    Small restaurant with amazing atmosphere. I lived in Rome for a period so my standards for Italian food are pretty high. THIS MET THAT LEVEL. The food was authentic and so was the service. The owner (I'm assuming) greeted each party with a "Ciao!" The food was top notch too. We got the Arancini Catanesi to start. Felt like I was back in Trastevere. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and noise level was energetic but not hectic. Would definitely come back during the spring/summer to sit out on the balcony.

    This was a second visit to this restaurant. Comfy atmosphere; it’s as if you’re in the living room of a good friend’s house. The Grilled Lamb Shops were delicious. Portions are not too big to not able to finish your meal, but not too smal to leave still hungry. Service was very good, although the butter for the bread we asked for was never brought, but most likely because waiters were very busy. Understandable and forgivable. That will not stop us to dining there again.
