I made three visits to this restaurant and ordered different entrees each time. All were good. The parma ham and mellon starter was great. In comparison to other restaurants in this neighborhood, it was the best I visited.

Sunday eve, we went there because we were in San Lorenzo for a brief work stay. Besides us, a family of 8 inside, and perhaps 3 or 4 tables outside that were occupied. The friendly waiter asked if we were interested in fish, they had a - and I didn't get the name - freshly brought in. It was described as a "smaller relative of a tuna", around 30 kg. We saw a photo of it on a smartphone. Certainly not tuna family, but maybe cod or salmon family. Whatever, we went for it, grilled. Since this would take some time, we shared a parma/melon starter. No problems there. The fish arrived, and seemed fresh and well seasoned. But it was quite raw inside. Back to the kitchen. This happens now and then, of course. But while the fish was being re-grilled, the waiters left our contorni (oven roasted potatoes) on the table to get nice and cold. When we got the fish, I have to admit that we were not big fans - there were bits and pieces of very dark, bitter meat bordering on the quite acceptable parts. But no complaints about the freshness. So, we wound up feeling that we had been faced with two mistakes from the kitchen (filleting and grilling) and one from the waiting staff (leaving the contorni to chill). It becomes a pattern, a bit much even on an 'off day' with almost no customers.

I was staying in Rome for only 2 days and was looking for a non-commercial, or say non-touristic spot, where I could enjoy my Italian experience to the fullest. I expressed this to the landlord who later recommended me this place, and I truly did NOT regret following his advice. I immediately fell in love with this restaurant once sat down. There is this indescribable Italian vibe about this place, and the food turned out to be just amazing. Portions were extremely big, so worth the money. My linguine with seafood was delicious, especially the sauce. Friends ordered pizzas and risotto, which were all tasty but I would still go for pasta if had a choice again. Generally, this place is definately worth revisiting!
