It’s very tiny, but clean and modern inside. No glitz, no glamour, no bustling atmosphere, just a tiny quiet place out of the way. It is not on a big piazza, just a little storefront on a side street. We were the only ones there when it opened at 630 pm. The neighborhood has some friendly small non-descript shops around. The food was really excellent, we both had pasta dishes. The service could have been more attentive but then we were the only ones in there for a while, until an Italian couple came in. They mostly left us alone to talk. Value was good. More authentic than the places on the big squares and the food was excellent.

A small, intimate restaurant with lovely well-priced food. Service was excellent. If you order the filet with the balsamic reduction, I recommend that you ask for it on the side.

Solo diner - they seated me upstairs in front of the bathroom door - I was less than a metre from it. Nothing like the photos as the main dining room is downstairs - I had a reservation but it didn’t change anything. So sick of being discriminated against for choosing to dine alone. However, food was excellent.
