We stumbled upon this restaurant while looking online. After multiple disappointments with highly rated restaurants with many reviews, we were a little hesitant. To put it simply: everything was perfect. Honestly, it was the best restaurant we ate at in Rome in four days. To tell you the truth, we often criticized people who returned to the same restaurant during a stay… We went back a second time on our last night.
The service was perfect; you felt like a family was taking care of you. They were friendly (which is quite rare in Rome), gave good advice, and didn't push you to buy anything.
The atmosphere is really nice, in a small alleyway away from the hustle and bustle, with very nice little fairy lights.
The food is truly excellent, prepared while remaining classic Italian, and very reasonably priced! We highly recommend this restaurant. The thoughtful touches, kindness, and warmth are all there. Go there with your eyes closed, as French people love to eat and be treated properly (not always the case in Italy).
A few culinary tips:
The carbonara was the best we've eaten in Italy.
Please try the mushroom molpette; we really went back the second time, largely for this dish.
P.S.: Call them directly; they'll find you a table, even if it's not available online.

28/06/2025: Had an overall good experience for dinner, to start service was good and the waitstaff are kind, friendly, attentive and speak multiple languages.
We really enjoyed the secondi of lamb with white wine sauce and the mussels with tomato, beans, and toasted bread. The mussels were fresh, the broth had a great flavor, and the portion was generous . The lamb was of good quality and the white wine sauce was simple but delicious and well balanced.
Points of improvement:
Lots of seafood dishes had cheese in them which I don’t think is generally accepted by Italians and probably wouldn’t work so well.
we didn’t like the swordfish and tomato pasta (we ordered it without cheese) it was very bland and the tomatoes didn’t have that much flavor (unlike the mussels’ tomato broth) it was also under salted and the portion was quite small.
The portion of bread didn’t come with olive oil but upon request I got some, the oil didn’t have that much flavor, Monini is much better for example.
Overall I would definitely come back for the quality of the service and the quality of the secondi.
