"Just awesome. The quality of the food is extremely high, seafood spaghetti and carbonara are awesome, like the vin Santo. Staff is awesome, especially Bryan, although the service from the other employees could be improved....ask for the Grappa. Outstanding"

"Absolutely fantastic food the best meal we have had in Orbetello . Very quirky but the service is very slow when they are busy. I would recommend the wonderful slow cooked pasta Ragu and the lamb chops were delicious. Wine in a carafe was very good. They have a lovely seating area outside. Worth booking a table in advance to ensure a visit."

"Wonderful roman food. We started with fried artichokes & zucchini flowers. Then pasta, the carbonara, cacio e pepe & gripepe (which I'd never tried before but was peppery and delicious!). House wine was great."

"We had the spaghetti cacio e pepe and the spaghetti frutti di mare. Both were delicious. Quaint little restaurant a bit hidden away from the traffic of the main street. Good family vibe with beautiful little outdoor patio. Limited inside and even more limited seating outside. Owner and staff were very friendly. You could tell this was a family business. Highly recommended."

"A simple restaurant with amazing food. Here you can enjoy typical food from Rome in a very relaxed environment. We ordered carciofi alla romana (artichokes), bucatini amatriciana, pasta alla gricia, coda alla vaccinara and saltimbocca alla romana. All food was delicious and cooked with premium ingredients. Staff is very flexible and kids friendly. We really enjoyed the food experience and highly recommend it."
