This place was awesome. I knew something was up when they only had about five or six tables in the whole place, their website was down AND they basically had no advertising out front.
I've had this place bookmarked for months and wanted to try. We stopped by on our first night, but it was busy inside and we didn't feel like waiting. Fast forward a week and we came back 15 minutes before opening. I didn't know how to make a reservation because it's only by phone, so we just hoped for the best.
The very nice lady said we could have a table as long as we cleared out by 9:00 when that table was reserved for. That's a deal.
We ordered so much. Among us we got the linguini with lobster, salt baked monkfish and the sea bass for two, shrimp with house made sauces and I can't remember the rest. The waitress seemed somewhat surprised because we each ordered at least two dishes, but we ate LITERALLY EVERY MOLECULE on our plates.
Topped it off with dessert. We got the tiramisu and my son got a chocolate cheesecake. My son demolished the cheesecake and didn't offer us a bite. The tiramisu was a life changer - homemade, soft and wonderful. It was almost a creme brulee-type softness and served in a cup. It was the best I've ever had and, to put it mildly, I've had a couple.
It was a fantastic dinner and I will return when next in Rome. Easily the best dinner we had in three weeks worth of Rome. -

This place is the best restaurant we ate at during our 15-day Italy trip. Our travel agent said that it's her favorite place and we now certainly understand why. If you are in Rome, crazy about seafood and near Vatican, this is by far the best choice. The restaurant is small and family run. Everyone was so friendly and made my family of 10 feel so welcome. We shared all of our dishes and enjoyed every bite. I can't remember the names of the dishes we ordered so will just let the pictures speak for themselves. Wish we will come back soon (especially for the calamari and sweet shrimps...truly incredible).

This place was fantastic and had the owners in the building providing the services from selecting the fresh caught fish, to cooking it, to pouring our drinks. Great customer service. I have a seafood allergy and they were very accommodating. The fish they prepared for me was excellent. The price was a little higher than expected but then again they indicated that my dish was for two people.

When in Rome and your looking for awesome seafood place that's only the locals know about this is the place! If your planning on eating here then reservations several days in advance are needed!!! We had to wait until a week night in order to get in. We had the cooked seafood sampler appetizer that consisted of clams, mussels, sautéed cuttlefish, and fried bacala. It was all very good!! My wife and I had the Salt crust Black Sea bass for two. My Brother in law had the North Atlantic lobster Catalana style which was with pepper and tomato's, and my sister in law had the Bucatini with clams. Everything was fresh and tasted wonderful. We just can't say enough good things about this family run restaurant other than you need to go!!

Awesome place! But just know it's very small! Owner on site and family run. Had some of the freshest and most delicious food there. Locals definitely are present. They do take reservations or might want to get here on the early side in order to get a table. No outside seating mainly because the street it is on is very narrow. Good wine selection and reasonably price for the quality of seafood. Very warm and inviting. You also get to pick your seafood out of a display case which is a little fun. If you have any questions about what they have in stock they were very happy to answer questions. If you get oysters try and sample them all. We did 3-3-3 . Overall we will be back for sure!
