Do you cook gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan?

Yes, and you can filter the menu for it. Every dish lists its allergens. Tell us when you book: the kitchen is careful, but it is one kitchen, not a separate laboratory.

What does dinner cost?

Pasta is €13–15, a main €15–22, house wine €4 a quarter litre. With a starter, pasta and a quarter of wine you stay under €30 a head.

Can we come with children?

Of course. We have high chairs and do half portions of pasta without making a fuss about it on the bill.

Yes, all of them, even for a coffee. The card machine always works — and if it does not, the coffee is on us.

First time in Rome?

The right order, without thinking about it.

A starter, the most Roman pasta of all, a historic main course and a quarter litre of house wine.
