"We discovered this restaurant on our second night in Rome. We came back another three times! The atmosphere is great - very relaxed. The service is amazing and we need to give a special shout out to Moussa and Mohamed. They were exceptional and really looked after us well. The food is excellent too and very reasonably priced. We just love it here and we will definitely be back when we visit Rome next time. Thank you!"

"Absolutely loved our dinner. Sheep skewers for starters were divine. Sorry started eating and then took a photo. 8 on a plate. Then I had a sausage and salami pizza. Thin crusty base they smashed it. Other dinner was Gnocchi with pork ribs and sausage. Again excellent. Friendly and quick service. Great value for your money. Decor is good. Typical pizzeria. Would definitely recommend."

"Ristorante pizzeria was a short walk from our hotel, and a great way to spend our final day in Italy. My wife and I shared a sausage pizza and pasta carbonara. The bread served with our appetizers was soft and paired well with the chili. Mousa was a pleasure to have as our server. When we return to Rome we will be sure to stop here again!"

"Nearby our hotel and we looked at the reviews. From the couple of nearby restaurants, this one had people flowing in and out all night when others were quiet. The pizza and the fish dish were great. Complimentary lemon cello and homemade sweets were lovely. Service was great and a friendly atmosphere. We waited a little longer than normal for the bill but it was busy. The waiter forgot my second Fanta but made up for it unknowingly with the limoncello and friendly conversation. The staff were very focussed on the job and very friendly. You will surely enjoy coming here"

"The best food in all of Rome! We’ve been here 5 times in a row during our stay, and that says it all – there’s simply nothing better. We’ve tried many places, but none could even come close to this one. The service is amazing, always so kind and welcoming, making every visit special. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

"Me and my sister, stubbled across this place while staying in the area, having read reviews and them all being positive, we thought we would give it a try and we were not disappointed. First time we went, it was an evening and as soon as you walked in you could tell how lovely the place was. The staff were extremely friendly and the food was exceptional (see attached photo). This night we were served by the lovely Brian, he was incredible and we had a lovely conversation about the football. At the end of the night we were given a complimentary limoncello shot and a biscuit each. A lovely touch to a lovely night. The second time, was in the afternoon for lunch we were flying out this day. This time we were served by the amazing Mousa, as it was the afternoon, he was the only server and it did get busy however, he was still very attentive making sure we had everything we needed. Even recognised us as we first walked in, this made us feel really welcome. Again food was exceptional and as we weren’t drinking we were given a complimentary mini dessert and biscuit to see us off. Mousa and Brian thank you for making us both feel welcome when we came. Sorry Brian that we didn’t get a photo with you! Ellie and Tia"
