We had a long lunch, sat outside looking into the street, shared a bottle of wine and ordered the Roman arancini for starter then the basil pesto pasta and the sausage and celery pasta. Arancini was outstanding, possibly the best I've had, cheesy gooey crispy. Perfect. Pasta was el dente so that was great. Pesto needed a bit of salt but otherwise both were yum. Would try another off the menu next time. Only reason for 4 stars is we think they forgot our food order since we waited 40min - no apology until we paid - seemed to be a one off since other tables were prompt. Would still go back again!!

I would give 6 stars if I could. The gnocchi was perfect. They tasted like little pillows of potato that melted in my mouth. The cannolo was very tasty (I took the picture in the middle of eating it because I forgot) as well and I really like that they have the kitchen open later on the weekend. The wait staff were so helpful and kind, they understood that I couldn't chew and relayed that to the kitchen so the meal was cooked perfectly for me. They were also really thoughtful about what I might be able to eat.

We called for an early dinner before the Rooftop Cinema nearby. Without a reservation we managed to get a seat right out front, facing the street. The menu is limited in choice but the dishes we had were outstanding. Duck ragu. Oh my word. If I had one dish left in life it would be this. Heaven on a plate. The spaghetti with calamari was excellent and the wines by the glass hit just the right spot. We can't wait to return.

I went on a Friday night and booked an early table beforehand and had high expectations as a friend recommended the restaurant. The service staff were very nice and attentive. Unfortunately, my truffle pasta dish was served cold, and my other friends were not so impressed with their different pasta dishes. My arancini and tiramisu were ok. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good but I doubt that I would go again as we all left disappointed with the main pasta dishes.
