Update of the initial review: After having dinner here 3 times, I absolutely love this place and its people. It was always the same good food and perfect service. Good food is not unusual for us. We love food and constantly search for places where we can satisfy our tastes and appetites. But the service like here is very rare.

Read moreTourist trap. These kind of places are damaging the whole city's restaurant scene. You basically enter a very shabby garden, they sit you and let you wait ages. The waiters are rude ("you can't order now, everyone wants to"), they serve you a hard piece of bread with tomatoes (I wouldn't call it bruschetta) and, again, let you wait. The menu is ridiculous, the food lame, no quality at all. Tables served partially. Terrible. A place like this simply shouldn't exist nowadays in a European capital such as Rome, not in that blessed location. Avoid it and do you a favour: bring sandwiches, fruit and water to eat outside....
