Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Fantastic! Hidden gem! Service was top tier, professional, warm and inviting. Menu provided plenty of options for everyone from steak to pizza. Pasta to traditional meat dishes. Home made dishes were plentiful and full of flavor. Desserts are home made and wine list was realistic and offered countless great options. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The other patrons in the restaurant were locals which says a lot about the food and environment. Price per person was reasonable. Can't wait to go back."
"The location of the restaurant is perfect to stop by for some really good food. The service staff were polite and professional and there was zero wait time to get seated and ordered a calzone and a pizza. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet and clean without a lot of noise. This food was AMAZING! It was a great value for the money and would hands down recommend and return."
"Came here on our trip to Florence to grab something to eat before exploring. They were extremely kind and patient with us during our experience and helped us practice our Italian. The food was great! Highly recommend as a great place full of kind people! Aldo was very generous and we would go back again just to see him and his great attitude!!"
"Absolutely loved this place. The food was outstanding, the pasta was deliziosa and the ragù tasted truly authentic, rich and perfectly cooked. The wines were excellent and matched the dishes beautifully. Special thanks to Jenny, who was incredibly friendly and gave us fantastic recommendations that made the experience even better. A must-visit if you’re looking for genuine Italian flavors and great service. I’ll definitely be back."
"very nice staff, they speak as well english if you do not know italian. they served us very quick, no waiting. The food was absolutely delicious. They discuss and advice you about the dishes."
"Aldo and Jenny were fantastic in serving us and providing a welcoming experience. All the plates were incredible: 1. Pappardelle al Ragú was succulent, Al dente, and hearty 2. Pizza al Locano was delicious and filling 3. Panna cotta was fresh and incredible Their wine and limoncello was also a great add and added to the wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place."
"I have tried to re-write this review several times because I can’t think of an opening line to describe how much I loved this place. My parents are from Italy and I’ve been to Italy several times and this might be one of the best Italian meals. In fact, it was so good I forgot to take a photo of the pizza I ordered because we ate it so quickly. The photo of the pasta, too, is taken well into the meal because I was so impressed with the quality of the food - I didn’t want to put it down! Everything tastes fresh & exceptional. The spinach & ricotta ravioli was outstanding and my partner’s fettuccine ai funghi porcini was also so tasty. The mushrooms were in season and the pasta was cooked to perfection. We’d also recommend the dolci - the tiramisu was just as good (if not better) than mamma’s, and the panna cotta was the best I’ve had. This dinner blew all the restaurants in Rome out of the water. And somehow, as perfect as it was, the service was even better. All the waiters were fantastic but Aldo specifically was lovely - he made us feel like old friends . This place was amazing - I’d recommend it to everyone I know and I’m even considering coming back tomorrow. 10/10 - perfect score."
"This was hands down the best food we had in Italy! The staff was friendly and the food was incredible. We ordered the caprese salad, the spinach and ricotta ravioli, and the spaghetti al pomodoro - all of which were top tier. We told them it was our honeymoon and the brought us a digestif after we payed for our meal! As we were leaving they told us "we just pride ourselves on making really good food" and they really do make the best food!"
