What people say
"A local recommended this typical Roman restaurant and it turned out to be a great choice. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, the staff was very kind and offered us a table that was reserved in an hour. We enjoyed roasted lamb, pasta olio e pepe, a bottle of wine, and tiramisu. The atmosphere was excellent and the price was lower than I expected. Only later at home did I realize they forgot to charge us for the bottle of wine."
