"Seafood extravaganza! Friendly staff, very large portions and extremely reasonable priced. Authentic Italian food where locals eat and enjoy ."
"This place is awesome! Great range of dishes but the big star is fish here. Enjoy"
"Omg, if u never been to Italy, know that everyone works at their own pace, it takes what seems forever to take Ur order, but at this place, the service was just like in América, in fact we got a waiter from Venezuela, he was very nice, spoke spanish, and when we asked for chile, because there is no picante in Europe, so he knew exactly what to brings us, food was delicious and in good proportions, in fact we shared 2 boxes (Main Dish and 3 sides, each box), it is on the xpensive side, but believe me when u spent 3 hours at the Vaticano museum and u r very hungry, the location is just in from of it and know that they will serve u on time and u Will be satisfied. I highly recommend it."
"Food was outstanding, portions huge! Service excellent! We will definitely return!"
"Scoperto tramite amici - si trova in una via a Prima porta non di passaggio. Sembra più una locanda, non è moderna ma stole antico - ha ancora l'insegna con il telefono senza il prefisso . Pizza romana ( non la amo particolarmente), devo dire che mi ha stupito, rimane abbastanza morbida. Pizza molto grande , ho fatto fatica a finirla, me la sono portato a casa e il giorno dopo era ancora buona x essere una pizza romana !!! Molto condita e ingredienti buoni ! I camerieri molto gentili. Prezzi pochino alti per la zona, ma alla fine rapportati ala qualità e alla bontà devo dire che vanno bene. Da ritornarci sicuramente. - hanno un piccolo parcheggio privato ma il fine settimana meglio optare per parcheggio su strada Consiglio di trovare parcheggio a qualche minuto a piedi, davanti al ristorante c'è pochissimo parcheggio"
"Excellent food and service. Fantastic seafood dining"
"Really miss this place. A hidden little gem in northern Rome. Linguine all'Astice are phenomenal. Delicious pizza selection - Ortolana being my favorite. Fantastico!"
