I've visited this restaurant every time I've been to Rome for the past 2 years. The food is really good and authentic and portions are huge. You can choose from 3 different sizes of pasta dishes (even the small one is huge for 1 person). The porchetta is also great and I tried the Tiramisu last time and it did not disappoint. I'd suggest making a reservation at least a day earlier and be prepared that sometimes for bigger reservations on the weekend you'll wait longer than your arranged time. The food is really worth the wait though!

We arrived on a rainy evening before opening time (19:30) but were very kindly received. We ordered mix salad as stater to share and spaghetti with clams plus fried shrimps and calamari to share as main. We enjoyed every minute!!! Very recommended…

Wow, another amazing dining experience in Rome. This time, a very Roman restaurant with all of the typical dishes (amatriciana, carbonara, cacio pepe, etc) as well as antipasti's and second courses. The pasta and meatballs were some of the best I've experienced in Rome! The portions are massive so be careful, I asked for a "piccola" of the pasta and still could barely finish it. The meatballs were some of the best I've ever had. Service was amazing, good vino. Highly recommended!

My second time after 8 years. Still as impressive, the food is delicious and extraordinary catered only for the locals.

If you want both an authentic Italian and authentic Roman Italian, this is the place. The resteraunt is just full of local Italians, no tourists really, and the reason for this is you have to book well in advance, which we fortunate as we were being hosted by Italian friends who live in Rome. The food was absolutely sensational!! The pasta comes in three portions sizes and the portions are massive, so stick to the 160g is advised. We must have had 10 various dishes, which were all individually incredible. The bread comes in a brown paper bag, which all adds to the experience, which the evening certainly was. Undoubtedly the greatest Italian meal we've ever had, and what an atmosphere!!!

Good food, easy to get in when other places were busy but that didn’t mean it wasn’t worth it. Pasta portions were huge. Pictured is the small size. Meatballs were okay. It was warm even inside
