"This place was probably our favorite meal during our week long trip in Rome! From previous pictures, it looks like the restaurant has been remodeled quite a bit with a brand new menu. We made a dinner reservation for 8 people and they were able to seat us promptly upon arriving. The restaurant snakes through room after room, and we ended up sitting in the back which was an interesting and fun environment as the walls and ceilings are filled with people's names and whatever else they wanted to write. Definitely not what we were expecting. Our waiter spoke English, who was incredibly attentive throughout the whole meal, was happy to explain the menu and any questions we had. After ordering, he brought out some complimentary freshly made mozzarella that was lightly fried. It was absolutely incredible and made for a perfect appetizer to our appetizers. Along with the house wine (real deal as the red had no bottle labels), we ordered a couple different appetizers such as melon and prosciutto, the artichoke, and a couple other things. For my entree I opted for the bistecca cooked medium and it was absolutely perfect. Simple yet full of flavor! It also came with a side of rosemary roasted potatoes that were out of this world. The pasta dishes as well were an absolute hit with everyone else at the table. We ordered every dessert and while all of them were incredible, the tiramisu ever so slightly took the lead. Probably the best tiramisu we had in Rome! They even brought out complementary chocolate chip biscotti and even some house made Lemonchello! Everything was absolutely incredible, from the service to the food. We cannot recommend this place enough and will be sure to visit every time we're back in Rome!"

No hygiene approach. I'm going to take a bath and then you know that your food is not good too. My girlfriend got sick at dinner.

I don't think it was called anymore, I went because there was written externally Spaghetteria or similar...in fact I enjoyed excellent spaghetti and a well combined salad.

Very good lunch near Vatican. Food was excellent but there was 15% so heads up. The house specialties are great. the ravioli and the fettucine with an orange cream sauce are fantastic.

I was very disappointed with the meal. The spaghetti sauce was watery and lacked flavor. The bacon could not have been fresh. I am confused by the reviews but it appears the meals here are hit or miss. This was the worst spaghetti I can recall since high school cafeteria. Enough said.

Historic family-run Capital restaurant. The best selection of traditional Italian cuisine in San Pietro area, Vatican Museums. Cozy and air-conditioned room with outdoor seating. Lasagne, spaghetti but also pizza, salads, ice creams and salads. Excellent Amatriciana. Available convenience menus for families and large groups. Thanks and congratulations to Antonio to his cheerful family who have been carrying out the activity since 1984.The best wishes.

The food and service were exceptional! The gentleman running the front of the house was very kind and happy to answer any questions we had. I had the Fettuccine alla Bastione (fettuccine in an orange cream sauce. It's, by a large margin, the best thing I've had on our trip! We also tried the house special ravioli, the roasted chicken and potatoes, and the grilled eggplant. All were wonderful! I highly recommend this place if you are anywhere near the Vatican.

Went out of our way to look for this place after attending the Papal audience. Although it's quite a walk from St. Peter's Square, it is right at the corner going to the Vatican Museum. It's on a busy street but the food is definitely good, home made, and fresh! We tend to share dishes so we ordered mushroom stuffed ravioli, spaghetti alla vongole, risotto with seafood, and fettucine. I thought the fettucine with a hint of orange and was very good! The ravioli too was very tasty. The owners were very sweet and told us they've known Rick Steves for 27 years. Husband and wife team were very proud of their cooking and it shows. He said his wife makes the desserts every morning. If you're in the...

This was our first night of our first stay in Rome, and a friend and I decided to go off a Rick Steves suggestion and try this restaurant. I would say it's just so-so. Definitely not the best Italian we've had during our adventures through Italy, but we were hungry and it got the job done. I had the fettuccini with orange creame sauce (based on other recommendations saying how good it was). I thought it was an interesting combination and ate all on my plate, but would probably never order again. My friend had the ravioli and also said it was just ok. We've had better quality meals that consisted of more and cost less during our stay in Italy. I would say if you are close and wanting a quick...
