Two locations in the historic centre — Colosseum and Navona. Hand-pulled fresh pasta, family recipes, and the dishes that have made visitors fall in love with our city for generations.
Minutes apart, but with two different souls. Same family, same morning-pulled pasta, same pecorino — two very different Roman neighbourhoods.
Our original location, a stone's throw from the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Exposed brick, tables on the cobblestones and forty seats that feel like an extended family lunch.
More recently opened, in the tangle of alleys between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Same kitchen, same family, same morning-pulled pasta — a more intimate room.
No reservations — just walk in, sit down and eat. Open every day from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm, including off-peak hours. The queue moves fast and the service is Roman: blunt and quick.
Genuine reviews from Google and TripAdvisor — from travellers who found us while wandering Rome's back streets.
“Hands down, the BEST meal I've had in Italy! Anything off the menu is absolutely delicious.”
“The best carbonara I've ever had. A must-stop to taste real Roman dishes.”
“Tucked away from the main road in a side alley — when there's a line but nobody trying to usher you in, you know it's a gem.”
“Superlative Roman pasta, flawless. It felt like having lunch with family.”
For company dinners, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties or tourist groups up to 40 people, we can reserve the whole room.
For company dinners, birthdays, bachelor/ette parties or tourist groups up to 40 people, we reserve the entire room. Tailored menu, house wine, and the feeling of dining at a Roman friend's home.
Both locations are within walking distance of the main attractions of the centre. Take Metro Colosseo (line B) or Spagna/Barberini (line A) and a short walk.
