It’s a cute little restaurant that can only seat about 12 people at a time, hence there is always a line up. But the service is quick and they take your order while you wait out in line. We went to celebrate my husband’s graduation. Food was the best we had in Rome. And not a tourist trap. We had the ravioli and pesto gnocchi with the carpets salad. 5 stars for all 3 dishes.

An absolute highlight of our trip! I had the fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms and it was incredibly rich and flavorful, while my wife’s ravioli with ricotta and spinach was light, fresh, and authentic. We topped it all off with their tiramisu, which was easily the best we've ever had. There was a bit of a wait to get in, but it was absolutely worth every minute. If you want a true taste of artisanal pasta, this is the place!

Tiny restaurant a few minutes walk from Saint Peters with perhaps 5-6 tables.Luckily managed to get a table. This was the best carbonara I have ever tasted and the pricing was also extremely reasonable considering how good the location was. Loved the lasagna too. Not far from Castel St Angelo either.

Great food, i had the parmesan eggplant as an appetizer then 2 pasta dishes everything was amazing. We did wait about an hour and a half to get in as the restaurant only has about 6 or 7 tables. So you have to wait for people to eat and leave. If you have time i recommend it 100%

Amazing food! I would have expected to be loud inside as I waited a short while standing outside, but it was quiet and cozy. I could enjoy the food much more and it was really mindblowingly good. I know I really love a dish when I eat it slow, almost as if the food is fragile. The service was impeccable too and you can order before going in. The food came piping hot when it got to my table so don't worry about ordering prior getting inside.

Fist day in Rome and this little amazing restaurant popped up on Google maps... to be honest it doesnt look like much from the outside but wow did we get blown away with the food and service. You will need to que but hey its worth it, you even ordered your food at the curb if you que so once you get in the restaurant you have a minimal wait for your food This fantastic little find only has 14 seats and you will expect it to be huge inside... its not Fantastic for taking that special person too, atmosphere is serene so calm and chilled. Highly recommend and we will see if we have time for a second visit tomorrow. Tha k you guys for such a relaxed and enjoyable time.

The best meal near Vatican. It's worth the wait. We've been here three times, and still never get bored. The waitress is very friendly, even recognize us the second we got there, even the detail of our orders. I recommended this place!

Walked in this small restaurant on weekday early evening and it was already 80% full. Small tables with tall chairs. Old deco but cozy vibes. Simple menu in English. Would charge an extra EUR2 if need to change to another house-made pasta. Reasonable price and decent portions. Very delicious indeed. Suitable for a rather quick stop for food. The electricity went out a couple of times throughout our meal. It was not quite disturbing as I imagined. We still got our food served and the power came back shortly after.
