"Just a stone's throw from Piazza Barberini, this simple, friendly, family-run restaurant has just a few tables arranged close together." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Many Italians consider the cuisine of the Emilia Romagna region to be the country's best. Try it for yourself, lovingly prepared by a family, oddly enough, from the Marche region."
Travel + Leisure "Inside, the simply decorated space resembles a relaxed family dining room, which is perfect for its menu of Emilia Romagna region dishes—in other words, the cornucopia of Italy's best cuisine." Full review
Frommer's "This family-owned restaurant tucked in an alley beside the Trevi Fountain has been serving traditional dishes from Emilia-Romagna since 1931" Full review
Eater "A short walk from the Trevi Fountain, this friendly trattoria has been serving satisfying dishes from Emilia-Romagna, a region in northeastern Italy, since 1931; the current owners took the helm in 1967"
