The good:
The staff speak English very well.
The place is cute and well decorated.
The tiramisu was pretty good and very boozy (although not fantastic as some other reviews have stated.)
It's close to Termini and Villa Borghese which makes it convenient if you're in the area.
The bad:
Our original waiter never put in our orders. We waited a half hour for our cheese board before finally asking the waitress what was going on. She told us our order was ready, walked away, only to come back a few minutes later and ask us for our entire order again (without even looking at a menu again). Meanwhile, this whole time we had been waiting, second courses were pouring out left and right from the kitchen. After another 10 minutes or so, our cheese board finally came. Then, before we could even finish the cheeseboard, both of our first courses came out.
The food itself was ok. Not terrible, but definitely not the best Italian food I've ever had, and certainly not worth the wait. For the same price, you can find much more generous and tasty dishes at other restaurants.
When my boyfriend's second course came, they gave him the wrong side. We understood that this happened because our original waiter, who had talked my boyfriend into trying the local greens as a side, never put in our order, and the waitress who came and helped us didn't ask about the side, but it did not add to our enjoyment of the night at all.
While we were eating, we also noticed that some of the waiters were drinking wine near the cash register. This seemed very unprofessional to me, but maybe things are just done differently here than other restaurants I've been to. Thankfully the kind waitress (who honestly seemed to be doing the jobs of everyone else: cleaning tables, taking orders, serving dishes, etc.) made sure that we got served.
