First evening it was a recommendation by our concierge at the hotel- we loved it so much, we came back! Amazing ambiance, having been sat outside both evenings, we loved every bit of the experience! The staff, the food, the wine list- perfection! Thank you so much and can’t wait to visit you soon again!

Innovative offerings and smaller servings, which is a nice change after eating so many filling but mostly very tasty traditional Italian dishes at other restaurants in Rome. More like what one would get at a typical fine dining restaurant in the US (like Austin TX). Service was spectacular. Highly recommend!

Excellent Roman tasting menu. The Carbonara was the highlight. They kindly agreed to make the matching wines all from the local, Lazio area. A great experience and start to our holiday.

Wonderful restaurant in the W Hotel. Outdoor seating area is wonderful with inside options also very welcoming. The food is Sicilian with a strong orientation to the produce found in Sicily. Service was excellent. Food was really excellent and creative. Eggplant ravioli was inventive and wonderful. Black pork with a light chocolate tint was likewise fantastic. The patrons were a mix of american and italians. Staff was great. Highly recommended if you are looking for something other than Roman cuisine!

We decided on the six course tasting menu. Fantastic service, and impressive presentation of each of the dishes. Our menu was designed by the Chef‘s experience along the route from his home near Napoli to Rome. Everything was really amazing.
