Although the restaurant only had two other parties, we decided to give this place a try. Considering how heavy pasta and pizza is, the three of us shared the Capricciosa Pizza (€9.50) and Spaghetti Carbonara (€9.50) with a bottle of Mineral Water (€2.00). This was the perfect amount for us with no leftovers.
The pizza was pretty plain topped with two slices of prosciutto, a few mushroom and olive bites, and one piece of artichoke. Honestly, it was pretty much a cheese pizza. Despite that, the flavor was still good and the crust was thin and crispy. I actually enjoyed the crust most while dipping it into the balsamic vinegar. As for the carbonara, it was more creamy than one I had the night before, so that was a plus. Although still nothing special, but good.
Overall, it's just another Italian restaurant along the street of Rome. It's not bad, but not that great either. -

Great, English speaking service. Not far from the Colosseum.
Vegan options -- the spaghetti and penne are egg-free and the penne arrabbiata is fully vegan! I didn't ask about their vegetable soups, but they might also be vegan. They had salad options too of course. And bruschetta with olive oil as a starter!!
The bruschetta was good if slightly less than flavorful. I added salt, but garlic or onion would've taken it over the top! The bread was fresh and delicious though. Definitely worth the €2 for a nice starter.
I got the penne arrabbiata which was good! The portion was large for under 10 euro but I wish it had been spicier.
My friend got the steak for €14, he said it was pretty good but be warned that it comes with no sides. Just a steak on a plate.
The other 2 in our group got ravioli with spinach and loved it--though it's worth noting that the portion was noticeably smaller than my penne.
The non-vegans in our party finished with panna cotta and loved it.
We all enjoyed our meal! -

We ate here twice on our visit to Rome.
First visit was just my husband and I popping in without a reservation. She quickly sat us at a table by the window and brought our drinks without pause.
We had mozzarella and prosciutto for appetizer. The size was perfect for two and everything was so fresh! We then split the pasta carbonara which was fabulous. The chef split it to two bowls (nice touch) and flavored perfectly with just the right amount of sauce.
Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. It is untraditionally served in a mug, which gave me pause. However, it too was fresh and every bite had all the flavors together. Perfect!
The cost was not too bad either, it was 75€ for appetizer, meal, 4 drinks, dessert and grappa.
The second visit was with 8 of us - service was still great and food was again fabulous! -

The place probably thinks we were crazy, but this restaurant was located right by our hotel, was a good price point for the area and service was great. We are here three nights in a row out of our eight nights in Rome. We had pastas, pizzas, oven roasted chicken, calamari, fish, it was all really, really delicious. They also pour stiff drinks which is nice after ten plus miles of walking each day and you are ready for bed!
