This was a small little bistro that my girlfriend and I found online. I saw the amazing reviews, and wanted to make sure to try it. The location is quite tiny - maybe 10 chairs in total between indoor and outdoor seating. This was quite comfortable as there was only a few other people there at the time.
Service was spectacular. The kind woman running the show (I assume the owner) was very attentive and checked up on us constantly to make sure everything was right.
For drinks, we ordered a coke and a Hugo Spritz. The size of the Hugo Spritz was actually very generous (I believe it was only 10 euro as well) and you could stop here even if you just wanted a quick drink for such a good deal. I'd go back just for the drink - probably the most generous spritz I've received in Rome. As for the food, my girlfriend ordered one of the "unique dishes" - a risotto, which she really enjoyed. Although it differs greatly from the risotto that I am used to, I appreciated the willingness to experiment with the food and flavor. It worked out great. As for me, I ordered the Lasagna. I'm used to eating American Lasagna which is typically a letdown, but this lasagna was fresh, packed with meat and cheese, and bursting with flavor from the fresh sauce. I finished the whole plate and was so full I wasn't sure I would be able to walk home (a good thing!)
Overall, this place is a hidden gem - as it is such a tiny establishment, it is easy to miss. The impeccable service and fantastic food make it a must-try if you're...
Read moreThis was the best restaurant we went to during our Italy trip a few weeks ago both from a taste and hospitality perspective! We came into a modern, clean, but empty dining area. The owner was super sweet and despite a slight language barrier we were able to get our order in.
We were extremely hungry after a day of walking around Rome, so started with the aperitivo, thinking it would be just a drink and maybe one item. To our surprise, the dishes kept coming - three wonderful dishes including the waffle with ham pictured in this review. Every dish was more delicious than the last.
We were stuffed by then but we had also ordered two mains before we realized how much food we were getting, so I had the grilled chicken and my partner had the pasta. Both were amazing. To top it off, at the end we received a complimentary gelato which we agreed was the best we had ever had. Rarely do you leave a restaurant both dreaming about the food you had and warmed by the wonderful hospitality. This bistro will give you exactly that. We definitely recommend...
Read moreWhat a find! Dining here felt like eating a home-cooked meal with family. Flora is truly a gem—she welcomed us as if we were her own.
We came in for a simple lunch, but she kept surprising us with little treats ‘for the baby’ (my wife is pregnant—though Flora insisted on treating me too!). She shared fresh mozzarella that had just arrived—four generous slices—along with fresh bread topped with bruschetta and even guacamole.
When she learned it was my wife’s birthday, she brought out pancakes with fresh fruit, sang Happy Birthday, and opened a new bottle of rosé so we could all toast together.
I’ve traveled a lot, but I’ve never experienced this kind of genuine hospitality. This is Italy at...
