    Very lively place. Great house wine, reasonably priced (seafood portions are not that big, though). Seafood risotto was really tasty and cheap (8 EUR).

    Excellent food. Anything with fish is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. Try the deserts too. Can be really crowded, so make a booking before you go.

    Very good fresh seafood and delicious pasta. Portions are rather small especially the fresh fish.. Quite pricy for the small dishes.. But great taste

    Very tasty carbonara, polite waiter and affordable meals, on the other side the roman dish with cooked oxtail was disastrous.

    Very very small portions. If you want to get full, keep searching for another place. But if you want to taste traditional italian tastes, I can recommend. Little bit expensive for small plates.

    A lovely "Hostaria", where you can taste a wonderful fish, enjoy a very accommodating staff, leave a calm and happy atmosphere. Don't forget asking for "orecchiette con gamberetti e rughetta" !!!

    There are thousands of places better than this in Rome. This place is not awuful but not good at all as well. Not cheap at as they say and not even such a good food.

    В основном, это ресторан с морепродуктами. Есть десерты. По ценам: салат (Зеленый)-4 евро , паста, ризотто -8 евро, вторые блюда из морских гадов 10-14 евро. Очень популярно среди местных

    Спасибо Foursquare за возможность посещать такие места ) Кафе заполнилось за 15 минут. Оно после сиесты открывается в 19.15, так в 19.30 уже все столики были заняты. Кухня и обслуживание на 5+

    Buffet de antepasto, tradicional pão italiano, a massa é divina! Al dente, gostinho caseiro. Pedi com frutos do mar. Maravilhoso! Bom atendimento. Harmonizei com vinho da casa. Um pecorino branco.

    Очень дружелюбный персонал, невероятно вкусная еда — морепродукты на гриле, ризотто, паста с ракушками. В 9 вечера все столики были заняты и очередь в 10 человек на улице. Обязательно рекомендую.
