  Great Italian vegetables !
  We ate several side dishes: mixed baked vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers), chicorea, broccolinetti, ravioli with truffle and porcini, and they were all great.
  we also ate great spaghetti colle vongole and eggplant flan with anchovie, fried fennels and zucchini flowers. excellent venue.

  Food was nothing special.
  15 Euro for 4 meatballs, no pasta, just 4 little meatballs!
  They ran out of a certain wine by the glass, with not many other choices. How can you run out of wine?
  
  Hidden 10% service charge.  Beware in this tourist trap area; they charge whatever they want if they know you're American.
  Go a few blocks further to Taverna Angelica for excellent food, service and no hidden charges.

  It's not quite a 4-star but it's more than a 3-star. The food was alright but it could have been better, especially the saltimbocca. Considering where it's located in Borgo Pio near the Vatican I expected more. Still a decent meal. Would return.

  2.5 stars. This is my first ever negative review.  I'll start it by stating how much I wanted to love this place.
  
  We are staying just around the corner and thought this looked like a lovely cozy place with a great menu.  We walk in and the staff is professional and friendly.  They seat us and take our starter and drink choices straight away.  So far, so good.  The bread is warm and delicious.  The house wine is fine.  We order the buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad to start-meh for the price, but ok.  Now things take a turn.
  
  My husband got the lamb and roast potatoes.  There were maybe 5 pieces of sliced roast potatoes on the plate and a large portion of mostly lamb fat and bone.  The flavor was nice though.  It was a poor cut of meat, especially for the price.  
  
  My son got spiral pasta in pesto sauce.  There's al dente and there's, well, really really al dente.  We We love the former and dislike the latter.  This was the latter to extreme.  That said, the flavor was really nice, so it's a pity.  My son ate the whole thing because he was hungry and the flavor was nice but it was a shame they didn't give it a little extra time.  
  
  Then came my steak and potatoes.  It was as if my husband and I had the same meal.  Think mostly fat, and sadly, French fries :( on the side.  Cooked nicely and great flavor, but such a poor cut of meat for the cost.  
  
  The staff came by and checked on us and we discussed telling them about the pasta, but my son was 3/4ths of the way in by then, so we said it was fine.  We hurried through dinner, decided we wouldn't be back, and went elsewhere for dessert.
  
  We have had some amazing meals at all price points here in Rome and this one fell short.  Our hope the management reads this and takes it to heart.  Bottom line-nice flavor but poor quality cuts and small details bring this place down. We all left somewhat unsatisfied after an 80 euro meal, and that shouldn't happen...
