When in Rome ... we adjusted to the 'eat dinner at 10,' and got seated at 10:30pm on their front patio, warm with a gentle breeze. The people friendly and accommodating, smiles all around. We ordered their signature Amatriciana with bucatini, the tuna salad with radicchio, olives, rocket, which we dressed with the balsamic vinegar and EVO, salt and pepper. Then came the next course, which they brought out simultaneously with the secondi: the beef entrecôte with truffle sauce and roasted potatoes. We finished with their classic tiramisu and chocolate panda cotta. I did not like either dessert--the tiramisu was custard laden with no discernible rum and no mascarpone. The panda cotta did not have the aspic consistency I associate with the dish. But my husband gobbled down both desserts, so maybe it's for those who like sweet with their sweets. The Amatriciana was heavenly, creamy bacony nourishing goodness in a bowl. Simple and al dente doesn't get better than this. The tuna salad I've had better, the tuna not as well oil cured as I would've liked but the vinegar livened it. The olives, btw, were canned. Why? When this is the land of olives. The steak was fantastic, served sizzling on a skillet with excellent rosemary potatoes, not oily and the beef grilled to perfection, bits of black truffle on it. The service was spectacular, warm and sweet, welcoming and jocular. A very pleasant and relaxing final dinner in Roma:-)
