"the clown has enshrined the end of a beautiful week full of the stars, and should have formed a four-course lunch. The absence of the paper has pushed me to dare more, opting for the great classics of the chef contained in the menu footprints, and I am very happy with the choice. Note: to be so “ciechi”, in front of an important expense, it is not however pleasure: If I hadn’t loved so much every dish, I would bring some regret in my heart for the outburst... These are the dishes that, in a room of stupendous minimal elegance, the contrast between wooden furniture and abstract artistic elements is perfect accompanied the last lunch of the Roman holiday *amus bouche really many and varied. I also loved them, so I mention the only two that remained in my mind only because the memory does not allow to mention all flans with water of cannolicchi, roasted lemon cream, black chickpeas, roveja seeds and clams to the scapece- tartelletta with rice cream, beef and cool mangoche:! not loving zucchini, I will remember the dish especially for the splendid combination with figs. Peel and thigh of pigeons, beaten and marinated with anchovy and covered with octopus and octopus jelly; accompanied by fegatini with blueberries and octopus: the pigeon is both tasty and very delicate; is not the usual (delicious) game but a elaborate and complex dish. I loved it from iyo, silk, from Terrinoni julium... but this is simply at a different level. the octopus is soft, damp but never covers the taste: a combination I never imagined. Maestoso!Fettuccine colors in two flavors, prepared with the topinambur flour and chestnut flour, with sponges and powder of porcini mushrooms: what a fabulous consistency... never eat fettuccine similar: impeccable cooking, delicious the unusual goto and perfect harmony with mushrooms homogeneous ingredients but distinct to the bite. The profile of the tortelli revisited in the pan filled with smoked cheek, ciminà caciocavallo cream, piennolo tomato, origano bitter: all excellent ingredients, so goodness is predictable, but the killer feature of this perfect dish is sauce: Your little shoe could be my three daily meals for a few months without getting tired. Lamb meat accompanied by a salted pastry and a lamb with a lamb and its brain: do you know all the stereotypes on the bitter lamb, little tender, fat? Here, they're just stereotypes: I challenge any omnivore not to love this dish. They told me that the merit is the time spent in brine, that damps any attribute too marked, and makes it so delicate. I trust you. I can only say that such a lamb I never ate it even the superb one of the convivivivivius sluts holds the comparison! Incidentally: the brain in the pita does not feel distinctly to the bite, therefore no fear: it is only “the most good lamb kebab of the planet” ):bavarese to goat milk, apricots and vermouth: a curious contrast between the sweet of fruit and the sapidity of the whim, with the sour note and the sugary one that conflict well. Chicken homage: it's a great coconut dessert... but I personally don't love. and yet I would not have wanted a different closure: brought on a painting, as if it were an abstract work is the coolest dessert I have ever seen. compliments to the pastry chef: a wonderful idea *is not part of the degotation, but you can not avoid mentioning the bread accompanied by the oil produced specifically for the local: It is a drug, as well as the grissini, however, the most crunchy I have ever eaten: I was almost ashamed of the sound produced at every bite! With a glass of tokaji late harvest very fruity but sapid in closing: really interesting water and coffee, the account is of which for the menu Orme. I can only recommend it: It is always difficult to compare excellence, but if I were to return to one of the biellates tested until today, the choice would probably fall on him. simply immense!P.S. thanks for the oil and for the bread I was paid tribute to."

"We visited this restaurant, three times during our visit to Rome. The first two occasions were very good. Service was excellent and food was great. For this reason, and as it was local to where we were staying, we went for a third time. Unfortunately on our last visit we received awful service. Food was served at different times by this I mean one plate for main course served and the other one arriving five minutes later. The same thing happened with dessert. The waiter then disappeared by the side of the restaurant holding what seemed to be cigarettes. As there was nobody there and we wanted to go and after waiting for over 15 minutes I went to the till to ask for the bill. I was not given a bill, I was just told an amount. I asked for the bill. Unfortunately I didn’t have my glasses with me and when I left, it was pointed out that I was overcharged for two drinks. By this I mean, instead of being charged for small Peronis which we had, I was actually charged for large Peronis which were approximately €6 more. I decided not to return to the restaurant as the person at the till was grumpy and rude and acted as if they were doing me a favour by producing the bill. It would have been pointless explaining the error. It was such a shame, as prior to this we had received excellent service and great food. If you go there, you may be better sitting to the left as you walk through the door (better service that side) and also be very vigilant and check your bill."

"We were excited to visit this place for our last night Rome – unfortunately the service was absolutely terrible. We sat outside on the terrace a little before the main dinner. Server offered drinks before we even had menus, then when we asked for a minute, he left us for about 20. I finally knocked him down and we have drinks. We ordered to share a pear salad — it was okay. My husband had the tuna paste and I had the Amatricano, both were good – the problem was the service. The servers ran around the whole time when we had a drink and had to order them down to a second, then again, because we had no cutlery, then again to get the bill (I actually got up to find our server two of the times because we waited for him so long to remember that we existed). When they finally billed, it was not our — but another table and about twice at cost. We asked them to correct it and they went to another French run (and we waited again for them to try to sort it (not sure why they could not just apologize and reprint). Then another random server brought a computer and randomly punched in a number. We asked to see an actual bill and when it finally appeared, it was lower than the number on the computer. Very strange experience overall, killed the mood of our last night unfortunately, although we could find some humor in it. The food was okay, but be sure to control because this restaurant seems very bad. Servers are inexperienced and food is mediocre but not worth the pain."
