Friendly staff in a well-situated location. Not too touristy. Food and wine were excellent. Didn't have room left for pudding. Could recommend more highly. Splendid!

We went to this little restaurant because we read they are making the best Carbonara in Rome - we had high expectations. It was perfect! The two older men serving us were the absolut cutest and even we weren’t able to communicate as much, they...were too kind and friendly. The Carbonara was the biggest and best portion I’ve ever seen and eaten in my life. It was just perfect. Would definitely recommend!More

The food was amazing, best carbonada I’ve had in Italy. Do note the portions are very big, could serve 2-3 people easily. The waiters are some old men (70+) but they are super friendly and helpful.

We went for a dinner of cousins, and we were treated amazingly, the food was even better. Strongly recommend if you’re in Rome. It doesn’t seem special from the outside, but after having dinner the whole idea of the restaurant changes, I can assure you...that.More

Chaotic & confused service in the best way possible, with a reassuring language barrier - easily the tastiest pasta we had in Rome (even compared with two other quite “famous” places in the Trastevere area).

Baked potatos was not baked and cold, carbonara was probably from microwave and not good, we are very dissapionted. Octopus was just a tomato souse with…tomatos and 4 pieces of octopus.

We are sorry for yout bad experience! Our restaurant does not serve octobus and baked potatoes! We only serve Roman food.

Reviewed 2 April 2022

Nice cosy restaurant where you can see them making the pasta. The carbonara can be recommended! It’s fully booked and waiters are very busy, so not too much service - but we will still visit it again

My favourite restaurant experience for my entire stay in Rome. Service was very friendly with good humour. Food was just as, or even better than what you imagine when you hear “home cooked Italian”

Very nice food. Especially the pastas are delicious and portions are very big. Also the deserts are very nice. Can only be recommended. Not one of those tourist traps, that are all over Trastevere. Waiters are 2 older men, full of humor and good spirits.

If you want to be hosted by one of the Sopranos AKA junior then this is your spot. All jokes aside, the Italian gentlemen that worked their magic from table to table effortlessly was a joy to watch and the Carbonara....mama mia was delicious. We...came for a quick bite and ended up staying until Lemonchello.More

Trastevere
Trastevere ("beyond the Tiber") is like a faded
postcard, a little worn around the edges but still
charming. With its wide-open piazzas, meandering
streets, weathered Renaissance buildings, and
overgrown personality, it's become an irresistible
mecca for visitors. Trastevere is an enclave of
