"the first thing that comes to mind thinking about this wonderful wedding favor in the heart of roma is elegance. elegance and sophistication are the guiding thread of this beautiful experience that you breathe just through the entrance to the choice of wooden furnishings, in copper details, in the professionalism of the staff, in the refinement of raw materials and in the creativity of a visionary chef and all his fantastic staff. we opted for interlude, a 4-course course available only at lunch that I find very interesting because it allows to try a high-level restaurant at an affordable price (85 euros) especially for the prices of the capital. the thing I really liked is that there are no seasonal fixed menus, but everything varies depending on the availability of raw materials and the imagination of the chef. This means that today's menu will never be the same as tomorrow, and it is something almost no restaurant does. Thus the path dedicated to us was entirely surprising and touched the influences that characterized the cuisine of the chef: east, Italy, France. all perfectly balanced, gorgeous, elegant, wise and never pretentious. in the order we ate: a dumpling reminiscent of the real gnomes of the Chinese tradition, but leaving a unique explosion of goto, never explored; a ditch of indivia and avocado with two emulsions to represent yin and yang (white with gin, the second done with the smoke of the indivia,) a very special goto but the only dish that did not excite me asks to follow the cacio and pepper. I would suggest that the knife is returned to the waiter and bringing a ham in return, which would be enough to cut the meat. To conclude also the dessert was incredible, and this rarely happened to me in restaurants of this caliber. in this case the pastry keeps high the taste carousel. for the final we were offered of the small pastry also this very pleasant and very appreciated. We got up in a satisfactory way and waited. I didn't give two stars for two reasons: the first is that I found a little excessive the average prices of the wine card (from 70 euros) and in general embroidery on drinks (water to 7 euros); the second is that I would have liked the welcome aperitif that is usually offered in this type of restaurant. probably is not included in the dining room menu as it is considered a business lunch; However I think it might be a good idea to include those fingerfoods welcome in the intermezzo menu; they do not steal more than 10 minutes to the commensali but surely do so much pleasure to the customer, making it well prepared for the experience and often tell the soul of the place in small curious moments of pleasure. for the same reason we enjoyed the welcome of pomegranate and pink, sweet and small pastry, both delicious and offered by the kitchen. recommended! I will definitely return to try a larger menu because it really deserves so much for the kindness and friendliness of all the staff and for the surprise you taste at every goto. soon"

"We visited this restaurant, three times during our visit to Rome. The first two occasions were very good. Service was excellent and food was great. For this reason, and as it was local to where we were staying, we went for a third time. Unfortunately on our last visit we received awful service. Food was served at different times by this I mean one plate for main course served and the other one arriving five minutes later. The same thing happened with dessert. The waiter then disappeared by the side of the restaurant holding what seemed to be cigarettes. As there was nobody there and we wanted to go and after waiting for over 15 minutes I went to the till to ask for the bill. I was not given a bill, I was just told an amount. I asked for the bill. Unfortunately I didn’t have my glasses with me and when I left, it was pointed out that I was overcharged for two drinks. By this I mean, instead of being charged for small Peronis which we had, I was actually charged for large Peronis which were approximately €6 more. I decided not to return to the restaurant as the person at the till was grumpy and rude and acted as if they were doing me a favour by producing the bill. It would have been pointless explaining the error. It was such a shame, as prior to this we had received excellent service and great food. If you go there, you may be better sitting to the left as you walk through the door (better service that side) and also be very vigilant and check your bill."

"al tramonto di una calda giornata di agosto Roman, scopriamo -qualsiasi caso - questo ristorante, situato in una zona molto tranquilla di roma, lontano dalle caotiche destinazioni turistiche. ci siediamo e siamo accolti da una cameriera che mostra subito la sua gentilezza e preparazione. Ordiniamo tutti i pesci, che hanno cotto crudo. Che dire del menu, semplicemente favoloso. Ho provato personalmente la selezione di crudi: un piatto eccezionale, per qualità delle materie prime e per presentazione. Lo descriverei anche, più di un semplice piatto, come una vera esperienza di sapori, con un gusto delicato e delicato di calamari, al dolce dei gamberi rossi ai sapori più decisi della curcciola; tutto impreziosito dallo chef con abbinamenti di salse straordinarie. concludiamo con un dessert: un sorbetto per la pesca, preparato al momento, in una parola: delizioso. il sole ora è andato, il giorno inizia alla sua fine, così come la nostra cena in vita. Salutiamo e ci aspettiamo ancora per roma avendo trovato un ristorante straordinario, avendo apprezzato un menu di qualità e conosciuto, anche se per un po 'di lato di roma per noi inediti, non nascosti, ma direi vero. vero e concreto come il ristorante è vivo e, sembra buono: non vero nel senso di enfaticamente appellante alle tradizioni, o presunto tale; ma, tra l'altro, nel proporre un menu di qualità e nell'accogliere l'ospite."
