shot glass of limoncello with your bill. I had the pizza Buffalino with fresh cherry tomatoes, Buffalo mozzarella and basil. The crust was light and crunchy. The place is charming with small tables, booths and tables.

I was drawn to Cantina e Cucina due to all the great reviews I saw & photos made the food look super delicious. It's located near Piazza Navona & lots of restaurants in this area seem quite popular & busy, including this one. When we got here, there was already a line/queue. The wait was about 30ish minutes for a table of 4. We ordered the bruschetta, 2 tonnarello spaghetti w/ meatballs, lasagna, & gnocchi w/ clams. All of the dishes were very underwhelming & mid. Spaghetti was undercooked, flavor for all the dishes were severely lacking. Our server also charged us extra for flatbread when we didn't order it + didn't touch it. Did not enjoy Cantina e Cucina & would not come back here.

We visited twice because it was that good! Their lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, and tiramisu were our favorites, and I highly recommend trying them. The tiramisu was incredibly creamy--each bite left me wanting more!

Cantina E. Cucina was absolutely refreshing and delicious. We are traveling here in Italy, and it's just amazing to find these spots. We had to wait in line for a bit, but I'd do it all over again, lol. It feels weird since we are from the state and dining in Italian restaurants. America usually over does the Italian "style" and then to just be in an Italian restaurant in Italy you just note there is not style to it. They have their vibe and history, and it's great. The service was perfect and attentive. It amazes me how many languages our hosts knew. We had Swiss German, Spanish, and English, and we were all able to communicate effectively. They were polite. Fun and just made the experience amazing. Food wise... Cantina E hit all the musical notes. It all was fresh, as you can get with distinct flavors. The Caprese was so amazing that we got two. The flavors' breads with them made it sooooo much better. We got two pizzas, which were so good with a light, crispy crust and flavorful. Both dishes were fantastic. The ravioli was stuffed to perfection, and you could taste ever cheese and sauce. This was definitely one of my favorite restaurants to go to while in Italy... I recommend this to anyone.

Don't tell Garfield about the lasagna here. It is truly magical. I'm not sure how they made this lasagna light as a feather yet oh so rich. As melty as each bite was, the structure of the lasagna stayed true and didn't collapse into an awful swimming pool of wrecked pasta sheets, watery tomato sauce and gut busting cheese. Yes, you know what I'm talking about, when the pasta sheets are overcooked prior to assembling, wilting under the enormous pressure of holding up layer after layer of sauce and cheese, contributing to a plate of what looks like a messy baked ziti when it is all said and done. Don't get me wrong, I like baked ziti but baked ziti is a weeknight, let's mash everything together, I-need-a-shower, after work quick meal. Lasagna is Sunday table best and each bite should represent as intended, each layer, a perfect bite. This lasagna was that truely perfect layered bite. I've never made a plate of lasagna disappear faster than the one I was served here. Garfield couldn't have eaten it any faster than I did. If lasagna was like this everywhere I'd be eating more lasagna in my life. Their rendition of spaghetti and meatballs were delicious, although the meatballs were a little more dense than the others I tried in Italy. The steak was also a tough chew, but maybe it was because I had just tried a Bistec Florentine the night before. Of the side dishes I tried, the potatoes were delicious. Get the potatoes as a side if feel you need more carbs. LOL. I wanted dinner at 6pm and didn't wait at all on a Friday night which I know isn't the norm. This was also yet another meal where I doggie bagged unfinished business but believe me it was finished before the evening passed. LOL. Edited 6/8/24 - Thanks to John D for reminding it was Garfield not Heathcliff. Thanks John!

Stopped for lunch in Rome before our trip to the coliseum. Had their pizza and a salad. The pizza was very good. The salad was too much salted salmon. Service just ok.

Amazing restaurant in the middle of the Rome city center. The prices are right and the food is amazing. The pasta with parmesan cheese and pepper was delicious as was the pizza. The service was great and we did not have to wait too long for a table. Convenient, cheap and delicious. It is a win win!

Some of the BEST lasagna I have ever had. Also their pizza was delicious. Their staff was also amazing. My phone must have dropped somewhere while I was in there and I was so worried but our someone found it and immediately handed it to me. Thanks for not only having great food but also an amazing staff. Thank you.

Homey restaurant in the middle of a super busy tourist area, this was a lovely first meal to our arrival to Rome with great pasta and reasonable prices. Staff were so playful, friendly, and kind. Food: -Cacio e pepe 3/5 - Made a bit more Al dente than I am used to in the US, the cheesey flavor yummy but slightly overwhelming to the dish. -Spaghetti and meatballs: 4/5 - would definitely come back for this one. The tomatoes gave the perfect amount of that mouthwatering sour and the meatballs were large. -Calamari: 4/5 - one of the highlights, is lightly bartered and not oily, the pieces with tentacles added depth in flavor and it was perfect with the lemon Since we opted not to get dessert, the waitress gave us little pieces of their home made biscotti which was EXCELLENT. I'm not sure if you can order this on its own, but it was such a pleasant surprise and ending to our meal.

Great place with delicious food and wonderful service. My wife and I stopped in for pizza but we elected you share the meatballs as well. The meatballs were to die for and they came with these wonderfully made potatoes. They have a delicious D'Asti moscato which I could have sipped on all day long but we had things to do :) The tables are super close together but it doesn't take away from the romantic ambiance that comes along with the quaint restaurant. Enjoy!

I would go back to Rome just for the weekend to be able to eat at the restaurant again. My family and I went back twice to this amazing spot. The lasagna is on point and the salads are so fresh and filling after a week of eating heavy pasta and pizza. The ladies here are amazing.

This was highly-rated on Trip Advisor and so we showed up early (like right when they opened), to avoid long wait times. The roman artichoke was legit. Definitely a great appetizer to set the tone. The calamari served in a cone was so good, so fresh and lightly breaded just the way I like it. The pizza with salsiccia and patate had really good flavor although I would have preferred a thinner crust.

After 2 failed attempts to visit for dinner LAL (long @$$ line), we visited for lunch and were able to snag a table early. Filled up by the time we were done. Such a delightful little spot! Charm galore. But that's not why you should go. Go for the good. Solid, well priced, and delicious. Classics reign supreme.

Came here early Sep and the city was crowded. There was a line wrapped around the building around 8:45pm. Although there were only 4-5 people/couples in front of me, I waited a while the line did not move fast. Service inside was attentive and people were hustling. It was a rushed dinner. I got the fried artichoke which was tasty although a little greasy. I also got a pizza which I enjoyed. It was very good but next time I'd find a place with a lesser wait time.

Really great for our first night in Rome! My fiancé and I had the ham and melon to start off followed by the meatballs and the pasta with bacon and tomato sauce! The sauce is a chefs kiss! The spritz and Prosecco were also great! Super nice vibe in here, overall causal wear. Would deff return, I want to try the pizza! Highly recommend! The only reason I took one start was because it was hot in there not much air flow lol nothing to do with the food or service! They were both great!

The restaurant itself is incredibly small, but so so charming! I got a pasta dish that was incredible and an artichoke appetizer that was a bit bizarre. If you are looking for a place to grab a casual lunch in the city, it is definitely worth checking out.

Stopped here for lunch as we ventured around the city. Homemade pasta which was simply delicious. Personnel and service were great especially being in a very touristy area. Check this place if you want a really good homemade meal.

This place was super cozy w/ a real family atmosphere. Unfortunately we were a party of 3 so our wait to be seated was a lot longer. Dined on a Sun evening and it was fairly busy. Waited almost an hr because of our group size but the groups of 2 were prioritized. Host did give us a glass of champagne for our Troubles while we waited. It was worth it, food was amazing, pasta was sooo fresh! melt in your mouth. The meatballs were thick & flavorful My friends thoroughly enjoyed their lasagna & pizza

The weight staff was super friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Truly enjoyed their version of the Caprese salad. Everyone enjoyed their meals so much that we went back the next day as well. I can highly recommend the meatballs.

Very popular spot! We had heard nothing but good stuff about this place so decided to try it. Waited in line about 45 minutes to get in so not too bad. The appetizers were really good, service was excellent, and restaurant had a really nice vibe . Lasagna was good but not terribly impressed with the carbonara. Host and wait staff were great!!

Honestly, I'm baffled by all these highly rated reviews. Either we (party of 3) ate here on an off night or we're just the minority that isn't drinking the tourist kool aid. We came here due to the high reviews and line outside the door. Myself, wife and brother agreed this place shouldn't be rated this highly. Our server was great in getting us seated since we beat the rush. We ordered the Calamari, Meatball Cheese and Pepper and Homemade Pasta with Meatballs. I hadn't decided yet so I asked the waitress what she recommends. This was when things started getting weird. She seemed confused and wasn't sure what to recommend so I narrowed it down and asked what pizza she would recommend, and she hesitated and didn't seem sure and finally said Capricciosa. That hesitation didn't bode well but I said ok, lets get that. Well, here's the food verdict... Calamari: 4.5/5 Very good. Came out hot and crispy. There was only light batter on it to give it a nice crunch but also protect the juiciness of the squid without overpowering with fried batter. The seasoning on it was perfect and calamari was fresh. We devoured very quickly and honestly, it was just one of the best fried calamari I've had. Polpette Cacio E Pepe (Meatball Cheese and Pepper): 2/5 Really nothing special about this dish. The meatball was weak on flavor and relied heavily on the cheese to flavor it. Honestly, it didn't taste any different from any meatball I could get from the restaurants back home. Homemade Pasta and Meatballs: 2/5 Again, nothing to write home about. The homemade pasta was ok and cooked to al dente per normal. The sauce was tomatoey but that's about it. It wasn't really wowing me with great flavor profile that I wouldn't experience anywhere else. Capricciosa Pizza: 2/5 It was saucy in the middle so pointed end dropped from sogginess. The crust was bit hard and the flavor profile was all over the place. I understand that is purposeful as it's origins was essentially use whatever toppings were leftover. But still, it didn't taste like anything I'd remember fondly. My fellow Yelp reviewers can feel free to disagree with me but seriously, not buying this hype based on what we've sampled.

This little place was amazing. Literally the BEST lasagne I ever had. I found this place 3 months before I went to Italy and kept it on my to do list. The wife and I ordered lasagne, pizza and some spinach dish. The waiter looked at us like we weee crazy and said "Where you gonna out all that? " Simple European underestimated American gluttony. Besides it was just 2 Entrees and one pizza to share. Don't fat shame me Antonio. Amazing lasagne , I'll go back just for that.

An awesome hole-in-the-wall-type restaurant. Lots of delicious food, including pizza, pasta, and burgers. The service was awesome too. The lady seating people was probably super stressed seeing the line wrapping around the corner and rearranging tables, but still found time to talk to us and be friendly. And our server was really funny and helpful. Highly recommend!

My wife and I were in Rome for several days prior to a cruise. We had two meals at this spectacular restaurant and will be back the next time we are in Rome. The service was top notch, food was delicious, and the price was extremely reasonable! My wife and I both agreed this was some Of the best food we have every had, anywhere in the world!

We decided to try this place on our last day in Rome after realizing it was one of the highest rated restaurants that we saw in the city. We heard stories about long waits, so we decided to go at 6:00 pm on a Friday. There was a 15 minute wait outside the restaurant wrapping around the block already. Hostess gave everybody free sample of champaign for the wait (nice). Tip: when we left, there was probably a 45 minute wait. Ambience is great, service was great. Food was ok. We expected a bit more from this restaurant due to the hype. We ordered a spaghetti and meatball dish, a side of mashed potatoes, Roman artichoke, and a house specialty pasta. She was not able to finish the specialty pasta as the amount of cheese was overwhelming. Roman Artichoke = 5/5 Mash Potatoes = 4/5 Spaghetti and Meatballs = 3.5/5 Specialty house Pasta = 3/5

This place is a gem! My husband and I were in Rome for 5 days and we planned to eat everywhere but we fell in love at first, second, third and fourth bite! We did eat elsewhere for several meals but we ended up eating here 4 times during our trip! The staff greeted us like we were regulars! I guess we were for a short time. Lol! Anyway the vegetable platter was AMAZING and huge! The sausage pizza (I believe it was called rústica) was absolute fire! The deliciousness cannot be put into words. The fresh flavors were so perfect together! The bruschetta Trio, just wow! The lasagna was tasty. The olives were so good! America just doesn't have this type of freshness. Our tastebuds were dancing on cloud nine! When we visit Italy again, we will certainly make a special stop to come here at least once! Oh and it's looks very nice and clean inside.

This is one of the best pizza restaurant in Rome, Italy, while there are tons of pizza joint in Rome, none were able to compare to Cantina & Cucina. It was on a regular weeknight, around 8pm, this place was already packed. The line was moving fairly quickly, and we were finally seated after 30min. American style pizzas and Roman style Pizzas are not the same, and honestly Roman's pizzas are so much better, even their pepperoni tasted better... We ordered a pepperoni pizza, fried calamari, and fried potatoes, the meal was simple, yet very delicious. The pizza and calamari were not oily at all, minimum oil were used but still able maintain moisture inside. The pizza dough came with thin crust, and the cheese was generously prepared, cheese pulls were epicly created on almost every single bite, it was so satisfying! This place has a great vibe and ambient, I will def come back next time when I am in Rome again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzM-qzjDi4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Valentina took very good care of us on a very busy evening. Had 2 glasses of Chianti, Napoli pizza plus squid. Did not disappoint for flavor and taste plus arrived very quickly to table. Very pleasant atmosphere even at the table at the entrance. I rehearsed there's a line.

Cute restaurant in downtown Rome. A bit cramped. Waiter's really nice. 4/5 pizza's good but nothing shocking or standing out. Prosciutto kinda do things by itself and I wish it was a bit stronger flavor 4/5 pasta carbonara is very creamy and eggy. Porchetta's flavor's really good, just some bits are too hard. They also send some free alcohol drink. Too strong for me but you may like it.

This was one of our favorite restaurant in Rome. Everything we ordered were delicious. We especially liked the fried calamari and spaghetti with meatballs. The fried calamari was one of the best I've ever tasted. It was very lightly dusted and fried perfectly and extremely fresh. Although the carbonara was good it was also on the heavier side. If you are ever in Rome give this place a try.

This place was so cute. I picked it because we were starving and there were so many options near Piazza Navona. We did not realize that there would be a line, but there was. Luckily, our timing was great, but some people ahead of us waited a lot longer. First and foremost, this is not an authentic Italian experience in that this restaurant is full of expats and all of the servers spoke perfect English. Our server, Ella, was the best. She guided us through appetizers and wine. We had the fried artichoke (you eat the leaves whole), bruschetta, and two pizzas. If you are looking for great food, cool atmosphere, and sadly no Italians, this is your place.

Cozy atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pizza and pasta were authentic and delicious. A visit after the Vatican is a must!. And this cafe has the only clean bathroom that provide hand soap, toilet paper and hand drying towels.

This was a great place to eat. Especially after the a long flight. The food is authentic as it gets and everything is delicious. Ask for Mary the waitress. Good food Italian style.

Food here is amazing! Walked here from our hotel on our second day based on GREAT Yelp reviews and it was excellent came back two more times even tho it was a pretty lengthy walk. A lot of places show open in afternoons but are not - C e C is open through the afternoon and that is a good time to come as evening there will probably be a line. The atmosphere is pure Rome - small tables squeezed together but you will meet some nice new friends and see what they ordered! We for one of the pizzas the first night - amazing. Cannot remember the name but Calabrisi is close. The salad was excellent too. Next trip we got Lasagna and Carbonara (- little different because it had artichoke hearts but I really liked it). Third trip was another Carbonara and spaghetti with meatballs. And we also tried their Tiramisu - it is a short one (one layer) but large piece and great for two to share. Staff is busy but super nice especially when they recognize your return visits. Loved this place - will dream about it back home!

During my week in Italy, this was my favorite restaurant that we visited! The food was phenomenal. The staff was so beyond friendly. While we were in line outside waiting to be seated, they handed out complimentary Prosecco! To start we got the calamari (PLEASE TRY IT) and focaccia. Best calamari I have ever eaten in my life... mind you, I grew up on the Florida Keys so I've had A LOT of calamari. The focaccia was so yummy between the olive oil and saltiness that take over your tastebuds. Then the pasta. Wow. Still dreaming about the pasta. I ordered the cacio e pepe and that was the most delicious cacio e pepe I have ever eaten. My fiancé got the carbonara, which was also outstanding! Be mindful that there's sardines in it, so if you're not a fan just so you know. But the winner here was the good ol' spaghetti and meatballs. My sister jumped on it before I could take a picture. That sauce was the most delicious red sauce in this whole world, I swear. The meatballs, OMG. That whole dish was just such an experience. Lastly, we finished the meal off with tiramisu. Wow again. So delicious. It was served in a cappuccino cup and gave a decent amount. When we thought we were done, they gave complimentary liquor. What kind? Beats me. I learned Italians are big on finishing a meal with liquor, especially limoncello. No idea what brown liquor was served to is, but it was strong and delicious. Please do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant! Best authentic experience in the heart of Rome!

Crowded and noisy, the food was expectantly good. We had the salmon salad, margherita pizza, and pasta bolognese. Good all around. Fresh salmon & arugula, the bolognese was meaty, and the pizza had a crispy bottom, just right.

Just a short walk from the Piazza Navona is this gem of a restaurant. Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. Everyone there was friendly and despite my poor and very non-existent Italian, the staff was amazingly helpful. This place is what travelers want when they visit Rome. Friendly service and amazing Italian food. Crispy Roman Artichoke - This dish seemed so simple. A deep fried artichoke with olive oil and some salt. You literally just eat the whole thing and you won't feel bad about it. It's worth an order. Wonderfully crispy and delicious. Tonnarello - Amazing pasta with huge meatballs. This dish was filling and kids or the inner child in yourself will love it. Excellent execution of ingredients on all fronts. Meatball was well season and you can taste how fresh the meat and sauce was. Ravioli - The ravioli here was in all words amazing. A simple and rustic dish with fresh ingredients. The restaurant lets their fresh ingredients and execution do all the talking for them. Healthy servings of sauce and cheese cover the ravioli making this dish an experience you'll never want to walk away from. Risotto - The flavors in their risotto was on point. Cheese, rice, and mushrooms in this dish were excellent. Rice was cooked al dente if that's the right term. There was some bite or chew to the rice to the point it wasn't all mush despite how much liquid/cheese was in the dish so that it wasn't just a porridge. All in all, this was a great stop for a meal. Authentic Roman cuisine and near a well known part of Rome with plenty to see. It's also just a skip, hop, and a jump away from other sites like the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain.

Delicious food, especially the Meatball cheese, pepper, and potato dish. The best meatballs I've ever had. Covered in a white sauce, incredible. I wish I had a before photo

Loved the cozy atmosphere and friendly servers! The pasta was perfection as well as their focaccia rosemary bread. Highly recommend!

Amazing food and incredible service. Best service we received in Rome. The drinks are bomb. My husband is from South America and he said this place makes the best caipiriña he has ever had. Vegetable cheese platter was huge and pasta was great. Have to give a shout out to Giancarlos. Ask for him! He gave recommendations and provided the most friendly service we received in Rome, period. Muchas gracias mi pana!

I loved this place!!! Drinks and food were both good. The service was excellent. Our waitress tried very hard to ensure we were pleased. Highly recommend.

This place is a tourist trap. You are paying to eat close to the Pantheon. The food is very average. With all the good food in Rome, why eat average food. The service was good and the staff was incredibly friendly, but again, there are many better options.

We were skeptical for waiting in line to be seated for this restaurant. We were rewarded for our patience. I'm a foodie and consider this one of the best Italian restaurant I've eaten at. The service was fast. The Food was Excellent!! The staff were friendly. We tried the focaccia bread it was different than any I'd tried before. It was like a little thicker nan bread. Highly addictive. Ask for the olive oil and balsamic to complement the rosemary focaccia bread. The meatballs and marinara sauce are Great!! The Lasgna is also Amazingly. It's both a local and tourist favorite and I highly recommend going here if u have a chance

Eva was AMAZING! So sweet amazing service and music was awesome. My husband and I found this place the last time we came to Rome in October and made sure to come back again in July. The ravioli was sensational! Highly recommend you go here. If there's a line outside, wait! I promise you won't be disappointed!

food was delicious and our server Alfonso did a great job to suggest items, we had the acacia, lasagna, and fried artichokes. would definitely recommend

Great food and service. Try the meatballs (polpette). Go early to avoid waiting in line.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST RESTARAUNT IN ROME!!! MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AND SHOW THEM SOME LOVE AND EAT EVERYTHING ON THE MENU YOUR HEART DESIRES!!
