"A nondescript, family-run neighborhood trattoria in Testaccio that feels like a movie set — checkered tablecloths, ceramic plates on the walls and a crowded bar — where classic, time-tested Roman recipes are still followed. The gregarious matriarch runs a tightly focused menu of roughly five primi and five secondi, and the kitchen exudes the heady, comforting smells of garlic, herbs and olive oil used to enrich rustic cuts and vegetables. The facade is easy to miss, reinforcing the spot’s unpretentious, generational character rather than any tourist-driven polish." - Eric J. Lyman
This was very near our rental when visiting Rome. It seems to be a popular neighborhood family restaurant. We ate outside, were well taken care of by our waiter (despite us not speaking Italian and him not speaking English), and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The chicken cacciatore was really tasty!

The Amatriciana pasta and the Roasted veal were also very delicious. Nice service and pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. The restaurant was full, but we still got our food quickly.

Had an excellent lunch today. Shared a romantic style artichoke, anchovies dressed vegetable and then cacio e Pepe (Best I’ve had in Italy) and Rigatoni Arrabbiata … loved it!

We tried the carbonara, the amatriciana, ad the lamb (abbacchio), and everything was incredible! I highly recommend the carbonara as it was one of the best carbonara I have ever had!

Classic Roman dishes (no pizza!) with excellent service, superb wine selection and in-house sommelier. Try the carciofi alla romana (artichokes), abbacchio al forno (roast lamb), pollo di cacciatore (rustic chicken), or polpette (meatballs). Conveniently located in Testaccio and a favourite of locals.

A first class restaurant. For 10 persons, the full menu with starter, first, second, dessert and drinks was served fast and without a single chance for us to complain. It may be more expensive than average in Rome, but it is worth it. Carbonara is a must try.

Second dishes are good and tasty, but pastas are not so special, not the fresh ones. It tastes like the normal pasta from supermarket with tomato sauce. There is no vino di casa (most of restaurants have in Italy), you should choose from the wine list. Waiters are very professional and good.

A lovely little restaurant with delicious food and very jovial wait staff. Definitely recommend for an affordable meal out in Rome! The Mozzarella was to die for 😍
