“ A very good place to stop by for breakfast. We were walking all morning all over the Rome and finally got hungry and coffee deprived. We found this place and really enjoyed it. Freshly baked croissants, cappuccino and freshly squeezed orange juice - what could be better?! This place is beautiful and cozy inside, with a huge selection of wines, cheeses, meat, canned goods and more. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend to visit this place! ”
“ Excellent food. We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by accident, and were exceedingly pleased by the food, the service and the kindness of the staff. We started with a happy hour special spitz and small charcuterie board, added a Cesar salad and some Caicio & Pepe pasta. We split everything and stayed for about 2 hours. Nice experience. ”
“ Went here for Easter brunch and I have no idea why it wasn't packed. It is a stunning space that could fit in any major city as a must visit place. There is a front room with coffee and pastries, a full restaurant space with private dining, a butcher/cheese counter, as well as a gorgeous back bar. The food was excellent and they even made the most upscale pancakes for my kids. The space is so high end compared to a lot of the quaint Roman eateries in the area. They had an excellent wine list and the staff recommend delicious wines and champagne for us. Would definitely go back. ”
“ Incredible. Fresh ingredients and attentive but not over powering service. Our waitor was so welcoming and generous, which really made the experience. It is not cheap but it is worth it when you consider the quality of food and service. Focus on the cured meats and cheeses - i wouldnt have a main but would pick more of these as this is where they excel. If you know and love wine - you wont be disappointed. If you dont - they will assist and not in a judgmental or pushy fashion. As a special meal in Rome where you are willing to spend a little more it is worth it. ”

“ On point! I have to say the food is amazing....Sebastian is also amazing! He knew his stuff....what to recommend and what we might like as vegetarians. I would say a hidden diamond. ”
“ Don’t be fooled by the simple entrance to this place. It is a wine bar, coffee, bar, bakery, food, theater, restaurant,… The food is amazing from simple pastries, to whole Parma ham. Is anything and everything you’d want in Italy. We had a charcuterie platter that was simply close to perfection. And we had an amazing drink that was a little different than the customary Aperol drink. Made instead with Select versus Campari. I highly recommend you check out this place if in Roma!! ”
