“ The food here is great especially the carbonara. Also, Simon is super friendly and helpful. Best place to relax after the Vatican! ”
“ We were in the mood for some steak and we ran to this cute little bistro. Wow food was yummy and fresh. Our waiter Simon was amazing. He had great customer service and had amazing recommendations. We were too full to order dessert but he convinced us and yes we had the best tiramisu by far. ”
“ A little bit hidden in a side street, yet still very close to Vatican City, this small restaurant offers excellent quality for reasonable prices. We've been here for a late lunch when many restaurants are taking an afternoon break (so we have only limited places to eat), but we have been amazed. Food was delicious, drinks strong , and Simon, our waiter, was very polite and quick. I can recommend this restaurant. If I get a chance to revisit Rome, I will definitely come back here. ”
“ Don't believe the other reviews when they say it's a tourist trap. Coperto is always included in service. The food was good and friendly service. I liked it! Shout-out to Simon as well ;) ”
“ Been here twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. Food was great both times! Also one of the staff, Simon, was very nice throughout and also remembered us after a few days which is always a good feeling. Would for sure recommend coming here! ”
