Jun 25, 2026"Ended up here for dinner after our original restaurant was closed and our experience was everything we could have wanted!! As vegetarians, we had so many options (I recommend the soups, veggie sides, and cacio e pepe). The service was incredible and the vibes were cozy and authentic. It felt like we were eating in a beautiful Italian basement. Definitely will be recommending this place to others!!"

Jun 04, 2026"I stumbled across this restaurant while wandering through Trastevere, and its charming exterior immediately caught my eye. After reading through several menus in the area, this was the only place I found serving Scaloppine al Limone – a dish I had heard was a must-try in Italy. When we arrived around 7:30, the restaurant was already nearly full, but luckily they found us a table. Of course, I had to order the Scaloppine al Limone, along with a few side dishes, and I was so glad I did – everything was delicious, and I was very happy with my choice. I also noticed a few nearby tables ordering pasta dishes, which looked fantastic and definitely something I’d love to try on my next visit. The service was warm, welcoming, and tourist-friendly, which made the whole experience even better. A lovely spot in Trastevere that I’d happily return to when in Rome!"
