Not worth the hype. We were seated fairly quickly, but they pack you in like sardines because it’s a tourist trap. Our waiter seemed annoyed by our existence, but I can assure you we are very polite and quiet people compared to many others there so it was uncalled for. He was probably just tired because his shift ended right after we got our food, which is no problem at all except no one told us or came back to check up on us ever. We did finally flag a waiter and asked for the bill, but he replied by reminding us we hadn’t finished our food yet. Clearly we knew we hadn’t cleaned our plates, but I was very full. Many other places we’ve been to in Italy frown upon ordering one meal and sharing, but I guess this place is the exception. The family next to us was encouraged to share entrees amongst the table. We did eventually get a box, which is nice because not everywhere in Italy will provide that. I would’ve loved a second drink or dessert, but it wasn’t happening. We were there for so long in the heat just waiting. And again, it’s because they pack you in tight and the poor servers just can’t keep up with it. The food and drink was good but there’s a lot of restaurants in Rome that are far more appealing.

We were seated fairly quickly. The food was served quickly and was delicious, our waiters Inara and Liliana took very good care of us and we loved our meal as the prices were great and the food is very fresh.

The only remark to the management is that’s the queue to the toilet was very long though and it would be a lot better if all toilets were made gender neutral as at the moment there is a single queue for men and women, so men wait in the queue anyway, and ladies don’t use the men’s toilet, therefore the line is unproductive and moves very slowly.

Absolutely amazing place, it’s a ‘must to visit’ in the area.
Delicious food at very good prices. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and dishes very well made.
Very friendly and efficient service. In peak times there is a queue, which moves pretty quick due to big capacity of the place.
The only problem area was a toilet which requires waiting. Maybe making toilets gender neutral would partly solve the issue as there were a few men waiting in the queue while women did not want to use male toilets so it was available.
I would like to thank Liliana and Inara for the great service and useful recommendations.

Very good service, perfect spot. The food was delicious and the drink is also nice. We don’t have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table for 4.
Two small things. The steak quality was good, but the cooking technique needs some practice and the toilet was very small for this big restaurant.

The restaurant is very busy but very well organized as well. We waited to be seated 15’ which was not bad considering how long the queue was. Their staff is very cordial. The restaurant is pretty big and there’s many tables I would recommend it if you have little children. The food is a 10/10 the pasta quality is beyond. It’s a classic in Rome and if you’re looking for a traditional meal this is the place.
Unfortunately the higiene of the toilets was terrible and I could even smell the bad odor from the corridor.
