“Exceptional cooking”
Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

Small intimate family restaurant. Food is cooked by mamma and papa served by son. We wish we had tried it on our first night in Rome. It's a must and catered for both the vegetarian and meat eater in the group. Food is excellent and so underpriced. You would pay the same for a mediocre pub meal in England miss the wine. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

“Wonderful night with my wife”
Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

We came for a nice quite meal and we're amazed at the service and the food. It is recommended that you reserve a table in advance. We saw at least six groups turned away for not having one.

“Al dente”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile

First night at rome. Decided to check this restaurant out, they were booked out but still got a table for us (we didnt go on a rush hour). Cheese platter for starters 2 can eat fairly well from that and cheeses were absolutely delicious. Main course pasta was one of the best that we've ate. Staff was very friendly, definately recommend!! Bill was really friendly for your wallet.

“June 2017. I always will remember my first visit of Rome.”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I always will remember my first visit of Rome. The restaurant impressed me by its domestic energetic. It was like I have come to my mom or grandma and she has cooked me her best dishes. Miles and his family exceeded all expectations in house speciality. The meal was the highest quality and taste!

“Like home”
Reviewed 3 weeks ago via mobile

This is a small and cozy family restaurant. The staff makes sure you feel welcomed and comfortable. They're very passionate about the place and the food they serve.
We decided to try the signature dish, tamburello, and I was pleasantly surprised since it tasted just like mom's homemade stew, away from home. Just my kind of food: simple and tasty. By the end of it, we couldn't possibly fit dessert, sadly. You definitely won't be leaving hungry.

Even if it's a bit away from the center, I recommend a visit. Book in advance if you want to eat outside.
