    Wonderful atmosphere!  This is where the locals go to eat!  Our 70 yr old Taxi driver dropped us off and said that we chose a superb place to dine!

    We got a seat within 15mim in spite of the long line.  The servers work super fast and efficiently.

    Pasta was amazing!  Best place so far since we have been here in Rome!

    Very clean.  We ate outside and 90% were local customers.

    I highly recommend this place as a must eat osteria!

    We joined some friends here for dinner. Great outdoor seating area. The service was quick and friendly. Side note: there is not a paper menu, but they will tell you what they have and give a good explanation! Our group got a variety of things including the Cacio e Pepe, Bacini (Cacio e Pepe with bacon), and the carbonara. The food was quite tasty. The only complaint was that the Cacio y Pepe was a bit on the dry side. Other than that we enjoyed the restaurant and the company!

    Best Cacio e Pepe so far that I've had in Italy.  It's def not creamy and cheesy as other places I've had, so I don't feel sick and bad after eating it.  Anthony Bourdain recommended, so it's a  must.  We got here right when it opened, and it started filling up fast--def come early or make ressys.

    Cheese and pepper, such a simple dish but these folks make it perfectly. For 9 euros you get a hot plate of freshly made pasta, with cheese and pepper you can smell from the other table. For the lines they had, service was fast and friendly. I will be dreaming of this dish for months to come!

    A bit of a walk from Rome's city center but Anthony Bourdain said they have the best pasta so I'm sure it is definitely worth the walk.

    We arrived right as they were opening and were seated right away. It seemed like a local hot spot serving Roman food fresh and rather quickly. There is no physical menu but they do have a blackboard by the restaurant entrance listing a few of their specials.

    The Anthony Bourdain special I watched mentioned their Cacio e Pepe dish, so I ordered that one. It's very simple, but oh so good and full of flavor. It's literally just pasta with olive oil, pepper and parmesan cheese.

    THAT IS ALL FOLKS. That. Is. All.

    The pasta dish along with wine totally hit the spot. They had a covered patio area where we were sitting (it was covered because it was in October and there is a chance of rain), but I think its usually uncovered. By the time we left which was within an hour of the place opening, it was completely PACKED. So come early and expect a wait.

    Definitely worth checking out if you are in Rome.
