"For all non Italian travellers: this is family trattoria so you can expect simple authentic food from this region. No menu - Just tagliatelle and gnoco and simple 4 site dishes and vine . Food is good , served fast , restaurant is clean and staff friendly.And for me it’s enough to gave them 5 star."

"Best gnocco fritto we have ever tasted! It literally melts in your mouth. Authentic trattoria that serves tigelle, gnocco fritto, cured meat, beans and chicken cacciatora. Great quality and generous portion. The waiters keep bringing food until you stop them, that’s so cool! If you want to try tigelle and gnocco fritto, this is the place to go"

"I loved the food but it does not create ‘wow’ effect. You can find fagiolini, tigelle and gnocco which are the local food in this zone. We paid 20-30 per person."

"Fantastic food and service 10/10. Prepare to eat a lot. It is hard to find this type of food in the US, so don't hold back. It's not a place to eat healthy."
